Do you have a link where I can find more info on that?

20. Display the date on the top bar under the clock:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\
Create a binary value named "TBOpt" with value of "13 00 00 00"

The only problem with this is that you can't see the last digit in the year, but really, who doesn't know its 2003???

Since we know the year to be 2008 (or 2009 soon), to have the date display w/o the 'miss' in the year, we can do the following.

1. HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\
Create a DWORD value Name = TBOpt Value = 03
Good explanation on what is this 'TBOpt' here.

2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides
Create a String value Name = SSDte Value = ddd MMM dd' '
The last ' ' is to push the date to the right to allow the "OK" not disturb or clash w/ the date.

Caveat: After doing this tweak, if you have a peek @ the Start>Settings>System>RegionalSettings>Date, & press OK there, then the reg value can get altered.

Then the above tweak has to be done again.

It works for me, can someone update the first page.

BTW, hats off to dannzeman. I used all the tweaks and am enjoying it. =D>

PS: did you mean 2008 (instead of 2003) in your first post ?

Ah ha! I knew there was more to that reg edit, I just couldn't remember it. I had it don't before where it would show the whole date. Thank you very much! =D>

No, I meant 2003. I was trying to make a joke that we all know at least what year it is so me putting 2003 is making it look like I forgot. I guess not very funny.

The White Balance tweak does add a menu item to choose among 5 profiles for white balance (such as Sunny, Fluorescent, or Incandescent). However, these choices do not appear to have any effect: unlike what you would see in a digital camera, there is no immediate, perceptible color shift when you change the WB setting or in captured images. The images occasionally differ in brightness, but colors appear virtually identical.

That might explain why this option was hidden. Perhaps someone who knows about the camera in the 800w can confirm whether it is capable of using white balance profiles.

Yeah, Ebag (the original poster of this hack) noticed the same thing too. In fact, there's a little note right below the hack saying about the same thing you did. I haven't done this one so I can't say. I usually carry my Canon 40D with me everywhere so I don't really worry about the camera in my phone.
