[new release] VJTrayLaunch - tray icon launcher

Guys,
This is just a simple Tray icon launcher. I recommend you use the one in PHM tools, but if you've had any troubles with that one, try this.
It's just a spin off from the VJBigPhone project, so it's yours to use!
Basically install the cab. It will install two example shortcuts in your startmenu.
Usage is just by making a shortcut to VJTrayLaunch, copying the path and name of the program you want to launch, and appending that to vjtraylaunch.exe, eg
"\program files\vijay555\vjtraylaunch\VJTrayLaunch.exe" \windows\notes.exe
Note, no speech marks required in the program you want to launch.
At this time you can't specify parameters for the launched program. However, if required, make a shortcut to the program, specify command parameters there, and then use VJTrayLaunch on that.
In this way, using VJPhoneTools for example, you can place a phonecall directly from the tray, or send your wife an SMS with one click.

nice job vijay!!! special thanks to you!!!

Thanks Vijay...Works a treat

VJ > Is this WM 5.0 compatible ?
Edit : Sorry I find the answer on your website "WM2003 and WM5 compatible." :wink:

Hi,
is there a way to add an icon into Today Tray, for launching the "Programs" window?
I've tried the parameter "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs", without success.
It says doesn't find 'Programs'. I understand why, but maybe there is an alternative way!?
Also some added icons added at Tray, show the "notes" icon.
Why? Is possible to fix it somehow?
Thanks and best regards
Fernando Correia

Conchas: I'm not really sure how to open the programs menu at a specified page. I've never looked into it, I guess we'll have to check out the hex to see what .exe is used and if it takes command line parameters.
No idea about the notes icon! Are you using the full path correctly? I had a quick look at the code but can't see why it would be using it. I know it sometimes displays some odd icons if you don't use the full path correctly, but it has no relation to notes.exe internally...
Anyone else having this problem? What exact command line are you using?
V

Yes, I'm using the correct and complete path.
"\Program Files\vijay555\VJTrayLuanch\VJTrayLaunch.exe" "\Program Files\NoviiMedia\NR Deluxe\NR Deluxe.exe"
At least is completes succesfully and once taped the icon at Today Tray, the NoviiRemote is launched correctly.
Just the icon appears as if it was the "Notes" program.

Conchas: does it work ok with other apps, eg calc.exe?
You shouldn't need speech marks on the app, eg
"\Program Files\vijay555\VJTrayLuanch\VJTrayLaunch.exe" \Program Files\NoviiMedia\NR Deluxe\NR Deluxe.exe
If you can, still have problems, send me NR Deluxe.exe so I can have a quick look at it.
Thanks!
V

This is great program
Thanks Vj
I m going to play around with this for a while, I'll let you know if theres any problem

Great!
It was launching the application correctly anyway.
I used the speech marks because of the space inside the executable name.
After removing them as your sugestion it either launches the program as the icon displays correctly as well.
Can you yell where to tweak these tray icons (Registry!?)
I would like to configure the order they appear.

conchas is the icon working ok now then?
i'm afraid it is not possible to change the order of the icons externally, just by loading vjtraylaunch in the order you want the apps displayed.
in time I will work on the "tabbed" version and that will permit precise control of icon position.
v

Yes, icon it's workin properly now.

i want to put the Settings-System-Memory icon on the tray, but don't know what .exe file should be run.
how could VJtraylaunch do this?

Try this one:
http://www.vijay555.com/vj/Releases/VJTrayLaunch/memory.lnk
or just copy this text into notepad, save as memory.lnk, and use VJTrayLaunch
24#ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,4?\windows\DIM.exe,0
let me know how it goes.
I'll update this app quite soon. Had some good ideas..

Didn't work. There's a error window popup. See attached bmp file for details. Also note that the shortcut icon next to it is different from others.
i have 2 files created:
1, memory.lnk, as you mentioned, contains the following texts and be placed under the \windows folder.
24#ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,4?\windows\DIM.exe,0
2,VJTrayLaunch Mem.lnk, in the same start menu folder as other shortcuts,
73#"\Program Files\vijay555\VJTrayLuanch\VJTrayLaunch.exe" \windows\memory.lnk
p.s. i don't know what the leading "73#" means:-(
any idea?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The 73 is supposed to be the number of characters following the "#". As far as I've ever been able to figure out, this is ignored entirely, though. I usually set my shortcuts to lead with 32 or 64 or something.. depends on the position of the planets I guess %)

i make several try and found that this tray launcher can't launch any "shortcut of shortcut", that means only .exe files could be launched as a tray icon shortcut, not .lnk files.
anything wrong?

