Clock in system tray? - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

Is there an app to add clock in system tray next to battery and comm manager?
Thanks

Modify registry entry under \HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell -> Specifically an Binary value in TBOpt of 13 00 00 00 produces a clock and date in the taskbar .
I cant remember the different values to produce clock / date / clock and date, but they are on the forums someplace - do a search for "clock taskbar".

jamichy: if you really do mean the tray at the bottom, not the top, then I don't remember seeing one.
But can you really discern that space? It's only 16x16 pixels. That's not much to show a clock in. The one in the startbar (at the top) isn't very big already, and that's > 16x16.
At VGA resolutions on the Universal, it's near impossible to see anything in the tray.

Vijay: thanks for your great apps; what app do you use to put the analogue clock on your 'today' screen, that seems a more useful option than the tiny little taskbar clocks (I've seen the pic of your 'today' screen in one of the threads)

It's an unreleased today plugin I wrote called VJEphemeris. It's on hold because it will grow with VJSihaya, when I get time to look back on it.
There's a couple of other plugins that will give you an analog clock on the today screen. I don't like analog clocks though. My mind is more digital then analog in that sense. But I wrote the analog clock just for the fun of it, and I like my icon band wrapping around it.
You can toggle the analog clock in the top right by pressing and holding on the clock until it shows you a menu.

vijay,
What do you use to get all the icons on the topbar?
Thanks for your great apps by the way!

Phone alarm with my custom skin and VJToggleToday.
Skins etc are available here:

But please don't ask for WM5 version of VJToggleToday yet. I'm working on it between other stuff

VIJAY:
Im using the new aku2 imate rom, and it adds a taskbar battery to my wizard, and takes off the clock, and i need to have it back there...
any ideas?
Or any small plugin that will display only the clock in 1 line on the today screen?

jamichy: check out your extended rom. There's normally some rubbish in there to remove the battery icon and clock etc.
Have a look at this page for cabs for the universal. They should work on the Wizard as well, although you can probably find the same cabs for Wiz specific.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=41968&highlight=tweaks
It completely removes the time from the top right? Hmm, I'll have to grab my Universal, not with me at the mo.... Will try to get back to you later.
I've seen screenshots of an aku2 rom that I thought had the clock in a today plugin by default. Have you checked your today plugins?
V

In the new rom the clock is on the same line as the date, and the top bar now has a battery meter instead of the clock...
I want to have just the clock and not date....

I think this one was an MS move not an imate one as even the Qtek test rom has a battery icon up top, and the date plugin now has the time and date. though this seems logical [why display the time in two places?--in today] it is hardly pratical.

clock out of the taskbar is stupid.. it's the only way you get to see the time if you're not on the Today Screen %)
If you go to Time & Date settings, is there still an option to show the time regardless of the active app? If so, that might just need checking. If not.. curses - that'd be a sucky 'upgrade' %)

If you go to Time & Date settings, is there still an option to show the time regardless of the active app?

The option is there. But with the Qtek aku 2 rom (2.8.7.1) it did not always show the clock.
Maybe thats fixed in the 2.16 from imate
I like the battery in the top-menu bar, but clock should be there as well (in apps).
con of the clock in the date-today plugin is that that plugin now takes 2 lines of your screen. and i dont like that either.

I'm not too fond of the battery on taskbar concept... it takes up icon space :> I run Batti instead. 1 pixel (technically 2 due to the border) high bar that goes all the way across the top, shows the level, changes color at user-defined percentages, etc. Far less intrusive while also far more useful. In my humble opinion, of course.
Not having a clock in the taskbar would mean... err, I guess looking at your watch, but if you're not wearing one, it would mean going back to the Today screen to get the time, and then going back to your app to fill it in (if that's what you were going to do, that is.)
As for date and time on 2 lines... yeah, pretty silly - they can easily be on 1 line. I still have a $75 bounty + $25 from somebody else for somebody to develop a proper date+time today screen plugin... here's hoping somebody will pick up on it eventually %)
Back on-topic... I do hope somebody can confirm that...
1.a the time can still be placed there
1.b the time will still be visible in all apps
1.c the time can also still show the date (TBopt = 3)
2.a. the battery icon can be removed
2.b. and if at all possible, be re-located to the bottom tray - just in case (I don't use it, but whatever)

edsub: I'm using the new 2.1.6 imate rom... and its like the qtek test rom... I'm serously thinking of moving back to the old rom version,
although i have to say.... Wifi performance seems to be better with the new one... picking up signal very quickly

zeboxx:
1. Don’t know if time can be placed there
2. enabling clock to be visible in all apps from clock settings still makes it visible
3. TBOpt 3 does display date and time in apps in the task bar, but not whrn you are on today, the battery seems to be superimposed on the date…
4. can the batt icon be removed??? Please help
5. you can get the batt in system tray by copying “powertray.exe” from \windows to \windows\startup

