Hi,

I am new to this forum. Does anyone know how to remove the date and time from the desktop screen. I also want to be able to rearrange the order from the desktop. How can I accomplish this ?

Welcome. There's good people here with lots of good info; much of it has been discussed and the answers may be only a few choice Search words away. :D

-Trying "rearrange start menu" will lead you to a few threads that will help you manipulate the icons in your Start Menu. If you want to change what you see on your Homescreen (main screen), there are programs out there that can help you modify what you see, and/or, the "XML Code" each Homescreen uses can often be edited/modified to change the view.

-And, your date/time question is a little unique... Assuming you're using the BJ's "stock" Homescreen(s), the date and time may be removed by editing the Carrier Plugin in the XML Code for the particular Homescreen that you are using.

HI,

thanks for quick reply. What can I use to edit the xml code and Can I get some help from this forum. I have no need for the date and time as it take up too much space from the desktop screen.

If you know how to edit the XML, it's as simple as opening the XML file in a text editor such as Notepad.

I transfer a copy of the Homescreen I wish to modify to my PC, open with Notepad, edit as necessary, save as "FILENAME"2.home.xml or whatever (dropping the .TXT, and not overwriting the original; but when you look to apply this screen, it will still be called the original name in the list), transfer the file back to device, change to a different Homescreen, then reapply the "new" Screen.

Are you using a standard BlackjackII Homescreen? If so, which?
