how to set the opera in HD2 to show scroll bar? - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

i try to set it in 'about:config' but it has no response! i have checked the box of show scroll bar but no change! can anyone help! many thanks!

i havent tryd this so just guessing, but isnt it like the other scrollbars? where you have to hold your thumb far right for the scrollbar button to 'grow out'?

i've tried but the scroll box dont come out!

it is very inconvenient especially when need to drag down to the bottom. now i have to scroll with finger many times! pls help!

Has anyone found the solution to this problem yet?

Come on guys? Am I the only one who visit long web pages?

did anyone find a solution to this.
Is is not possible to have a pop-out enlargened scroll bay in Opera.

Sorry guys but Opera just doesnt have a real scrollbar. All you can see there is a sort of indicator, not more not less. It is just not an active part of Opera just a visual thing. You cant do anything about that...

How can these very basic function be missing in opera which is supposedly one of the best browser!
Even stranger is that I spend two hours searching and noticed that not much people are complaining about this......
Very bad when trying to read entries from wikipedia. Had to flick my finger till I feel like throwing the phone out the windows! Guess I've to start searching for an alternative browser.....

I often read large documents with opera. Getting to the bottom of one webpage I had to swipe down 500 times - yes I counted them!
I agree this should be a standard function of any browser.

the link does not work ?
do you have the file elsewhere ?
how to use this browser (how to zoom in/out, where's back button...)?
I was able download the file but it will not install on wm6 , any ideas on that ?
Works fine on WM6, to zoom in/out double tap and hold on the second tap, move up to zoom in and down to zoom out. Best web browser out there..IMO

thank you for the file. I noticed it crashed when going to flash intensive sites but still a very nice browser for other files like pics and things like that.
Browser is awesome ... lovin it.
WOW this is the coolest web browser! Thank you!
Now I can view pictures, therefore able to view my daily comic strips
Office documents
I think it also shows office documents with full capabilities.
Check your synchronisation first because those settings will change your word document to a pcoket word document
i think the layout of this browser is awesom but when going on internet it takes a very long time to load a website and
but even though i love it!

Your welcome. and yeah it has it qorks about it, i'm really liking opera8.6
you can turn flash on in the REG settings ... search for Picsel
WOW! This browser/pdf/txt/ppt/doc reader is awesome! Renders all to a single page format so you can use your fingers to grab it like pdf pages. Renders all the text to cleartype too.
THANKS!
One thing I can figure out is how to browse back and forward on it, and how to click links without double tapping?
back
tap the icon bottom-right and you see miniature-pages on the lift- and right-bottom to go back and forward
File has been removed. Got a nasty letter from Picsel Tech. lawyers.
just wanted to make a quick note that, for zooming, if you hold on the 2nd tap and drag left or right, it will create a box which will fill up your screen once you let go of the tap (similar to how deepfish worked, i believe)

just PM me and ill give it to you
just curious,
for what device was picsel browser actually developed?
Don't know but whoever made it was dumb to keep it uder locks like this, they should atleast sell the damn thing. Idiots..
The one I'm using says its for Samsung PDAs only, which is funny because I've never heard of a Samsung branded PDA, ever..
I love it for content heavy sites, online manga & PDF veiwing.
IMHO it is the fastest PDF viewer I ever used.

New User Interface

Hello,
Pointui.com has launched a new user interface, similar like iphone and its free.
Check out a detail review over here.
Nice!
Looks very promising. But I think it will be a real memory eater. Can't wait to see the first reviews.
Interface
interesting, looks very nice. apparently, they will release their first version at midnight today. can't wait 00.00 and by the way, i wish u all a happy happy new year with out beloved wizards

It does look nice, but you realize that was a demo, right? I'd like to see a real demo with an actual running copy of it with a real finger using it. As far as I could tell, thats just a flash (or similar) example.
BTW the website (with countdown clock) is at http://there-is-no-place-like-home.com/
mfrazzz, if you want to know for sure then go and download it
It's now available.
BTW: I'll retract my above statement after watching this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRw1T-N5dic&feature=user
Looks impressive as the other demo.

