Athena/Ameo Tray Applet...

Hi all. Need some help please. I had recently used the 'hide' TrayApplet program but after uninstalling Spb Shell, decided that I could do with it being back, but don't want large icons on my Today screen again.
Hkey_Local_Machine\SOFTWARE\HTC\TrayApplet
above I found the links to each of the icons in the tray and can successfully point them to programs of my choice. Great!!
No! The links now work a treat, but the old icons remain the same (therefore hard to distinguish what does what until you tap it).
Does anyone know how to or where the registry entries are for the icons in the TrayApplet? e.g when I tap on the web n walk icon, I now get my configured Internet Explorer, but no associated icon.
Any help appreciated.

No one here hot on Reg-editing? Tried looking at the Universal wiki and their Reg hacks, but it most of it seems to be filed using different naming conventions and some alternative methods.
In any event. The above post shows where the links are (in seperate folders)....which can be permanently deleted and will then remove them from the TrayApplet.

Thanks for the info. I am still trying to decide what to do with the tray on my phone.

Try this cab file.........i'm using it on my Ameo now. It creates a programe in your programe folder with which you can turn on/turn off your tray applet as you wish. Hope it helps
Sorry MACKABY007, never read your firsy post correctly oooops

thank you!

No probs neildunne..at least you tried to help.
And someone else has benefitted from your answer.

Is there a simple regedit to enable/disable the trayapp?

Yep there is
Yes you can do it manually.
Go to HKLM\init and create a strin Launch92 and give it the value TrayAp.exe. When you want to remove it delete the key.
Can somebody post the HTCHomeplug plugin so I can use this one instead of the taskbar?

WA3 will solve it.
I'm happy. God is listening.
System Tray Features
* Added the ability to place program icons on the system tray.
On the screenshot above, you'll see icons that don't normally appear on the system tray. WisBar Advance 3 now allows you to place icons on the tray as a "quick launch" bar, similar to iLauncher and several other software packages.

I too would like to remove this tray bar at the bottom. I dont like it and cannot find how to remove it on my X7500.
I know how to do it on my universal, but the registry is not the same.
Any light on this would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Anyone? I am using WAD right now but I do not appreciate how slow it run in comparison to not using it.

Thanks from me for this too.
Although I am curious to know... from the community at large perhaps... the Today screen is evidently made up of a series of components... TSk files for the theme... applet files for additional display options... the HTC plug-in software to modify the HTC HomePlugin etc.
It seems a bit odd to me... given the apparent effort put into theme creation software by quite a few writers... that those same coders stopped where they did... at themes.
It seems like only half of the job... even the admittedly-clever HTC Home Plug-in Customiser goes that far and no further.
I'd expect at least one developer to come up with a more comprehensive product... the modules do exist as separate entities... theme designers... plug ins and customisers... and especially with the advent of WM6 and VGA screens...
I've had two Blue Angels now for a couple of years. It never occurred to me to play with themes. The only modfication of the desktop was from whatever software went in and did so as part of the package... XCPU Scalar and some SPB items for example. I never even bothered to upgrade the Windoze from 2003SE. Everything seemed to work alright, and most software that I try to use on it still does too.
Now we have two Ameos as well... both running different versions of WM6... different ROMs... one of which (the later) is T-Mobile.
And, probably due to the larger screen, I decided to take a look into the desktop.
The T-Mobile flavour did indeed come with this Tray App, and it is only today and on here (naturally) that I have actually found out the designation of the thing.
XCPUScalar knew all about it long before I did, and stuck it's Speed, Reset, and Off buttons in it.
The other Ameo came with what I think may be a vanilla (HTC) version of WM6 and the HTC Home Plug-in... and I only recently learned about that here too... none of this appears in the little manuals T-Mobile inlcude with the Ameo of course.
I wonder now, as I write, if a fairly basic and simple method of getting rid of the Tray App may simply be either removing it from the Windows folder or perhaps renaming it.
Either way, your method works well for me... as does XDA-developers per se... and without whom all HTC customers, whether members here or not, would be a great deal poorer.
Personally, I do wish that I understood a good deal more of the subject matter, especially in the deeper-delving posts... but at least with xda-developers being here... all of you... the possibility exists.
Thank You once again... all of you.
QF

------> Does anything like Macintosh bottom bar exist??

