Full-screen tweak for Esmertec JBed Midlet Manager

[jfeldredge]

Is there a registry tweak, binary-file edit, or whatever to make the Esmertec JBed Midlet Manager use the full height of the screen? On my phone, a Verizon SMT5800, Esmertec JBed uses the full width of the screen, but only about 90% of the full height. So, a little of whatever is behind shows at the bottom. If I slide out the keyboard so that the screen goes into landscape mode, the unfilled space is at the "new bottom" of the screen, i.e., just above the keyboard. One of the consequences of this is that, if you display a menu, the bottom-most menu item is not visible. I suspect that this is because the program is trying to allow room for a taskbar at the bottom. However, a non-touchscreen device such as my phone doesn't have a taskbar, and the API call that displays menus apparently assumes that the calling application is running full-screen, resulting in the bottom menu item not being visible.

What version are you using and do you have same issue with the applications you use??

Esmertec JBed Build ID 20070802.2.1, according to the About screen. I just noticed another oddity: the About command (menu item 7) won't respond to clicking 7. I have to move down, using the D-Pad, and click directly on the About menu item. The other menu items respond to my clicking on the corresponding number.

See 'Manager" at bottom and Time etc at top.

I am trying to find the version I used to use that did not have this problem.

Maybe we can compare registry settings between these versions for somethings to try

(if it did not involve guess work it would not be called Hacking!)
