Your nice and small memory saving utilities! [edited] - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General

Hey all, i'm always in a hassle to find a good battery monitor for my magician, i've tried a lot of them and it seems any make my day... so what are you guys using?
edit: keep the small and usefull utilities comming

I'm using the icon that comes with SPB gprs Monitor, it's small, clear (though hard to see what's exact state) & it doesn't cost me any space, since I want to see the gprs connectionspeed anyway.
Regards, M

I use the resco today plugin to display me the battery status. It looks clean on my today screen

:lol:
they're just the program icons:MDict,Resco Explorer,Scientific Calculator,TeamOne Reader,and Windows Note...u can add/remove the programs as your wish by tapping 'n holding the spb_plus area.Then,I like to set them to "Large Icon" for my huge fingers-to the small phone of course.
cheers.

hummm maybe if i change the topic to "Your nice and small memory saving utilities" this could become a very usefull thread...

Yeah I'm glad I'm following the board for a few months now. There are some threads full off good little apps. & other tips. It's only very hard to catch them all in one aggregated thread.

Btw:
- DKToday to keep an eye on my phone/sms bill, BT switching & signal strength
- VJOkButt to close apps
- CabInstl to install where I want to

If you want the theme to go darker - use this tweak
using a registry editor, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Color, then change 'basehue' to 160. 0 is theoretically darkest hue, but 160 gives almost black it's quite nice
It does work but be warned the value can revert if you change themes
just black.
I think not just black - it alters hue/contrast
correct.. for full black you need to use the theme-specifc registry entries. I kinda like the gradients myself

LG Today Plugin with No Bottom Bar

This is the Awesome LG Today Plugin with no bottom bar and at the bottom of the screen. Get it & all instructions about configuring it
HERE
Attach here pls, requres registration.
Dont get me wrong, but i do not want to registrate myself for the download only. Please put the download here, thank you.
I want a Version, without Spacer
i registered for all of us. didn't test it yet, so be carful...

I downloaded this version
The only differance between this and the one already found in the othere LG today plug thread is dciNoBar.exe so no need to register to get what you already get strait of this side
and no need to make a new thread for things that you could have added to the other thread
Got it. Looks very exciting! Thanks.
It look so nick,Thank you !
what is the use of spacer 2 here?
It works great, the only real point of it is it removes the bottom bar of windows mobile (aka the soft keys) when you are on the main screen. The file is safe as it is really the same files we already have here, just packaged together for ease of use.
The spacer program is actually a quick fix for making the buttons show up on the bottom. I did notice a good value on it was 69 when using only the htc home plugin and the buttons, with the bottom bar enabled. and 94 with only the 2 plugins and the bottom taskbar disabled.
does any one have that all black theme we see in the screenshots?
heres a black theme but it doesnt say htc on it.
is there a way to configure this thing or are we stuck with it the way it is. i want to edit what the icons open up.
I want to edit the paths of the shortcuts, for example, usb stick to wm5torage and the globe icon to destinator... looks great in my HTC Touch, a screenshot of it:

has anyone got this theme??? it looks sick...i want it on my phone :)
thanks in advance
I am also interested in the .tsk from the original screenshot. mushipkw, which battery meter are you using?
I figured I would give this a shot on a clean install of DCD's 1.6.7 ROM. Memory usage dropped from 27.52 free to 19.xx after installing this today plugin. It looks perty and works as described but that's just too much memory for me to sacrifice.

Agreed. The new beta of WAD is looking freaking phenomenal! In a nutshell, put what you want, where you want it, no scripting, xml, etc.
As a recommendation, I think you should put on a widget that displays the usual status notifications: sms, email, missed calls, voicemail, but if you could make them seperate widgets that would be even better, as some people don't use the email one, you would be able to rearrange, etc. Just a suggestion, and again, I'm looking forward to this/

Giger Unique is going to finish
Well lets say - it looks nice - icons with 3 styles, each symbol with Alien Pattern... PN and ICO format for you (65+ images)
At last - you will be happy about iContact - there will be no icon?
How I did it? Kinder Surprise.... Touchable Alien body
and at all I added Application Launcher skin
And by the way - two more themes are wayiting (ot three?)
I know about Silky graphics (little bit fetish? ), Wood style....
and how about Wubmarine WORLD in your PDA?
OK... A stopped work on Giger unique - it takes me a lot of time to draw new graphics...
But here goes WOODEN with new icon set - check it
Very nice work mcmike_cz
is there any way you can put up your ul file that way i can just replace mine?
