Hi everyone!
I have just installed the tweak from the cab repository that allows your home tab background to be visible in all of the tabs... which I totally love!
The only problem is, if you choose a bright(ish) background, its very difficult to read a text message on the messages tab.
I was wondering, does anyone know of a way to add say, a PNG, that has a gradient/transparency fade behind the message text on the messages tab, as though it was a curtain kind of thing.
This would allow the background to show through, yet still allowing a message to be read!
Thanks for you help in advance. I'm pretty new to this all so I have not a clue about where to begin!
sat
that's a good idea, since i face the same problem
Or add an A4 paper behind the message, like in the email tab. That woul be really nice
if someone could make a mod that lets you add a gradient curtain thingy and wrap it up in a cab, I'm sure people will be willing to donate a few £s... I definitely would be.
transparent background on messaging tab makes sms, etc. unreadable
I have been working on this one for weeks now, I've been able to change a whole lot in manila except for this freakin' unreadable white text in the messaging tab, when you've got the transparent backgrounds enabled. Indeed it would be very nice to have like a curtain thing on this tab to properly show your messages
Issue is driving me
If there's someone that is able to do this or even help me along the way,
it would keep me from a mental breakdown (sleepless nights are killin'ya)

i have an htc diamond 2 , only problem is on sms massages , text is too small and difficult to read, any ideas on how to make text letters on sms bigger???
thanks
Hi!
1) Slide touchflo to the settings tab (the last one)
2) Press the left soft button that should say something like all settings (or maybe "more", I don't have a WWE ROM so I really don't know what the button label is). This will bring up the regular windows mobile settings dialog.
3) Select the screen or display icon
4) In the screen dialog select the last tab at the bottom, I should say something like text size
5) Slide the text size slider to desired value
6) You may have to soft reset the device for the changes to be effective

PK
Edited the thread title for a little more clarity.
Also, have you tried sliding your finger on the zoom bar? I know the original Diamond supports zooming SMS text with the capacitive area.

Hi!
I forgot about that simple solution, at least it works in my diamond2

thank you very much for your advice, i have try all but unfortunately nothinkg works, on received sms text still too small, any ideas ? or any program that might fix this?
Thanks
Hi!
Could you please provide some more information regarding how you actually reads your messages. There are at least 3 different places to read a SMS
1) The touchflo SMS tab
2) The touchflo contact SMS tab
3) The regular windows mobile messages application
The suggested solutions mentioned so far only changes the font size in the regular windows mobile messages application (alternative 3). I think the font size in the touchflo interface is hard coded by HTC, and is not changeable without decompiling the touchflo script files and changes the values. This is not something you wants to do, I guess there are only a couple of people in this entire forum capable of performing that task.

PK

ok , nice question , now we getting somewhere , on regular windows sms i can read the text size which i have selected on my system - screen -text size, but needs for someone to play around with a couple of buttons to be able to see that text, also is not that user friendly , (for me at least).
now on the other two cases touchflo sms tabs and touchflo contact sms the text is very small. the last two cases i find it friendly and easy to use and navigate around your sms history with that person.
Thanks a lot.
Regarding SMS editing
DO you know how to solve the problem of the textbox size (to small, you can see only one or 2 lines) when editing an sms from the sms list view ? (e.g. when you want to reply on the same windows where you read the received sms).
Thanks
On WM6.1
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\RichEditHostFontFace
That's only the text box that you type in, not the window that displays the messages. If anyone know the messages one, let me know
In settings there is a setting where you change the text size. Make that bigger and SMS will be bigger..
can anyone be kind enough to tell me how i change the background when you click on the tabs (eg the background of the text message/calendar etc screens)
i want this sort of image (although in an ideal world would look less paint edited)

cheers...have searched but to no avail.
edit:i tried making a theme off of the winmo website but it didnt load up when i installed the cab
There currently isn't a solution for different backgrounds on different tabs. You can either have one for the home tab, or one for all of them.
Since touchflo has been around for quite some time and no-one's ever had different backgrounds on each tab, I don't expect to see it any time soon.
If you'd be interested at a background on all tabs, have a look at HDWall. Just be aware that you'll need to install the high quality cab (in the first post) in order to use cabs created with HDWall correctly.

you could do this using the background for all tabs cab. use the wallpaper as your homescreen and you`ll see it on the other tabs too. if your wanting a homescreen wallpaper and this seperate for the other tabs i dont know how you would do that, someone on here will know. the background for all tabs is in the mods sticky top of this forum

Hi everyone,
I use CHT 1.8.5.
I put on my screen 3 notification icons (CHT feature) - miss.calls, sms, e-mail.
I use manila but on my slider there is no sms card or e-mail card.
When sms,calls,e-mail comes, notification shows number. When I tap on miss.calls notification button, it works and it opens.
But when I tap on the other buttons nothing happens - notifications show there is an e-mail, sms, but tapping on them doesnt open my e-mail account or sms-client.
Can it be "fixed"?

