If I have customized icons for my slider, will the programs tab not match?

That depends totally on what icon set you're using, some sets have a matching icon as part of the set/some don't

I've got Tesalat iphone rhodium icon set, I don't want to add this killer menu though if it doesn't match.


Anyone know if this icon set would work?? or could I change the icon somehow???

Just try it & see if it works, you can always remove it if you don't like it.

Back up your system first with something like SPB backup, then you can always restore it no matter what happens.

Then go to Windows/Start menu/Programs. Once you're in there, right click & create a new folder & name it whatever you want (you can see the one I created called "applications", I have all my most used everyday apps listed in there so I can get to them in one click with no scrolling))

Then drag/copy whatever existing shortcuts from outside the folder into it. After that, I usually delete the original shortcut.

Hi John,

Thanks. I can see how this would work just fine with the traditional Start Menu outside of TF3D, but I'm not sure this would work within TF3D. When I check my phone now, I see a folder for Office Mobile inside \windows\Start Menu\Programs, but it doesn't show up within TF3D. If I attempt to insert a new item into the 30-icon TF3D Start Menu area, that folder doesn't show up either. So I'd have to assume that other folders I create within that directory would not show up either.

So, is there a way of getting this behavior within TF3D?

Couldn't I just remove the tab if I didn't like it...

Under the rearrangement of tabs I could just uncheck the box no?

Actually, on the new Start Menu, there is an icon for Office Mobile, which should be a 'folder' containing all of the short cuts. My wife has the only TP2 right now, so i cant verify as im at work, but i do know that icon is on the new Start Menu.

When you say new Start Menu are you referring to WM6.5? If so, I'm on WM6.1 and likely to stay with it (I tried WM6.5 briefly on a TP2 I was returning, and it didn't bowl me over, with things I liked, others I didn't).

With WM6.1, as far as I can see, the Folders in Windows\Start Menu\Programs do not show up within TF3D.

Bump...

Bump again:

Does anybody know how/if it is possible to add "Folders" to the stock TF3D Start Menu, so that I can better organize my Apps and provide quicker and more efficient access to apps beyond the 3x10 that the TF3D provides, without having to go through all of them in 'All Applications'??

That's not really how the TF3D Start Menu works. It's just a simple screen with links, not navigable. Let's say there was a folder link in the Start Menu, where would the screen go when you tapped it? Not possible. In all honesty, if this were possible, there would already be solutions here or on XDA.
