change calender and contacts button

transmitable · 10-08-06, 01:37 PM

I have the X51v and I was wondering if you can change the Calendar and Contacts buttons at the bottom of the screen to something else. I looked around but couldn't find anything. Is this possible and if so how? Thanks a lot!

use the button applet in settings to remap buttons :)

all sorry, didn't realise it was the soft keys...

Try tweaks2k, that should do it.

the new iLauncher offers some options for changing the softkeys, too, I think.

Softkeys are in WM5. If your PDA is not WM5 you do not have them. iLauncher V3 does let you set them.

Get a registry editor.
Got to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\
and create 2 new keys:
112
113
Inside each key there is a (Default) value. Change that to what text you'd like on the button (112 is the left one. 113 the right).
Create the string value "Open" (no quotes) with the path to the executable or document in BOTH keys (112 and 113).

I found a free program that changes the Softkeys semi-automatically.
You've got to have Compact Framework installed:
TodayScreenSoftkeys.

thats for the help.
I found the iLauncher settings and changed it.
Now to find a way to get rid of that ".exe" part...
