Running Programs in Taskbar like Magic Button?

I was looking for a program that was able to show me running apps in the taskbar, tray or todayscreen and found Magic Button. I like it very much, but only the icons of the running programs in the upper taskbar next to the startbutton. I don't need the other functions, because I have SPB Pocket Plus.
Is there a possbility to deactivate the Close-Button of Magic Button?
Or are there other programs that are showing ONLY the icons of running programs?

The O2 task manager works by showing all running progs in a bar on the home screen. search for o2plus i think should find it.
I was hoping to find a prog that shows the icons in the bottom task bar...

icons of running programs, or just launcher?

icon of running programs

alternative to Magicbutton
I'm still looking for an alternative but can't find anything. I'm not an expert, maybe theres a way to edit the registry so that Magicbuttons starts without the X-Button-function. I need only the icons of running tasks next to the start-button in the Taskbar. Please help.

Try SK Menu (http://www.s-k-tools.com)

I've upgraded to WM6 on Trinity. Noe Magicbutton looks really bad! It changes the colors of the taskbar. Is there an update available?

looking fot the same registry tweak or small program...

Dev State
This is a Today Plugin, which can show the running apps with icons and some other things like battery status etc. I just use the running programms-feature. You can set the icon size too, which is quite finger friendly

WKTask
WKTask is what you need:

How to modify registery?

In the official WM5 ROM from I-Mate the battery icon is shown on the title bar and clock is hidden beneath it. Is there a way to bring it down to systray and make the clock visible? Please help.

download Batti v2.1 from http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/batti.shtml and install it on your universal. In the settings for the app, uncheck "Show Battery Icon in Top Bar". That will display the clock in the top bar!
download Battery Watch v1.03 from http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/batterywatch.shtml and install it on your universal to get the battery icon on your systray!
They're both freeware, so, enjoy!!

I found the answer to the part of my question at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Registry about adding battery icon to systray and I would like similar procedure for its removal from title bar. Thanks for your help I will be certainly using your addon untill I get my desired answer. Thanks a lot once again.

I would recommend having Batti as a must-have application if you like battery stats! The rest is up to you of course, i always prefer moderate-functionality apps to messing with the registry myself! They're small, easier to handle, removable and just provide more functionality that reg-editting!!

I used Batti but it didn't removed battery icon. What happens is that when app installs it is already configured not to show battery icon but the icon shows so I enabled it just to give a try and as a result two icons were shown then I unchecked it and only the new icon went away. The original icon remained there. Registery hack is a must!!!

weird, now i'm wondering how i got rid of the battery icon I'll let you know if i figure that out

That's really very nice !!!!! Figure it out soon please !

Still awaiting response. Please somebody help me soon.

what soft is this...?

Does anyone know what soft is this?(the one that does look like that the battery status and the signal)

It's something for smartphone (non-touch screen). I guess it's skin for Sbsh Facade.

Not sure, but it looks an awful lot like the smartphone version of pointui (www.pointui.com)

This is the portrait version of a Facade theme called Pearl. I don't recall who made the original, but aaroninoraa made the portrait version.
The icons at the top are skinned to SmartMonitor. I don't know if the plugin works for PPC. I've uploaded it so you can disect it.
The original is on the SBSH Facade forums.
Smartmonitor should be included in the zip. Freeware, AFAIK

is there a posibility to use onley the icon bar cuz thats what i realy whant from this homescreen

You could use a custom theme for BatteryStatus to get something similar, and to make it the actual TaskBar, you could use, I forget the name, but Vijay created a tool that removes the bar.

what i need is a software just like the rinku iconbar but to work on wm6.0 standard

Re: the theme you asked about
It's not really an icon bar, AFAIK. It's a theme/wallpaper with images that overlay on top of the faux icons taking their cue from smartmonitor.
DL the file, look at the XML

TaskBar Colour Icons?

Is it possible to change the taskbar icons on the Snap? I've done it on my TP2 but not sure if/how I can on my Snap.
Any help please?

search for roloracers colored top bar icons in the excalibur forum

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it but it didn't work

I had trouble with Roloracer's implementation too on my stock Dash 3G. But Ookba's 3volution ROM has a great built-in set, and once installed, you can easily overwrite with Roloracer's icons if you like them better.

You need the files from these two comments:
Roloracer
NGRZ28
INstall both and then go to your homescreen settings and choose the panel: Sliding Panel NRG
Mayb you have to optimize it with cHome.
It's working on my stock [GSM] HTC Snap...

Move Clock to show x button

I´m using wktask since i got my hd2 but now i flashed a new rom (Clean Ex DsE V14.5) where i can not use the x button of wktask.
Is there a way to move the clock a little bit to the left?
The skin function of wktask works but it hides the half clock.
And how can i disable the current programm caption on the upper left side in the taskbar?
I also want use the stock icons in the taskbar, how can i get them back?
cheers, Nuclear

I encountered this problem too. It's annoying. I ended up installing ArkSwitch. Pretty good.

i try to make a trasparent X icon and use it as skin in wktask.
Then i have to to press on the clock in the taskbar to close a program.
