I've downloaded and installed the HTC Home v2.0 and the X-out plugins (and the customizer) and I really like them. I can't seem to get the battery strength icon to show in the upper right hand corner on the Start bar, though. It just shows at the bottom, where I have to scroll down to see it... I've tried playing with the DWORD ShowTitleBarBattery with value 1 in the registry entry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell -- but that just puts is on a separate line at the bottom, not in the upper left corner... Sprint and HTC support have been no help at all, of course... It seems that Sprint only ever shows it at the bottom, and HTC won't support their skins or hacked apps on another platform, but every picture of the Touch home page that I have seen shows a battery indicator in the upper right hand part of the screen.
Ideas? Thanks!
if it helps...
I use a small (70k) program called Magic button. It makes the X close programs, gives you a Windows XP type taskbar, and has the option of adding a battery bar, that runs left to right on the very top of the screen.

Doesn't seem like you can have both. I'm new to this stuff, and I was able to do it with CERegEditor. Good luck
You're correct...you can either have the clock on the Today screens and the rest of the screens, or have the battery on the Today screen and the clock on the rest.
Hmm, I can't get it to work - keeps defaulting back to the clock, which I don't need, since I have HTC Home.
Got it!
Perfect! Thanks!!

Hello:
Anyone know hoe to put application shortcuts straight onto the today screeen??
I already have claunch for myself, buy am setting up a simple system for mum on an older unit. I was hopinh to get a shortcut to the simpler apps like contacts straight on the today screen.
I know if you install tomtom you get an option in the today list to show tomtom on the list - This is similar to what I want (but not tomtom)
any ideas?
I use Pocket Plus from SPB. It's a great little app that also includes repeating alerts and an option to make the 'close' button really quit the app and not just hide it in background. All highly configureable. Check out Handango for a trial and purchase.
I use cLaunch. It works great and is VERY configurable! AND it's freeware!
I use the following group-settings to get four full sized icon on each "page":
Icon size =32
Icon name enabled
Icon width = 48
Icon name at bottom
Icon name height = 14
Icon margins = 1 hor. and vert.
Window margin = 0
I have enabled "Tap empty space to advance to next group" so that I can page through the icon groups easily.
(edit: didn't catch that you already tried this app! Anyway try my settings. I can't imagine a simpler way to launch from the today-screen. BTW I have turned of the menu bar also because I just use a few icon (four in each group) just like you seem to want too.)
Another option is PHM Pocket Power Tools (or is it Toys?). It has a TrayLaunch application, which allows shortcuts to be placed in it and it displays at the bottom of the Today screen - where the NEW menu item is located. It's freeware as well.
yep: your setting worked great, thanks for the help - I never though of configuring cLaunch like that.
Hi all,
I would like to know if this is possible - Removing the "Calendar" & "Contacts" buttons from my Today Screen (you know, the last row...), which will result in the bottom row of the screen to show the shortcut icons (Wireless Manager, Screen Rotation, Battery, etc.)
EDIT" Damn, why is my title truncated?

a similar-ish project, which doesn't hide the soft keys bar, but I'm sure it's possible for the author to add that;

Wisbar Advance Desktop will do this for you, you also have the choice to remove the top bar as well =)
Help!
The icons on the far right hand side of my task bar are missing, I now can't see the volume controls and I can only see a tiny part of the phone reception icon, how can I restore it to normal??!!
A soft rest doesn't work, nor does booting into ssafe mode courtesy of SPB pocket plus.
Hi,
It's a well know issue on win2005. If you don't show the date on the top bar, icones shift to the right and aren't well displayed. Just use this registry tweak below and choose showing time in place of blank string and the problem is solved...
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Registry
Change the date in the Titlebar
?HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell "TBOpt"=hex:\
13,00,00,00
Change 3 as follows: 0:blank 1:time only 2:date only 3:date & time
Can someone figure out how to stop date line from being bold.
Combine this with follwoing to get a date that fits:
That did it
Thanks bonisalive
At the bottom of the Today screen, you got your SOFT button functions written, and some icons for applications like Comm Manager & Battery.
Personally, I don't care for that section of the today screen.
I wish to use that space taken on my screen to have more TODAY plugins.
Is there such a mod/hack/registry tweak/whatever to do so?
you can remove the battery and comm manager icon by editing the registry like so:
Remove the Battery Icon:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\Power]
"ShowIcon"=dword:00000000
Remove the Wireless Manager Icon:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\WirelessMgr]
"Keep"=dword:00000000
As for the soft key buttons, I do not believe there is a way to remove that bottom bar.
there is a possibility to remove the soft keys from the today screen:
use VJToggleToday2alpha
i dont think that'll work on wm6
Use Wisbar Advance 3 to remove that.
VJToggle works on WM6.
VJToggleToday2alpha works very well on WM6

I've seen the registry tweaks for comm mgr and battery.. but have not seen anything for the icon I get when I put the phone ni vibrate mode, and the other various app-specific icons (ie. I think Pocket Informant stuck an icon there). Seems more like there needs to be a setting to say "tray icons are disabled" vs. disabling each specific tray icon...

I have searched and still cant find out if there is a Reg edit to have the battery icon on the home screen when using "Sense" so does anyone know of one? Thx...Tj
Where in the upper right corner? By default it should be there.
Yea I know but is not for some reason. I even tried Advanced Tool Config and it says that is supposed to be there...Tj
are you using the stock Rom? have you installed any taskbar mods?
Stock T-mo ROM & no taskbar mods that I know of. I have S-K Tools in there and Advanced Config but nothing else that should affect it...Tj
You still haven't answered the question. Are you talking about the battery icon in the upper right corner.
I'll just take it that you are. There should be no reason why it shouldn't be showing up. If every thing is stock then it should be there.
i was looking at some other posts check your registry
perform softreset before confirming or denying success of reg change

If you have enabled the Clock to show up on the top right side of the screen ,than you will not get the battery to display simultinously.Its either the clock or the battery.
But if you need to display the battery on the Today screen as a separate Icon I want to have that too.
Editr may be it does after all,ill try the the reg edit posted on the above post.
