gtrab, I've noticed that sometimes when I get an SMS, if I open up the start menu the icons are all distorted and shoved to the left.

the only way I fixed it is by switching to landscape, and then back to portait.

I'll get a picture up soon.

ok, here it is.

this is more likely to the ROM itself and not the skin
there's some occasional video corruption in other apps too, and usually related to restoring a WM6.1 backup into WM6.5
(sort of restoring a Vista backup into Win7)

Hey gtrab thanks for the tip. also may I share you a tip I discovered. Was annoyed by the fact that the items can't be sorted simply so i went into the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start and for each item, i noticed either i would have:

Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Tasks.lnk]
"FavoriteOrder"=hex:\
      80,48,3a,57,c9,de,c9,01
"Favorite"=dword:00000001
"Group"=dword:00000000
"Icon"="[URL="file://\\Start_Icon_Tasks.png"]\Windows\Start_Icon_Tasks.png[/URL]"
"Rank"=dword:35a4ec1e
or

Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Task Manager.lnk]
"Icon"="\[URL="file://\\Start_Icon_TaskMgr.png"]Windows\Start_Icon_TaskMgr.png[/URL]"
"Rank"=dword:35a4ebec
I discovered that by removing everything except Icon, after a restart, the menu items are sorted alphabetically. Now, you can put your "favorites" on top as we normally do (tap-hold | Move to Top, etc) and the rest will still be sorted alphabetically.

I also discovered that you can hard code "favorites" by specifying rank but it has to "ranked" in decending order. for example, if you want Messaging, Calendar, Contacts, Games, IE, Settings in said order at the top, the the registry should look something like this:

Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Messaging.lnk]
"Rank"=dword:6
 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Calendar.lnk]
"Icon"="[URL="file://\\Windows\Start_Icon_Calendar.png"]\Windows\Start_Icon_Calendar.png[/URL]"
"Rank"=dword:5
 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Contacts.lnk]
"Icon"="[URL="file://\\Start_Icon_Contacts.png"]\Windows\Start_Icon_Contacts.png[/URL]"
"Rank"=dword:4
 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Games]
"Icon"="[URL="file://\\Windows\Start_Icon_Games.png"]\Windows\Start_Icon_Games.png[/URL]"
"Rank"=dword:3
 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Internet Explorer.lnk]
"Icon"="[URL="file://\\Start_Icon_IE.png"]\Windows\Start_Icon_IE.png[/URL]"
"Rank"=dword:2
 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Settings]
"Icon"="[URL="file://\\Windows\Start_Icon_Settings.png"]\Windows\Start_Icon_Settings.png[/URL]"
"Rank"=dword:1
Works on items in Submenus as well (ex. Games)

I initially tried starting the rank with 4294967295 then descending but it seems that doing so will put the items after sorted menu items. I have not verified it yet but I suspect ranks below 2147483647 would put items on top and numbers above that will put items below.

now, if someone could write a utility for it :)

HELP...I can't get either one of these solutions to work.

when installing the menu enhancer it tells me it installed but nothing changes and have reset numerous times.

when attempting to implement the sort, i go into the reg and do the edit as instructed "take out everything except "Icon" and i see no changes.

i have an Omnia 910 can anyone help? Perhaps more detailed instructions with the sort solution, can you post exactly what your edit looks like?

HNB,