Thanks and it looks very slick and is very responsive. I have issues trying to setup my home location for weather though. First, I find it odd that USA is seperate from North America . Then when I select Colorado and choose a letter (C for example) it first loaded the B's. Then I exited out and came back in (as it kept showing B) and did it again. Choose C again and it loaded W's...
Still this look very impressive. Are we allowed to cook this into roms?

It's free, and I didn't see any licensing information so I don't know why not.
Hi mfrazzz, sounds like you are hitting the right of the screen in the area that activates bookmark scroll try clicking in the center or to the left.
In the future it would be great if you guys want to burn it into roms, but if I was you I would wait for a few bugs to get sorted out. We are going to be spending the next few weeks working through issues that have already been raised in our forums.

Yeah, I think my problem is I'm doing quick and light presses. I need to get the feel of this, but if I do a more firm press its selecting thing properly. So I think this is a case of user error in learning this

Yep, fully understand.
Quick question... Is there anyway to get to the Apps that are located in the Start Menu? (\Windows\Start Menu) . This seems to show apps starting at \Windows\Start Menu\Programs . So by default things like Office, Contacts, etc are not available (unless I'm missing something again).
On first blush, I'm impressed so far. Now people need to rewrite the apps underneath so they are more finger friendly too
Hi mfrazzz, try in Favorites.

Its really useful, but theres is some of the thing that is missing in it, if intigerated than it would one of the most useful program a winmo user will ever need. I will write a review on it may be tommorow check my blog.
This looks freaking sweet. There is one thing that I noticed though. Kinetic/Touch scrolling is normally done opposite in the direction of scroll so that the text/image follows the direction of your movement. This seems to bg going in the direction of scroll. Is there a setting to change this?

You can change this. Hit your settings button (upper right gear symbol) The change it to object navigation from slide naviagation)
Also for those that can't close programs. Hit the program name (of the app you have open)in the upper left, then choose force close. So far i have only seen this not work on the phone screen which you have to minimize.
I really like this interface and it's a keeper for me. The only issues i really have is #1) Reoccuring appointments do not show and #2) it defaults to outlooks e-mail instead of the account switcher. i don't use the outlook e-mail, instead i check 2 pop accounts. My work around for now is to add a shortcut to messaging to the startup and access it there.
If anyone has a work around for the above, please post it.
GREAT APP though!
Hi ROCOAFZ, version 1.01b is going to be available soon which allows for an alternative email store - you can specify a different store name and the unread email indicator is the total for all your email accounts. Won't have a screen to update it at this stage - just a registry val to set, but with a bit more time...
1.01b is going to be the first mass test of Update Manager. Man, I hope it works
Recurring appointments - on the list, but don't expect it within the next few days - we're back to day jobs as of tomorrow and presently spending time trying to tackle some of the bigger bugs. Actually, we are spending our time trying to keep up with our forum and getting no coding done
Glad you like it.
Hi everybody,
I have written a detail reveiw of pointui home here check it out.
well i just install it on my phone and i think it's a lovely app. run fairly smooth on my wizard. kinda lag on the switching of viewing mode, unlike the video. beside that i love.

I have installed and it's rather nice, data usage more than mini bout 2.5x on large pages, it's quick on page load, it's got a neat cube effect for history, got tabed browsing trying to get used to as it has no open in new tab, can't work out how to get to home page without closing or setting as bookmark. Oh and a mouse pointer like mimi.

yeah, the home page thing is goofy. other than that i love it. i turned off that page overview though. it was annoying me. so far it's very fast. i might use this over opera.

you are a gentleman and a scholar.
i appreciate the quick run down. i guess ill give it a shot...
edit: hahah jeez..i make it sound like its manual labor to download and install....it must be monday...or im that damn lazy and unmotivated.
forgot to mention: i'm running the t-zones on t-mobile.
hmmm, other than having to get use to it and no obvious active zoom in and out buttons...i like it.
Also I'm gonna try and tweak the registry a bit...the scrollbars are WAY too thick.
can't find the registry settings...any help?
it looks like there is code available on the download page. that's not really my area though.

