Display of names in Contacts - MDA, XDA, 1010 General

Hi,
The default behaviour of Contacts is to display the entries with
Code:
<Lastname>, <Firstname>
.
I prefer
Code:
<Firstname> <Lastname>
.
Is there an option or registry setting to change the default display mode?
Grtz,
Raymond

I had the same problem, you have to change your settings in outlook. then the xda just follows suit.
When adding a new contact I have to use outlook then sync it, or the xda does the last, first name thing again.

Outlook setting: Automatic profile switching

Hi Zendrui,
would it be possible in the outlook settings to change the condition
"When category is" <selected category>
to
"When category contains" <selected category> ?
Reason: in my outlook appointments I use several categories at the same time (list of categories seperated by ";"). Therefore the automatic mode switching does not work for me.
Thanks in advance

P.S. : attached to this post I added my PZP icon set. Perhaps it is interesting for other users

HTC home screen sliding panel improvements

Hello.
I like the HTC home screen sliding panel, but some things I am missing and some things I dont need on it in the standard configuration which is delivered with the Rose.
I was missing:
- graphical notification of all sms, mms, missed calls, voice mails and emails like in the normal windows panel and working with these events from this row
I didnt need:
- sms/mms and email notification in separate rows (wasting of place)
- favourite homepages
- music player
All you need to do it, is to change one row in the HTCSlidingPanel.home.xml located in the folder AplicationData/Home/:
<Plugins Order="CClock;CHome;CWindowsLive;CAppointments;HTCWeather;Settings" CPRFileName="HTCSlidingPanel" SMSMMSOverride="false" EmailOverride="false" >
You wil find this row easy.
Beside this I removed the "background picture changing option" and the "ringing tones changing option" from the Setting row of the HTC home panel. I really dont need it so much, not necessary to be on the home screen.
You can do this by changing the registry in:
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/CHome/Settings/
Registry field called: Pages - simply delete the names of the pages you dont want to have in the Setting row on the homescreen (in my case the backgroud picture and ringing tones), it is very easy.
Hope this will help.
search icon ???
Dear members !
Does anybody know how to put search icon to desktop ? Like HTC-diamond or touch-pro has it ! One guy sad that edition for smartphone doesn't have it, but sorry, I am not happy with that answer?! If I demonstrate for example: I search aplication to search surname "Novak" client through outlook calendar and contacts and notes....and all other aplications which phone has! It would mean a lot to me!
Best regards, Dejan U.

a "simple" question about unread email

Hi,
I started recently making my own themes as i found there isn't enough themes in my taste on themer/mycolorscreen application/launcher.
I have on question though. how do i change the text for unread email? It is connected to my gmail, ut even checking another box in the mail options i have no luck so far. So help me get an answer please. I watched all videos but i might have missed it somehow. (see screenshot for explaination (and yes i made it all red because I am not ready to share my work with the world just yet))
Love this launcher!
greetings mcwurth
Changing unread email count from gmail to other email
As far as I'm aware, this CAN'T BE DONE! It's a limitation of Android, not Themer. Android links itself to your gmail account, and it will only report unread emails in that account, not any other. The two ways around this are:
(a) forward all your non-gmail messages to your gmail account by adding your hotmail/yahoo/whatever account to gmail (you can do this within gmail on your phone, or from your PC). This is the 'elegant' solution but it does mean that ALL your emails will be a the mercy of Google
or
(b) as you're building your own theme, just find the simplest widget you can for yahoo/hotmail/whoever, put the widget on your homescreen and use some clever masking (such as allow overlapping widgets??) to display only the numeric character. Not sure how you'd go about changing the font size.
You might want to look at Tesla Unread which displays unread emails on little badge icons, or browse xda's main Android forums for info on email count widgets.
BTW, I'm no expert so please don't ask me anything technical - I've just researched this problem before and I remember some of the replies I got from clever people.

Not exactly what i mean. this must be a limitation by themer as the word personal comes directly when i add "missed email". it simply says personal. even when changing the inbox/outbox/whateverbox of my gmail to anything else then the personal one it will not change the text and i can not change it elsewhere. i feel this is a themer issue and not from gmail as i can recall that with other themes it says email/ missed email

Hi mcwurth,
That's Themer Everything Widget right? When you add the Email item, it shows Personal by default. To remove it:
1. Select the Unread Email item (that one you added).
2. Tap the "Unread E-mails Style" option at the bottom - Select Unread E-mail Settings.
3. Scroll to the bottom - Deselect Show Label.
Alternatively you can use Themer Zooper Widget, which allows for much more flexibility. Hope this helps!
