Do you know those lines that split the different sections of the today screen on the Wizard?
My today screen would look so clean if I could get rid of those.
I've looked for a couple weeks and can't find the answer.
Is it a reghack? A problem with a Today theme?
How can I remove those?
Thanks
There's a huge thread in this forum with the subject "My Today Screen"--its got something like 20 pages and growing, but reading though there should give you lots of ideas. I'm no expert, but it looks like there are programs to completely revamp the today screen (Wisbar Advance comes to mind), but I haven't used any of these. Might be overkill for what you want though...

First I want to thank everyone for all the help perfecting my new 8125!
I've searched high and low, and I've found tons of threads showing peoples Today screens, I haven't found a good way to create them. I'm looking for something basic that doesn't take up device memory. On my old Mobile3 device, I could edit the file by hand, but haven't found a way to do this yet.
I'm just looking to be able to change colors, get rid of backgrounds, move items around, and maybe change fonts.
Any advice? Is there a thread somewhere that outlines the process that I may have missed?
Thanks again
Sounds like you want to change the theme of your phone, not add new today plug-ins. Try searching for ThemeGenerator or something like that--it might have the settings you're after.
Is there any FREE today spacer plugins out there. Basically I want some stuff at teh top of my screen and some at the bottom. I'd rather not install Pocket+ just to do this, and my wife will probably divorce me if I get involved with WAD.
I did a bunch of searching and googling and came up with one by scarybear software...but its no longer on their site. i also saw where Vijay said he had somethign he was planning on releasing, but haven't found anything on his site.
TIA
I did that long time ago You can set the size you want
Should work ...
thanks Zendrui, thats exactly what I was looking for.
Look up scary bear's spacer.

thanks VJ, I tried to find that, but all t he links were dead. I searched through his site and couldn't find anythign either.
I wrote a today spacer a long time back, but haven't gotten around to releasing it, since it interops with various of my other apps which I also haven't finished writing.
But I'm enclosing Scary Bear's.

i have looked every where for a a simple but effective today plugin but just cant find what i want. is there anybody here who would make one for me for a donation or show me how to do it myself.....
i have a toshiba 701 with 320x240 non touch screen.
just need:
date / time / network on one line,
then 3 lines of calender,
then last three emails received,
then last text received
with a black background to save battery.
any takers....???
have u looked at batterystatus? it will do everything u want u just need to look into that.
Thank you, just had a look but it has far too many other things. i dont want to see the screen covered in icons - just need my data...
install the default skin and u will see it doesn't have to cover ur screen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=270751 check out this link and u will see it can be one line or more.

Many battery status themes are simple, already created, and easy to try. Take a look at my space saver one on post#666 of the BS Theme thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350510
Also, there are many more nice ready to go themes there! good luck
they are all with touch screens. i have a non touch screen...
there is a perfect one in thread 654 but it looks touch screen and also where do i get it?
Hello everyone. Awesome website, was referred here by one of the lieutenants at work. T-mobile Wing owner. I've owned this thing for going on a month now. I've installed Home Screen/Battery Status and overclocked to 260. I've got PocketSNES and a hundred or so games. Installed one of the registry editors so I could tweak it to access ring tones from the sd card. And a new black colored theme I found while browsing through the forums. Nothing too crazy yet...I'm active duty Army, so I don't have much time for tweaking. I'm working up the courage to start experimenting with new roms.
Anyways, I'm wondering if there's a way to get rid of the fuzzy/whitewashed look that pictures get when you set them as background/wall papers images. I think I remember reading something about that somewhere on these forums, but for the life of me I cant find it again. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Ok, I figured out the picture thing. Guess I shoulda looked around before I asked the question. Just open the picture, "right click" it, set as background, then the transparency menu thingy pops up. I'm sooo glad I figured this out. lol!
NOTE -DOLLARS AVAILABLE TO ANY DEVELOPER FOR THIS PROJECT
I am looking for a developer to write a small utility that will remove the black lines on a Today screen that surround/delineate each Today item. The attached picture should help people to understand what I mean (see where the RED arrows are pointing).
The end result should be that any item seen on the Today screen will not have these black lines, leading to a clean, seamless look.
I was certain there was a registry hack for this; however after 2 months of fruitless searching on here and requests in other threads I have not found what I am looking for.
So what's different this time? Well, I will now pay someone to create a utility programme to achieve what I am looking for.
Interested and able to help? Please PM me.
Many thanks
WB
There's already an application which removes them... I ... crap, can't remember what it is. i'll search for it and let you know unless someone beats me to to it.
Nir,
Thanks. look forward to seeing what you can find.
WB
same as my problème?

thanks advance
It's the utility to change the colors of the today screen, I can't remember either.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=343335
i believe this is it.
hi this tool is awesome I didn't knew it, thanks for sharing
But it is not the tool asked, it is only to change the theme and the entire color of your phone
You could use Ultimate Launch. It doesn't display the lines between plugins.
It offers a few other perks too
All,
Many thanks for the various responses. I have used UI Tweaker several times to try to achieve what I want and while you can change the colour of the lines you can't entirely get rid of them.
As for Ultimate Launch, have also used that as an alternative UI but I don't like it I'm afraid.
The request is therefore still open for a developer to take me up on it unless someone comes up with an existing solution that does the job as I set out.
Appreciate the help so far.
WB
+1, I would be happy too if there is way to delete those lines
maybe i was wrong about UI Tweaker then.. because i KNOW there's an app to remove the lines.. i used one. i'll search again.
Nir 36,
Thanks in advance for looking. Hope you find the item. This has been a very long quest for me.

LOL you.. here? wahou
UI tweaker I try to but not work
yeh
I'm everywhere too ...
Still no idea guys... ?
Yeah. I originally asked here about this on XDA-Dev's about 3 or 4 years ago. The only response that I really received was that the lines are coded in to the shell32.exe or possible gwei.exe [sic]. I know that Wisbar Advance Desktop and a few other programs will remove the lines. However, those programs have a lot of other functions that some people may not want.
Here's my original post from '05.

I can't believe you made your request so long ago and are still waiting for a solution.
I agree with you that all that is required is a small utility to achieve this. Just looking for a talented developer on here to take this on. I am absolutely serious about paying someone to do this so its worth their while.
There are a fair few people who want this so its over to you guys, unless Nir36 finds the tool he says he knows of.
Thanks
WB
I'm sorry, i can't find it. I searched everywhere... so it's one of 2 things.
either i'm senile and i used UI Tweaker, or it's just... gone.
if i manage to find it sometime i'll post it.
I would be willing to give some $ to, If some one would like to make a app, for this.
Thanks T M Z
apparntly i got theme to be "transparent" because my background was black
You can achieve this, if you don't change theme too often and if your theme (TSK) file isn't with draws, with a tool like UI Tweaker from Victor Wong (http://mobile-sg.com), with the excellent ThemeGenCE (PC tools to modify the TSK file or with SKTools (in color tweaks)
Put the 'Today Screen horizontal Bar' at a very close color of your theme... The bars will be 'erased' (you won't see them...)
Hope this helps...
