[REQ] How to remove text below shortcuts on today screen? - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

Hi to all...
I did search and search but nothing found. On my today screen - home tab - I have 20 shortcuts. Below the icons of the shortcut appears a text label.
With 20 shortcuts the text is very small, barely readable and in my opinion very distracting. Therefore I prefer shortcuts without the text label.
Where should I search? Manila files, registry? Can anyone point me in the right direction or hand over a solution?
Would appreciate your help! I'm using the 1.61 ROM and have the Max Manila mod installed.

Found some of a solution myself. I'm not yet satisfied with it though.
The text can be removed by editing the registry:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Home\nn
Where nn stands for shortcut number, eg. 1, 2, 3, ..... 20
Look for the entry DispName. This contains the shortcut text.
Replace the text by a space.
Now the text box is gone, but the little black textfield remains.
When replacing the DispName by an empty string the text box also disappears, but now the whole shortcut icon becomes grey. So that is not a nice looking option.
Still looking for a better solution.

Nobody here to offer some help??
Just can't imagine I'm the only one who wants to get rid of the text below the shortcuts on the home tab. Without this text the home tab looks so much cleaner / nicer...
PS: Happy NEW YEAR to all !!

HTC Homeplugin - How to edit white & grey text for: Home, Weather & Music Tabs?

HTC Homeplugin - How to edit white & grey text for: Home, Weather & Music Tabs?
Prior to posting this message, I have researched extensively on this site and Google for the answer but have not been successful. How can the white and grey text be changed to a different color in the HTC Homeplugin? For example, in the home tab, I am referring to the "carrier" name and "MM/DD/YY". In the weather tab, the white text for the current temperature vs. high= white and low= grey. The music tab initial text is white "Music Player" until you activate the media player and the text changes. I am currently using a white "tsk" and it makes it very hard to read the grey and white. I tried editing the "setup" XML file that is part of the initial HTC Homeplugin 6 tab version (I believe it's the latest one).
Any assistance on finding an answer to this inquiry will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
I have the same question about HTC Home customize (in Wizard forum): how to add more tabs, change categories as I want... but no one answer yet! Could you, the professional, please show to the newbie the way to do...
Up to now, I only can add my app from storage to 1 of 9 block in Laucher tab (by create a shortcut in Program folder) and to tray (by using PHM toy)...

As much I hate to say it, right now there is no option to change the color of the carrier and date. My only suggestion to you would be to use a darker tsk or use HHC to change the background of the home plugin to something darker like the original background. Maybe some day they will come up with a way to change those 2 features but it is not currently available.

As for the Home plugin, you can add up to 6 tabs using the home customizer or schaps advanced configuration tool. You can also pick and choose which tabs you want.
For example>> When you flash the TNT.1437 Rom, the default setup is 5 tabs(home, favorite contacts, weather, launcher, music) but if you don't want the weather, but instead you would rather have the profiles tab, you can easily change that or have all 6 tabs.
As far as the launcher goes, you can only have 9 apps there and I don't think anything is gonna change that. If you need a quick launch solution, take a look at cLaunch. It's free and lets you do the same thing as the home plugin, only not so stylishly. Or if that is not an option for you then use PHM Power Toys and use TrayLaunch and that is just as effective.
Another Option for you would be Wisbar Advance Desktop(sorry, not free). You are able to create multiple pages and flip through them as you please(if you use HTC Home Customizer to unlock the home plugin you will be able to use it with WAD), add shortcuts to the desktop, create full themes for your today screen... etc. It's a really nice app but like I mentioned above, It isn't freeware.
OK! That means there's no way to add more tabs (just home, favorite contacts, weather, launcher, music) and add more block to Launcher either!
In fact I dont need new theme or skin but I'll try Wisbar Advance Desktop 1.3.0.7.

As a long time member of this forum, I must ask you to remove this post. Whether or not you got it for free or not is entire on you but please do not offer warez here. Offering someone Wisbar Advance Desktop for free is still stealing from the author even if you received it for free.
OK, done, man!

WM6 - Hide Horizontal Lines on Today Screen?

Hey all,
Is it possible to hide those annoying colored horizontal lines on the today screen that separate your plugins, etc?
I could have sworn I saw an option for it when I first got my device, but can't find it anymore.
Thanks in advance.
Impossible
I have been searching for over 6 months and the answer is---NO.
You can only change the color to match the theme (useless) or use something like Wisbar Desktop to change your desktop and eventually mask over the line.
I feel your frustration. I hate those lines too. Can't get rid of it (and MSDN Library has nothing on it!).

Remove Title in TF3D tabs

Does anyone know of a way to remove the title in the tabs of TF3D? The one I would really like to get rid of is the "Programs" title bar since it wastes so much space on the top of the screen.
Or if it is possible to just downsize the font to increase space?
Thanks!

Or if anyone knows how to fix the scrolling start location on the programs tabs of TF3D...I can manually scroll up a tad to show 3 full rows of programs icons with their text label below. Otherwise by default I see 2 3/4 rows of programs buttons.

Help with a theme...

Sorry for being a noob if this is an easy fix, but I've been searching for hours now and can't find anything. I found a theme I love except for one thing. I'd ask the guy who skinned the theme, but he says he's not around anymore, no time.
When I view a text message in on the screen where it shows this pic of the person, the date and time sent, and the call back number, the box with that info is a very light grey. Problem being is the text is white. I'm new to themes, and can't find the right file to change. I don't want to change the text color, just make the box black too. Can someone direct my to the right file to edit? I'm on WM 6.5. Attached is pic of what I have...
Thanks in advance for any help...
Moved as not theme release.
Anyone? Could someone at least point me in the right direction? Am I looking for a css, a png, a gif somewhere? I also noticed today that the address bar and search bar for Opera have white text on white background. I'm also looking to change those 2 backgrounds to black also...

[Q] Android Homescreen Shortcuts

G'day there, I have a quick question:
Is there a way to add shortcuts to apps to my homescreen as just a line of text? I'm using Regina Launcher because it allows different styles for every screen, and its a really neat creativity tool, but I'd like to push it further.
I'd like to be able to put just a line of text (or a long transparent icon with a text graphic, im not fussy) on my homescreen as a shortcut to the app. Is there a way?
Thanks in advance for any input.
I think you can download an icon pack with icons looking like texts (and not pictures), then choose the option on launcher to not show shortcut's name.
