Toolbar: (how) can you place shortcut icons?

Have done a semi-extensive search to find a plug-in which allows you to place application shortcuts on the lower toolbar of the Today screen (not on the Desktop). True Toolbar is a step in the right direction, however, this does only show the running programs. Any other ideas? Thanks.

Dear,
I know a nice program called cLaunch for launching applications directly from shortcuts on Today Screen. there are many versions to it. Here is one of them www.freewareppc.com/utilities/claunch.shtml . Above all, it's freeware
Hope this is what you're looking for

Thanks, Ken_xda, but that's not what I'm looking for. As mentioned in my post, I'd like to have the shortcuts placed in the TOOLBAR on the bottom of the screen (not on the Today Desktop). The same way you can place the Quick Lunch icons in your lower toolbar in MS Windows.

maybe this one it sounds like it's in the buttom but the picture looks a bit odd

I should have mentioned it, sorry. I tried FastAccess. The idea is quite good. It adds a little toolbar to the bottom of the screen which toggles between showing/hiding icons of any programs you choose. But the execution is rather poorly done. It disabled the close/minimize button on certain applications and some design elements such as the size of the check box doesn't integrate that nicely into the existing user interface.

Try TrayLaunch from PHM....Works great and it's free!

Use PHM Tools, or if you're foolhardy, VJTrayLaunch.

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:

HTC Home Customizer - Launcher icons

Anyone know how to add your own icons for programs you add to the launcher? The default selections had custom icons, but when I add a program from the list to an empty laucher spot, it uses the default windows icon. Can that be changed?

Hmm
If its on the storage card it may not use a icon. How ever if it is in the Main mem it should use the current icon on the shortcut. There is a program to change them but did u install the HTC Home Customizer!?

Yes, I installed the customizer, and chose an Icon set. When i went to the "Launcher" tab, there were about 6 entire already there, like "backlight" and "Launch Program Folder" and "Lock Device"
All of those options had custom icons. However, if I add an app to a blank spot, it uses the default windows icon. Can I provide an icon of my own choosing for the phone to use in that launcher spot?

I would like to do exactly the same. have nice launcher icons for other programs. Like GroupSMS. Help Anyone?

I was poking around in the registry and noticed therfe was a value called iconpath in HKLM/software/HTC something or other. Maybe that would work?

Its best to resize them to 32x32 before setting them as custom icons or your launcher looks messy. Took a while before I could my the Opera icon right I store in the My Pictures folder and Im doing just fine.

How?
You said you were able to resize the icons, did you do that with the directory listed above?

there is a tutorial on the HHC site.

Im having the same issue. Im using the stock Spb MS / Suite / Weather / Plus tabbed layout. When I added programs last night *some* of them showed up correctly, but now this morning after powering back on, many are the default windows icon.Example: Resco registry editor and Resco explorer. I tried changing the icon, but in Spb's menu it only shows icons in Spb's bank of icons.
Very annoying. Still playing....

More Today screens as panel?

Is it possible get that more those standard today screen as panel?
Cos I would like to have FEWidgets & iFronz etc. as panels and still have that normal today screen.
Any ideas?

That is a nice idea...!

2 today screens
The closest iv seen to solving this is to use a program called mtoday, see thread - Best Apps for the x1.
You can create 2 today screens with different plugins, run program, set profile 1 and save, then create shortcut, do the same for profile 2. In the programs menu you then find links to launch your 2 today screens. I have pocket plus 4 and touch 3d. Why use panel spaces switching this way is easier and faster.
Posted from my X1

Hi,
I think axjiii is searching a programme or a option to create a panel for a specific programme, for expamle a panel which launches iFonz or other programmes. I was also looking for such an programme with which I could create several panels for i.e. skype, TV, iFonz, etc.
BTW, is iFonz working on the X1? As I'm still waiting for my X1 I couldn't test it yet.

Well, maybe the TF3D panel launcher could be tweaked to launch FEWidgets and iFonz.

No iFonz panel as at yet, right?

Maybe you should try downloading the SDK panel editing package from Sony and dissect the "TF3D as a panel" cab: it just "runs" TF3D
There's also a "youtube" panel but it makes the same simple thing: when pressed, it runs the youtube app and turns "today" screen to blank
You could try to build a panel that runs your desired app

I'd also love such a feature. I have got the panels installed already (not using them though) and to me they very much seem to be something like multiple today screens. It would be nice to just keep the existing panels and the normal today screen and to be able to define another panel (or many more) for which you can define a different today screen with different plugins etc.
What would be very important from my perspective is the impact on resources, both memory and CPU. It would be good not having all today plugins running at all time, even when they are not visible, because many today plugins affect performance a lot from what I experienced. Also the time when switching the home screen via the panels shouldn't take too long, so, initializing the today plugins completely whenever switching today screens/panels would take too long in my point of view. Still, today plugins which run in the background need to get specific messages, e.g. GPRS monitor for still counting the data.
What I would love to have with such a solution would be to be able to switch panels/today screens by switching profiles, i.e. switching panels via commandline.

Looks quite simple for everyone who has Microsoft Visual Studio.
Unfortunately I don’t have MSVS, but I someone create a panel that simply call some app stored in registry (or panel1 for app1, panel2 for app2 and so on), it will be great! In combination with mToday or SecondToday it will allow for anyone to have multiple Today Screens.
I’m personally prefer to have on main Today Screen SPB Dairy and SPB Phone Suite (organiser) while on second Today a lot of shortcuts to useful apps and tools (pocket pc).
