I went to Settings/Manage Applications/Remove Programs and removed several listed items, which I thought just related to unused colour schemes, in order to free up some storage memory. However, I now find that two unintended changes have resulted.
1. The main one is that I seem to have lost the enlarged scroll button that previously appeared when I tapped the right-hand side of long windows. All I have now is the default grey slider bar.
2. The other, less important, is that after the screen display times out and I press a button to restore the display with the 'slide padlock', the background has changed from the original Sense colours to a plain 'gradient blue' background. This is not inconveniencing me at all, but it would be nice to restore the original background.
TIA.
i think both problems, especially the FIRST one, can be fixed by simply going to Windows Mobile Settings->Home and choosing a different theme...click OK...and then repeat the same steps and NOW choose the stock HTC theme (don't know what its called! sorry!).
after all of the above, set a wallpaper from Windows Mobile Settings->Home, check the box at the bottom that says "Use this picture as the background" and select a file. after this step, set a home screen and lock screen wallpaper from Sense. if you use CHT (cookie's home tab), you will get even more options and control over your wallpaper.

Many thanks for your reply. Your advice got me on the right track to resolve both problems.
I went to Settings->Menu->All Settings->Today and changed the theme, then repeated the sequence and changed it back to 'HTC Black'. I then chose the 'Items' tab and changed the checkbox from 'HTC Sense' to 'Windows Default' (ignoring a warning not to move away from Sense). Then I repeated the sequence and changed the 'Items' checkbox back to 'HTC Sense'. This seems to have restored both the Sense wallpaper and the enlarged scroll button.
Thanks again.

I have 6.5 and am using the traditional today screen. I have Spb Pocket Plus for my home screen as my launcher.
Is there any way to add the Lock option that is normally found after you press start in the lower left hand side? I can add any file or program to the launcher, so I just need to know what the name of the lock file is. I'd also like a shortcut to Settings so if you know that name, that'd be great too. I have found running the traditional today screen gives me about 50 free mb's as opposed to barely 10 with TF3d.
heres a cab i made that will use the 6.5 lock and set the LSK for Lock...turn titanium off, install, turn back on...good to go...cant figure out the settings part...im not able to get it to work...hope this helps!!
Alright Im switching over from TF3d to Chrome/Chome (seen it called both?) and Im a bit confused.
Under today settings it allows me to change its layout, if I select windows default it uses a TF3D type vertical scroll on the screen but if I customize it then it removes the scroll feature and just lists the items on the home screen (no scroll).
I like the no scroll look, but my issue is that I cannot add anything else outside the few items that Im allowed to select in the menu. How can I add other things, like internet and windows messenger and other programs?
You're confusing CHome (windows default in 6.5) with the Today screen and its plugins. You get to pick one or the other. Personally, I use them both, from time to time, and I hope that finger-scrolling gets incorporated into Today.
Get CHome Editor to create new panels and to reorganize CHome.
I use the Sense UI "Weather" on my HTC HD2 (Leo; T-Mob USA) all the time for riding. I recently started using the Windows default Today screen, but the weather is incorrect. I've updated it, tried downloading on Quick GPS, etc. The weather is always wrong. If I switch back to the Sense Today Screen, the weather is correct. If I update the Sense weather, it is still correct. If I switch back to the Windows Default Today Screen, the weather is incorrect. I update Windows weather and it is still incorrect. In other words, if I use Sense, the weather works, and if I change back to WM UI the weather shows some place else... don't know where. I think it's a location issue?
1. Is there a way to set or change location for the Windows Default weather application? If I tap it, it just updates.
2. Does Sense use a different weather application?
3. Has anybody else had this issue?
Any help would be appreciated. I use the weather app all the time throughout the year, and would like to try using the Windows default screen for a change.
OK, for other people that are in the dark ages and still using WM 6.5.x like me, I figured this out. I was using "Home Screen Customizer" to change a few things around on my Today screen. When you tap the weather on the Today screen it just updates. I had to open "Home Screen Customizer", go to "weather", choose "Edit", and type in my location. Don't forget to hit "Search" after you type in your location, and go through the selection procedure for "Home Screen Customizer" before you save and exit. In other words, don't just exit without checking the softkeys at the bottom of the screen to make sure you've selected the city.
I installed several applications (Viber, Skype etc.) and their icons (or these applications) were placed on "second" screen. I tried several ways and was unable to move any icon / application to my home screen. The phone displays "can't move" and the icon is automatically returned to "second" screen. It seems the home screen layout is somehow locked but I there is not any "home screen" menu in settings to unlock it. My MIUI version is MIUI Global 8.1 Stable 8.1.4.0 (MHOMIDI), Android is 6.0.1 MMB29M. Can somebody please advise whether it is, in general, possible to move icons / applications to the home screen and, if so, how to do that.
I didn't try but I think you should made different folder and place them in the folder ?

Thanks onukomer. While trying various options I got a message "no more room on this home screen". So, I removed two default applications from the home screen and was then able to move two my applications from the second to the home screen. However I was able to move only such applications which have "add shortcuts to home screen" in their settings, for instance WhatsApp. But Viber does not have "add shortcuts to home screen" YES / NO in its permissions menu. Why Viber and several other of my applications do not allow switch that "shortcuts to home screen" permission ON / OFF? They even do not have that in their settings... Why? Any ideas?
Friend, i think that's apps not have any other shortcut like whatsapps "whatsapp video shortcut" all is mine thinking. Did you try to use a different launcher? Or do you use any weather or clock widget? That's occupies too much area of the home screen
Yes, you are absolutely right - my problem was that there was no enough space on my home screen, most probably due to the clock. Once I started to free up the space by removing unnecessary icons I was able to move icons from my second to the home screen without any problems. Thank you very much for your assistance
Multi windows options not showing on PIE (S9+). After tapping the spacer icon the options are not showing (see screenshots). Any suggestions?
The multi windows options are explained here: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00079048/
Yes I notice it. U have to do it the other way... Not sure why they remove it
They changed it a bit..
When your in recent apps there is a symbol that appears at the top of the app. Pressing that will show a menu, one of the options is "open in split screen view".
This is how you now access the feature. I attached a screen shot of the settings app showing the respective symbol. Yellow arrow points to the symbol you want to press (symbol will vary pending on the app).

Thanks for this. I was slightly confused at first, it might be easier for people to understand to say that the app's icon appears at the top of the app in the recents screen, and tapping that icon gives you the options for the app, like split screen, pop-up view etc ?
I want to creat a 'icon pair on the home screen' that option is missing from the new menu. Thats my real question. Sorry about asking it in two steps
You can creat an icon pair in the edge screen but it will not appear on the home screen. Any ideas?

I tried it and I couldn't get it to work either, though I haven't used the feature before so I never created an app pair on my home screen. It maybe something they changed and now is (or with one UI maybe only ever was) available from the edge panel.
Update - Checking the users manual (for our phone with Android Pie) indicates the only way to natively create an app pair now is via the Edge Panel.

There is an apk called split-screen creator in the play store that allows you to create shortcuts that can be placed on the home screen.
