Hello All,

I have had my XDA Orbit now since Wednesday, and I am really impressed, it is much much better than my MDA Compact II and the WIFI and GPS just add that WOW factor!

My question is that on my MDA the date on the today screen displays the day and I have looked in all the settings and I don't know how to get it on the XDA Orbit!

Thanks

MASTERCHILLEN! :)

think the day thing was added on aku2, that made the time plugin 2 lines, everyone complained so it was dropped and put back to 1 line in all versions after. if the feature hasnt been removed altogether, theres possibly a reg setting to bring it back but i cant seem to find one.

Here's the info:

From the wiki (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WM5_Tweaks_Other). (This is WM5 specific, NOT device specific.)

Change the display of the clock in the taskbar


The clock in the taskbar can be changed to show not only the time, but also the date, or just the date, or nothing at all.
To show nothing:


HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 0 (DWORD decimal)

To show just the clock:


HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 1 (DWORD decimal)

To show just the date:


HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 2 (DWORD decimal)

To show both the date and the clock:


HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 3 (DWORD decimal)

Note 1: If you switch to the Analog clock display, the date will remain visible -through- the Analog clock
Note 2: Setting the clock to show 'nothing' will still keep the reserved space, showing the taskbar background, and obscure any icons that will shift to the right.
Note 3: Your date may get obscured by the space reserved for the OK/Close button in the top-right. You can fix this my adding spaces at the end of your 'Short Date Format'. See also the tweak on 'Change the Short Date Format'

I have my short date format set to "ddd M/d " (that's 2 trailing spaces for proper spacing) without quotes. It reads "Sat 12/2"
NOTE: Any references to month in date formatting need to be capitalized, or they won't display correctly.

-Enjoy!