I think you answered "1" when you answered "2" and "3"
So it's *only* on the Today screen that the battery icon appears ?
Or is it that when you're on the Today screen, the Time gets 'removed' ?
As for removing the battery icon - there's a tweak that applies to some other devices/roms:
Hide/Show battery indicator in Task bar
If you wish to hide the battery indicator in the task bar on some devices, you can set:
Code:
HKLM\Services\Power\ShowIcon = 0 (DWORD decimal)
And to show:
Code:
HKLM\Services\Power\ShowIcon = 1 (DWORD decimal)
Note that this icon and its feature may not be available on your device at all. For example, the HTC Wizard::Qtek 9100 regularly ships with a battery indicator in the Tray instead, governed by "Windows\Startup\Init_Tray.exe".

Click to collapse
Perhaps that'd be worth a try?

So it's *only* on the Today screen that the battery icon appears ?
Or is it that when you're on the Today screen, the Time gets 'removed' ?
Yes to both....
and the power reg key does not exist... tried creating and setting, no luck

the beta rom from imate has swapped it... stupid
the clock shows in all applications other than the today scree!!!!!
so to see it on the today screen, you need to have a two line plug in to get the time
there really are some morons out there doing the development, where on earth did MS get their ideas from, thats what i call a brain fart if i ever saw one
spb was good for a battery idea, or anywhere really but were the clock is

That's pretty darn lame. It wouldn't be *too* bad if the date/time thing was on one line. I still have plenty of space left on my Today screen, so 2 lines wouldn't hurt me that badly, but why take up 2 lines when it all fits easily on 1? *sigh*
I'm curious.. what happens if you disable the date/time Today item?
Does going to the Today screen still remove the Time in the Taskbar?
Might just be a function ot the Today screen item, by ways of reasoning that if you have the time on the Today screen, you won't need it in the Taskbar. Even though that's where every user would still expect it to be.. you know, ergonomic design and all that.

it's my Batterystatus SKin
I can't post the 5th pic because its limited to 4 per post.
I also can't take credit for the theme, its called iStyle. I did tweak it a little, obviously.
the clock is made by asefsef for batterystatus but I modified it to fit my theme. The botttom is an rltoday skin that I made.
I have been trying to assemble all the bits I want to acheive my ideal interface - certain bits are done, but I am teaching myself C++ to code other bits.
The general idea of the skin is that a small section of the top is always visible (type=5) with no scrollbars - showing the clock/date, message counters and BT / WiFi toggle - it's impractical to have a whole horizontal block devoted to a clock, you may as well have something else there.
Previously, I made an rlToday skin to handle the top part, but I am now in the process of coding an rlToday-like app to replace that and support different images for different button states, for example.
The rest of the screen is a cube. Gesture left/right to switch faces, and where applicable gesture up down to scroll lists. I want to have a contacts list like this, and a music browser too - like the browser in Pocket Player, but in a UL cube face (Been speaking to conduits and they say its gonna happen or it can be done existingly with the SDK)
Images wise, all of the PNGs are just placeholders for now, I want to use glass icons with an interesting background and prefract (Pre-refract: see here) the area behind the buttons so it looks like they are made of glass and are bending the light passing through them. If I can get my app (or the new XIAMultitheme which I may switch to helping develop) working to allow different PNGs for different states then I want to acheive a nice glass interface look with icons lighting up in a believable manner etc.
Anyway, for now, attached are some layout type mockups:
Spinny cube GIF
Placeholder apps in the faces - I want a main "contacts list" in one face, but another smaller one in another face for my riding buddies along with a weather tab - see if it is worth riding and call the people you ride with if it is, all from one face
Top layout in this one is my rlToday "SaFF" skin (see sig)
This is laid out almost exactly how I want it, the transparent images need doing properly though.
Landscape version of the "SaFF" skin - notice how the scrollbars only cover the cube area. This is the dynamic I want to base the whole thing around - the bottom half spins left/right and you an drag scroll it up or down to select items.

I like that clock area transparency , kind of similar to the look I want.
What I would really like for the clock area is to acheive the look of a lump of glass with the LCD font 88:88 etched into it (and sunken down a bit) then the characters overlaid onto that. With a matching prefracted wallpaper I reckon it would look amazing.

Hello, I'm really interested by your clock, can you post it in attachement please because my current skin Yo_status doesn't work anymore on my new trinity 6.1 rom. It doesn't show memory usage and sd space left, perhaps someone have the same error on other battery status skin and 6.1. Thanks for you help.
PS: here is mine (before changing for 6.1)

I actually did that one by spamming screen grab repeatedly and self assembling in a GIF editor. not meaning to derail the thread, but if anyone knows of a decent screen capture util that renders out a nice movie and shows clicks/drags too, lemme know.

