Spb PocketPlus 3 tricks for True Vga mode

I have seen some people having trouble with Spb Pocket Plus 3 and true VGA mode ( ie these two thread : http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread.php?t=93595 and http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread.php?t=91900 )

So here are the tricks that you should do to optimize your SPB+3 in true VGA mode.

1/ battery, brightness,memory cards and main memory icons issue:

In true vga mode the default icons used are QVGA, so just delete all the pls*.gif under default, duplicate the vga*.gif icons and rename it pls*.gif. ;)

2/ Ozvga settings issue:
In SPB+3, today icons settings are not in registry anymore but default they are in plustodayitems.dat under \Windows.
So if you want to handle the two differents VGA configuration you need two different .dat file.

I have done the following:
a - created two .dat files under \My Documents based on plustodayitems.dat, I named those files STDplustodayitems.dat and REALplustodayitems.dat
b - modified the two keys in registry:

For Standard SE
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\Spb Software House\Pocket Plus]
"Default"="\My Documents\STDplustodayitems.dat"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\Spb Software House\Pocket Plus 2]
"todayitems"="\My Documents\STDplustodayitems.dat"

(instead of "Default"="\Windows\plustodayitems.dat" and "todayitems"="\Windows\plustodayitems.dat")

and for True VGA mode
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\Spb Software House\Pocket Plus]
"Default"="\My Documents\REALplustodayitems.dat"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\Spb Software House\Pocket Plus 2]
"todayitems"="\My Documents\REALplustodayitems.dat"

(instead of "Default"="\Windows\plustodayitems.dat" and "todayitems"="\Windows\plustodayitems.dat")

c - then you should use this setting HKLM\SOFTWARE\Spb Software House for OzVGA, It should works for ozVGA (I didn't check as I don't use ozVGA anymore). It works for me but I am using my own custom scripts to switch VGA mode. (like I mentioned here: http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread.php?t=70663)
