COuldn't find this by searching so new thread it is - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

Is there any way to make the default caller id font bigger, like maybe a registry setting or something, I use a metal case with a slot in the front to see who is calling but the text is so small and no exactly in the center of the slot, any help would be great, thanks.

Today Screen Background - Question

I have a question about choosing your own backgrounds for the Today screen. I searched the board, but couldn't find a suitable answer. Hopefully someone will help.
The phone is a T-Mobile Wing (WM6) for reference.
In the "Today" settings, you can check the little box for "Use this picture as the background". No matter what built-in theme I use, no matter what picture I choose, the image displayed on the home screen is washed out. The default images associated with a particular theme are bright and vibrant. But any other picture chosen looks dull and ugly.
What is the reason for this? Any way to correct this behavior?
Thanks,
TimmyZ
Apparently, this is normal behavior. to get around it,go to Programs and open Pictures and Videos. Now navigate to the picture that you want to use as your background. Click and hold on the thumbnail with your stylus until the menu pops up, and then select Set as Today Background. The next screen will let you set the transparency level of the image.
you may have to mess around with the values a little to get what you want.
Good Luck!
Many thanks!
I never would have guess that was the answer.
I had the same question too, I will add this to the FAQ
I'm not sure where I saw that, originally. I'd like to take credit, but I am sure I saw it either here or over at Howard Forums.
It's not exactly intuitive, though, is it?
If only there was a way to use different pictures in landscape/portrait mode... that would be kinda cool
you know i have been wondering about this too for a while. The transparency setting doesn't help me though. I wish it did. For some reason the pictures i select for the background always have a some sort of default zoom so the whole picture is not visible. I tried different sizes of the same picture but it didn't really help. Windows mobile should have a setting for the background picture for tile, stretch, and center like regular windows does. that might solve the problem i am having.
To stop the picture zooming go to nonags.com and search for a program called PIXresizer. Get the picture you want and adjust it to sixe 240*320. it will fit perfectly!
hey man thanks i was wondering how to do that. i thought there was no way to change it!
Not a Problem

Visible lines in threaded sms

Does anybody know, if it's possible to have more than one visible row of text when answering an sms in the conversation app in WM 6.1? I find it very annoying, not to see the text completey that i've written.
the only thing I found is to make text size smaller (Start-settings-screen-text size) You get 2 lines and avery line has lot more text, so I think it's enough, I don't feel any problem when messaging (I have text size set to the 2nd level). I think it's much more readable than bigger text that make confusion. But it's an opinion
Whilst in the text\email message drag your finger along the side of the middle button. You will see some markings on the button with arrows going round in a circle. You can use this to make your txt bigger\smaller.
Hope this helps
Thanks, smaller text size did it
Fortunately the diamond has the VGA display so it stays readable...

Using Registry To Increase Font Size In Threaded Text Messaging

This is probably a WM6.1 question more than a Diamond question, but because I'm using JUICY'S 2.2 ROM, I figured I'd ask here.
I am a person with a visual impairment - I can't see all that well. I've used Windows Mobile devices for a few years but would be very interested in making the text much large on many screens within Windows Mobile. I've been able to do this through the Registry, making the font size larger for menues, pop-ups and title bars. What I can't seem to figure out is how to make the text large in "Text Messaging." In Juicy's ROM, threaded text messaging is used (which I love) but I can't seem to find the registry key to edit the font size of the text that is received. The perfect font size for me in this case would be 14 point font.
Start / Settings / Screen / Text Size - this doesn't increase the font large enough for me.
Please help if you could with this issue. It would be much appreciated.
I was able to edit the font size of the text that I type into "Text Messaging" but still not the actual conversation text size. Please help! Thanks.
Try turning the touch sensitive scroll wheel to the right.

Thanks for the tip - that does make the text a "bit" larger which helps, so thank you. Still would be interested in a registry hack for it though...

How to adjust menu horizontal separator spacing???

Hello all,
Just wondering if anyone knows the registry key (or other) to adjust the vertical spacing of the separator (horizontal line) between items in a menu. My Rogers Touch Diamond came out of the box with terribly altered menu font sizes and various other items with the intention (I'm assuming) to make it more touch friendy. The problem is the menus were never designed to be this way, so it appeared very sloppy and out of place. I finally managed to find the various registry keys to bring font sizes and selection dots and check marks back to the normal size (as per my previous HTC Touch) with the exception of one thing: the spacing above and below the horizontal separator line.
The first attached image ("Old.jpg") shows how the menu previously looked on my Touch. The second image ("New.jpg") shows how my Diamond currently looks. You'll notice that everything is basically the same now, except for the space above and below the horizontal line.
I did some searching, and came across the "SepYMrg" key in HKLM\System\GWE\Menu. The MSDN site defines this key as "the margin of white space above the menu separator line", which sounds like what I am looking for (or at least half of it). The key did not exist in my registry but, after adding and adjusting it, the result was still not what I'm after; instead of adding more "white space" above and below the line, it seemed to make the line thicker. The third attached image ("Adj.jpg") shows the result.
Does anyone know how I can make the necessary adjustments to get my Diamond's menus looking like the old ones? Any help would be much appreciated, as always.
Regards,
Bump.
I'm sorry to keep bumping this thread, but I'm hoping eventually it may catch the eye of someone with the answer.
Anyone?

Dialer with large TEXT not Buttons

Does anyone know of a WM6 dialer with large text rather than buttons? There seems to be a load of dialers developed where the buttons have been made clearer and larger but I find the caller’s number and name just absolutely minuscule. I find this very strange as there seems to be a load of space available on the screen but most of it is used by the number buttons. Given that it possible to use voice dial and speed dial etc I don't really find the larger buttons too much of a premium. I just can't read the name of the person listed beside “Last Call:"
Can anyone point me towards a dialer of is anyone working on one?
Much appreciated in advance!!
