PMC TodayShrink and the systray - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Can someone tell me how to display (not to hide!) the System Tray when I use PCM TodayShrink ? In my case it completely disappears !

Remove the link or file from the startup dir and then restart

I don't understand: if I remove the file from startup, then I won't have TodayShrink running? I would like to run both TodayShrink and the SysTray

scratches head
So you want to show the system tray while using a program thats programmed to hide the system tray?

I believed that TodayShrink will hide only the taskbar, not the systray.
I want to have more space on my TodayScreen but I want to keep my systray!

I think this app will hide the topbar and the bottom bar(where your softkeys sit). As far as the systray goes you may need to change some registry settings to do that, there is also an app somewhere for doing it. If you start the todayshrink app with -config as a parameter I believe it will give you the options for setting the size of both the top and bottom bars.

try vijay tools...It does exactly what you want. It's what I use...No softkeys but still have my programs in the systems tray.
I don't have the link to his site but a quick google should find it. Vijay is a mod here also.
Hope This Helps,
Jim

Thank you but what is the name of the soft?

vjtoggletodayiialpha
start it with -config where you can set the top and bottom bar size

unfortunately I already tried this soft but I have the same problem

so you want to replace the "softkey" screenspace with the "systray".....
i guess that will not be possible.... the softkeys are only hidden not disabled...
and systray is 10px above....

Yes you have found what I want!
But it is impossible ... too bad

lol.. i deleted the registry TrayVisible in HKLM\Software\vijay555\ works a dream.

Removing soft buttons at the bottom (messages calendar thing

Anyone knows how to remove the soft buttons at the bottom of the screen? Find them a waist of space.
I dont mean a program which has this function (wisbar advanced desktop does it) but i am looking for just a cab or reg hack to remove them without having to install unneeded software.

dvl, i don't think this can be done by a reg hack.
When i get around to updating my toggletoday program I'll provide this as an option. But you know this is a per app setting, so I could remove it in the Today screen (I think, not tried!) but not in every app (well I could, but how would you access the menu?)
V
ohhh
it is only for the today screen..
i need the keyboard thingy in apps of course..
sorry i was unclear.. and yeah i know about your app but then i have to install more then needed..
But if you know a way how to remove it from the today screen i would be very pleased!!

Toggle today is not memory resident, it loads, fixes and quits. Hopefully the WM5 version will be the same if I can help it. But I don't think this can be done in registry (unless there's a key we don't know about).

You can of course edit the registry and delete the keys that contain the paths to the programs, or leave the programs there and use blanks to show up on the screen. The letters will then disappear, but you cannot hide the whole tray and use it as Today space.

How can I add or delete an icon on the taskbar?

How can I add or delete an icon on the taskbar?
I wanted to remove the icon for manual screen rotation and I want to add some other stuff.
To remove the rotate screen icon goto the registry,
HKey_Local_Mchine\Services\ScreenRotate
change the ShowIcon Value to 0, reboot and it wont be there.
Thanks carnivor. I tried this suggestion from the WiKi, but this did not work for me:
To hide the screen rotation icon:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ROTATION\HideOrientationUI = 1
I'll try your suggestion. How about adding an icon on the taskbar?
cktlcmd: you want to check out PHM Tray Launch to add icons to the tray. There are other commercial solutions as well. And someone else, I forget who, made one called VJTrayLaunch, but it's not very good or recommended over the other offerings.
PHM's website may be down, but I've attached a zip somewhere in a Wizard thread on pop up keyboards. Prize if you can find it.

Thanks Vijay555. I did found PHM Power Toys which included PHM Tray Launch. I just don't know how to install only the PHM tray launch though. I don't want the other clutter. Here is a link: http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/phmpocketpcpowertoys.shtml
Another question please. How do you use PHM Tray launch?
SBSH's iLauncher puts icons in the tray. Definitely the easiest to use (I found the PHM software a bit fiddly and the icons didn't render well) but you do have to pay for it...

Does iLauncher causes any slow downs on the Universal? Can I install it on my SD card or does it have to stay on internal memory?

I have located the battericon and screen rotation icone removal, anybody know where the wireless connection removal setting is in the registry.

Hi cktlcmd,
To use PHM TrayLaunch
1) Install PowerToys and copy traylnch.exe out.
2) Remove PowerToys if don't require
3) Put back traylnch.exe and run it
One catch. After each soft reset you'll have to re-activate traylaunch. Any attempt to put in StartUp results in icons not displaying its original self ie. 'Notes-like' icons will be displayed instead.
wiki now updated with all three regedits to do remove the taskbar from the today screen. by removing the icons, the bar is gone by default.

Annoying icon

Is there any way to hide the annoying ActiveSync icon from the today screen? That little useless sticky icon that lies at the bottom right corner.
Thanks.

I'm second to join for any ideas how to get rid of this [email protected]$!%!$ icon!
Try to remove IconTray (or something similar) from the startup folder. Should do the job. It also removes other icons.
If you do like the icons on the bottom of the screen then try PHM Traylaunch
Nope, it's not working. The tray bar is removed for sure but with avery connection to PC the annoying AS icon shows up... I believe it is present on WM6 ROMs only...

That`s the icon for the Caller ID plugin for the IAB
Start Address Book
Menu / Tools / Options / Phone and Dial - uncheck "Show tray icon" (works if you have caller ID enabled)
...or you may disable caller ID

I too would like to do this on my o2 XDA neo...
I have searched and found only vjtoggle, but it removes the top bar too and I want to keep it...
Use vjtoggle if you want to remove either bar (or both) - have to use config to alter settings - its all in vjay555's thread or use dcinobar just to remove lower bar - cab enclosed - install and soft reset.

a little help??
