Default [29th July] Stock MDA had 4 columns of icons! See attachment

Hi Guys,

I searched high and low for an answer to this, so forgive me is there is an answer or is in a previous thread, but:-

I have only 3 columns of larger Icons in both settings and programs, whereas under the T-Mobile MDA Stock rom, there were 4 extremely crisp and sharp columns of icons. Still useable with the finger and easily selected without the need to use the pen.

I've tried Elite 3.0 and SwiftBL 3.0 & 3.2

If there is a setting I am missing, please bear in mind I'm new to WM after years of Symbian.

See attached picture from a friends uncooked MDA Compact IV

I've got a customer/Friend who's had 3 T-Mobile MDA's delivered yesterday and he's bringing round later for me to install cooked roms.

I'll take a picture of the T-Mobile screen to show (and try and explain clearly) what I mean. The T-mobile rom based on 1.37 is dire, dreadfully slow, but the 4 columns of icons looks great as opposed to all cooked roms I have installed with only 3columns and larger less crisp icons.

Can I ask? Is anyone still running a stock HTC Diamond Rom?

Does the Stock rom have smaller icons and 4 columns, or the same as the cooked roms.

So this looks like T-Mobiles stock rom has been written to provide the icons smaller and in a higher resolution. I must take a picture for you guys later, as it does look great and as I said, still useable and without the need to use the pen.

I wonder if this can be hacked in the registry, or one of the rom cookers could take a look at the T-mobile rom to try to incorporate this into the cooked roms?

Looks like the icons are the same size but the spacing is just less.

Hi Guys, yes I've just checked, the Icons are exactly the same size on both phones, but on the T-mobile phone with the 4 colums, the font size is smaller (same font)and yes agree the spacing is less between the icons, probably caused by the smaller font