Wasn't my post, it was by spencepu3. I really like your purple skin though - nice lines but still pretty efficient use of space.
What I would also like to do with mine is make the clock area a ul cube that had a different timezone in each face, but that would require being able to run two UL cubes at once.

- Program "Clear" button moved to allow re-assignment without clearing.
Version 1.01 bug fixes:
- signal bars tweaked for accuracy

Okay, couple of updates:
New status bar that not only displays information, but provides new functionality.
Status bar displays: Signal strength (up to 5 bars), Carrier name, Wifi Power status, BT Power status, Data connection status, ring profile (on, vibrate, off), and battery level
If you tap on:
Signal strength up to Wifi - opens CommManager.exe
BT to Ringer Profile - cycles through profiles (on -> vibrate -> off)
Battery - Opens Powerexe.exe
Home screen now displays next Calendar Appointment. Tap it to open calendar.exe, OR add <Calendar ref="Path to Your Calendar Program"/> to data.xml for it to open a different Calendar program
Tap on the Slider in the Home Position to open TaskMgr.exe, OR add <TaskMan ref="Path to Your Task Manager"/> to data.xml to have it open your own task manager.
Also added a "Clear" Button for Contacts and Programs that will reset the selected button.
Bug Fixes:
- Memory Leaks
- Program Button image duplication
- SMS error on newly assigned contacts
- Other system bugs
- Smaller icons for better performance
- Battery Meter
Next update will include:
- Skinnable Clock on Home Screen
Alright, I've had a couple of weeks to work out the bugs and to implement most of the suggestions you guys gave me.
So, here is the new and improved MusicFlo
Get Icon from most programs
Suppports png transparency for Program Icons
Fully customizable graphics (all pics found in \Program Files\MusicFlo)
Size and position of Program and Contact buttons now on config.xml
Try it out and let me know what you think!
The CAB will overwrite the original MusicFlo, so no uninstall necessary.
You still need the two HTC apps in your Windows folder if you don't have them already.
Not on video: Open S2P by clicking the album art on the Control Panel.
Original Post:
Making Cube Skins is fun for a while, but then you realize that you are just prettying up someone elses program, and who knows what changes that program will go through in just a few months. So I decided to give programming my own "Cube" a shot.
I listened to what people were asking for with the Cubes. Here's what most of you said you wanted:
- more icons
- a changable background
- more than one contact page
- web favorites
- general information on one side
So I set out with that in mind, MusicFlo has four individual screens.
One for General info which includes:
- a TouchFlo 2 style clock
- notifications for new email, text messages, missed calls, and voicemail
One for programs with TouchFlo style interface (up to 9 pages of 9 buttons each)
One for contacts with TouchFlo Style interface (up to 9 pages of 6 contacts each)
One for Favorites with the ability to take a screenshot of the web page for "Visual Favorites" (up to 9 pages of 4 Favs each)
The configuration is built into each screen. Simply tap and hold to make the buttons start to shake, then tap the button you would like to configure, or tap the background to change the background image and change how many program, contact, or favorite buttons you would like.
This is my first programming work, so please let me know what you think. I am pleased with what I have accomplished. I know it's not much compared to other programs out there, but if you're looking for a simple, fast, non-memory-hogging FREE Application/Contact/Favorite launcher, I think you'll like MusicFlo.
I want to thank up2no6ood for creating the icon style for MusicFlo. Without him the icons would be boring.
Technical stuff:
MusicFlo can be edited directly from the Program, or by editing data.xml in the \Program Files\MusicFlo folder. The very first entry is called "Browser". Change it if you use something other than Pie for your web browsing.
Only add buttons through the program itself. Adding entries in the xml file won't do anything, and it could mess you up later on, so only add buttons (Progs, Contacts, Favs) through the program interface. I'll try and get a YouTube video up later for a walk-through.
ENJOY! I know I am!
P.S. - For quick access I use AEButton Plus to change the long press of my dpad button to MusicFlo.
P.P.S.- Added Icon Pack (MusicFlopng.zip)
P.P.P.S. - To make MusicFlo open with a swipe up (ROMs with Cubes only) move MusicFlo.exe to Windows folder and rename to Biotouch.exe
Update 5/27/08 - fixed functionality for programs on Storage Cards
can i tell u something bro it look sux try some better graphix bro but its features are good this is my review

