Hi all, on my M3100 there was a program called pimp my black which allowed you to not only get rid of the annoying battery icon and replace it with the time but also the date in the top right of the screen. Does anyone know how of if this is possible on the Touch Dual yet?
thanks
I would like this as well.
To show both the date and the clock:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 3 (DWORD decimal)
JIC you might need more.
To show just the clock:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 1 (DWORD decimal)
To show both the date:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 2 (DWORD decimal)

Ok, I need some help please, I get as far as HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell then the TBOpt is not there, Taskbar is there so I changed that to 3 and then reset and I have no clock at all when in screens other than home screen. Any advise.

Change taskbar back.
If TBOpt is not there, create a key by the same name.
then add the dword (decimal) 3
ok that works! for others you will need to set "ShowTitleBarClock"=1 otherwise it gets a little congessted in that area!

OK I created a New Key under Shell and then while it was highlighted I pressed edit at bottom of screen and pressed "New DWORD Value" and under "Value Name" I entered TBOpt and in "Value data:" I entered 3 and the "Base" was Decimal. IS THIS CORRECT???

Sorry not the fastest with this stuff, where do I find "ShowTitleBarClock" so I can change the setting?
What you need to do is create a new DWORD value (TBOpt) under the Shell key, do not create a new key. Under the current Shell key you should only have the value ShowTitleBarClock which is what you need to change and the TBOpt value you created.
Thanks heaps, all is working now.
One last question, I have the date above the time which is fine but the date is 6/01/0 the last digit is missing, is there a way to edit this to fix the problem or even get rid of the year as I can usually remember what year it is but month and date I need very bad.......
Hmm mine is using UK time so the format only cuts of the last digit of the year for me. It uses the Short date format from within the Date tab within regional settings so maybe you can alter that to appear like mine? the weird thing is on my M3100 it is set exactly the same but instead of showing 05/01/08 it only shows 05 Jan, weird. Maybe someone else knows
That would be perfect, that format "5 Jan" ..... Does anyone know how to get this format for the date?

Goto settings\regional settings and under the "Date" Tab:
For short Date choose one of the presets: dd-MMM-yy
for "Date Seperator", choose space instead of the default "-" (dash).
Unfortunately you can't change the presets, so the option suggested above is the closest you can get.

I tried "space" and it still didn't fit, then I tried a "." and it fits perfect, I don't know what will happen when the day becomes 2 digits it might be out again but thanks heaps for your help you have fixed my problem.

So far I've managed to get no less than two battery indicators when I'm on the home screen, and one when in a program.
What I want is neither clock or battery indicator on the title bare.
I'm running mobile 6, and have tried to set the TbOption in HKLM\software\ms\shell to 0, and the ShowTitleBarClockthingy to 0. This results in a empty space where the clock used to be, and a somewhat sluggish performance, as well as the icon next to (signal strength) to be cut in half, so not a good solution at all.
So I tried to remove the new key, and use KaizerTweak, which resulted in good performance, but two indicators... me confused be
All I wanted was nothing!
Sort of new to WinMobile 6, so It's probably some noobism in me as well.

Hi all,
After installing loads of software, the clock in the right upper corner is gone. Since I don't know what software caused this and I don't want to remove all my apps to try what caused it, does someone know how to get it back, perhaps in the windows settings? Or is there a small free app for getting a clock on my today screen?
Yeah, I get this all the time.
You need to edit the Registry
In the Registry go to:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell
If not exist make a key TBOpt (Binary Value)
Possible values and there meaning are as follows:
0 = no time or date
1 = time
2 = date
3 = both
Credit to bernhard74 who posted this a while back.
Use PHM Regedit and soft reset afterwards
Thanks very much for the tip! Worked perfectly, the value was set to 0 for some reason, but now I have date and time in the right corner!
Hi everybody. Those of you who have windows mobile SE might miss the good old start menue from first edition featuring more links than the new one. The old version had those tiny little symboles at the very top. Far more handy than these big "last used" symbols now from my poit of view.
Perhaps one reason of this restructure is the landscape mode. Here the "last used" symboles become the litte symboles ontop like in first edition.
now wouldn't it be nice if you could also define the lower sectioin of the menue with permanent links in stead of these changing ones?
So far I found out that the registry folder containing these shortcuts is to be found at: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TaskSwitch
(at least at my Himalaya).
Within here you got
(Default) (value not set)
"1"="\\Windows\\Startmenü\\Programme\\SlovoEd.lnk"
"0"="\\Windows\\Startmenü\\Programme\\Resco Registry.lnk"
"10"="\\Windows\\Startmenü\\Programme\\Spiele\\Jawbreake r.lnk"
"11"="\\Windows\\Startmenü\\Programme\\Astor.lnk"
"9"="\\Windows\\Startmenü\\Programme\\Internet Explorer.lnk"
"8"="\\Windows\\Startmenü\\Programme\\Messaging.lnk"
"7"="\\Windows\\Startmenü\\Programme\\Alex.lnk"
"6"="\\Windows\\Startmenü\\Programme\\Eval.lnk"
"5"="\\Windows\\Startmenü\\Programme\\Notizen.lnk"
"4"="\\Windows\\Startmenü\\Programme\\movianVPN.lnk"
"3"="\\Windows\\Startmenü\\Programme\\Sprite Backup.lnk"
"2"="\\Windows\\Startmenü\\Programme\\Suchen.lnk"
for example while values form 0 to 5 are the 6 items that are displyed.
Now changing a value to a link (.lnk) that is located in the windows/start menue/program folder and a softrest brings this new item up..
The only thing that one would have to do to permanently set one's links is to stop the device from changing that folder.
unfortunatelly I have no idea how to do that... maye sombody of you can help?
Thanks alot
Alex
I've tried everything. Delete single values within taskswitch. delete taskswitch...
I added Dwords to Shell and taskswitch as follows:
NoRecentTaskHistory = 1
NoRecentTaskSwitch = 1
NoRecentTaskSwitchHistory = 1
NoTaskHistory = 1
NoTaskSwitch = 1
NoTaskSwitchHistory = 1
non of them works.
Actually I'm not into inventing new regestry vlues.
Perhaps someone of you knows...
Thanks a lot. I think a lot of people would appreciate this.