Yeah it was hardcore having to install that .cab, Just wanna congratulate you on your sticky that's slick.
After a bit of use i would say it's nice and free, but does not compare to Opera Mobile or Mini, i could see in the future it could with a little bit of tweaking, Home Page, Open in new tab.
Will keep it on phone and hope updates solve this.
i downloaded it but if i go on you tube press play video it states error the url does not use a recocognised protocol... i have a htc s 620

If your new, what you do is use this button called "Search" button. Every site I have registered for, and trust me - when i say every site, i mean a lot of them be it mobile, car etc. How is that I've always been able to find my way by using the "search" button but most new users will not do that. Give the search button a try and just see the results, almost everything has been gone over.
Welcome to the site and Enjoy your stay here.
To answer your question, it's because you need to install TCPMP (A Media Player with special flash codecs) or search for vTAP for you to play youtube videos. Good Luck!
P.S: Noone is trying to be rude or mean, it's just that some members get ticked off because everyday we have newbies coming in and asking the same questions. Go through the first few stickies and you'll find that almost all your questions have been answered.
i do have tcpmp installed but it still comes up with error i did search but it came up with irelevent answers like unrecognised usb etcs
i think ill give the iris a miss

Opera password wand

Hello all,
I tried to search for this question here and on Google, but with no success. I have a possibly dumb question about using the built-in Opera browser. It stores user names and passwords to be able to log on to your favorite sites more easy. So far, so good ...
But, how do I recall these passwords with the finger keyboard on HD2? When I go to a page with a stored user name / password pair, I can see the respective input fields surrounded by a yellow box. So, the detection of these fields seems to be working ok. What do I have to do now on the screen to get the values filled in? I tried double-tap, tap and hold and all kinds of sliding movements ... nothing works for me. Neither the HD2 manual, nor the Opera Mobile website says anything to this.
Is there someone who knows how this is supposed to work? Any hint is appreciated ...

Whenever I let Opera remember a username/password combination for me, it automatically fills them in for me whenever I visit the site. The page needs to be completely loaded before it does it, but other than that it just works for me.

You are right, I checked with some other sites. Unfortunately it doesn't work with the site I wanted to use it preferably. Which by the way is my web mail provider, GMX (www.gmx.de). So, it must have to do with the structure of their page. Still don't know why that happens, but thanks for your hint!

Aldiko Problem on X10 Mini

Aldiko book reader renders the pages a little bigger than the screen, so after a few pages the text starts to move to the right, and on the left of the page appears text from the previous page. After a few pages, depending on the book, this becomes unreadable.
Any solution or settings for Calibre (or other convert program)
THX
Hi there mate, sorry to hear about that, the driving force for my X10 was that the screen made an amazing ebook reader. As of yet i have not hit your problem
I havnt used their internal store i imported my own and used this converter
(http://ebook.online-convert.com/convert-to-epub) so maybe try re-converting or re-downloading
may i suggest also turning off oreintations AND / OR animations i have them both OFF and they may be the reason.
Does your ebook have may picutres? or iregular formatting?? that might be the issue
reinstall the program, im using the premium version which as far as i know has nothing new its just to suppor the dev's but maybe try that??
let me know if it works or not
ALSO wat sub model im using the x10i from NZ wbu??

sorry just re-read your post and i didnt realise that you have an x10 mini, still try some of my suggestings, it may just be your tiny screen size
I think that is not problem screen size, with FBreader or WordPlayer have not problem with rendering,only with Aldiko.Will try some of Your suggestions
THX
well as far as im concerned aldiko is the un-disputed best ebook app on the market and if i were in your shoes i'd try my hardest to get it to work, but if it doesnt work for ya wat can you do?? SHORT OR REINSTALLING THE OS??? and u dont wana do that!!!
It definetely has to do with the small screen size, unfortunately.
Maybe in a future update of the Aldiko app, the low screen resolution will be better supported. But in general, such small screens are not intended for reading.
Maybe help Update.
Reading is OK,I step from K810i to X10 Mini and is perfect.

I have a similar problem, though the other way around. As each chapter starts in Sun Tsu "The Art of War", that comes with Aldiko, the page is correctly displayed, but for each new page within a chapter you see a little bit more of the next page on the right of the screen and a little bit more of the page you're on disappears on the left. I have found no layout settings to fix this. I assume you all can reproduce this and that it is due to a bug in Aldiko that will hopefully be corrected.
Problem solved after new Aldiko update.
