6.5 questions - new user

[Jeddeh]

Hi all,

I'm trying to customize my phone to the way I like it and not the way windows tried to display it.

Currently, the today screen is missing the weather and contacts options. The favourites bar has internet explorer on it, and when i try to look at it, it opens the IE browser.

is there any way to get opera to be the default in there?

how do you go about making the emails smaller? (like the size they were in 6.1)??? I used to be able to view many emails in a list but now I can only see 5 before needing to scroll. same with text message lists. I used to be able to see the last 8-10 people I messaged and now it is only the last 5 because of the large size.


the only pictures in the "pictures" bar are just the stock ones. how do I get the ones that i've backed up to show there, as well as the new ones I take with the phone camera?


I understand some things are definately going to be different between 6.5 and 6.1 but I've seen a few screen caps of the weather and contact bars being in the today screen.

the taskbar - when you "click" or push it, is there a way to make it come up like it did in 6.1?

How do I change the colour theme to a simple black one instead of the green and pink one that is on there now? (I've figured out how to change the today picture). EDIT: fixed. settings - today. cool.
There are more questions but I forget them now. Must be hungry.

Many thanks to anybody who has any tips or who knows of a thread that is already on here or the net that has some customization tips!
