Guest gpcarreon (MVP) Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Do you mean toggle from grid style to usual Start Menu view? Not actual WM5 screenshots (I don't have a Tornado with me) :| Installer: WM5.Grid.Toggle.CAB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest roma0803 Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 If you have an i-mate, go to the clubimate site and get the grid toggler from there. It's a free tool to change the view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gpcarreon (MVP) Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Hi gerryR. You have to decertify your unit first in order to install the cab file. Kindly check Newchurch's reply here (post #18): http://www.modaco.com/WM5_Tweaks_Wanted-t229542-s15.html I hope that helps. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rapier Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 I've got a C600 and the grid toggler doesn't seem to do a thing; once ran it says "Cab installed sucessfully" but it doesn't change anything. Any ideas? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It worked on my C600. After installing, I got a new folder in my StartMenu with two icons "grid off"/"grid on". If I press on any of them, it's sayin something like "Installing gridoff.cab" (or "gridon.cab"). After that the StartMenu is changing accordingly.

Guest xavierjohn22 Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Always kill the appman.exe with task manager for effect to take in place. The cab files are changing the registry. I use xbar to kill "start". Or you may use registry association instead using resco registry editor. These are the values it is changing from "0" to "1" 0=grid off 1=ON, so you can do a manual edit too. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shell\StartMenu] "GridView"=dword:00000001 By the way cingular 2125 also has another grid view found in this path [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSStart] "GridView"=dword:00000000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jporch316 Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 For c600 users (courtesy of Peter Foot website) "Locate the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shell\StartMenu Change the value "GridView" from 1 to 0. The change takes effect immediately when you next open the start menu. As with the large icons view the full 9 items are listed with the more option mapped to the left softkey. This always bugged me with SP2003 especially when a menu had 9 items with the 9th requiring a whole new page. You can change the value back to 1 for the new WM5 experience.

Guest flodis79 Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 What is the difference between this grid toggler and the ABSTRACT START application? http://homepages.inspire.net.nz/~gambit/AbstractStart/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hyedipin Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Seems like same, except your link gives 10 options with 0 for more, instead of above 9 for more.. I actually was looking for a way to resize the ICONS so i can have like 12 on the screen instead of 9.. Is there any ways to do that? Thanks.

Guest hyedipin Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 WHoa!!! Actually abstract does that! COOL.. It gives me 12 icons to choose from. this is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tooflyklu Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 sorry to bring up old topic? is there a way to rearrange the icons, when i press menu i only get two options, add speed dial and add voice tag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dcwebman Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 I actually was looking for a way to resize the ICONS so i can have like 12 on the screen instead of 9.. Is there any ways to do that? This may seem obvious to everyone except me, but I was excited when I figured it out. With the icons in the 9 grid pattern, you can simply click the corresponding number on the keypad with the same layout instead of having to move to that icon and click it. Not sure if it works with the 12 grid pattern or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it works with the 12 grid pattern or not. Yep, using abstract start and the "not magneto" layout the *, 0, # row corresponds with the bottom 3 icons. Which is why there is no menu option, just more and home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pete1909 Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 I've just installed AbstractStart thinking it would let me re-arrange the icons to any order I like but it doesn't or am I missing something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inside the list, you can set the no. of times u entered the pages. the most no. of times will be at the 1st page of start menu. also remember to off menu list updates.
