MiniMonth v3.1.03 - today screen calander plugin ( in English )

[dannzeman]

I thought this was kinda cool. I like that it shows a full calender view right on the Today screen. Found it at 1800pocketpc.com.

A simple today plugin which displays the date and a mini calendar on the today screen. Its a very handy plugin. One issue is that its in Russian so some of us might not be able to use it, but with this trick you can change the language to English.

• Fire up your favorite Registry editor ( or get a free one here )
• Find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/ Software/Bronenos/MiniMonth/
• Change the value of the key English to 1
• Reboot

Here's what it looks like running on my 800w. But, I also have RealVGA installed, so I don't know if it'll look different on devices w/o RealVGA installed or on VGA devices.

You don't actually have to do a soft reset to get the language to change, just wait a few minutes and it'll change on its own after the reg edit. To get to the options screen tap and hold in the area between on the month and year. I couldn't figure out where exactly but its in that general vicinity. My only problem with this app right now is that I can't get the clock to open the 'Clocks and Alarms' settings. And there's not option to increase the size of the calendar.

Doesn't look so good on the Diamond VGA screen.

If you want to have the "clocks and alarms" come up when you tap the clock go to the same registry and put in \Windows\CLOCK.EXE where it says clock(you should be overwriting where it says /windows/timemanager.exe).
Now i have a question how do you make it 12hr instead of 24 hr?

The clock was way to small to see on my 640x480 VGA Diamond. So I did a little editing and now it is readable.

The hour minute seperator is fixed. I took a screenshot before I was done.

Sweet, what did you do to get it bigger?
