Hello!
I am wondering if it is possible to remove the scrollbar that shows up on the today screen? I have seen somewhere on the threads that you can remove the scrollbar from a today plugin. But is there any way using the registry?

The only way to do that is to not put more on it than it can show all at once. You can however make the scrollbars thinner by editing the registry.
HKLM\System\GWE-cxVScr for verticle scrollbars and changing the value to a number less than 13
HKLM\System\GWE-cxHScr for horizontal scrollbars
ehhh...
......
Well I do not have more than the screen but it still shows the scrollbar and moves just a little bit up and down. And because of that, it is covering one of my tabs from SPB Pocket Plus.

if u have good eyes, you can reduce the text size, go to start > settings > system > screen and the text tab....
You could take off an unnecessary plugins from Start -> Settings -> Personal -> Today -> Items
But i'm guessing you need all the stuff on the today screen...
I have the same problem occasionally with cLaunch. If you have even one pixel more than what can be shown on the screen it'll put up that damn scrollbar. I also ran in to that problem before when I didn't have too much on the screen but for some reason it would be there anyway until I rotated the screen by opening the keyboard and then when I closed it again it would magically dissappear. I never did figure out why that was happening, but it hasn't happened since I started flashing new ROMS.
Just came up with 3 possibilities to fix your problem.
1. Check and see if pocket plus has a heighth adjustment. If it does, adjust it to be a few pixels shorter and see if the scrollbar dissappears.
2. If you don't use the icons in the system tray for anything, use explorer or explore in activesync and go to windows\startup and remove the Init_Tray.lnk and then soft reset. The system tray will be gone and you'll have that much extra room on your today screen and the scrollbar should dissappear after that.
3. Install this cab that I'm uploading. It's called vjtoggletoday-removing bottom bar. It removes the bottom bar that has the calendar and contacts links on them. You will still be able to use the soft keys just above the call and end keys to bring them up when ever you want, but you'll gain the extra space on your today screen where the bottom bar used to be.
another option would be to use the nice today plugin SPB Mobile Shell. It makes it possible to safe a lot of space on your today screen. It works very well with any other today plugin (eg Pocket Plus, Phone Alarm, SPB Wheather, etc). Still one of my favorite pocket pc programs!
I am using all of the SPB today plugins. I fixed the problem by having two lines instead of three in BatteryStatus. Appreciate everyones help.

Hi,
I'm wondering, is there an option somewhere to make WM 6 or 6.1 do a "shadow text" effect on text on the home screen? I have a nice home screen image, mostly dark but with a few lighter colored spots. The text on my phone is white so in the light colored spots, it's hard to see. I could set it to black, but then it's hard to see it in the dark areas.
I know Facade has this, but I kind of like the WM6.1 home screen and would rather just use it w/o Facade.
So.. Anyone know a trick? I searched the net and the board but didn't find much (not that it helped having a search term (shadow) that's also the name of a phone!
Thanks,
Tim
I do not really know what the panel where the soft keys are located at bottom of home screen. I use device to view appts and in EnergyROM, I would like to make this bottom most portion transparent, except for the soft keys of course! I could see the last two appointments without flicking the screen. I am willing to search but what is that called? I already have bottom curtain transparent. Thx!

Try out CHT 1.8.5 and enable Mini Lock screen. the lock bar goes across the bottom of the screen, and you just slide your finger downward. It doesnt feel awkward at all. i find that its awkward slide right or left due to the size to the phone, almost as thou i may drop it. Also the Mini Lock screen is better because on the lock bar, notifications like email and missed calls will show. put your finger on those icons and slide down to go directly to that sense tab retrieve your message vs to the home screen.

How do you stretch the today wallpaper in the fuze? I can set it but its tiled, how do I make it centered or stretched to fit the screen?
Ok I figured out the change. I changed the resolution for the pic to 480*640 and it works just fine now. Its stretched to the entire screen.
BUT I have a new problem
I now have task bar showing at the top when I lock my phone. The battery bar, carrier, volume icon, start button etc. How do I get rid of it?
Also how can I change the clock and unlock scroll bar between the top screen and bottom screen?
