Lower task bar

I want to remove the battery8 icon and connection manager from the lower taskbar so did a search and came up with this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=46713&highlight=remove+system+tray
which pointed me to this wiki
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Registry
"Remove Icons from the Taskbar
To Remove Battery:
HKLM\services\power\?ShowIcon === change from 1 to 0 (zero).
To Remove Screen Rotation:
HKLM\services\screenrotate\?ShowIcon === change from 1 to 0 (zero)
To Remove the Wireless connection manager
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\?WirelessMgr\keep and change the DWORD Keep to 0, soft-reset
If you remove all three icons, taskbar will be removed and more space on today screen."
So I use my trusty total commander, go to HKLM, go to the services directory but then don't see anything resembling ShowIcon or WirelessMgr. What am I missing here?
BTW, I have a Cing 8125 with Summitters 2.3 test2.

Those tweaks are for the universal not the wizard thats why you can't find the keys you want.
To remove the system tray just delete the init_tray.lnk from the windows\startup folder on your device and soft reset.

Mark, if I delete init_tray.lnk, will that let me use the space for the today screen instead, or is it still "reserved"?
Thanks

Yep will give you more space - make a copy of init_tray.lnk so you can put it back in the future if you need.

Oops, I didn't think to make a backup.. i'm sure someone will be able to provide it anyway should I need it in future.
I have a similar question along the same lines... pocket plus doesnt take up the whole today screen, is there a setting somewhere that i've missed, or maybe a regedit where you can specify the height of the today plugin?

Here is the backup file.
Sorry can't comment on pocket plus don't run that - me a much more basic kinda guy :wink:

Dudes, dudes! You have to try this:

Hi
as already told, you can remove Init_tray.lnk from startup. but be aware - this will make slight problems with software, which places icon in tray (CardExport, Pocket GPS Pro etc).
in addition you could gain more place by eliminating lower bar (with contacts and calender). they will be still accesible through soft-buttons, but will not take place on today screen.
i prefer dciNoBar
http://www.google.ru/search?hl=ru&q=dcinobar&lr=
(sorry, some links are in russian, but i think you will have no problems with finding download link).
if you like the result - you may add this program to startup folder so it will restart automatically after softreset.
BR!

May be you are using some today plugin which height needs to be manually adjusted? in my case this is Spb +

Thats cool then if its possible - probably because i still have phm traylaunch and it stays where it normally is and i want it right at the bottom.
To take a screen capture use xnview download here http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=12698
its under tools\capture - i would be interested to see what setup you have and i will fiddle with mine a bit more - thanks
EDIT fiddled with it and yes - it works!!!! phm traylaunch is right at the bottom now. Nice one mate - cheers! Now I need some new themes - normal ones are not long enough.
EDIT2 can't get traylaunch to stay at the bottom - trying to sort out a workaround!
EDIT3 found a fix to keep phm traylaunch at bottom after softreset - open and shut keyboard and it moves to the bottom - GREAT!! v.v. grateful been looking for something like this for a while!

good prog
thx

Thanks for the updated file.
Find enclosed a screen capture program - you can assign to a hard key.
through settings\buttons
Its only drawback is that it saves in bmp format
EDIT version 0.02 does not seem to work so well - on my device - the soft keys often don't seem to work, i only got them to work once - I go back to the other version.

No soft key buttons
I have put dcinobar into a cab for easier installation.
Copy cab onto device, click on cab, install to device and then soft reset.

VJToggleToday
For those using dcinobar - I have tried Vjtoggletoday and would have to say it works better. You can remove soft keys only, soft keys and start bar or startbar only - have it just the way you like it. Does not have the glitch dcinobar has where you need to open and shut the keyboard

Wm6 System Tray modification

I would like to know please if it is possible to change the Tray shortcuts like Removing the battery icon or modiying it . I know that Tray launcher can add application to tray but it cannot remove the default ones . If someone would guide me on HOW to do it i'll be thankful

Tray icons reg settings.
"dword:00000000" - disable, "dword:00000001" - enable
Power icon
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\Power]
"ShowIcon"=dword:00000000
Rotation icon
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\Rotation]
"EnableTray"=dword:00000000
And wireless icon
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\WirelessMgr]
"Keep"=dword:00000000
Use WIKI and search

thanks dude.

Dang, it's busted for me.
I get a DirectoryNotFoundException when I launch it and I can't seem to find the reason for it.

Worked nicely for me, thanks!

It also works nicely for me. However, I am looking for a way to disable the System Tray and so far, nothing. Have tried most of the reg hacks mentioned here and run into a brick wall as my Dell Axim x51v doesn´t have those reg entries (?!?!?!)
All I want to do is remove the WiFi & BT icons so that the system tray will close. Any ideas folks?

That is because your device uses different drivers for it. However it should not be too hard to find the correct registry entries for your device. Try playing with entries in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\ dir.

Thanks Wexx. Even with the extended ROM visible I only get as far as "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\" before I lose my way. What really *isses me off is that I HAD managed it a while back but cant for the life of me remember how!!!!
Anyway, thanks!

Hide today screen softkeys

Hi Guys,
Im looking for an ez to use app that would allow me to hide the bottom softkeys on the today screen but keep them active without having to do reg tweaks. I've searched high and low but no luck. Thanks.

Hi. it's not workin in wm 6.5, it just hide the softkey text, not the whole bar, any solution?

[REQ] Remove bottom menubar!

