I want to create an icon for Phone Alarm, but as you all know, it is installed as a today plug-in. How can I create an icon of Phone Alarm to be able to activate it immediately without going through the system today plug-in settings?

One way, that is, if you want to create an icon on the Tray...look for PHM_Tray_Launch.

Thanks for the response. I believe Vijay has a similar app, but would it be able to launch a today icon like Phone Alarm?
what program would that be that places an item in the today icons?
thanks in advance

Now you're talking about activating a certain feature, or just launching the app itself?

Basically just launch the app itself.

Try any of these? Tdlaunch is the simplest for just a few icons.

Thanks. I'll look into it.
Is the latest edition of SB Plus compatable with WM6? Anyone using it may kindly share his experience.
How To: add an icon to an exe file

I was able to do this by making a shortcut on the today screen to "\Windows\clock.exe" -launch but there in no icon there...I have been trying to add and icon by 53# "\Windows\clock.exe" -launch?\Windows\clockdll.dll,0 but I guess that is not where the clock icon is?
I am just a newbie but was wondering if anyone new how to add an icon to an exe file? Thanks for reading.
cktlcmd - I don't understand what you're asking for. You want to "activate" phonealarm? In what way? You mean activate its options screen, or add it to the today screen as if you just installed it, or just add an icon to an executable like launching "Contacts" from a button?
Working backwards: generally for making a launcher on the PPC, I recommend claunch. It has issues >= WM5, but is still one of the best launchers.
I also recommend SPB Mobile shell for this.
For adding items to the tray, use PHM Tray Launch. I made an app, but there's no reason to recommend it more then PHM's, which is better.
For adding a today plugin to the today screen, eg to make an icon that will add or remove an item from the today screen, you need to either use a mort script or a registry app and import or remove the necessary registry entries from your Today registry keys.
To "launch" phonealarm, an easy way is to spoof keypresses to the today plugin. Best way to do this if you're not a programmer is to use mortscript to send a key click to the today screen.
Let me know if you needed something else.

Hello,
I want to put a program to the homescreen.
Can any body tell me how to do that?
I have a custom program and i can only start it from programs or the startmenu.
I want to put it on the home screen so that i can start i from there.
I hope someone can tell me that.
Regards,
Peter
You mean, as a Today Plugin?
If yes, well, that's a little more complicated A Today plugin is a DLL, so completely different than an executable: as a first general step, forget about anything else than C++.
For everything else, have a look here.

and here

I think you must use a launcher plugin, like orchid shortcut.

You can use cLaunch or Battery Status to put programs on the home screen.

Home screen with battery status and cLaunch. I used bs to put programs in the bottom system tray, camera, messaging, clear temp, etc. I used cLaunch to put numerous other programs on the home screen. One tap of the program icon will open that program.
I have a little question, how i can add easy shortcuts to the home screen ? I read you do it with batterystatus buth i see not that option there. Thnx for any help
Go to settings->Today screen->Items->Find BatteryStatus->click on it->you'll get "options" button on the right->click it, and find Tray icons tab on the bottom.

Can someone help here maybe, i dont find a solution
I use SPB Mobile Shell and I would like to make it so "SPB Menu" comes up when I press the Start button on the top left hand corner.
Is there a way to do this?
I dont think this is possible, but why would you want to do that, a pop up menu is great in my opinion.
I recommend you to assign the spb menu to one of your hardware keys, like the camera key or something like that,

It is possible - for example QuickMenu can replace the start menu with itself. HTC EnlargeStart Menu does the same. Maybe it needs some kind of registry hack.

