Is there a simple way to add a "wifi" icon to the middle of the title bar on the default Now screen? I want to try and get one that is greyed out when wifi is not on, and the normal black and white when it is on.
I use wifi a lot and try to keep it off on my tilt when not using it since its a HUGE battery drain.
I can create the icons and do the work, just need a little pointing in the right direction.
Thanks in advance.
-----------------------------
Side bar: Yes, I searched, and I posted in the SPB thread, but it got overlooked and is pages old now. This could help several people that need a single icon added.. FWIW
any ideas?
not possible with mobile shell, and next time please use one of the thousand ms threads and read first thread please, because we loose overview if everone opens a thread with one question.

Apparently you didnt even read my whole thread.. You might read before you start lecturing oh "senior member"..
It is not possible to add one that shows status. However if you look at mtkates new mobile 7 theme or the HELU theme they offer an alternative and show how to do it in those threads.

THanks for the help.. Let this thread die.
i gave you the correct answer and explained you why not open such threads. so whats your problem ? this has nothing to do with senior or not, its a question of sense and overview.
the helu skin has icon possibility to go directly to a commanager.
Check out, Gagaza's modification zip in
GB's thread V2, and my start button setup for an idea.. Enjoy!

This morning when I visited the forum, there was a post of what has happened to the "New" task on the left bottom corner of the screen on WM 5? I didn't have time to read it at the time and an hour later when I was back I couldn't find this post anywhere.
My question is, is there a way to get the "New" task on WM 5 like it was on WM 2003?
Thank you!
For the "new" feature, it's not implemented in WM5. Kind of. But watch this (ie my) space :wink:
But for now, you can check out my post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=204692#204692
Start the apps as such:
\windows\addrbook.exe -new
\windows\calendar.exe -new
\windows\tasks.exe -new

Thanks for your posting!
The way you're suggesting is the way I'm doing it now, but I miss the old way I was opening "new" messages, texts, appointments, you name it, on my old XDA.
Is there a way of having that "New" task back to the bottom left corner of the screen? Would PocketPlus help?
Don't know about PocketPlus. I think there is a way to emulate the New button. I'll be investigating it when I get time...

Hi, I was able to track down the "New Menu" software. I have now installed it on my XDA Exec and it's working fine... like good all days.
This is the website you can download the software from!

Good luck!
New Menu
I am using the WMnewmenu - a great app - basically a task launcher
I've just noticed you can add anything to the menu - just added tomtom which is handy
I really want to add the start menu but can't seem to do this. What's the link please
If I can add the start menu I can scroll to what I want using the keys rather than having to touch the screen
Regards
PAul
hays - VJKeyPress can be used to pop open the startmenu.

I have included the link in my previous posting. Have a more careful look again and it's there! :wink:
It's a shareware. YOu can download it and install it immediately.
Could you please give me the link to the MNnewmenu? I'm looking for a good task launcher too.
Thank you!
Hi, is there any program or tweak to add one or more new softkeys on the bottom bar besides the original left and right softkeys?
The new softkey can be associated with different shortcuts for quick program loading/menu display/convenient operations on different programs' interface, (not just today screen). So it will give users an easy DIY method to improve some programs' users interface.
Thanks!

I did have done the search work quit a long time before posting this thread.
Actually I know lots of ways to re-map the softkeys and hard buttons. I also found the solution to add new options in the softkeys' menu list.
But my question is to ADD one/more new SOFTKEY. I do appreciate if you can just confirm me that you do have seen any solution for my question. Then I will do the search work harder but hopefully .
Thank you for your reply.

Actually I know SKMenu can do this job, in some way. I am seeking a simple solution/program, which is more flexible and powerful for the above-mentioned purpose.
a far as i know there is no way for that. but if you need so much buttons i would use one of the many launchers.
Wisbar Advance 3 can show one more Button, I think!
Help me please, I have huge problem with some icons in my start menu!
Problem is that since last night I dont have those 5, if I can say normal-official icons named People, Calendar, Music, Footprint and Peep in my start menu, but I have some strange icons (white square with blue ribbon on the top of square) with new names HTC People, HTC Calendar, HTC Music, HTC Footprints and HTC Twitter in start menu.
Every time when I removed them (delete) from windows/start menu after every new restart of phone they are still there.
Does anybody knows how to remove that white square icons and to restore "normal" icons in my start menu folder in order to see them when I press start, or at least how to change look of that white icons, just to look like normal icons?
you have tried to move/delete read only files.look in the hints and tips thread for more information.
Where I can find that read only files.look, and will it solve my problem?

There's a lot of other information in there, but the answer to your question is in the hints and tips thread, linked in my sig.
I'd highly recommend reading through the tips in there. Like I said, there are a lot, but they're very useful and often the most commonly asked questions in new threads.

Thanks I'll try to find answer there.
I hope I'll find right answer and solve problem without hard reset.

Definitely no need to hard reset for that!
As johnc.. has said, take a look at the tweaks and tips threads.
I did as johnc... said and I found how to move duplicated blanc icons and not to see them again but I couldn't find how to restore original icons of calendar, twetter, people, footprints and music to start menu.
Hi,
Is there a way to disable some Taskbar Icons like "Speakers" and "New SMS"
In combination with my ROM and Spb Mobile Shell some icons are not working right.
1. when i get a new SMS and mark it in Mobile Shell as read, the SMS icon doesn't disappear from the taskbar.
2. when i change from ringing to vibration through Mobile Shell, the icon in the taskbar doesn't change.
After those icons are not working properly, I would like to disable them, so i don't see them at all. Does anyone know how?
kind regards,
timsah
P.S: I am using a german ROM called Shania v1.xx WM6.5.3 without Manila.

Yes, sorry I copied that thread because of the multiple links to other threads. Specifically this one and the last post had 2 others about the .dlls.
One more tip, You may want to PM ArtieQ as they have just created a taskbar and may have some additional input for you.

It explains, how to change Icons but not how to disable them. I just contacted ArtieQ via PM. I hope, he could help me.
Thanks for your effort
1. May be a issue with SPBMS itself.
2. I have no idea..
Overall, custom ROMs may have issues because they are not 100% the same as official ROMs when it comes to dlls.
Hi ArtieQ,
Thnx for your response. I actually wanted to know, if i could disable those icons?
cheers

First off I gotta say what a great forum. ;o) There's so much neat stuff in here! I just got me a HD2 and I simply love the phone. Been using some HTC's earlier but just for e-mail handling.
Well, to start off I have a couple of questions as I can't seem to find similar posts on the forum on the subject.
1. Is there a .cab for removing the "bar's" around the date, alarm and calendar on the first page/home page? Or if someone know of a theme-cab that wil make the choices on the home page transparent-like.
2. Found a cab here for removing the upper curtain so the bar get's transparent but it didn't do the trick. The curtain is still black.
I'd like the home page to be as transparent as possible so it's possible to see most of the background image.

Sorry if this/these question(s) have been asked before as I have been searching and going through posts for a day now. Hehe. Pardon my English.
Thanks in advance.

1a. Copy "Calendar and Date transparent" cab to phone and launch from there. Soft reset phone to take effect.
1b. After soft reset, if there is a black vertical bar between the words Date and Alarm then copy "Remove black line" to phone, launch and soft reset.
If you don't like the effects done, go to "Remove Apps" and uninstall.
2. Found a cab here for removing the upper curtain so the bar get's transparent but it didn't do the trick. The curtain is still black.
2a. For operator bar, use the "Touch X remove top curtain" cab. If is the taskbar where the Start button is located, search for HDWall in the forum.
