SMS info display problem

[mynamesteve]

Hi xda!

I’m just getting into the HTC modding scene really must say thank you all for the great forum, you’ve been a big help to me in times of desperation.
Hopefully when I’ve learnt a little more I can contribute to your community. :D

I have a little problem and tried searching the forum but no luck :(

The date display in my messages in portrait mode obscures the contact name, is there any way to reduce the day format to say.. 3 letters? ie. mon not monday etc. to correct this? I have attached a screenshot so you can see what the hell I’m on about lol.

Thanks in advance and keep up the hard work!

I think this may have something to do with your "Short Date Format"... It sounds like it includes the day of the week. My Tilt only shows mm/dd/yy (or the time if the message was received today).

A quick look in Settings -> System -> Regional Settings -> Date tab seems to indicate that this would have to have been set in the registry, as I don't think it is possible to set it to show the day of the week in this screen. This would mean it's likely hardcoded in the registry.

If this is gibberish to you, let me know... lol