hey guys, i used this:

Change the display of the clock in the taskbar
The clock in the taskbar can be changed to show not only the time, but also the date, or just the date, or nothing at all.
To show nothing:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 0 (DWORD decimal)
To show just the clock:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 1 (DWORD decimal)
To show just the date:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 2 (DWORD decimal)
To show both the date and the clock:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 3 (DWORD decimal)
Note 1: If you switch to the Analog clock display, the date will remain visible -through- the Analog clock
Note 2: Setting the clock to show 'nothing' will still keep the reserved space, showing the taskbar background, and obscure any icons that will shift to the right.
Note 3: Your date may get obscured by the space reserved for the OK/Close button in the top-right. You can fix this my adding spaces at the end of your 'Short Date Format'. See also the tweak on 'Change the Short Date Format'
---------------------------------------------------------
BUT it doesn't work. I have the new 2.23 aku rom. Can anyone help?
After you change your registry.
Switch your unit off/on (preferably let it be still for 2-3 minutes)
And perform a soft reset. It should work.
If it doesn't, go back into your registry and check if the values are still there (e.g. if the values have been changed back to the original state). If that's the case, you ought to wait a bit longer. WM5 tend to delay the write into the registry.

Hi all,
I'm currently using the old version of WM6.5 - the version before they move X button down - located next to the soft key.
I want to change to the newest version but I've got the problem that HS++ taskbar indicator, which is norrmally showing CPU utilization and located under the clock in top bar, is missing due to the top bar space is contracted.
Does any know how to get the taskbar indicator in the new version of WM6.5?
I really need to see my CPU utilization on the screen all of the time.
Thank you.

I've done it but temporarily forgot.
There are hidden reg settings in HKLM -> Software -> Microsoft -> Today -> Items -> Homescreen++ where you set the X and Y coordinates for the taskbar indicator.
I had to dig in the HomeScreen++ threads here or on www.chi-tai.info to find it. I just reflashed my device and don't remember where I found the keys so I can't really help you out much now. But it can be done. Only problem I had was where to position it with the new WM6.5 builds. There is very little height on top and I can't position it below the clock like I normally would. I had to float it above the data and reception icons.
When I find the keys again I'll post them in here.
Found it!
From this page: http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_batterystatus_xda_neo_wm5_ext_im_cs.htm
The TaskBar-Indicator can be activated (and deactivated) by means of the contextmenu.
You can customize the position / font / color and background-painting-method by creating one or more of the following registry-values under HomeScreen PlusPlus-Key:
HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Today\\Items\\HomeScreen PlusPlus
TaskBarLeft
DWORD
Distance in pixel from left -> LeftAlign of reading
TaskBarRight
DWORD
Distance in pixel from/to right -> RightAlign of reading
TaskBarTop
DWORD
Top position of the indicator
TaskBarFont
DWORD
Means increase fontsize by 2 points
TaskBarFontColor
DWORD
Color of Taskbar-Reading ( 0x00bbggrr )
TaskBarBattery
DWORD
0 = Show CpuSpeed, 1 = Show Remaining Battery

Wow! that's really great. Thank you so much
I'm flashing the new rom.. will see whether it's working for WM6.5 tiny top bar or not.
Hi,
does anyone knows how to off the time displaying in system tray on home screen ? I am referring to the time located at the extreme upper right corner. Since I already have the big clock on manilla, i thought the time on the system tray shld be redundant. Any advices ?
Hi, Go to Settings/AllSettings/Clocks & Alarms and deselt the tick box for "Display the click on the title bar in all programs". This will disable it everywhere, not just for the home screen (I don't believe that option is available). I'm sure that this has already been published here. Search is your friend