Not yet. I'll work on it, though. Thank you both for your thoughts. I worked so much on the actual program that the graphics were more of an afterthought. I'll work on those as well.
If you want a hand with the graphics
Very Promising for a first App.
And as you see it's interesting enought to get people offering help.
Looks very nice, I'll definitely be following the development here. I don't have the time to try it right now, but maybe you can give us a quick video on it to show us how smooth it is.
Just dling, looks promising, what I would love and I am not sure if this is possible would be if it could be a today plugin, then I could include it in UL or even on its own. Will post my review after trying. WOOO HOOOO more toys to play with.
Simple and effective!
This application has much potential! I love this ap. Everything you need in one program
seems good but graphices need some development,I will try
not bad functions but looks kinda complicated..
Best part about the graphics is that you can customize it in any way you want. All of the graphic files end up in \My Documents\MusicFlo, so if you don't like it, you can change it! But yeah, if anyone wants to help me out in the graphics dept. I would be grateful.
Also, I just updated the CAB in the first post. People were not able to launch program from their Storage Cards. Fixed. If you've already installed, just download this zip and replace your exe with the new one. That way all of your button changes stay.

I like this applications alot, but I wish instead of the favorites would be a weather, I can totally change all the graphics for u to a real Diamond look but you need to change thesize of the bottom bar and selected icons in ur source code. also I couldnt find the files for missedcall, call history and such, I would like to change those as well. pm me if you wanna work something together.
with poorlyduck's graphics skills , the looks will be unrivaled
Interesting application.
Once the visual style gets pimped up, it'll be a very good htc home replacement.
Sascha
Musicman,
Congratulations. Great start for your first app.
You have offers of help from PoorlyDuck and Oseven on the graphics front so this is bound to be a winner!!
Bookmarked this thread to keep an eye on developments.
Well done and keep going.
WB
does it support vga?
looks good, and is easy customizable not like pointui or mobile shell. But definitly need more functions like weather and maybe some animations if this is possible ?
And what i miss at most is a fullscreen version !!!!
Why is it called MusicFlo if it has nothing to do with music?
a good questionn
where is the music tab !!!!

REQUEST: WM7 Theme for Phonealarm?

Hey, does anyone have or can help me make a WM7 like theme for Phonealarm?
Here's what I have for rlToday. I used the one that was posted here and did a couple of adjustments. What I really want - and I can't do on rlToday - is to integrate the battery, RAM, storage memory, and SDcard memory gauges into the theme. For now, I have it separate under Resco Today plugin and it looks out of place.

**********************************update *****zip file is included in post number 7 ***********
I have my own version.
It is based on phonealarm mixing lots of things, mostly iwise, rockability & littlerain stuff (thanks to them).
It has a bigger clock, with the alarm icon appearing in the middle
On the right side of the clock I have date, digital clock, operator (I have dual SIM), pa profile, and small weather icons + bt, wifi and data icons.
When you click the clock you toogle the screen brigthness (for outdoor instant usage).
I use MVBklight, which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379270
In the normal mode I combine it with todayagenda or spb diary
The skin changes with the profile, so while in the car, the bottom part has also big buttons for the tt7, A2DP bt, the voice recognition, set volume and so on.
You must define the applications in the advance tab in pa.
The list of relationships between icons and apps are:
*Image_AppLink12=quickgps, to update tomtom info ota
*Image_AppLink11=iRadares, great app to download tomtom radars, voices, icons and poi file (spain)
*Image_AppLink13=Voice Commander, the one comming with the cuise as default
*Image_AppLink7=Setvolume0.43: also in this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395695
*Image_AppLink6=BTAudiotoogle, to send the pda voice to the parrot ck3100
*Image_AppLink2=TomTom, that's clear I think.
*Image_AppLink17=WisBar Advance 3 - [Task Panel]
*Image_AppLink9=backlight (m command)
*Image_AppLink19=void, only to support a background image
*Image_AppLink18=void, only to support a background image
There is also a "home" tab showing the weather instead of the analog clock (at home I am not in a hurry and i have the digital clock as always). When I select the home profile, pa changes the SIM to the private one also. The skin is so different because I want to notice that I changed the SIM (the operator does not reflect this always).
There is a "outdoor" tab with no use so far: should be for a specific setting for outdoor and music oriented, with bt settings and a music tab or plug-in but I have not found anything as I want so far. May be you can give me a start on this area.
I usually combine it with wisbar and wisbar desktop to hide top bar and build a wm7 bottom bar
instead of the top bar I have the meters taken from a statusbar skin (sorry I can not recall the author) since I like it more than the ones in I wise. The meters are part of phone alarm skin. Between the meeters I have a windows incon with the wisbar taskmanager,
usually I combine this being the 1st tab of ultimatelaunch: let me recap: phonealarm as a plugiin of ultimatelaunch, being itself a plugin in wisbar.
I can not upload screenshot but if you want me to post the phonealarm skin I will do. As you see it is very customized so you need to be familiar with phonealarm skinning, so if it is useful for you or for anybody else who may also want to help me improve the graphics side....
I can not post the files right now because since my cruise is in the bedroom and my wife is sleeping but I will do if somebody requests it.
btw. the folder is called iwise so if you have this wonderful skin installed (the best wm7-ish for people who do not want to get complicated) you will have to change forlder name and reference in the phonealmarm .skin files. (updated: already renamed to cruiserrr)
I have customized the same skin in rl-today but I like it more with phonealarm since in rl-today tabs are slow as in phonealarm but with phonealarm you get the profiles functionality at the sametime and better than any other program I have tried so far.
I just wanted to answer you since I read your post a long time ago and I was surprised since I did not see any answer today
**********************************update ******zip file is included in post number 7 ***********
Please do post it.
If you go to the PhoneAlarm forum or search here for iWise it is perfect.
Very clean, and nice looking. And it is just a simple cab install. Try to find IWise3 because that was the last one before the dude went crazy and deleted all his posts and stuff.
He has a clean version, professional version and simple version on top of a transparent version. So it basically will meet all your needs.

