Hi, does anyone know how to remove the divider line just above the Comm. Manager and Battery icon in the Today screen. It wasn’t there before but just recently it has appeared. It does not disappear no matter what theme I use. I have also tried using a theme editor but that doesnt give me the option i require. So I was wondering is there some sort of registry edit I can use or something?
This is a FAQ, there's a registry hack on the wiki.

Please read the wiki and search before posting.
sorry am I missing something? I can't find anything in that link that relates to the divider line. I do not want to remove the icons, just the line that's just above the icons as you can see in the pic.
if you say there is a registry hack for this can you post it please. thanks
I understood you wanted to remove all the tray not only the line, don't know of any registry hack for that, sorry.

I installed some software which caused the fonts on the "clock" item on my today screen to become unreadable.
I also miss having the clock on the top toolbar as was the case previously on my xda II
Does anyone know of any software i can purchase that will display the time on either the top or bottom toolbar?
find TBOpt in the registery and change its value from "0" to 1, 2 or 3 for time, or date, or both to be displayed in the top ringh of the screen
John

How can I add or delete an icon on the taskbar?
I wanted to remove the icon for manual screen rotation and I want to add some other stuff.
To remove the rotate screen icon goto the registry,
HKey_Local_Mchine\Services\ScreenRotate
change the ShowIcon Value to 0, reboot and it wont be there.
Thanks carnivor. I tried this suggestion from the WiKi, but this did not work for me:
To hide the screen rotation icon:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ROTATION\HideOrientationUI = 1
I'll try your suggestion. How about adding an icon on the taskbar?
cktlcmd: you want to check out PHM Tray Launch to add icons to the tray. There are other commercial solutions as well. And someone else, I forget who, made one called VJTrayLaunch, but it's not very good or recommended over the other offerings.
PHM's website may be down, but I've attached a zip somewhere in a Wizard thread on pop up keyboards. Prize if you can find it.

Thanks Vijay555. I did found PHM Power Toys which included PHM Tray Launch. I just don't know how to install only the PHM tray launch though. I don't want the other clutter. Here is a link: http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/phmpocketpcpowertoys.shtml
Another question please. How do you use PHM Tray launch?
SBSH's iLauncher puts icons in the tray. Definitely the easiest to use (I found the PHM software a bit fiddly and the icons didn't render well) but you do have to pay for it...

Does iLauncher causes any slow downs on the Universal? Can I install it on my SD card or does it have to stay on internal memory?

I have located the battericon and screen rotation icone removal, anybody know where the wireless connection removal setting is in the registry.
RE
Hi cktlcmd,
To use PHM TrayLaunch
1) Install PowerToys and copy traylnch.exe out.
2) Remove PowerToys if don't require
3) Put back traylnch.exe and run it
One catch. After each soft reset you'll have to re-activate traylaunch. Any attempt to put in StartUp results in icons not displaying its original self ie. 'Notes-like' icons will be displayed instead.
wiki now updated with all three regedits to do remove the taskbar from the today screen. by removing the icons, the bar is gone by default.

Howsitgoin all
I have removed the battery, and the screen rotation tool, but cannot find the reg hack to remove this, any suggestions?
Search the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\WirelessMgr and change the DWORD Keep to 0, soft-reset and voila !!!
Sorry for my bad english ...
Be aware that all you do is hide the icon. The service itself keeps running.
RE
Hey bro,
How do you hide the battery and the screen rotation tool?
Which entries in the registry do I need to alter?

Hi,
pefect to remove all icons and to remove the taskbar.
But If I disable the WirelessMgr and open the WirelessMgr by another icon, which I postet on the today screen, all 4 buttons are grey and I can't start and stop bluetooth / Wireless / Mobile.
How Did you solve this?
I will remove the icon and get more space on today page but I don't want to tun him off.

Although they are greyed out, you can still enable/disable them by using the Settings menu. You will not get a GUI confirmation that they are on/off though, have to depend on the LED's.
it caused me a problem on the original rom, but on the latest rom it works fine for me to activate using an icon, or as I prefer Fn right arrow
GUI ?
Any idea/ workaround on how to get the GUI confirmation that they are on/off ?
OK so since I got such a quick answer on my "spacer" question, I thought I'd try it again .
I have made a shortcut to the today setup in the settings. Only problem is that I need an icon for it. I saw in another post where someone created an exe file just for the icon basically. Could someone explain how to do that.
An alternative would be if I could use the icon from Start - settings - personal - today. But I have Icon Viewer as well as RViewer and can't find it anywhere.
I'd rather be able to use a custom icon, not only for this app but for others, but help on either would be greatly appreciated.
You want to use an icon dll.
Easiest way - download PHM Tools, find the icon dll, download Microangelo on your PC, use librarian, rip out the icons, make your own icons in studio, drop them into the now empty dll, and use that dll as your new icon dll.
In order to use the new icons, you need to know how to specify icon resources in shortcuts. Search against my user name for the word "completeness".

thanks VJ, I'll check it out when I get home tonight.
I also came across this while following a link from aximsite.
The Shortcut Editor was released on this forum first AFAIK
Have a search on our forum.
But have a read through my posts on creating custom shortcuts, it's very easy and will teach you the theory behind the practise.
I think you asked specifically about use of a DLL Icon library. Perhaps not... but it's a useful technique either way.
v
yeah VJ you're right. The aximsite link pointed me here to good ol XDA
Which PHM tool do I need? Is it the shortcuts app in PHM Plus?? I'm beginning to think I'm in over my head here.
TIA
I'm not using any panel or TF3D, and have a few objects (messages, calendar, appointments, etc) on my Today screen.
There are 2 things I would like to change though,
1. Is there a way to make the font color black, instead of white? Can't use any bright wallpapers, because the text becomes unreadable.
EDIT: Solution for question 1, use UI Tweaker http://freewareppc.com/utilities/uitweaker.shtml.
2. Is there a way to remove the horizontal lines between the objects?
Help appreciated!
There are allot of programs hints and tips for customising the today screen on this thread.

Thanks Mark, but I've looked through it already.
Thought someone would give me a quick tip to remove the lines on the today screen.
Seach for Removetodaylines.cab
Thanks FellowEn, but there doesn't seem to be such a file. Tried both search types..
Edit: Think I've found a solution:
The registry edit to remove them are: In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today add a new DWord key with name “ HidePluginSeparators ” and value 1 Soft-reset after the edit.
Will try that and report back later
Edit 2: It works!
