Change your icons to 4 columns
The new range of VGA WM6.1 devices like the HTC Diamond can be modified to change your icon grid on the programs and settings screens from 3 to 4 columns. This gives you the ability to get many more icons on screen and reduce scrolling times.


The simple registry edits needed are as follows:
In HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\
Add a New Key “IconConfig”
In there Add DWORD Value:
“HorizontalIconSpacing” Dec value=”112″
“VerticalIconSpacing” Dec value=”115″
“IconTitleFontSize” Dec value=”6″
Or you can use a CAB file from Xda-Developers (registration required).

Re: Change your icons to 4 columns
It looks good and the CAB file takes the pain out of it too! I believe you can stretch it up to 5 icons but that is pushing it a little!

Re: Change your icons to 4 columns
I tried the 4 by 5 grid but it looks too fuzzy to me probably due to the icon resizing ! Went back to standard layout

Re: Change your icons to 4 columns
I hate to think what the 5 x 5 grid would look like!

Re: Change your icons to 4 columns
Does this mod work on Win Mo 6? If so, where does the icon appear after installing the .cab file? Thanks!!

Tried it on my Touch Cruise and it didn't work, neither adding the Key nor installing the .cab

Re: Change your icons to 4 columns
As far as I'm aware the hack does need WM6.1 to be on board and possibly a VGA device for it to work.
