How To Change Today Scrollbar?

12-18-04, 02:15 PM

Does anyone know of a free program that will allow me to change the today scrollbar? With Pocket Plus, Pocket Breeze and PocketWeather on the today screen, I would like to find a scrollbar that is not as wide as the default. It takes up too much room. Thanks.

regking will allow you to made the scroll bar more narrow, it is what i use and works great. It makes it about half the size.

True - but it changes all scroll bars, not just the Today Screen. Using spreadsheets this makes them too narrow to use properly.

PocketTweak is another freeware option.

I don't know about Pocket Weather, but you adjust the height of Pocket Breeze. With a bit of tweaking you can get it to just fill the screen. And as long as everything fits the built-in scrollbar disappears. On my PPC the only thing that needs to scroll is Pocket Breeze, and that has its own scrollbar.

If you have so much stuff that you have to scroll
the whole screen then look at Dashboard.

(My Today screen consists of Weather Panel in medium-size mode; SPB Pocket Plus with four tabs and small icons stacked two high; and Pocket Breeze with the font size cranked down)

How do you adjust the height of pocket breeze? Do you adjust the font size?

*edit* never mind, figured it out. thanks

Thanks, everyone. I adjusted the hight of Pocket Breeze to eliminate the scroll bar. I currently have 3 rows of Pocket Plus icons, so I thought the larger PB space wouldn't make it seem so crowded, but I think I'll go back to using tabs on Pocket Plus.
It's such a difficult decision how to layout these today screens!
