Hello everybody.
I'm trying out Remote Desktop into my Fuze at 256 colors, full screen.
Icons with their letters and everything looks just perfect, but at the "START" button, letters seems little diffused and cutted, same happens in certain TAB Indexes (but after u hit the TAB, options appears normally down).
Wonder if there is any fix for this issue. Im attaching a sample picture.
PD: tried system size fonts, but has nothing to do with this issue.
Thanks in advance.

i use rdp and it works great i don't have the problem you are having so i would try to make sure it has nothing to do with the font (i know you said you checked but i would check again or try something different). also try it in 16bit color not 256
16bit colors did the job
thanks mate.

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

"Shut Down" works exatly like "Turn Off", so it didnt shut down the device.

actually it does background program will be shut off if u install S2U2 u will know the difference
Could you change the words "Off Screen" to "Display Off" and "Shut Down" to "Turn Off".. It should make more sense that way..
Nice work - won't need to be pressing that annoying Power Button as much..
1 Suggestion: Recolour the 'Cancel' button to be Red. Seems like a more logical approach, although I do understand that you're trying to keep the colour scheme of the Diamond's TF3D.. however I did see a red 'End Call' button in the phone app's skin. Just a suggestion.
great work, but it's too much black for my opinion
How is it too black? It's basically going by the same colour and design scheme of TF3D.
nice~ THANK VERY MUCH
Very nice job n works great!! Got no problem with colours which are same like Manila - looks nice
Thx for your work man

I agree with you.
It's difficult to difference this Shut Down screen from the bottom one... if you launch it from TF3D/programs.
Here it's my proposal... with a lot of "red color"...
Hahahaa......I created this since 18/6 but now only got input from the user anyway thanks for that, i will update the skin by following some of the suggestion here.
Nice job Pha.
I'm waiting for my new Diamond. As soon as possible, their colours will be changed.
Thx.
(See you at pcdemano)

I didn't got it.
So, which difference between "Shut Down" and "Turn Off"?
Turn Off ok, it mean the screen switchs off (there isn't a hardware button option on Diamond right?)
"Shut down" should make off the PDA like if u keep press the POWER button imho, but not in this application.

very nice!!! can you made me a skin with a cancel icon green ( like "original" )
shut down red, off screen white, and soft reset light blu?
with background theme black, and a "frame" background theme and icons white?
Updated 1st post, i mod the skin base on some of the suggestion from the user but will not add too much colour to the skin as this will not match the diomond skin.
Maybe some like this...
It's very great for me! Thanks!
big thx i will try it
Hey guys,
Off topic.... My desktop icons have a black bakground (see jpeg enclosed) and no matter what i do i can not repair them. They work correctly but look crap
Steps tried so far: (mostly gotton from google.....)
1 used tweakui to attempt repair.
2 adjusted colour depth from 32 to 16 and back again.
3 deleted icon cache, restarted to force rebuild of file.
4 several reg fixs none of which worked.
5 tried several wallpapers/themes and tried tweakin many settings.
None of the above worked and im tired now, so im hoping you guys have some suggestions
Many thanks.
Easy....
Open System Properties in Control Panel, choose the Advanced tab, and click Settings in the Performance section. Turn on the Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop option, and click Ok.
Job done

I know this can be done, but i would like to see the icons & text sitting on top of my wallpaper, not with a background colour, but thanks for the reply
Any other suggestions guys?
Found in the web - at least worth a try:
If you have tried everything already mentioned and still cannot get your icons to have transparent you may want to try this. Change following reg keys to a value of 0 User Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ Explorer] System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ Explorer] Value Name: ForceActiveDesktopOn Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value) Value Data: (0 = default, 1 = enabled) This is what did it for me. Something, I don’t know what was changing this value to 1 on my system. Once I set this to 0 I had my drop shadows back.

In addition, give TuneUp 2008 a try, it can fix a lot of REGISTRY and SYSTEM problems. The Trial Version is fully functional for 15 days.

Thanks for the advice Junner2003.
The first reg setting you suggested was at 0 already. The second one simply did not exist
Value Name: ForceActiveDesktopOn Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value) Value Data: (0 = default, 1 = enabled)

Solution
Ok guys,
I managed to find the solution. Tune up 2009 app didnt solve it although it did make my destop looking like vista (black bars and cool icons)
The problem was in "display properties/desktop/customise desktop/web". I did have at one time active web content on my desktop which i had turned off many moons ago. Along with the two web page addresses (which were inactive) i had a file "file:///C:\DOCUME~1\TIM&SA~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\msohtml1\01\clip_image002.jpg" which was active? what this is and where it came from i dont know, but de selecting it did the trick and my desktop is now back to normal.
Many thanks for all your ideas and help chaps, long live XDA
Hi,
I've searched and found the way of changing fonts in the pop-up menu of my HTC Diamond.
However, the selections fonts (the similar to V shapes and the arrows for navigation in the pop up menu) are still in big size... does anyone know how to edit their size as well?
Thanks a lot!
Anyone pls?
Unfortunatelly I have the same problem. I want to have a perfectly clean WM 6.1 system, fully stylus-operated. I have already disabled all the "garbage" like TochFlo etc., I have decreased the pop-up menu font size (using Schap's Adv Config Tool, but that can be easily done with many other progs like SK-Tools etc.) but I still cannot do anything about those stupid large "arrows" and "V-signs" (like in the checkbox list). They remain the same big size, as it was before decreasing the pop-up menu font.
Really nobody knows how to decrease their size as well???
Just a quick suggestion, go to settings, system and screen. Then go to text size, change it down by one nouch. See if that helps
Unfortunatelly no - the popup menu font remains the same (but that I know how to controll over SK-Tools) and also the arrows/v-signs remain the same - very large that is
advanced config will let you change the size of the font in the popup window
This is what you're looking for:
HKLM\System\GWE\"WidgeSz"=0.
Drove me crazy for days too until someone pointed me in the right direction.

I have windows.7 installed and I get a blue screen it I click the Resolution button on the Right. Am I missing a driver?

I'm assuming you're still using aero theme, this will cause BSOD. Try changing your theme to 'classic' and the resolution button should work fine. Unfortunately, there is no fix to use all the other themes with the resolution button (unless I'm wrong). =(
Perfect! Thanks. white I am thinking about it. Is there a download for all Shift/Windows7 drivers and utilities? Sometimes I get an error about my missing "network adapter." and also the finger print reader is a little quirky.

I'm thinking about it a lot.. I guess the best thing is to set the "resolution.exe" to compatibility mode (i.e. : without composition) but not starting it when windows starts.. and then when you want to use the button you just need to launch the resolution.exe ... which will stop aero... and you can use the button to switch the resolution.... and when you have finish... you just need to end the process.. and it goes back to aero
but I'm in sweden without my shift .. I can't test right now... that's an idea.. before having an application to better manage that
