I don like the new two-item menus at the bottom of my display – how do I change them back to the older toolbar style menu?
The “Microsoft standard” for Windows Mobile 5 (and later) applications is to employ a two-item menu at the bottom of the display, as opposed to using a similar style menu as is found on desktop PCs running MS Windows. This is to allow users with “softkeys” (i.e. smartphones with two buttons, left and right, below their display) to navigate more quickly and easily. Of course, as with all user interfaces, there’s always someone who doesn’t like it! FreeOTFE4PDA does give you the option to change back the older style though; simply tap “Menu | View | Options” and uncheck the “Support WM 5.0 soft keys” option.