RE
Hi vijay555
Thank you very much. I've been looking for such a simple traylaunch program for a long time.
Just a request. Can this program be made just like any launcher program where it allows the user to specify the Target location of the program (in this case the exe file)? Well, command line input can be an option.
HandyLauncer, which I'm using, is a good example although it does not have traylaunch capability.
It would be so much simpler
Many thanks

RE
Ooooops.....found a problem
Apparently, after a soft reset the icons in the tray disappeared. I've to reactivate them in order for them to appear
Is this a bug?
I'm using QTEK9000 (aka Universal)
Thanks

FOSA: if your place your shortcuts in the \windows\startup folder, they'll reappear I guess! They're only shown when you launch the VJTraylaunch configured .lnk files.
huangyz: I think I was probably trying to be too clever: I specified the dim.exe file to give you a nice icon. The file the icon comes from, \windows\DIM.exe should be in your windows folder. If it's not, that could be part of the problem.
Shortcuts to shortcuts do work in VJTrayLaunch, so you can specify a .lnk as the target. I've tried the memory.lnk I hosted on my website, here:
http://www.vijay555.com/vj/Releases/VJTrayLaunch/memory.lnk
If you right click on that and save it to your PC, then activesync it to your PDA, put in your VJTrayLaunch folder, then prepare your VJTrayLaunch shortcut. I find the best way to do this is click on the memory.lnk file in gsfinder, and then choose menu edit > copy path.
Then, create a shortcut to VJTrayLaunch, edit the properties of the shortcut, go to the end of
"\Program Files\vijay555\VJTrayLaunch\VJTrayLaunch.exe" and then do ctrl+v on your softkeyboard. This will paste the path to memory.lnk in for you.
Just FYI, in your example:
73#"\Program Files\vijay555\VJTrayLuanch\VJTrayLaunch.exe" \windows\memory.lnk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
you spelt VJTrayLaunch wrong - VJTrayLuanch. Is that the problem?
All: I will work on two major improvements to this very simple app shortly:
1. Dialog to browse for files and specify command lines.
2. Configuration files to permit multiple tray items.
Ridiculously, I haven't had time to learn how to input a text file and split it into lines. Split() in vb used to be a favourite of mine... but I'll do it shortly. If anyone's got any example code to input and output to xml or a text file, splitting into an array, I'd be grateful, it'd save me time writing from scratch.

Change the "Name" value to "Opera"
Change the "path" value to your opera shorcut path "\Windows\Menu Démarrer\Programmes\Opera Browser.url"
If you want to change the icon too, there is two way:
1. Change the "IconPath" value with the path to a new icon
or
2. Replace the .png file AL_02.png in \Windows with a new one (don't forget to save the original one.
I used the first choice : "\Windows\AL_opera.png"
You can download this icon here :
www.cyrilp.com/AL_opera.png
Then you should change the IconPressPath too with a specific icon.

Edit: i just made some new icons that you can download here:

Edit:
Here is the PSD file with all the layers so that you can do your owns:
www.cyrilp.com/touch.psd
Take care, each row of icon is more or less bright: light gray on first row , dark gray on last one.
They are 3 different groups of layers to use depending where you wanna put the icon.
The Highlighted version is the same for all.

nice going cyrilp, i've too manage to replace my favourite Opera Icon using your method #2 , but each time the cube slide to others page my default Icons (Globe) will be seen. i shall try your #1 method.
Cool...

Excellent hack...good work. I download the beta mini 4 version yesterday but it's poor on the Touch, the damn keyboard is permanently on the screen!!! I love Opera but it has one massive flaw....you can only use it through WAP (per second charge) and not through any data bundle you may have on your phone line. I had the same shorcoming when running on my BlackBerry.

