How to disable the notification bar/task bar on the bottom???

hi all,
if u notice the bottom of the TMo Wizard/MDA, theres a notification bar/task bar with the battery icon there. do u know how to disable/make it disappear because it is such a waste of real estate on the screen. it displays nothing but the battery icon (i seen somewhere that it displays the Bluetooth, WiFi icons also, but not on mine). thanks in advance for all the input.

Have a look at this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=275901&highlight=init

disabling email/sms/missed-calls notification on menu bar

hi,
does anybody know how to completely disable the notification for emails, sms and missed calls?
to be clearer: i do not mean the notification bubbles which can be disabled through settings. i mean the notification icons which appear on the menu bar.
any ideas? thanks

Do you mean the HTC Home icons?

i think what he means is the icons that shows up on the top bar along with the start icon, beside the connectivity icon..
here's a snap of it..

Ah yes, you are right!
I think that's the system feature and cannot be disabled.

if you have a look on some today screen replacements (e.g. todaylife) they can suppress the notification icon

mmh todaylife is a net application that sits over the todayscreen, so the notification are still there.

... but they are hidden, i guess? because the author has also rewritten/reskinned the complete top bar. so i can't imagine that the author would allow that notification-icons would popup as they wish.

ya I wish there was a way to get rid of those also

I would imagine (not knowing the particulars), that you would need to hook into the notification message loop and disable from there.

this might be a workaround:
replace those notification icons with pure black icons.
i am not skilled enough to do that, as i think it is the same hazzle like you have when replacing the start-icon on the top bar...

But what about theme usage? On for example blue theme this would be a black square there

sure. that's why it is a workaround and might not be applicable to all users
but at least for black theme users like myself

theres a way....programs like photocontactpro and smsfilter have the option to stop text messages from showing up. don task me how....but they do the magic some how

[REQ] Remove new mail icon in topbar?

Hi
Is it possible? I receive a lot of mails and I find that icon useless when TF3D enabled..
When you have other notifications icons (RSS alert or bluetooth or..) at the same time, it shows that "bubble" icon instead, on which you need to tap to see what it means

get all the taskbar icons you need from this thread.

And what does that thread have to do with his request ?!
There's no way that I know of to disable those notifications, short of maybe installing a transparent icon so you just don't see it.

Title bar text - how to remove it

Hiya
You know the title bar, with the windows icon etc... at the top of the screen. Is there any way of getting rid of the text "Start" ?
Likewise for any program I run, I don't need to know what the program is, cos I ran it - so if I could remove the text in the title bar it would be a bonus.
Cheers.

How about you do some research first before ask? This question is answered so many times on so many sites including this one too.

I was trying find, but find nothing on google.

All the day I'm seeing in google something like "how i can change the status bar icons windows mobile smartphone" and it gives nothing at all. =|

You mean the icons which indicates Network signal, battery, edge/3g, start icon, etc?
If so, those are taskbar icons, you search for taskbar icons for WM 6.1.
