Hi All,
Has anyone successfully changed the layout of the e-mail tab in TF3D? I find the little envelope that shows you 2 1/2 lines of the top message to be just about useless. I'd really rather have just a list of messages come up.
What do you think? Is this possible?
Mode9 Editor
It is possible, and not all that hard to make some changes that will render the email previews much more useful. Search the forums for "Mode9 editor" and you'll find the most excellent work done by 6Fg8. Use this to make the envelope graphics transparent and you'll get much more readable area in the message previews.
I am trying to figure out how to un-tilt the message viewing area (i.e. make it flat like the way messages are shown in the "Messages" tab) but have not had much success yet. If I can ever manage to get this going, will post.
Thanks for the info. The Mode9 changes are an improvement, but the problem is that this whole idea is flawed. It only shows one message at a time. I lots of times get 3-5 e-mails before I bother to look at them (that's what happens when you're up to 300/day!).
We should really work on a solution that is more like an apreviated/improved inbox. I'm just not sure where to get started on such a thing.
Try the BBExtreme3 skin. Takes the envolope off and up and down motions scroll through what emails you have.

At minimum, 5 fiddly clicks from the Today screen to editing a new SMS.
Anyone know a good short-cut?
Please ignore me...

thanks!
this already have an open thread with 2 cabs in it I perfer the cab I posted but anyway try searching first next time buddy!
You may want to check out PocketCM. I love the interface and the Threaded SMS view. Very simple and clean.
You simply click contacts, click the contact and then click SMS. there you will see all sms conversations (which you can scroll) your messages are a different color then the contacts and a text input area at the bottom where you just start typing and click send.
I know this isn't what you were talking about but i have gotten very use to this and found it much faster after using it for a couple of months.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
As I mentioned in one of the other threads, what I do is start with the contact... from the Today screen, click contacts, select your contact whichever way you like to do, then select "send text message". You're now at the point of editing a new text message. Since all the steps you did to select a contact you would have had to do anyway, those clicks were all "free". This is actually much shorter than if you had the "new" command that people are clamoring for.
In Pocket Outlook when going through the menu to create a new text message the default is actually multimedia message and I have to click down once in the sub-menu to reach text. It's quite annoying since text messages are probably much more common than multimedia ones. Is there anyway to change the order via registry?
exactly. i also found it very annoying. any clue?
Same here. Will it be possible to setup somewhere so that I can start a new sms without even going into the inbox?
Anyone ever figure this one out? A registry hack somewhere perhaps?
instead of scrolling through my messages under the SMS TAB I was wondering if its possible to scroll through my contacts that im having conversations with and tap on them and see the conversation instead of scrolling through each message seperatly
thanks
Would be interested in such a mod myself. Got no experience in modding Manilla though..
this would be ideal and im quite surprised its not on tf3d already, maybe they will do it or we can get a modder to try this
id be interested in this as well... i dont like the fact that th actual message is displayed... anyway to get that off other than disabling the tab itself
would like this as well
and is there a way to have your inbox show the last recieved first instead of latest sent?
any TF3D modders consider this? I would be willing to donate to it as it bothers me and in my view would make TF3D almost perfect
From the TouchFlo interface when you look at email you can normally see if its an email you want or need to read and you do not have to actually read it. so is there a hack, tweak or setting that will make the indicator or the counter to disappear if you look at it in Touchflo without having to actually open it? Normally I will got thru my emails in Touchflo without ever needing to actually open the mail program.
Would like to know this as well. Same behaviour as with the SMS screen.
Are we the only ones that think this is a problem!
Seriuosly...I'm having the same problem. I tried to use all the configuration programs available but it seems no one has made modification for that feature...
I got tired of seeing "RE:" all the time instead actually seeing the message like SMS so I removed the mail tab from FLO.
I have had this issue on all WM 6.5 ROMS I have tried. Sometimes my office apointments synced to my Fuze are longer than a few words. When that occurs, I can not see all the appointment text in Agenda view or Day view. Clicking on the appointment to get the view screen does not help because it only shows 2 lines, and there is no scrolling to show more. So I still can not see all the text. The only solution I found is to hit Menu, then Edit, and scroll right to read all the info (like topic of meeting, meeting attendees, phone numbers, etc.). Not a very elegant solution. I have searched xda for a solution without finding a fix. Also called AT&T, who hooked me up with MS: "You are putting too much info in the appointment-just use a few words and abbreviate." Not a viable solution, since I do not generate many of my Calendar entries.
Anyone have a way to show more than 2 lines in Appointment view, or other fix? Thanks.
