Not sure if this is the best place for this question but here goes anyway..
Is there a way to change the SMS input window size? Im running a custom ROM and the size is about 2x what im used to and its bugging me.. im used to having 2 lines of displaied txt and this has 4.. im sure its a setting, reg entry somewhere but i havn't found it yet..
TIA
Using Total Commander, Go into the ‘Windows’ directory and find the line ‘thread_sms.htm’ and go to ‘edit’ then find the line towards the bottom <inbox:content id=COMPOSESUBJECT width =”98%” height = 35. Urs might have something other than 35 in the height, since it is a cooked rom. Simply reduce the # in the height to 35, which i think is the default 2 line text msg window, and hit save. that should get you fixed up.

Just an addition to vsnipper, Im doing it at 70 instead of 35. gives you a lot of space.

Everytime I open up the thread, I have to scroll up to see the screen as per attached. Please advice how I can tweak.
Can just..(squint) make it out from your picture...
This only happens on mine in landscape when I open an SMS (1 liner) on my TyTnII. The screen is offset and I have to scroll to the top.
I think its a MS Windows Mobile (feature!!) bug when you have a contact image saved and when it is displayed in the header, screws up the display. It is very annoying.
Any answers out there?
i had the same problem!!
and the solution for me was to hard reset
Go to the REgistry and do the following change:
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Internet Explorer/Navigation/4-Way Nav and change the "0" to "1".
That will fix it.Mine did...

The Top 'Sent' date/time line is still missing on mine but its an improvement! Cheers!
The font in the threaded sms in HTC DIamond is ridiculously huge. Not the font of my own typing, but the font of the sms i'm replying to. How do i make the font smaller?
When i had a tytn2, going to start > settings > system > screen > and adjusting font size here solved the problem. Doesnt seem to work for Diamond. Or am i missing something here?
At the threaded sms screen....put your finger on the circle button's circumference and move it clockwise..or CCW for smaller font..
owh....****. *embarassed*. Sorry my bad. thanks! (no wonder i felt that when i first bought diamond i felt the font was smaller, must have enlarged it accidentally)
Hi,
I have the same issue and tried the method you recommend, but it doesn't change anything. However I found out a registry key that does perfectly the job: go to HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\Zoom and enter a DWORD value that ranges from 1 (smallest font size) to 4 (largest font size - default).
thanks thats been driving me nuts...
I am glad that I did search~~ cause I was going to change do it with regedit too~~
Sorry to resurrect this.....
Is there a way to change the size of the actual text input box for sms / outlook?
With medium text size, when I'm replying to an sms I can see roughly two lines of text in the reply box. Is there a way of making the box bigger so i can see three or four lines of text in the reply box at a medium text size setting?
ALSO It seems you can only decrease the font size of the input text in the system settings, unlike using the d pad to change the font size of the message thread.
You sure can change the area in threaded sms to see a little more of what you typing.
The file thread_sms.htm (found in /windows or in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467966&highlight=thread_sms.htm ) is the key.
If you open the file linked with forinstance notepad you see in line 21 the keyword height=35.
35 is the default value, change that to 70 to double the height of your writing area.
save the file and overwrite the thread_sms.htm in /windows directory on the phone by using total commander or the like.
Kindly
Kwasmir
Thanks, man that small area was BUGGING me!!!!
Cheers!

Dose it actually work fine on the X1? i was reading through the site and it mentioned about battery drain. Has anyone tried this?
Does anyone know of a way to do this without the use of third party software? A registry hack would the ideal solution
registry change for date and time on taskbar
For registry change go to:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell
Make a DWord key here named TBOpt
give the key a value:
0 for NO date AND Time
1 for ONLY Time
2 for ONLY Date
3 for BOTH Date AND Time
To change Date format go to:
HKLM\nls\override
under SSDte change date format to how you would like to see it
d=1
dd=01
ddd=mon
dddd=Monday
M=1
MM=01
MMM=Nov
MMMM=November
yy=08
yyyy=2008
you can basically use any combination I use for example ddd dd MMM and included an extra space there,
so that the last character doesn't get hidden by the ok button.
Hope this helps,
Mark.
For some reason I can't change the registry on my X1.
Got the app MobileRegistryEditor but when changing or adding a value it prompts me that the access is denied..
Any way to bypass this?

Thank you for this post, but this gets rid of the battery status and replaces it with the clock and time or if you leave the battery symbol there, then the date and time jus overlaps the with the battery bar. Is there something else we can do to show clock, date and battery?
I always use batti for that, I get a small 2px bar on top of the screen with the % of battery remaining.
works well in the xperia
I use spb pocket plus,it's really great
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)

I am going to try the app you suggested and will report back...
Many thanks
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
I think the font while typing SMS is to large, can i reduce it somehow? I allready added another line but getting the font smaller would be helpful too.
I tried to set the fontsize from 8 down to 5 points in the thread_style.css but it didnt work. (of course i rebooted)
Any ideas what i'm missing?
Can't answer your question, but i'm hoping you can answer mine =)
How did you add another line for SMS?
You can adjust that in the thread_sms.htm in the windows folder. In that html you find "hight=35" wich is the hight of the SMS typing field in pixels. A line with the standard fontsize is approximately 17 pixels. So 52 would be 3 lines.
Thank you, but nothing changed when i did that..?
I saved the file, rebooted, didn't see any change, checked the file, it still said 52, so why no change for me?
Worked for me..i just added another line and have 4 now even without a reboot. Are you using the threaded SMS view?
OK
Ya, i've got threaded... stock R3A ROM.
(sorry for hi-jacking your thread ;P )
Maybe our problems are related, for me a change in the thread_style.css has no effect and for you the change in the thread_sms.htm doenst work.
I have no idea why though.
Im using R2A.
I found another thing: If you replace
<Inbox:content id="COMPOSESUBJECT" width="100%" height=40 spell focus count links noclearonbackpresshold limit=0 autocap inserttab scroll />
with
<Inbox:content id="COMPOSESUBJECT" width="100%" height=40 spell focus count links noclearonbackpresshold limit=0 autocap inserttab dynamicresize />
It just does that...it adjust itself to the amount of text you type.