He is not crazy lol read at the thread what has happened actually and if I were him I would do same things
Btw the skin is not deleted you can find it on pocketmax main page of site..and yes so far that skin is looks same with WM7
cruiserrr skin
Here you are ! The file is below. I have a spanish 6.1. official rom so my sd card is called "Tarjeta de Almacenamiento" and I have windows/start menu/programs also in spanish. May be you have to change something manually.
I have updated the description in the 3rd post above.
The skin is defined with calibri font but I have not included the fonts (I hard reseted some time ago and did not have time to reinstall them, any help to test and add the fond will be welcome).
any help to improve usability with thumbs or to improve graphics is welcome. I have no idea how to make a cab of it.
My wish list to complete my ideal skin would be:
realistic:
improve clock: 1.when clicking to clock most of the times it changes backlight but a few others I still get the change time screen) 2. I think I would like it slightly smaller to give more space to the agenda bottom part.
profile selector: names are not shown completely I do not know why
mail/sms/voice: I ripped the graphics from a jpg file and added the green balloon so they can be better aligned and with better definition.
car buttons: make them more integrated in the style of the skin, and more selfexplanatory
dual sim support: it is supported but I have not been able to benefit from it. I have a single sim with two numbers inside.
unrealistic:
copy+paste tool and hide-top-bar tool with small footprint or included in phonealarm
weather plugin: written sentence explaining today's forecast and ability to define weather should be sync only when active sync'd
clock: different colours and seconds (as in rl-today)
plug-ins: possibility to include plug-ins so they change also with the profile.
profile selection and weather forecast: kinetic scrolling
battery and signal: possibility to show % if wanted and higher area of sensitivity to open details.
apps: possibility to define them in the skin instead of mapping the button to the app and defining the app in the pa settings tool
link to wm6 notifications: I have to open whatever application so that the top bar shows and then check the notification (other than alarms, emails and the rest that are controlled by pa)
multitab: quick multitab functionality when no change profile is defined.
background: may be would be nice to change by profile or by event (missed calls)
Any chance on making this in landscape? It looks awsome!!

robbyr, thanks so much for the compliment !! I have no plans to make it landscape since I only use landscape mode for tomtom and since I have not that much time at this moment but I will happily support anyone willing to try to do it !! The skin files can be opened with notepad and you will see it is not that bad.
In fact it has been difficult for me to build the skin since I can not install any software in my pc so all was done with basic image programs and online converters and try-and-error ...
note: as you know, to completely uninstall the skin is as easy as deleting the cruiser folder and the cruiser*.skin from the pa directory where you have copied it.
thats for qvga correct.. i need vga
Yes, it is only QVGA! I tried to optimize graphics size and I do not need VGA resolution. For QVGA you can double size of all objects and reference to them as coordinates. iWisen is VGA/QVGA since PA is able to handle VGA as QVGA.

Click to collapse
with current phonealarm version you only need to add a line to the skin so is vga compatible. simply add
VGA_Skin=1
to each skn file with a text editor and that should fix it.

