Question about ok button top right

hey i have a herald wing mobile 6 and i use agile messenger it has a x in the top right corner, that is the only program i want to always run. is there a way to change it to a ok button so it minimizes? without changing the x button feature. almost like some program that allows you to always keep open a program you pick? thanks

You can use Start->Today function to keep it running on background. Put a shortcut in Start menu for the program you want to switch again and again.
Ok button means it will accept the changes anyhow if you will change it by mistake even you have to live with it. The X button means it can be closed but you have to use X-Button utility to enable the closing feature.

dont you get the little htc task manager then? that does exactlly what you want, tap x to minimise, tap and hold to close, it works very well

Make PointUI default everythign

is there a way to make point UI like the default of everything. When i press the red button on my touch, it goes backto WM desktop. IF i want to use this as a normal "skin" then it needs to go back to the homescreen when presing the red button, and only going back to normal WM desktop when i manually do it???... Also how do you stop programs w/in pointui home. it just says currently running, and how do you stop those progs?

Perhaps you should ask this on the PointUI forums?

Use third party X-Button,Task Manager or Resco to close program when you back to WM desktop. You can close programs with 1.01b but still quite a bit steps. It does not fall back to Home screen is still no get around yet. Same if you lock the device but if you press the power button, it will unlock. This UI has not worked all bugs out yet.

Tap on the arrow on the lower screen of PointUI Home
-> Currently Running
-> Select your desired application
-> The program opens with the PointUI titlebar
-> Tap on the name of the application
-> Force Close
Then youre on your Desktop again. Tap on the title "Desktop" and select "Home" again.
Yes, quite a lot steps, but I'm already used to it
Greetings and have a nice day

Opening the Calender during a phonecall

i'm in a phone conversation, and someone asks me if I'm available on a certain date, i would want to check my calendar to see if i'm available.
i wanted to do this yesterday but after looking for more then a minute (while the call was open) i gave up.
does anyone know how to do this or even if it is possible???
(so open my calendar during a phone conversation)

pin it to the start menu

push hardware home button. then hit calendar on home screen. hit call hardware button or phone status in task bar on touch screen to get back to dialer screen.

I have the calendar in the start program. Everyone by default also has the "Today" on line one of the start menu, which will minimize the phone, take you to home screen, and allow you to open Tasks (or in your case, calendar). Finally, use the close button (X in upper right) to close the phone. It doesn't disconnect the phone.

thx for the replies guys!

X tab on Contacts

As in the title, the X tab on the contacts program doesn't work: it close the window but the program is still open in the task manager. Anybody noticed this?

The "X" doesn't close programs, it's like the "_" in the upper right corner of XP. It just hide the window. But try a Long press on the "X" (couple of seconds) and the program closes.

This is partially correct: I've set in the options of Programs Usage/Button that the "X" close the programs with only a short tap (instead of a long push). It's ok for all the programs except for Contacts that doesn't close!

Strange, I tested it on my HD before I posted the answer and it works but I haven't set the option to close with a short tap.
I guess contacts doesn't close with the long push either?

Straight to comm manager

I've searched like hell, wiki and all, but can't find a way to do this.
When I click the signal icon in the top bar, the system status screen appears, which is fine, but then if I click the signal icon on that screen it closes and then a notification icon pops up to show me the signal status in a bubble.
Is there any way to go straight from the system status screen to the comm manager? rather than the really long way at the moment?
I'd be really happy if there was a third party app which took the system status screens place with more detailed info and comm manager in one.
hope someone can help.

I don't know if it will solve your problem, but I simply added "Comm manager" as shortcut in the start menu. (2 clicks to comm manager)

I found that if I mapped the CommManager to the 'press and hold' call accept (green phone button) in the 'buttons' section in settings, then its nice and easy to load and it doesn't then matter where you are in your phone you can always get to commManager quick and easy.
I used to have this button mapped to use the camera, this is so I had a hardware camera button but the delay is too much to live with for me.

Hi,
Thanks for the tips, I know you can just assign comm manager to a button, but I was hoping there would be a more technical way to use the system status screen to go to the comm manager.
I already have on of my buttons mapped to rotate.
Thanks

Use Ae button plus (i am using it to turn on-off wifi with a double press on the vol up button)
or
edit the registry so you assign the commanager to your left softkey @ homescreen (you can use HD tweak or Advanced config tools).

instead of doing that to get to comm manager why dont you just
press home
slide to settings
load comm manager
its like button, slide, tap, less than 1 second and you can do it with one finger or your thumb while holding your phone in the same hand

tap start , tap comm manager. your there

Personally I feel 'Tap Start , Tap Comm Manager' is probably the best route to take but if you want to map a button to comm manager use AEB PLus
For example if you want you could use the Volume Up button to run Comms Manager as well as volume
Simply set Single Tap to run application and Double Tap for volume or whatever button & configuration you prefer
You have a choice of buttons to use and 3 option for configuration i.e. Single Tap, Double Tap & Hold Button

Well thanks for all your suggestions they are good ones, but as always me being very picky, I was kind of hoping there would be registry hack to allow me to do it from the system status, in my opinion this wouold be the more TF3d integrated solution allowing me to go to the comm manager just as pressing the volume button takes me to the volume controls.
It just a little illogical the way it shows the notification bubble instead of taking you to the comm manager.
What would be really great is a more advanced syatsm status screen showing all the connection info on it, such as wifi signal strength and status, data status
all icons with the ability to click on and go to comm manager.
I'm guessing this is probably just me, but I think that would be great.

Start-Settings-System-Touch-FLO, untick the Show System Status screen checkbox.
At least that cuts out one unnecessary step..

hmm I don't really think that qualifies as solving my gripe as it just disables the system status menu and that doesn't fulfil any of my wish list.
Ok well if I can't get it to work with the touchflo system status screen is there a way to change what program is launched on the click of the task bar? That way I might stand a chance of making or finding an app that does what I want.

doesnt the new htc notification thingy replace those bubble pop ups with a full screen finger friendly screen?
i dont know cos i havent installed it...
then clicking on the icon would take u to take screen to load comm manager

I downloaded WKTASK, you can find it on this site, which places an icon of all open programs on the task bar. Open Commmgr the first time and then leave it open on the task bar. Next time you need it one tap brings you there.

wktask looks cool thanks