Does a bar like the Macintosh one exist??
Look at the link to see the picture of what I'm talking about...
http://www.informaticafriuli.com/wp-content/uploads/Ubuntu/mac_linux.png
It would be very nice......

Yes, it is called the sytem tray.
Have a search for Traylaunch or BatteryStatus, both of these allow you to place links to programs in the tray. The tray is right alligned and only displays small icons.
Claunch is more tweakable but you may struggle to place it at the bottom of the screen without using other fixed height today plugins.

Can I use it with Htc Home Customizer??
Thank you!!

My attempts at some ActionScreen graphics

Version 2. I wanted to make it look a little less "busy" so I gave it more of a see-through effect and each button is very slightly different, fitting in with a complete screen image, if you see what I mean.
Also matched the ROM colour better.
B/W version added as an alternative
Unzip files and copy to /Windows using TotalCommander or something similar.
As usual, every button you press on your PDA is at your own risk ;-)
Hope you like them

I like what you have done so I did as instructed... now how to I get it? Sorry for the obviously not smart question but I've been up since 7am yesterday and it's now 915am... yes time for bed! My brain isn't working!

have you already installed HTC ActionScreen?

Hey DaVince - where did you get those HTC Home icons from? They look great!

which launcher is that below the htc home plugin? I'm currently using claunch, but that one looks good.

Plugins shown in order:
1. HTC Home
2. Quick Launcher
3. Windows Mobile 6.1 Getting Started
4. Device Owner
It's the WM 6.1 ROM for the Touch Dual by tom_codon. Once officially released, I'm sure somebody will extract them and post it here.

Good Work....
Tks for sharing!!!

Thanks for sharing
U the man. I copied all AS files excepts for the AS_Bkgd_1.brn file and found a very nice result. Your new graphic on top of the old one. Very nice. Tried it.
Thanks again.

what am I doing wrong? I installed the app, copied files to windows and still showing the old skin.

Black?

Please, it is possible to create black version of this awesome graphics? I am lame for this graphical stuff

I'll see if I have time
See first post for b/w version

also.. anyone have a better icon for Action Screen app?
The default is only that boring white square

To replace the icon
I think you have to use a Resource Editor.
Correct me if I'm wrong somebody?

Changing the icon of a .lnk file

I was wondering this exact thing the other day!
edit the .lnk file to have this:
48#"\Windows\HTCActionScreen.exe"?<Path of icon or DLL>,<index of that icon>
Go to http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5154243&messageID=9583160 for more details. They talk about it in the last 2 or 3 posts.
@davehutch - I love the Action Screen graphic. I'm using it and pumped!

Nice graphics. Thanks a lot

Transparant buttons in the program tab

Is there anyway to make the buttons in the program-tab transparant?
I think it will be more nice now we can have our own background on all tabs.
Any help will be apreciated.

only few seconds ago I thought the same... think i'll edit the manila files till tomorrow ;-)

It will be great when you can fix that and places the files in a .cab
To fix it by myself is a too hard job for me.

Agree, transparent buttons would be a good enhancement.

Transparent Docks
Here you go guys. Just extract the 2 files from the zip to the diamond's (maybe tp's as well) windows directory overwriting any existing files with the same names.

Thanks
Let me be the first so say thank you. Such small steps make a big improvement!

This is not for customized background. This is just to change the docks in the programs tab (the shiny black squares behind the icons) from shiny black to transparent glass.
The Background Image on All Pages mod can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432951

Thanks a lot for working on my request very quickly. Again we are a step more to perfect personalisation of the Diamond

I have to agree, nice work for the cab and the zip ;-)

Starting using this last night. Thought I'd say thanks!
Great to be able to personalize our Diamonds more to how we want it.

Great job, thanks. this Diamond keeps getting better every day.

Brilliant !!!!! thank you

I like that the icons on your taskbar are all sized and spaced properly in the screenshot. I tried the 21198 build and the icons are unevenly spaced and the "X" was abnormally small. Looked pretty bad. I would definitely go back to a 6.5 sys if I could find one that looked as nice as your screenshot.
This was on a VGA device (Diamond).

Well i will try it... Jejeje
I will try it but I need to restore the icons from the last build from Xplode just resizing them again... and overwrite yours cause the xplodes are pettier... nice shot men!
so do you know how to get back the animations?

Those files have to be put in the windows folder with the corrisponding png files... right?
I was looking for those files.
