VZW XV6800 Single Date Line Fix?
 

Hello everyone....I have been reading your fourm for a few days now, I am really enjoying all of the helpful posts...

I have tried several different ways to get the XV6800 to display a single date line on the TODAY screen and nothing seems to work. I have done the REG hacks, I have used AdvancedConfig, etc.

Does anyone have a fix for this?

single line time
 

Try the plugin today time it's free. You can configure the date/time string in any format.
This has worked for me for a single line.
ddd MMM' 'dd',' yyyy hh:mm t
There are two boxes where you can enter text left and right
use ' ' in the right box so that the text does not repeat.

Hey that did it, I had to turn OFF the WM date plugin and just use that one, but it does the trick. Thanks!!

where can I find this?

thanks

The following reg hack does work, but only for certain dates (short ones to be precise);

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today
AutoSingleLineDatePlugin = 1

Problems arise because the Today Date Plugin formats the date using your Long Date in Regional settings, which has limited options. For US region, the Long Date is dddd, MMMM dd, YYYY. For Nov 8 this will NOT fit on one line since it formats to "Saturday, November 08, 2008" - regardless of the fact that the reg hack is trying to put the date on a single line. Note that a date in May will always fit on one line.

To get it to work you need to apply 2 reg hacks;

1. the one listed above and;
2. HKLM\nls\overrides\SLDate (you need to do it here since Regional Settings does not provide many options)

Change the SLDate format to something that will fit on one line for all dates. For example I set mine to "dddd, MMMM, d". This yields "Sunday, November 9" which fits nicely.

TIP: You can use Excel to view different custom date formats to find one that you like.

For me that's