WisBar Advance Desktop 2: Release 3 [12/19/08]​
This is ridiculous!! The theme works great, but I can't seem to get it to ya'll right! WTF! Anyways, go back to the 2nd release, if you never downloaded the third, disregard this. Instructions changed.​
For now, the theme will remain as is. Once the update to WAD2 is complete and working, I will rebuild the theme with two extra features, and to make sure there is no error in the theme with the newer version. So, in the meantime, everything works, but if you have any request for the final release, let me know! Enjoy!​
Release 3 added:
Those without Audio Manager installed were unable to launch the theme, shortcut was deleted
Added text to application tabs
Added Video Recorder Page
Removed Voice Recorder shortcut, not all may have, similar to Audio Manager​
I. How do I apply the theme?
1. Download the attachment "WisBar.zip"
2. Extract to the root, "\", of your device
For those that already have this folder from the last release, I suggest creating a new, blank WAD2 theme, set it as your default, quit WAD, then delete the ENTIRE WisBar folder from your device. Don't worry, all the same files plus more are included.​
3. In the "WisBar" folder you'll have two folders, "Project Storm R2", and "Project Storm WAD2"
Move the "Project Storm R2" folder to "\Program Files\Lakeridge\WisBar Advance Desktop\Themes". Leave the other folder in the "WisBar" folder. These files MUST be in these locations to work! Don't worry about memory, sizes are small and it is best to have these on the device.
The reason for the "WisBar" folder is simple, I use this as my general folder for all WisBar items, graphics and others. This includes the WA3 theme.​
4. Open WAD2
Choose Settings, then "Change Theme". If you do not see "Project Storm R2" in the list, choose the option to "Scan for Themes", and it should then appear. Select the theme, and apply!​
II. On with the Show!
I've tried to use all available possibilities with WAD2, simply to have a better theme, and to use it for what it's worth. For those that used the first release, forget it even existed! This one is MUCH MUCH better. If you are new to WAD2, you will be in for a surprise! There is a lot to it, but once you understand it better, the easier all of this will make sense.
WAD2 is simply a "Virtual Desktop", it allows you to place almost any item you would like anywhere on the screen, with any number of screens. This is why this application is the best for this theme. If you have questions, feel free to ask here, we are all here to help.
For starters, at anytime you can swipe down to return home. Also, all shortcuts use default WM applications, this basically means opening contacts will launch iContact, if that's what you have installed.
III. Home Page
This your first page. Everything you need is here. At the top is the "Status Dock", and the bottom are your "General Shortcuts"
The Status Dock includes:
Live Battery Meter
Live Volume Status [Opens Volume Profile Manager]
Your Carrier Name
Live Phone Signal Strength
Bluetooth Status [Toggles BT power]
Data Connection Status
Wi-Fi status [Tapping toggles Wi-Fi power]
Clock [Opens Clock Page]
Long Date
The space below the date is used for the following notifications, only displayed when needed:
Missed Calls [Missed Call List]
Voicemails [Calls VM, you will need to change! Edit the script to call your own VM]
Emails [Opens Email Inbox, ActiveSync by default]
SMS [Opens SMS Inbox]
MMS [Opens SMS Inbox]
The General Shortcuts:
Messaging [Messaging Center]
SMS [SMS Inbox]
Contacts [Toggles Speed Dial Dock, shortcut to Contacts included]
Calendar [Opens Agenda Page]
Browser [Toggles Web Favorites Dock, PIE preset]
Media [Opens Media Page]
Weather Icon [Opens Weather Page, displays Home info]
Maps [Change to what you like]
IV. Applications Page
Like before, tapping the middle, blank part of the screen will open the applications page. This is fixed, so you don't need to look for it! At first, you're brought to the main applications page.
The bottom four are preset to:
Applications [Opens Page 1/3]
IM Apps [1 Page Only]
Games [Opens Page 1/2]
Tools [1 Page Only, Control Panel preset included]
The top two rows can be customized to launch your eight favorite applications.
To change between pages, swipe left/right, but this does not apply to the Main Applicaiotns Page.
ALL grids are set to "Object Grids". This means you can add more than shortcuts!
V. Media Page
This is really just a quick build. Once WAD2 is updated, the tab bar feature will be added here. Those who are unaware of this feature, it is similar to the tab bar of M2D.
Four buttons, these only change page, the large icons are the shortcuts:
Music [Audio Manager]
Photos [Photos & Videos]
Videos [WMP]
Voice [HTC Voice Recorder]
I used to have a second row for more, but I didn't like the way it looked, plus I'm sure majority of us use one general application for each media category. To change, just edit the button to launch the app of your choice.
VI. Weather Page
Fairly simple, forecast for days 1-4 on left, 5-8 on right. All general data is displayed in the middle. All icons and data are for Multiple Cities! This means the data for everything will update when you change the active city. The right arrow chooses the next city, left chooses prev, and maps brings you to a new blank screen. On the blank images page, just add a weather image of your choice.
Tapping the large weather icon will update the info.
VII. Agenda
Full screen agenda page, tapping anywhere on the agenda opens the calendar. Top left notifier displays remaining appt + all day, opens calendar, top right shows due today tasks + overdue, open tasks.
If you use PB or Diary, simply delete the agenda and add the plugin.
VIII. Clock Page
Simple clock page, arrows switch between digital and analog. If you have HTC Home installed, I suggest changing the digital clock to a HTC home style clock, just be sure to choose the location of the images! Alarm clock opens the default alarm application. This page also acts as a screen saver. On sync, this page will open, when done the home page will open.
*CONTINUED IN POST 2*​
*None of these images show the correct WA3 theme!*​
VIIII. Additional Notes
Included in this theme was a folder named "Additional Files", it is located under "\WisBar\Project Storm WAD2". Here you will find several different customized links for you to use as you like.
The following are included:
New Note
New Contact
New Appointment
New Task
New Word Document
New Excel Spreadsheet
Open SMS Inbox
Open Specific Inbox
Control Panel Shortcut
Default email link is set to open ActiveSync, to change, change the properties with an application like Resco Explorer and change "ActiveSync" to the name of your Inbox. This is for the WM default mail application.
A great thing about these shortcuts is they are linked to the default WM applications. This means for example, if you use PI8, and choose, "New Contact", it will open PI8, not the default application.
Users of FlexMail 4, see here, lots of great info:
http://kb.webis.net/questions/57/FlexMail+Command+Line+Parameters
When landscape is complete, those with a 320x320 screen can duplicate the theme files and use the copy for the second direction.
WAD2 Release 4 [Final]​
Not yet completed, just making of list of things that will be changed. Once WAD2 is updated, these will be posted.​
Each App Page will have shortcut to Page 1 [tabs will be shortcut to Main Apps Page]
More Apps Pages [maybe 5 vs. 3]
Lock Page
Tab Bar
Battery Icon [new]
Volume Button [changed, hopefully fixed]
Three Seperate Releases
1. Shortcuts/Speed Dial can be added without entering Author Mode [This means items can't be customized]
2. Shortcuts/Speed Dial must be entered through Author Mode [Allowing more customization to items]
3. Home Page Shortcuts will toggle docks [This means instead of launching email on tap, you will see a dock with inbox specific info, along with the shortcuts to open inboxes and create new emails]​
WisBar Advance 3: Release 1 [12/19/08]​
NO THIS ISN'T POSTED YET!
The idea for this theme is to match the WAD2 theme, and of course the Storm. At first, this may feel a bit odd to use, but after a day or it works great, for me at least. I have REMOVED the Start and OK/Close buttons. Don't worry, the functions are still there, just looks different. Now, you will have to set the order and functions yourself, the theme unfortunately only includes the graphics. Also, you do not have to set your taskbar like this, but I recommend it, because it will match the WAD2 theme, and looks awesome. There is a lot you can add to the taskbar, but by adding too many things, I feel you lose a "finger-friendly" taskbar. I like to have it simple, and display important info.
I recommend the following taskbar order:
Left Aliged:
Battery [Tap: Casc Start Menu, Hold: WAD2]
Window Title
Right Aligned:
System Notification [Tap/Hold: Show Notifications]
Clock: [Choose whatever]
Network [Tap: Clock/OK, Hold: Menu or Switch Window]
Phone [Tap: Clock/OK, Hold: Menu or Switch Window]
You'll notice I say use the Network and Phone Signal with the same functions. This way, it feels like you just have to tap the right corner to close, instead of tapping a small "X". Again, this is just a personal opinion.
Font looks best at 10pt.
Bottom taskbar:
I have included two different themes, one with a glossed bottom bar, and one with a flat black. I really like the way it looks glossed, but some may like the flat black instead. There isn't a lot of focus on the taskbars, more on the rest, like the buttons.

