thats what i did.. so i have nothing in the top left corner, but my signal icon, i press it and it displays the start menu.

EDIT: also the landscape mode locks up the 6700 and is garbled..
so imma just make my own landscape version.

EDIT2: heres another tip, instead of pointing the youtube button to PIE, edit the properties, path executable to "http://m.youtube.com"
with the quotes, it'll automatically open pie and youtube.
you give great input, and you seem to know what youre doing..i like you

Yes, I set start button to invisible and then set the signal to do the start button's duties, it's the cleanest and simplest way to get the signal bar in there, I think. the button "custom 1" is the verizon sign, and "custom 2" is just blank, so I have both of those set there as well, to push the signal to the left all the way. the Verizon logo can be changed by finding the file "custom1_normal.png" from the WADefault folder, opening it in Photoshop or whatever you use to edit pictures, just black out Verizon and type in Sprint and save it, overwrite it, and send it back to your phone.

I occasionally have problems with the landscape mode, but not what you are describing. When quickly changing from landscape to portrait my 6700 will occasionally lock up, I've found the way to combat this is to simply give it time to load everything before switching between the two. For example, when texting, I will have the blank text box open and wait a second, then open the keyboard, wait for it to change to landscape, and wait a few more seconds to ensure WAD in the background has done its changing, then I can type quickly with no lock-ups or slow-downs. Before sending the text, I switch back to portrait, and again wait for it to load before doing anything. I think this is a problem with WAD itself, and not my theme, but if I am wrong, please share with me your solution, as while my method works, it is not the most favorable.

great tip on the shortcut pointing to a web link as well, I actually didn't know how to do that, and wish I did. Good to know, but it is worth pointing out that these link to your default web browser. I'm not sure if that could pose aproblem with mobileTube, but my default browser takes much longer to load than regular ol' PIE.
