I have searched the forum before I ask this question, but all the .cabs and registry entries i tried didnt work for Leo/HD2/WM6.5?? So maybe someone has a solution for:
- When unlocking the screen, the slider is at the top (hard to reach with one hand), can it be moved to the bottom?
- In the today screen I have two softkey buttons (which I dont use), how do I hide these softkeys? All the utilities (dcinobar,vjtodayII, etc.) dont work anymore on my Leo?

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?
- TKN
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.

i want to remove that system tray and the 2 soft key buttons and the bottom bar ( all the stuff found at the bottom of my screen) i dont want to lose the functions of the keys i just dont need to see them there cuz i already know what they do and i think the screen real estate could be better utilized by LG menu which im trying to use

Thnxs again everyone

have you found a way to solve the problem and remove finally the system tray and the softkeys?
could you post it
thanks
for anybody else that ever wants to remove the top or bottom bar, do search for TodayToggle and/or DciNoBar

check out the cabs provided by Spencepu3 ( 4th post from the top)
to remove the softkeys you need a program called dcinobar.exe. Once you download it just put in on your device somewhere and make a shortcut to put in your windows/startup folder and it will run every time you start your device. to get your softkeys back just delete it
And to remove the tray icons ( namely the battery and wifi icon in the tray) go to windows/startup using file explorer and delete wifinit and initray that should get rid of them.
anh lemme make it easy heres the link to DciNoBar

I think epimazzo may have included this option in his KhanX lite V3.1 rom. I am using the rom now - and there is no bottom tray or soft keys.
Either that - or I did something wrong during install.
The soft keys are still working - but do not appear on screen.
Hi everyone,

I have looked everywhere in wm settings but to no avail, please can someone help me!

hi guys
Diamond 2 has 3 softkeys in the TF3D ; 2 on home screen and 1 on start menu
The two first softeys are quit easy to managed with different apps or direct in the registry. The third is dedicated to the lock screen (phone) function and no one of those apps I tried (ie HD tweak or SK Tools ...) do not managed this softkey. I would like to reassign it to S2U2 instead using the WM6.5 original lock function.
Does anyone has a idea how to solve this ?
Thks
155 visits and no draft of answer ... I feel suddenly a bit clever
Up
That's not possible ... no one has the solution ?
Well ... D2 has more than just 3 softkeys
sigh sigh
Do you mean you want to re-assign the call send button's longpress?

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.
i use diniks...