I could easily give some money if someone could make a program for making the bottom menu bar to hide and pressing like the big round bottom on phone would make it visible again. It would give alot more screen space for alot of programs, like writing sms etc.
It would be really great, I bet alot of people would like it to and also pay for it!
thanks

Great
It would be really good removing it, having more screen space like opera when browsing it goes to fullscreen and pressing on the screen will make the bar's and menues apear again. Something like that would be great for the rest of the phone!

Ok ill give 200sek for the one that fixes this mod!
hiding top and bottom menus! And makes them appear when wanted!
Questions? ask!

you can do that with vjtoggletoday (www.vijay555.com) and a tool for setting registry keys (the guy who has written batterystatus has also written such a tool).
create a lnk file with the desired settings and map it to a key. that should do it. but you only have one key available to map (long end key)

I've seen that toggletoday thingy but i think its for wm5. I've tried installing it but nothing happend.
Thanks thou!

hi guys, I wanted to just remove the bottom bar like u guys and found this software from some site. Dont know where actually.. But it works on my Diamond.
It just removes the bottom bar.

Nothing happend with that cab. I did a soft reset but didnt help!
thanks anyway

same here
doesn't work with my touchflo
also tried a softreset
tried to install it with touchflo disabled
and when i enabled it ..... nothing
(also tried the softreset afterwards)
any sugestions ?
reg references ?
(maybe's there's is a way to just remove the black bar (as was done with the curtain remover) and leave the buttons intact ?
(that would be the next best thing for me)

I'd rather hide the menues completly. It would be really nice having a full screen phone. Now it looks more like a pda

vjtoggletoday works also on wm6. make sure it is the alpha2 version.
you can use the attached zip file. put the autorun lnk file into your windows startup folder and configure this utility before soft-reset.
advantage of vjtoggletoday is, you can define how much of the bars' height should disappear.
another app is dcinobar which hides the bottom bar only

I dont know what that apps did to my diamond. Im not setting that on autorun! And the config file how are you suppose to config it? When neither of them starts?

by the way: both apps (i have attached dcinobar to my post above) only hide the bars on the today screen only. the bars do not disappear if you run an app.
if this would help you to some extend, i'll give you a step-by-step instruction for vjtoggle.
dcinobar is easier. just run the tool.

Have you tried them on a diamond? Cause the dcinobar did nothing on my diamond.
And the other program i think i will need a step by step guide
Thanks mate!

dcinobar works definitely on diamond. i am currently using it myself.
as said. both programs only hide the bar on today screen.
dcinobar: just copy the exe file to \windows\startup\. softreset. that's it.
vjtoggle:
copy the vjtoggletodayiialpha.exe to \Program Files\vijay555\
(if you keep the directoryname, you do not need to adjust the lnk files)
copy the vjtoggletodayAutorun.lnk to \Windows\StartUp\
copy the VJ Toggle Config.lnk to \Windows\StartMenu\Programs\
now run the config tool and set the values to 0. the config tool only sets the registry keys which are being used by the file in the startup folder.
alternatively you could do the settings yourself:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Vijay555\VJTodayToggle]
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"SoftKeySize"=dword:00000001
"StartSize"=dword:00000001
"TrayVisible"=dword:00000001
in this case the top and the bottom bar will have the size of 1px (just in case you still want to access them )
soft-reset.
if you do a soft-reset i would recommend to switch the phone off (long press on the button on the very top of your diamond).
if this is not working, you are definitely doing s.th. wrong as it works on my diamond.
post here if you need some more help.

vjtoggle:
copy the vjtoggletodayiialpha.exe to \Program Files\vijay555\
(if you keep the directoryname, you do not need to adjust the lnk files)
copy the vjtoggletodayAutorun.lnk to \Windows\StartUp\
copy the VJ Toggle Config.lnk to \Windows\StartMenu\Programs\
now run the config tool and set the values to 0. the config tool only sets the registry keys which are being used by the file in the startup folder.

the space available for today screen will increase. the today screen is not stretched by the size you gained, you 'll have more space available.

SecondToday and HomeScreen ++ failed to install

Hi
I have a problem.
I want to install secondtoday and homescreen ++ (both the latest versions) on my Touch HD. But as soon as I start the cab the installation stops and it says that cab couldnt be installed.
Does anybody know why this happens?
Thanks in advance!

I don't know about homescreen, but I just installed SecondToday 0.40 and it works fine. I'm not sure, but perhaps it requires something else like .net3.5 (which I've loaded) to work. I've attached the .cab that I used.

Ok, thanks a lot! I could install it! Strange, I used the file on the homepage of the developer.
Can you tell me how I can insall Icons on the secont today screen? Now it is all empty. Under start -> settings I see a second today icon but I cant open it, is it normal?

just hold your stylus down on the blank screen for a few seconds, and it will pop up the configuration page.

Hehe thanks man! I managed to set up some infos on the second today screen. I also see the battery status in % in the upper bar. But always when I am leave the secondtoday screen by pressing the left softkey "Today1" to return to the touchflo today screen the battery status in % disabbears in the upper bar. Only if I leave the second today screen by clicking on "ok" in the upper right corner I can leave it without turning of the % battery status.
So my question is:
How can I set the phone up to be able to always see the % in the upper bar also when I leave the secondtoday by clicking on the softkey "Today1"?
And is there a chance to change the battery icon in the upper bar? Right now the layout is sort of crappy. The %-show and the battery-icon are overlapping.
Ascenca

Got it by myself
Does somebody know how to chance the icon of the battery in the upper taskbar? Dont like the look of the standardone (without colorchange when batterycharge lowers). Somewhere in the xda forum I saw a todayscreen in which the battery-icon changed his look while the charge lowered (green to yellow to orange to red or so).
Hope someone can help! Thanks!