I don't use Opera Mini but Opera Mobile

Hmm... Do you think if we add another 'ApLouncher' key to the reg, a second App launcher page can be created? Any brave soul out there want to give it a go and report back? hahaha Would be nice if you can just add pages and put all apps there

thanks
great job.
I also wonder how to chang path of the picture shortcut in the 3D menu to Resco Photo????
anyone please

Media hub Mini
I try to change media page on the 3D menu/Biotouch which include of Music, Picture and Video by going through

[TaskBar ICONS] Task Manager Icon Registry Value & Ver 2.1.35096.200

I found the registry values that effect the Task Manager Icon.
Code:
HKCU:Software\HTC\TaskManager
LauncherUp
LauncherDown
LauncherIconSize
I am not sure as of yet how to edit this to change the Icon. Normal it's Binary, I tried putting a string linked to a bmp/png for the Up/Down values and the Icon becomes solid White;
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

}
How to change The selector color of the Task Manager Drop Down;
Code:
HKCU:Software\HTC\TaskManager
ManilaCustomHlDown = DWORD
ManilaCustomHlUp = DWORD
In Photoshop use Web Color Slider to pick the color you want. You'll get a Hexadecimal value (000000-FFFFFF). The blue & red need to be reversed as in PhotoShop it's RGB, but the registry reads it as BGR. Also you need to convert the Hexadecimal value to Decimal.
Red is FF0000, Reversed is 0000FF, & & Decimal is 255.
Blue is 0000FF, Reversed is FF0000, & Decimal is 16711680.
Green is 00FF00, no need to reverse, & Decimal is 65280.
I also found a newer Version of the Task Manager. The attached cab is edited (See ScreenShot);
My TaskBar Icon Rev.3 can be found HERE.
I'll update when I figure out more...

Just figure out how to get Solid Task/SoftKey Bars back in Titanium & Start Menu. Make your stwater image full screen size & put the bar image at the top & botton of the image like the attached examples.
Screen Shots of the result;

Ah ha,StWater looks great.
now something about TaskManager:
It seems that Taskmanager directly draw something on the screen,
and the icon's shape depend on the reg key,but not a picture,right?
So I just wonder if we can edit the reg key to make the icon show in BrianTaskbar style.

Exactly what I am hoping. It seems the image is embedded through the Binary registry Value, but how to convert an image to Binary. I tried that already & failed causing a required Hard Reset.
On another note, an older version of the Task Service DLL has a Icon image & can be changed. I've done it, but the older version causes the new Task manager to bug out. Also you loose Large Icon support for the QuickMenu.

The new version doesn't use icon graphic
just a binary code to point where to draw.
I think this binary code may point the position where should be draw white color
and only WHITE color is allowedl,maybe we should call it blank insdead of white.

No problem, trying to hex edited the taskservice.dll. Hopefully this doesn't cause the need of hard reset lol.

I'm looking in my registry and all I see is launcherUp and LauncherDown. When I add dwords for ManilaCustomHlDown and ManilaCustomHlUp, it still doesn't change. Is the cab file posted by the OP special?

You need to soft reset after changing the registry.
The registry DWords should be 255 for the Red.

Yea I got that part. I'm converting it to a package and cooking it in. I see it has new graphics and such, which I don't much like. Looks are subjective to my opinion but I favor the simple graphics. The old packages didn't allow for the faded colors or editing the color to the best of my knowledge. To this date, this install is the only one what allows this which is why I was having a hard time at first.

Just do a google search for HTC Task Manager with the build #35096. The original unedited version exists on some other site. That's where I found it. I just put my icons in it & changed the highlight color from the default HTC Green to my Red.

Hum, interesting, the new packages from the HTC Mega have a Task manager version of 2_1_19163929_14 while the other version I found is 2_1_35096_200. I wonder which one is really newer. The Mega one says copyright 2006-2009 while the one I found says 2006-2008. Either way I'll convert the Mega ROM dump version to a CAB shortly.

Ah ha,StWater looks great.
now something about TaskManager:
It seems that Taskmanager directly draw something on the screen,
and the icon's shape depend on the reg key,but not a picture,right?
So I just wonder if we can edit the reg key to make the icon show in BrianTaskbar style.

WM6.5 Settings Menu structure

Hi everybody,
I've asked in other forums, but with no answer , maybe here... .
How to change structure of Settings Menu in WM6.5? I want to move "Today", "Clock & Alarms", "Bluetooth" etc into folders (Personal, System, Connections):
Screenshot is from polish WM6.5:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Or where in WM6.5 I can find the Settings structure? I can find it neither in registry nor in files in /Windows folder .
Sorry for my English

...hope this helps:
1. Open registry using any registry editor
2. everything is in HKLM/Control Panel
3. Select the setting you want to move,
let say you want to move Clock & Alarms to Personal setting,
go to HKLM/Control Panel/Clock,
under Clock, change the value Group to 0
4. Repeat step 3 for other settings you want to move
Here are the values of Group
0 = Personal
1 = System
2 = Connections

