Verizon Touch Pro 2 button help and Manila questions

[jdog_12345]

Hi Everyone,
First post so please be nice.
I have 2 questions. I am a long time WinMo user so I understand about regedits so I am not a total noob. I am having issues with the stupid backlight button on the TP2 shutting off on me when typing with the hardware keyboard because I keep bumping it with my fat sausage fingers when I am typing. What a stupid place to put the button. I have a copy of AE button plus but the top button (backlight) is not registered in it. How can I change it to either a double press or a long press?

Next question... I have never used touchflo so I am touchflo noob. I like a lot of the features but I noticed it is not very customizable from the GUI. Can someone point me to a decent guide on how to change icons, add new tabs, etc? I can't seem to find a good one here and at XDA.

I am sure one of you fine souls can find it in your heart to assist me.

Thanks.
