Hi, does anyone know if there is a way to change where a today plugin sits? i have SPB Weather, and would like to have the today plugin at the bottom of my screen.
Cheers
start > settings > today > items
select the item, click on move up or down
hklm/software/microsoft/today/items/"name of plugin"
some plugins needs to have "type" changed from 4 to 5.. or from 5 to 4...to be moveable.
cheers guys, but I meant at the bottom of the screen, not just the bottom of the today icons I want a gap in the middle between the icons.

you can use spacer today plugin.. its a tranparent plugin with customizable height.. you can put that between two today plugins..
excellent, cheers
The spacer plugin is decent but it annoys me how long it takes to redraw the screen during rotation, is there anything else out there, even a reg-edit or something?
i would like to align my START MENU ICONS like the iphone. i can't answers in google and here in our forum. how can i possibly do that? im using winmo 6.5x...
Hello,
is it possible to setup a Globus (Earth) background picture in my HD2 (with Energy ROM) similar with the IPhone one? It would be great to have it allways as background: in TouchFlo, lock-screen and dialer... Is it possible? If yes, how can I do this (and where to find the corresponding files)?
Thanks in advance!

You can set the background images for anything you want. Where you set them will depend on whether you have a standard Energy ROM or one with CHT (cookies home tab) installed. If it is CHT then it is simple to change all of your wallpapers - press CHT menu softkey and then Set Wallpaper - you'll find options in there for everything.
If you are not on CHT then you set the home tab and lockscreen backgrounds from the Sense settings tab > Personalise, and you set the Start Menu background from Start Menu > Settings > Home then check the 'Use this picture...' box at the bottom of the Appearance tab and press Browse to select your background image.
The dialer isn't so simple but if you ask in lnando84's dialer skins thread I'm sure he'll be able to help.
Hey guys, I'm wondering whether there is a way to get rid of the icon labels background on the home screen and make it transparent. IMO it looks ugly. I tried looking for a thread that has a solution for this already but I could not find one, if such thread exist, please help direct me to it.
And anyone who might know the trick to achieve this, please share. Thanks!
If you mean riddance of the black background for the white text for the the icons...

There are 2 ways I can think of (and have tried).
===== If you are on stock TouchWiz: =====
Try the app "Desktop VisualizeR" (spelt exactly like that).
Market Link
Do note it's not the most "efficient" way of making transparent icon label backgrounds so it might be too inefficient for people that change homescreen icons on a regular basis. As in it takes awhile to setup all the icons but it works.
Steps:
1. Go to home screen > add widget > Desktop VisualizeR (1x1 SS).
then...
2. Click on the widget > select icon and action (in this instance you can just use an app "Icon" as the "icon" and the "Launch" action as "launch the app" > fill or leave "Label" > set "Label Color" as "Transparent".
Another thing you can do if you want all your future icons to follow a "template" of your choosing (e.g. I want all my future icons created using this widget / icon to have white text on transparent background), then go into your Applications > launch Desktop VisualizeR program > click "Menu" button on your phone > Settings > and now you can play around with the settings.
===== Use another launcher (such as Launcher Pro or ADW etc.) =====
I'm pretty sure there is a setting in the launcher settings that allows all created homescreen shortcuts to have a transparent label background.
I use the GO Launcher App. It solves the problem easily and shows the switch of the homescreens smoothly ;-)
My favourite launcher @ Maket
Thanks guys for your responses. I really wanted to achieve this while keeping the stock TW launcher but there just really isn't an actual mod or anything for this. Since I also wanted to be able to rename the labels, I ended up using GoLauncher EX instead. It's a very good alternative and yes, it is very smooth, especially with a kernel running at 1.7 Ghz.
If you use GoLauncher, you probably noticed that the icons on the dock are much smaller than the ones on your home screen. To make them similar, or in some, equal in size, I had to extract the icons I use on my dock from those .apk's and re-sized them from edge to edge to get rid of the margins because that is what's making them appear small on the dock. I saved the edited icons and put them on my sd card and just used the "Change Icon" option from GoLauncher to use the ones I edited. I also went ahead and made custom icons from folders so that they'll look better at least.
I have a screen shot of my home screen below for you guys to check out. Btw, I'm loving the G-Note! This device is just epic!

Sure. Just download the attachment below. Make sure when you select the icons for use, that you press "No Crop" so that they will display properly.
Thanks a lot, you save me much big time.

Use a rom with Kangtools. Swipe on the left side of the screen = notifications, swipe on the right = shortcuts. Ideal :good:
