How to make the iTask window semi-transparent ?

This is a neat little trick that will allow you to make the iTask window semi-transparent.

In the registry, go to:
HKEY_Classes_User\Software\Thumbs Up!\iTask

then, go to the value dwTrans. the higher the number means more transparency. This seems to use a 0-1000 scale, so around 200 is where you'll really start to notice it. I have mine set to 400 right now and it looks pretty cool.

If you hold down the speaker (press hard) and tap and hold the clock you will get an interesting 'Run' option

This is a siple trick: just find the ‘Fonts’ folder (c:\windows\font or c:\winnt\font, sometime you have to set the ability of your desktop to see hidden folders) on your desktop and copy the desired .ttf ' in your PDA \windows\font

That's is possible. Just within the Windows Media Player go to:

tools/settings/bottoms, select function Screen Toggle, Push the button you want to use for this task and that's it.

But if you want to do it yourself here is how that trick is done:

HKLM\ControlPanel\Password

If you have a Hide value equal to 1 change it to 0

If you have any Redirect rename it to xRedirect.

That's all.

You can change the memory used to cache fonts glyphs, this allow you to use more memory to speed up the display.

Browse to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE

You can change the "limit" value :

4096 : slow down the display, but use less memory (default setting on Palm-size PC)

8192 : default value on Pocket PC, average memory/performances

16384: speed up the display, but use more memory, twice the default Pocket PC value...

From the start menu, select settings > remove programs (under the System tab) Find the software in the list that you wish to uninstall Select it, and click "Remove" At this point you will be asked to confirm your request. To do so, tap 'Yes'

With some applications there will be further steps. Make sure to follow all on-screen instructions. Click "ok" in the top right corner when finished.

well well, well done. THanks for telling us ;

First of all, i'll like to commend all the moderators that make this site one in a million. U 'all have no idea hownmuch u've helped me and my folks here in Nigeria. Now to the problem, i purchased a Tungsten E2(palm one device) but when it was sent to me(from my relative) I DIDN't get the CD and Data cable that came with, so my Palm one device is as good as empty. To real one player, nothing at all. I will really appreciate it if i can an upload for it. And the games and application in this pocket pc section, do they work for palm one devices(tungsten to be precise). Looking forward to your replies as soon as possible and once again thanks for everything.

WOW!
Great tips - Thank you!
