hiding toolbar icons?

the battery icon disappears when you launch a program and im wondering if there is a way to also hide the speaker, evdo icon and activesync in the same manner the battery disappears and reappears when you open/close a program.
can these icons be auto-hidden like battery?
if anyone uses WkTask you'll know why.. i think it would be better for more room/space for tabs.. i don't see a point in showing these icons when you're working on active tasks.

...if you are using WkTask you can allow it to cover those icons:
manage the size of the "Offset from the right edge" option in first preferences tab, try to decrease that number!!

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

[THE]TF3D Icons +Invisible Tray Icons +Sliders +Bits (no longer supported, sorry)

I have been messing with some icons, most of the images are grabbed from google images and cropped with paintshop pro.
The set includes comm manager, call history and callender icons, if you use them. Included is a custom slider. I am just trying to get Nisse's 3 icon menu to work with the extra icons, so I'll update the post when and if I do.
Invisible tray icons on post 11.
Use at your own risk!!

Clear Ring Slider & Invisible Program Back
What it says in the title, the slider should work with all tabs.
I have tweaked the ring slider, moved it up and over a few pixels, it looks better so I have replaced the .cab with a new one.

Done a few more sliders

Some coloured oval sliders:

Very cool thanks, your icon set is insane!

Thanks Sergio, I am a bit insane myself, well out of the box and running about with a manila axe anyway!

InvisibleTrayIcons
Following an idea suggested to me by Dynomite232 I have made a .cab with 13 invisible tray icons. This means that if you use this .cab you will only see the hero, the big icon which pops up in the middle and the one selected inside the slider, nice if you like your wallpaper!
Edits, I think it should work with any theme.
Invisible slider, good with these icons.

Glad you like it, it should make theme building easier if people use it with, only the hero to build.

thats right i realy like the look its so clean now

Unique, thanks for the "no background in programs tab"...it works great. However when i use any of your sliders they are offset to the left of the screen by about 25%. I am on a stock sprint rom with some mods to TF3d (flip clock, taskbar icons, no curtains and icons). Do you know of any reason that this would be occurring?

nice work... I was thinking on doing this too...just a couple

I don't know the reason but It is no trouble for me to do sliders which would be offset to begin with and would therefore show in the correct place. Which sliders would you like to use? and I'll move them over a bit for you. Maybe you could post a screenshot so that I can see exactly how much it needs to be moved.

Predator Sliders
These are done at the request of mbord, see if you like them, I think the transparency is too high in er...the transparent one.

Getting a bit obsessed here!

Status icons iPhone look?

Hi. This is my first post here. Got my HD for about 2 weeks ago and love it, but one thing that bothers me is the status icons: Battery, signal wlan etc.
Now, on a device that looks as stylish and sleek like the HD, it's a shame to have those icons that looks like 1979....
I have the S2U2 app installed and really like the icons that are visible on the unlock screen. Is it possible to get these (or equal) to be on the top bar all the time?
Can i somehow skin this myself, and how? Where are those icons represented on the device?

I never tried it, but I think you can skin the taskbar with this software:

Thank you for your answer. But isn't there already something out ther that is a bit more easy? I have seen other HD screens here with changed icons. How did you guys do?
(BTW, i dpn't know i "skinning" is the correct term. I want these icons to be visible INSTEAD of the old ugly ones. I don't want something running "on top" of the default icons. I'm looking for a REPLACEMENT.)

i believe you're looking for something like this?

Thank you mouki_9.
I will try this.

I'd like the top bar from the S2U2 settings - but I can't find any way to do that...
Any ideas?

Is there anyway to completely remove the slider tab bar completely on the Hd2?

I really HATE the extra space that the slider tab bar takes up at the bottom of the screen
I know you can remove individual tabs (except home & settings) but this won't remove the bar or the home/settings tab.
Is there anyway to completely remove the tab bar?
Thanks for your help guys

cookies home tab mod has a retractable slider.

I think cht 2.0 you can completely remove the slider.

One picture can tell more than a thousand words!
Achieved with, as previous answers to you already mentioned, with CHT and CHT Editor. In the Editor there is a menu called "miscellaneous settings". Click this one and you will see the possibility "retract sllder". Set it to "ON", and exit the program.