I LOVE the SPB Menu and since I use my fingers 99% of the time on my Touch I don't really have a use for the built in Start menu.
I know there has to be a way to do this, I just hope it is a easy one.
I looked through my registry a bit but I didn't see anything that would change this.
It has to be possible.
Is there a way to do a registry dump, perform the HTC Start Menu Tweak and then perform another dump and somehow compare them to see what has changed?
With Wisbar Advance 3 you can map the start button to anything you want.
I installed Wisbar Advance Desktop to play around with when I first got my Touch. I uninstalled it because I didn't like the functionality. After the uninstall I still have Wisbar icons showing up in some of my menu's. There is no way I am going to install one of their bloated products just to do one simple function.
Hi, i am looking for the same Startbutton tweak.
I want to remove the Startbutton AND the word "Start" right to the button.
Wisbar Lite Taskmanager does remove the word "Start".
I'd like to know how this works, and somehow it must be possible to remove or reassign the Startbutton without installing WAD or WA3, a megapackage for only one function.
If someone has the skills to do this and/or write a simple program to make this happen I wouldn't mind compensating them. Either in $$ or Webhosting!
Nothing is being removed in most of these cases, the start button and or title bar is being covered up.

I don't want anything removed, I just want to change the link on the Start menu to point to something else.
bump it up!
I compared the registry with the large menu on and off and this is all I found. Not much help (for me anyway).
BIG START MENU
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\EnlargeMenu]
"DropDown"=dword:00000000
"Enable"=dword:00000001
LITTLE START MENU
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\EnlargeMenu]
"Enable"=dword:00000000
"DropDown"=dword:00000000

He says that it's not a registry tweak... maybe those programs relocate the title bar and put themselves in that positions looking similar with different functions... That is the way that evb used to work fullscreen (relocating the title bar, sip and taskbar)...
I finally gave in and reinstalled Wisbar Advance. I would rather accomplish this without using Wisbar but for now it will work.
Hi There,
If you ever used the "Close Button" plug-in from Spb Mobile Plus you prolly know what I mean...
The HTC Taskmanager looks all nice, I like it, but its only accessible on the Today Screen. Is there a way to make it accessible even when you're not on the today screen?
Sometimes when you're doing stuff you want to "alt-tab" to another program and this is an easy way to do it, or when you want to close another/all other programs.
I hope there's a solution because it really is an improvement to the taskmanager.
me too
sorry, no help here. I can only say "me too". I was actually just thinking about this today. I've had this phone for a few months, and it just today occurred to mr today that you can't close other open programs without going back to the today screen, only option is to "x" button back to today screen or hope that what you seek to close is in your start menu under 'recent items'.
any help or development would be super appreciated, thanks all.
There is a shortcut in the Settings folder in the Systems tab. However, I expect you don't want to go through all of that when you want to use it. As an alternative, you could use file explorer and go into the Windows folder, find the Task Manager program in there, copy it and past a shortcut in the Windows/Start Menu folder. Then it would be on your Start Menu. You would need to remove one other item if you were then over the allowed maximum number of items in there.
Is that accessible enough?
I'd rather not put it in my start menu cus there are other "important" shortcuts in there...
I'd rather have it in the upper right corner...
You could use WkTask
the best free taskmanager there is (not working on wm6.5)

I tried it and I like it, Is there a way to make a backup of my settings?
It seems the program doesnt work as i wished it would. I worked with it for a while and I like the concept alot, but there's a major flaw. Sometimes when I make adjustments to, lets say, my alarm settings (winmo clock/alarms setings), and when I press [ok] the window minimizes (I set the one click to minimize), there's no way you can apply the changes because it will keep on running on the background. If I choose to close it then the changes wont apply. This occurs to many other programs I use in simular occasions when you need to press [ok] to apply settings.
I would still have a solution to the HTC taskbar though. I think I would prefer it over the WkTask taskmanager.
I am new to wm 6.5 and really like the default today's screen on wm6.5. The only thing I wish to know is, if it's possible to add new shortcut in the menu.
From the menu i have a picture tab and can browse the gallery. Same for the Songs. But how can I add a tab (e.g Programs) where i can browse my favorite programs. No need to do Start, and scroll to find the program.
After some google search, I found a home screen customizer but it allows me only to remove unnecessary tab on the default today screen.
Thanks a lot for your tips.
cheers