So far I think I'm good. I'm just surprised at how simple everything is, but looks so dang good. The only thing I'm trying to think about is the dialer, and how it can work for all devices. I've only made dialers with Tiermann's creator, which I think is for the Touch only.
Honestly, I've been staring at the first pic for almost 5 min now putting it all together in my mind! I may have to run to the store for some Starbuck's Double Shots !
Thanks for the support, I'll let you know when I'm stuck.
How big is each icon image for the menus? I could try whipping up a VGA skin if the icons are big enough.
go on!
I started this theme two days ago..
here a pic: I haven't resized anything allready so the buttons are bigger than normal for a 240x320 screen..

Once you get the buttons smaller, it should look very good
Are you going to have them link to new pages or directly to apps?
Alright, so I'm finally putting things together, I'd really like to finish this ASAP, since my new replacement device will be here next week, and I hate working with an incomplete theme.
The only thing I know I won't be able to do is a custom matching icon set, similar to the icons in the first pic of post 1. It won't include the background image, just the icons itself. So far, I've set the background to 60px wide, which should leave the icon around 45x45. If anyone would like to help with that, just PM me and I can send you what I've got.
Thanks!
Some screen shots posted.
Definitely blows away what I posted over at lakeridge forums. Terrific work.
JT, i'd like to help you in whatever way i can...
PM me with what you need.. i'll start working on it this weekend.
More screen shots up ! Check post 1 & 2.
Almost complete, just fixing a few things.
Argggggghhhh I need that WAD2 theme!! looks great!
This theme looks great. Good job!
I can't wait until this is done!!!! It looks amazing.

