Hey thanks alot for this ROM it's great

I've run into only one problem really, but I have two questions too.

On the dialpad: If I scroll through the call history I can't actually see the first item on the list.
The first item is right underneath Sprint but still underneath the gray header area.

Question
1) Is their anyway for me to change the onscreen keyboard?
I'm trying to get the old 101 style keyboard up.

2) For IM's I use IM+ it worked fine on my old WM6.5 ROM.
Butnow the bottom portion of the app is behind the taskbar.
It haven't seen it with anything else so I guess it's the apps problem but I thought someone might have an idea.

Thanks,

Kenny
