I am running Today04[1].txt skin I guess the task/agenda area is too long and a scroll bar shows up on the side blocking some info. How would I remove it?
Thanks RJK
I'm not sure which skin this is but in general the scroll bar appears when the height of the skin is greater than the height of the PPC screen. By experimentation the maximum height I can do on my machine (Ipaq 2200) is 267. Anything more than that and I get the scroll bar.
It's not so simple to get rit of it. First check the beginning of the skin file for the height and maxheight commands and see what they are. You could try to reduce them to around 267 but depending on the skin this may interfer with the way some of the regions function. If this is the case then you have to calculate which regions are showing when you get the scroll bar and what their heights are. You should look for a command something like:
defregion,0,0,0,240,54,15
The 54 is the height of this region (0). Add up all the region heights and see what you get. It should be greater that around 267. Then you need to see which regions you can reduce without interfering with area that the region needs in order to function. If you reduce the area of the agenda or tasks region you also have to look at the outlook command:
outlook,5,1,235,80,2,1,,,,2
where 80 is the height of the agenda/task data itself. It obviously needs to be less or equal to the height of the region which contains the information. Changing this will alter how many appointments or tasks show at one time.
As I said, this is a real pain but it's the only way that I know to get rit of that *!@# scroll bar.
Hope this helps,

Thank you for the help. I changed the max height from 375 to 370 and it solved the problem. No adverse effects that I've noticed. It was easy. thank you again.