Best Launcher (Today-Plugin)

Hi folks! I've been looking for a good launcher recently. What I need is something like SPB PocketPlus, I like the Tab-Functionality. What I care about MOST is that it works. NO CRAPPY GRAPHICS, be it in Landscape or Portrait mode.
What I tried:
UltimateLaunch 1.2: Bad. Graphics are screwed up easily, captions are cut etc.
SPB PocketPlus: Fantastic graphics, but very little customization
SBSH iLauncher: Great customization features but not perfectly fluid and the supplied icons are very limited. Battery meter sucks in landscape mode (Fade from red to green restarts towards the ending, I suppose after 640px, because they were to dumb to make it work with screens bigger than VGA.
So what I want to know from you is which one you're using and if there are more alternatives. What I need once again:
-Excellent graphics (No bugs!)
-Absolutely smooth (!)
-The more customization, the better
-Many special functions that can be assigned
What exactly do you want to launch, then?
For apps I have Elecont Launcher on one row. You can change the icon size and scroll left-right with the finger. You can set it to launch apps only on double-tap. I think it also has batery, free card space etc, but I don't use that.
For contacts I have Elecont Dialer using one row, works in the same way. Double tap to call, tap and hold to sms, scroll with finger.
Just google them and see if they work for you.
Quickmenu.

What customization are you looking for from SPB Pocket Plus? Personally I love it, and I find it very customizable, especially after investing in the real SPB Mobile Shell, not just the panel.

Especially the color is not according to my wishes, I would like to change it to, say, #0080FF when selected. I guess I might do this with a skin, but hell no, I don't feel like creating a whole skin!
To the others: QuickMenu fails on my device with quite annoying errors. I guess I'll have a look at Elecont Launch, but it sounds familiar to me, I think I've already had it. As for what I want to launch: Programs in the first place. Screen rotation. Settings (CPLs). New Notes. And Send SMS directly would also be nice.
No thanks to Elecont Launcher. Graphics are sooo poor.
Well, it only shows the icons of the programs in the highest resolution possible - be sure to have the last version. What other graphics do you need?!?

But the screenshots look pretty bad. White Pixels around the icons...
I need especially Icons for Tabheaders. I intend to set up following tabs:
Home
Multimedia
Network/Wireless
Programs
Settings
Then of course it needs to have battery and memory meter and inidcators for unread msgs and missed calls would also be very nice (But not a must-have).
No pixels around icons here, but also no tabs. Maybe you need something more advanced, keep looking.

So what happens if you get to many icons? Scrollbar?
Just try it from their site and uninstall if it's not good for you.
http://www.elecont.com/launcher-for-pocket-pc.aspx
If you have more icons it either creates a new row, or the icons stay on one row (if you set it that way) and you can scroll with your finger.

Tried it. I was shocked and uninstalled it again. The selection of items to show is excellent, but that's it. Almost no customization, animation slows down very much, no captions, icons are made of <64 colors. I really don't like it after all. Any other suggestions? Anyone?
Or do you know how to create a direct link to "New Note" and "New SMS"? Or how to change color of the battery meter in the taskbar in PocketPlus?
This Elecont launcher is what I was looking for since I've got Xperia .. thanx man ! Simple, no stupid animation, fast, can launch both apps and settings. I need nothing more.
SPB pocketplus
Actaully pocketplus is pretty nice.
You could move the icons everywhere .
alot of icon packs could be found in the Spb forum
I like simple and clean.
There only 2 today plugins on my today screen
few icons and Iconsoft phone extender.

I really don't get it. I'm to lazy to make a screencap of my Today, but all the icons are taken from the apps they link to in hi-res and with all the colors. They look exactly like in Programs. It's not slow either. If you have Java apps then you'll miss the captions, otherwise I don't see the problem.
ckfamily, I have PhonEx too. But did you notice when you tap it once it always stays in front on PocketPlus, it hides part of my tab... The same for you? What's your config of PocketPlus? Are those tabs on your screenshot? Where have the seperators gone?

Hehe, they are not tabs. I personally hate the separators.
I was able to remove the original separators from today S.
but not for the SPBPocket +
Im using a single tab.
btw..
iLauncher has a option to hide the separators between tabs.

To remove today separator
the cab is not made by me, i found it here.
If you remove all other tabs, there should be no header .
Thank you! Very useful!
BTW: Quickly unpacked the thing and found the relevant setting:
Set HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\HidePluginSeparators (DWORD) to 1 to remove lines (Probably Softreset required).
Okay, now are there any other Launcher suggestions or explanations how to create special shortcuts such as "New Note"?
