Hide buttons on Today Screen possible? - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to hide Bluetooth, WLAN and possibly Screen Orientation button on the bottom right of the Today Screen? I'm hoping it might be possible to edit a registry key to hide these buttons. I've included a snapshot of the screen showing the buttons for clarity.
Thanks for any assistance,
Dav

Ok I have a cunning plan....
I notice that the tweaks2k2 software allows you to hide the Orientation Icon, which works nicely. Now, if I take a snapshot or backup the registry before and after and then compare them, I should be able to see what was changed by tweaks and then add that registry change to my CAB file. Guess what i need now is an app which either backs up or takes a snapshot of a mobile registry... any recommendatiosn most welcome!
Thanks,
Dav

Ok, forget that plan, Google turned up a nice list on this website, didnt realise a lot of this stuff was nicely documented here. Excellent. Simply -
HKLM\Services\ScreenRotate\ShowIcon
ShowIcon = 0; to hide it.
Cheers,
Dav

Help us get this app out of a Wizard!

Over at Howard Forums we have a fellow with a setting that came on his unit that lets him map his soft keys. The thread is linked below. Can anyone help us get this thing out of his unit so other Wizard owners can enjoy it too?

This is just a registry hack.

Actually the setting we are talking about is coming on TMobile Wizards in the UK. It enables a icon in the Settings area called "Softkeys" that allows people to change their softkeys without a registry editor or making changes to the registry.
That is what we are really looking for. Sort of "native support" of changing the keys as opposed to a clumsy registry hack.
Aegeas
Sorry, I meant it is possible to achieve easily in the registry.
If you follow the brighthand thread, it's also included in the upcoming Tweak2k. But if you find the native app, it'll be useful.

Yeah, I don't find the registry hack clumsy at all. I have reprogrammed my buttons several times, and its really easy.
Ok.
Perhaps clumsy was too blunt. How about uncivilized

It's the lock plugin built into the new roms. Check out a solution by me called VJDeviceLock, which was then superceded by another one. Read my short thread, find the link and then use the other app.
However, if you're talking about bluetooth toggle etc, the plugin is PhoneAlarm. It's fully skinnable (at the top)
V
thx alot and what program are you using on your today screen is that wisebar or somoething
gizm0luvsu: bunch of stuff, phonealarm, alarm today, I think SPB weather, VJTodaySpacer and VJEphemeris, all on top of VJToggleToday I.
V
When you use SPB weather does it cost you something ? I mean maybe will it connect first to GPRS to recieve the infos ? Or is it totallt free and doesn't cost anything by using it ?
Vijay,
I love your programs, and I am currently using your bluetooth toggle, and wifi toggle. I am having a problem changing the icons though. I just have a plain folder and that is it. Could you post a Dll, and explain to me how to type it in. I have tried everything and cannot get it to work. please please help

Screen rotate icon?

I've read in the Wiki and in the forums that there is suppose to be an icon on the main screen that allows the user to force the screen rotation. I've tried all the registry hacks I've seen, and I still can't get this icon to show up. I'd like to be able to quickly switch between portrait and landscape mode without sliding the cover. (e.g. While web surfing, some sites are viewed better when in landscape mode.)
Anyone got any suggestions for me?
p.s. I'm on the QTEK1.35.255.2 ROM.
As far as I remember Spb pocket plus is perfectly able to handle this.
Well yes...
Thanks, but I'm looking for a way to re-enable the icon that's suppose to be available in the ROM software already.
If anyone knows for sure if such an icon/feature is not in the QTEK ROM, please let me know!

Can anyone tell me how to change what's in the circles on the taskbar to my own choices, or remove them completely? I'm hoping it's a registry setting?
Also, should there be a clock there in the corner? There is if I go into programs/settings or wherever, just not on the Today page. Again, hopefully a registry setting?
Thanks for any help.
Pffft. Sorted it myself.

Request : Today Separator

Hi
I'm looking for something that allow me to put a separator (black or transparent) in my Today screen.
Here is my current Today Screen :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And here is as I would want it is :
Anyone have an idea about how doing that ?
I tried to add some height to my bottom status icons, but it's not very "nice" (if I click between the Home button and one of the Status button, I actually click on one of these last buttons ...)
Thank you very much, and excuse my english
Install ultimatelaunch
Make one tab with HTC home on it
Set the fixed plugin height to something like... oh, try 190 pixels
try this. its from the LG Prada Plugin. go into settings>today>items>spacer2 and then options on the left hand side. you can set it to any number of pixels you want to go between the two today items. you can then place it where ever you want it on the today screen, and activate it.
Yep, that's it !
Thank you aguas
It's prevent me from installing Ultimate Launch, but than you too xd1936.
