lost that little bar at the top of the start menu - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

yo!
dunno what ive done but ive lost that little bar at the top of the start menu - you know, the one with just icons of recently opened programs anyone know how to get it back?

Maybe my eyes but I have never seen the old WM5 top bar on my WM6 TyTnII??
edit..
Actually its not only my eyes its my memory also. I think you have to go back to WinCE for them on a PPC. Unless you have a WM Smartphone then they are at the top!

the small horizontal row of icons right at the top of the start menu when you press the start button? im sure it was there earlier today!

They are the programs that have been set to always show in the start menu. They only appear as a horizontal list of icons when in landscape mode so that they all fit in. In landscape mode they appear in a vertical list with text labels like the rest of the items in the menu.
You can choose which icons appear by going to Start -> Settings -> Menus.

Those only show up in landscape mode. In portrait, the full list with titles is displayed.

ahaaaaa! loool me being an idiot then! lol cheers guys youre right!

Scrolling with wheel.

Hi there.
Is there a plugin which will delete scroll bars from today screen. I just wan't to scroll my today screen with the scroll wheel so that there are no scroll bars present.
This would a lot when using keyboard because scroll bar is so small when using phone with keyb. so it would be nice to be able to scroll the whole screen not only the bottom part of today screen.
You either need to remove some items from the today screen or make them smaller (if that's an option).

I would like to have more items on today screen but I'm annoyed by that horrible scroll bar.
My friend has a small hp ipaq smartphone and it has this kind of "no scrollbar" function.

Windows start icon cut off...

I just noticed that the Windows icon on the upper left of my screen which opens the start menu, is cut off. Only the left half is visible and it makes it more difficult to tap to open since the icon width is half the original size. Is there a way to fix this?? BTW I did a search and there was no info available on this...
try schaps advanced config,if problems still happens then try hard resetting,you might need a different rom

This was an Issue on Dutty's April 1 Hybrid ROM. Did you look in there for solutions? I don't think there was. Was a bug in the Rom.
Thanks for responding. I was finally able to figure this one out. I opened WkTask from preferences and there is a setting for horizontal offset. I just increased the value in the box and it fixed it in "real time" ie as I increased the number the open program field moved to the right, uncovering the Windows icon and giving me improved access to tapping it to open the start menu. All is well!

Quick Menu help

My quick menu has disappeared from the today screen and in its place is a battery percentage icon. Since I have a battery indicator next to this i would like to put the quick menu back. Please help.
have you tried going and excuting the quick menu program from your program list? Once there you should be able adjust the options to your liking.
its not into programs. trying a hard reset
you shouldnt need to hard reset just to get quick menu back...have you tried:
a) clicking on the start icon and not the word start
b) re-installing the quick menu cab?
did hard reset putting back phone with sprite backup now. quick menu icon was on when phone first powered up. If it's gone now it means some program is removing it. Right?
if you cant find the quickmenu in the start icon, then you can just try looking for the quickmenu executable. i think it would most likely be in the \windows directory
Is there a reg edit to move the battery icon?
I want to move the battery icon to the left because it currently covers up the icon that shows new notifications in the title bar, making them unusable. Is there a reg edit to do this? Thanks in advance!
Found quick menu on start icon. changed battery to none and added Q to taskbar. But the quick menu icon that was on there before is now gone but I can use this method

Well if you did a restore with sprite backup then most likely, you just undid everything that made it reappear in the first place.

By quickmenu do you mean the quickmenu itself taking the place of the old start menu? If thats what you want you have to tell it to do so, under options, the very first page, select replace systems start menu (and register win key of device if you want the hardware start key mapped too)

I have no idea what you are talking about on this, with my quickmenu, the battery is shown the furthest to the right as possible (where the ok and X are normally shown). Are you saying that this is not how yours appears?

No mine appears next to the 3G icon
uncheck "show on all titlebar" for the battery option and then the battery will move to the far right
quickmenu
I went to quickmenu/options and selrcted replace start menu--------nothing happened. sorry now when i click start it lists everything but won open ie settings so I'm turning off replace start menu
Leon, everything that you are asking really is availible as an option under quickmenu itself (even displaying settings) my best advice for you is just to look under the options...almost all of the options (again in quickmenu) are self explainatory, so you should be able to get all of your questions answered within
quick menu start
All of this started when I lost the quick menu start icon thats all the way up in the right corner next to battery icon. It is 3 lines with a triangle on its bottom right.Now the last icon I have is the battery with an empty space next to it.

The three lines thing can be turned off by going to the windows mobile settings, task manager, and deselecting all of the options under it, and obviously the reverse if you want that part on (this is not quickmenu, this is htc's task manager app). The battery is from quickmenu which you can turn on or off under the quickmenu settings.
Went to Task mgr and quick menu is checked but it isnt back on the top of today screen!!!!

TouchFlo 3D - Am I missing something?

Hello everyone
Is there any way to scroll through the icons at the bottom of the home screen quickly, without having to flick through one at a time? It takes forever to get from Home to Weather or Settings because each time you scroll along one icon the main display changes.
I guesss basically I want scroll through the icons without each tab being displayed as you go.
Cheers for any help with this.
put your finger on the bottom menu and slide to the correct item.
look at a demo on coolsmartphone.com our youtube. it goes pretty fast
Aha, so I was missing something. Excellent, thanks very much!
Put your finger on the "Selector"/cube/active icon of the mode selector bar, then you'll notice that the screen will have an overlay of the currently selected mode, now you can slide your finger to the mode you want.

Enlarged StartMenu in Regards to Landscape Mode

Hi, let me first say that I did try searching for at least an hour for the answer to this question.
I am using the Enlarged StartMenu, which works quite nice in portrait mode.
Now I only use 5 menu items total, "Today","File Explorer","IE","Programs" and "Settings"
The problem is when I switch to landscape mode and open the startmenu, I lose the "Programs" and "Settings" menu options.
I have looked in the Settings > Menu options and could find these in the list to turn on.
Bottom line, I would like to keep the large start menu option in land scape but also have it show the "Programs" and "Settings" items.
Other Note: If I load up the start menu with other items and view it in landscape they show up, so the problem is NOT that their isn't enough space for the "Programs" and "Settings" menus
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Yeah, look at the top-right of the start menu when you're in landscape, the Programs and Settings folders move up there.

Thank you very much..
I feel quite dumb LOL..
I guess I thought that was apart of the "recently used icons"
But, you showed me what I needed and it works perfect thank you..
I appreciate it..
