I just got my Fuze on Monday and out of the box the top and bottom bars on the today screen were green. So I tried to change the theme to Guava Bubbles because I like red but nothing happens. No matter what theme I choose the bars stay green. My wife's phone has the same problem but hers is stuck gray.
What am I doing wrong?
Make sure you disable TF3D first, change the theme and soft reset.
It should work.
Tried that already several times. No luck.
Sometimes it takes a few tries. Its like the classic theme doesn't want to be overwritten but if you go through each theme, eventually one will change.
When I encountered this, I found a cab called black bars, and had to load each theme then try the cab file after each theme loaded.
So you're saying if I change the theme and soft reset it several times it should take?
Just change the themes without resetting
Figured it out but it's not an ideal solution. No matter how many times I did a soft reset it wouldn't change. I had to go into settings and select 'Clear Storage'. This basically reset the phone to factory settings. After that it let me change the theme.
Now can anyone tell me how to change the two selections on the bottom bar of the today screen? Right now I have Calendar and Contacts but I'd really like to replace Calendar with Phone.
Just do a reg edit to HKLM\Software\HTC\Manilla and change the HomeLSKPath and HomeLSKText for left soft key and repeat for right key, HomeRSKPath and HomeRSKText.
Path = Program location (eg., Program Files\Phone.lnk)
Text = Soft Key name. (eg., Phone)

I've got a UK Orange M600 (Prophet) and have a number of today plugins but i'm running out of screenspace in the today view.
there is a taskbar at the bottom with an icon for the comm manager which i'd love to get rid of. I already have a hardware button for the Comm Manager i don't need an icon on my today screen as well and it takes up the whole width of the screen even though it is just one tiny icon
does anyone have any idea how to get rid of it, i've even swapped to the latest Dopod rom and not loaded any of the extended ROM and it is still there
Sorry if this isn't exactly the right place to post this but it's been driving me crazy.
Any help would be appreciated
Go to windows\startup. There should be an init_tray.lnk there. Delete it, then reset the device.
Cool
thanks worked a treat.
I knew it should be something simple
Do you know what Capnotify.lnk is? which is also in my startup dir
Nope. It links to Capnotify.exe in windows dir, but I have no idea what that does.
You could always try cut / paste to move the link somewhere else, boot without it and see what's missing (my guess, some notification won't work).
As long as you don't delete the link completely it should be relatively safe.
Instead of being lazy i looked it up
found this
Looking inside my \Windows\Startup folder on my Wizard, I found a shortcut to an application called CapNotify.exe. Upon inspecting the file in a hex editor, I found a registry key called "EnableIndicator" which was not found in the registry. After creating the registry entry called EnableIndicator at \HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd and assigning the DWORD value of 1 to it , then soft-resetting my device, an indicator appeared next to the keyboard icon on the bottom of the screen! Tapping the Shift key showed a "C" while tapping the Dot key showed a dot! Very cool!

sounds like a typical Windows Thing, something which is run all the time on everyones compauter but not even enabled in 99% of cases
OhWell
Thanks. No I know I can get rid of it since my device doesn't have a hardware keyboard.
My bottom toolbar has stopped having the gradient from whatever theme, and just shows up as a solid pale colour. This started yesterday. My phone ran out of battery and turned off, which is what caused it I'm guessing.
I have tried changing themes and soft resetting. If I choose a different theme, the bar will change colour to whatever the WM6 scrollbars/buttons are.
Its really ugly and I can't work out how to fix it. I'd really like to avoid hard resetting though..
If I press a softkey or the SIP button then the gradient appears on only the button pressed momentarily. Check out the attached screenshots.
I'll give this one bump before I resign myself to a hard reset :/
I have added two new themes to the FUZE and they are listed in Settings/Today. However, the theme does not change on the Today Screen when I select the new theme. I can only have the default theme no matter which theme I select. This all happens when I turn off the Touchflo 3D and try to use only the original Windows Mobile 6.1 Today Screen. Anybody can help?
Which themes have you added? Are they for different system colors?
have you tried a soft reset?
hello, are you hitting the ok button after you select the theme, does it change if you select on of the included default themes?
lupe
Are they Qvga themes or Vga themes ?
These are VGA themes. Even I tried to load the original Windows Mobile Green and Guvava Bubbles, there is no change. Only the Windows Mobile 6.1 would change the top bar to a dark green color. Yes, I always hit the OK button after selecting a different theme and I have not tried the soft rest yet.
Thanks!
Soft reset
Soft reset that dude.
As suspected, Soft Reset did not change anything.
i have the same thing happen when i add a new tsk. i put them in the windows folder, soft reset, and some times it takes changing the theme 5 or 6 times to get it to take. i don't have a solution i just keep trying it till it takes.
Changing themes.....not happening
I am having the exact same problem. No theme takes, I only get the green color across the top when I choose the win mo 6.1 theme. Nothing else.....any other suggestions out there?
Are you trying to change the WinMo theme or the touchFlo3D theme?
The Window Mobile theme... I am having the same exact issue... I can't get rid of this horrid green windows theme. No matter how many soft resets i do.
Actually I figured this out myself. But it comes at a price.
It takes doing a hard reset on the device. Not the one using the volume button center button and the reset. Won't work don't try it.
Goto the start menu ---> settings ---> system tab ---> clear storage (yes you can guess what does) So I would backup any files you need before doing this process.
The phone will go through the same process as it came outta box when you bought it. If you were like me it came out green outta the box. It seemed a second chance of reload the Flo3D software made the phone have a change of heart and allow me to make the window mobile theme whatever i wanted on the first try.
Hope this helps others.
A couple things I want to customize:
(1) When dialing a call, I have to use the touch screen to dial numbers... unless I lock it into number mode first, then I can use the keyboard.
How can I make it default to number lock??
(1) The power button only works for waking up the screen.
How can I make the power button turn off screen or power off phone??
(3) Want to add icons to Home screen. Tried CHome Editor, but it's not working for me. No matter what I do, It won't commit any new panels or icons. It will only add or remove icons that are already part of the Windows Default.
Any ideas??
(4) And one more thing... The clock is not syncing with the provider. And I can't find a setting to make it.
Any help appreciated. Thanks!
I looked around a little bit but didn't see any other threads with answers so I started a new one. Is that ok?
I have recently been changing my cons, both with BetterCut and Folder Organizer.
However, the stock message icon refuses to change over with either option. Every time I try to change the icon, it will appear on the screen for maybe 2 seconds and then it will disappear and the old stock icon will appear in its place.
And to compound my confusion, if I switch over to LauncherPro, the icon switches fine. It is only when running Sense as my home launcher that this happens. tried a re-boot to no avail.
Any ideas?