Perfect
Thank You, bajok!. It Works!
By the way, it's amazing: Poland - Philippines, half an hour, and the problem is solved...
Thanks! See you

BTW, to move a control panel to the top level, use a value of "-1" (0xffffffff in hex).
I do have another question about this...
Not all Control Panels are defined in the HKLM\ControlPanel registry key. For example, you can add a regular program to the Settings by putting a link to that program in \Windows\Start Menu\Settings. So, how do you move that program to one of the other Settings groups?
As far as I can tell, anything that's in the Start Menu\Settings folder goes in the "System" tab of Settings. Is there a way to move it to Personal or Connections?
Furthermore, there are other Control Panels, mostly 3rd party software, that are also not defined in the registry. Any control panel with a .cpl extension in the \Windows folder will ALSO go in the System tab. I'm trying to figure out how to move them as well.
Finally, does anyone know how to define a new icon for these Control Panels? If a control panel is defined in the HKLM\ControlPanel registry key, you can, in general, create a corresponding link in HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Settings and add the icon to the Control Panel's key. But, if it's NOT already in the ControlPanel key, does anyone know how to add it to the Start key? I don't know how you're supposed to define it in the first place.
I've looked all over the web for any of the above information, but, so far, I've been stymied! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Based on the name of this thread, I think you'll have to create a different one! Seriously, while the basic structure is the same, there are enough differences to warrant a different discussion.
For example, WM6.5 uses an entire registry tree to define icons, while WM6 and earlier use the icon.lnk method. There's absolutely no overlap there, although I suspect the structure of the Control Panel tree is the same.

Shortcut (or app) for opening the control panel?

I'd like to have a shortcut or an app that would open the control panel (the settings window).
Is it possible?
Thanks.

There are third-party programs available for this. Search controlpanel.exe and you may find one.

Thank you very much. It works, and the functionality is great.
The only problem is it seems to have been made for lower resolution screens. The icons look a little bigger that they should, and most importantly, the font size seems to be twice larger than it should.
Is there a way to tell the thing to use smaller font?
Thanks.

Yes you can use Reshacker ( on your computer ) and rezize the icon by editing the exe .

No, I mean control panel applets inside the Settings window have 2x the normal size font, and slightly larger icons. I don't care about the icon size that much, but the huge fonts are a little annoying/hard to read ("Advan..." instead of "Advanced Network").
Here's an example:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"

Any way of doing this for the backlight setting?

If you mean to open a control panel applet in charge of backlight settings, this is quite easily done with simple shortcuts. I don't know how to open a particular tab, but the shortcut should read this string:
command line string - "\windows\ctlpnl.exe" cplmain.cpl,3 (on modern devices, I think).
I create shortcuts by this procedure:
1) download and install Total Commander: http://ghisler.fileburst.com/ce/tcmdpocketarm.cab
2)Start Total Commander and browse to \windows\ctlpnl.exe, select ctlpnl.exe, click File/>>>>>>>/Create Shortcut, chose "\" as destination.
3) Browse back to "\", select ctlpnl.lnk, click and hold, choose Properties, go to Shortcut tab, modify Target to look as the command line string I wrote before.
4) Click and hold on ctlpnl.lnk, and choose rename. Rename the shortcut to "Backlight.lnk" or "Power.lnk" or whatever you desire.
5) Select power.lnk, click and hold, choose copy/move, then Tree, navigate to \windows\start menu\programs, do "move".
Now you should have a shortcut to the power applet in the program list. It contains the backlight tabs.

Thanks. The shortcut is wrong for WM6.1 but I got "Powerexe.exe to work which takes me just one tap away so that's good enough for me.

It appears that cplmain.cpl,3 will open powerexe.exe on my Sprint TP2. Using cplmain.cpl,3,2 does not open the backlight tab though. I haven't seen anything on the web about powerexe.exe accepting command line parameters for opening different tabs though.
It's unfortunate when developers, who have a simple and consistent mechanism for doing certain things, decide to change it and lose some functionality at the same time.

well that's weird. I have a telus TP2 and cplmain.cpl,3 doesn't work...scrathes head.

Anyway...
Is there a simple way by any chance to make a wm6 app change the icon/text size?
(I tried disassmebling and understanding how it worked, and failed miserably - having no prior knowledge of the cpu and os architecture, that was to be expected.)
