Can I get "New" on Today Screen on WM 5 like on

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:

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!

Problem with some icons

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.

Taskmanager

Gday Guys,
Sorry if this is in the wrong thread, but im having difficulty trying to find what im looking for...
Could someone tell me if there is a cab file that will enable me to make both the top (start bar), and the bottom bar (phone/menu) transparent, to match the rest of the home screen..??
Awesome website by the way guys.... Genius...

Various Q's

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.
Using stock ROM v1.66.409.1 (Manila)
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.

Make your task bar and soft key bar disappear using CHT editor.

One day i was looking for a cab. that gave your top bar and bottom bar the transparent look but there were to many steps to perform. then,there was a way to do it using B4all..which i didn't have..so i started tinkering with my CHT editor and found a way to make it look like i had no bars at all! Simply go to 'set wallpaper' on the CHT menu.choose a wallpaper for portrait 480x800 like you'd normally do.now scroll down to the skin task bar and soft key bar section and select the same wallpaper you used for portrait.now when you restart and go to your home screen,it SHOULD look like you have no task bar or soft key bar at all!! i apologize if this has already been discussed on another thread..there's just sooo many to go thru.
Holy crap, I had no idea! Thanks for posting about this! This is awesome! OMG OMG.
No problem Juggs. I figured, if i could save others time and headaches from trying to find a cab that does it,then why not.lol..because i went thru a few headaches myself. i'm kind of a noob at this but i'm somewhat self teaching myself by tinkering with stuff and following this XDA thread.
Nice of you to share this information, but this functionality isnt within the CHTeditor, its standard functionality of CHT and would work without the Editor.
Also, I am sure the updated release notes of CHT states the added functionality without anyone having to trawl through the dedicated thread.
