Known Issues

  • There are draw issues on WM6.0 (I have no emulator nor device running WM6.0, so I can not fix them - for now).

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. How can I set custom colors for the background and foreground of the task list?

    Create the following keys in the registry (HKCU\Software\DaProfik\tMan):

    • ClrMenuBg [DWORD]: color of the task list background.
    • ClrMenuFg [DWORD]: color of the task list text.
    • ClrMenuHiBg [DWORD]: color of the hilight bar background of the task list.
    • ClrMenuHiFg [DWORD]: color of the hilight bar text of the task list.

    Color format is the following: 0xBBGGRR (hex). Thus, if you want a blue text insert 0xFF0000 (hex) for ClrMenuFg.

  2. How do I disable the annoying 'Kill forcibly' dialog?

    Create a registry key ConfirmTerminate [DWORD] in HKCU\Software\DaProfik\tMan and set its value to 0 (zero).

  3. How do I disable the soft-reset confirmation dialog?

    Create a registry key ConfirmSoftReset [DWORD] in HKCU\Software\DaProfik\tMan and set its value to 0 (zero).

  4. I do not want WM5 styled buttons on my WM5 device. How can I switch to old styled buttons?

    Create a registry key OldStyleButton [DWORD] in HKCU\Software\DaProfik\tMan and set its value to 1 (one).