Should work. Switch to CHT 2.0 - much more to play with, loads still to come and SMS/Email notifications definitely working there (plus slick new SMS and email widgets too...)
Hi,
thx, I know CHT 2.0 has much more features. But as far as i know it's no stable, has some buges etc, it's beta. so i must wait.
but I now in 1.8.5 it should work this properly but it doesnt maybe because i have disabled e-mail sms manila card disabled. i dont like them
so does anybody know the trick to do it? something in the registry?
its still beta, so i would wait for alpha release..
dont know a solution for your problem..mine works pretty well (same version)..ask in cht thread.
DN41
Do you have e-mail and sms CARDS on your SLIDER turn on?
My CHT works great, but i dont know why pushing these notification buttons works onlu with missed calls, and doesnt with email and sms.
yeah its turned on..
ah i see, yours or turned off?
DN41
I dont see why you wouldnt at least try 2.0 and see if you get any bugs.....
ive been using it for a while now and havent had any "major" bugs....
had some quicklinks move around a few times but not since the first alpha...
When you consider the amount of people saying its unstable compared to the amount of people using it........... looks like a pretty solid beta to me...
I wouldnt expect to see the final version for a while because the beta is performing well........
back to your problem.......
I dont think it will work if you turn off the tabs/cards....
have you tried turning them on and testing your notification icon......
conantroutman, when cards (email, sms) are turn on, it works well.
so i think tapping on this icon cant take my to the email,sms, because it works only with cards. if there are no email,sms cards on, it's "dead".
About CHT 2.0
1. Do i have to uninstall cht, cht editore etc, yes? what first_
2. you took cab files from this thread? - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792303

lol, I bet if I started a thread saying
"I just cracked this 40 buck app from the marketplace!!! it will totally **** up your phone!!!"
at least one person would use it before the thread was closed!
back on topic...
@lawyer
you must have the tabs enabled for then to work....
the only way to change this would be to edit the code of cht.....
Are there any developers here on XDA who have their own versions of lock screens for the HD2.
I have tried Kumar's ROM series which uses the Iphone like lock screen but it doesnt display unread sms and miss calls properly.
Secondly: I tried Duttys HD Rom series (currently) and it has the HD Mini style lock screen which even gives you a preview of unread messages, appointments, miss calls etc.
So are there other lock screens available ? I see people posting in other threads cool lock screens and mention something about CHT2.0 etc. So is it possible to have other cool looking lock screens which display other useful info too ??
With CHT 2, you can actually even personalize your lockscreen.
Plus, there are many themes prepared for you by other users, just browse the theme threads a bit, there are quite a few which include great lockscreens...

thanks....but i have never used CHT before...so a little confused !!
CHT 2.0 is easy to use, yet infinitely customizable. I highly recommend it.
lock screen
well I'm not sure about developers on xda and I'm not sure if i can put links here.
but i just purchased the pocket shield lock screen (way too expensive) but it is really pretty cool, has lots of settings and very customizable. no I'm not working for them.
on a side note I'm not sure if it's the lock screen or something else but since i put it on the phone i have noticed much better battery life.
and you can try before you buy!
i'll post a link please let me know if it's not allowed

thanks for ur reply guys....i will also check pocketshield..
can some one post any video for other lock screens in CHT...i tried but couldnt find any....
S2U2

I would recommend S2U2. v2.43 is the latest I think and its free. It allows you to disable the Windows lockscreen and replace it with S2U2 (no double unlocking)
Quite customisable and seems to be very stable. Also has notifications for SMS, tasks, missed calls, etc. Shows appointments as well. Many many settings. Reading the CHT thread the one thing that consistently seems to cause trouble is the built-in lockscreen.
Good luck with your choice
With Pocketshield the double-lock issue happens only when CHT installed and CHT lockscreen is enabled, but there is a workaround for that http://jdbp.mobi/phorum/read.php?2,10361,10509#msg-10509
But if you use no CHT there is nothing to worry about.

is pocketshield better or CHT lock screens ?any comparisons ?
pocket shield
in my humble opinion pocket shield is way better than cht. plus for some reason when i get a new msg if sms is running in the background touch-pal always pops up lock or not, but with pocket shield none of that plus it displays the text, voice mail calls {with pics i think} appointments.....and all that
the only real problem i find annoying about is that for some reason it constantly changes the internal text settings to "display msg" when received i hate that so when I'm done setting up pocket shield i have to disable that again but it does not affect how pocket shield works.
like i said it is heads and toes above stock, and cht and s2u.....but the cost is way too much it should be no more than 3-5 and they would make a greater impact in sales.

In WP7 Mango, is it possible to change the text size and icon size of notifications on the lock screen? Email, voicemail, texts, etc. show up as very small icons and small numbers below the date and time, too small for an old man like me.
I have a LG Quantum but I have seen other WP7 phones with small notifications so I am asking in general if anyone knows how to change it.
Even a response saying it can't be done [yet] would at least let me stop spending so much time searching for an answer for now...thx
Im pretty sure it cant be done

Hi old man,
I do not thonk it is impossible.
You need to search for "notification", "text" etc.. in the registry.

That was also my first thought. I can't find anything in the registry related to the font or text for notifications. Lots of keys about notification sounds, but that's it. I will continue searching because surely someone has done it. I took a sideroad and checked google images for mango lockscreens and - sadly - they all looked the same. I had hoped that someone had posted how they had modified their lockscreen, but no.
It is weird to me how MS uses these huge fonts that roll across the screen (e.g. people) but then makes notification text and icons in like a 2 pt font.
