Does anyone know how to remove the small 4 segment battery icon from the lower tray in the today screen. I don't really see the point in it existing with the one in the upper taskbar being there already.
I've already checked for running tasks, as well as startup programs for a program which may be creating the icon, but I can't seem to find anything suspicious. I think it must be part of a hidden process which I can't seem to find.
I have searched the SEX1 forums extensively and not founf anything relating to the icon in question. I can try and take screenshots if anyone is unsure about the specific icon I am talking about.
For reference, i'm currently using Norti's excellent "nX1i v1.04" rom.
Thanks in advance for any responses/solutions you may have.
It is there so that if you have the clock displayed at all times in the title bar, there still is a battery indicator (By displaying the clock in titlebar you lose the battery icon). Anyway here's how to remove it: Get yourself a registry editor and set HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\Power\ShowIcondword to 0. Then Softreset. The icon will be gone IF it's this one. Of course it is possible that on your ROM there is another software installed which produces the icon, but I don't guess that.

Yay, finally gone!
Thanks for that, it's always the simple things you forget to do, like searching the registry. Now that i've got the panels button mapped to the start menu too, this may well be my favourite device yet. I think I may like it even more than my HTC Diamond...

I was wondering how to disable displaying the program name on the taskbar. is there a registry tweak for this?
cuz i'm using an XDAII and there's the signal indicator and i use spb gprsmonitor, which i moved the icon a bit further to the left to make room for the other indicators (missed sms etc. etc.) but then it goes on top of the running programs name, which looks bad.
it's just a cosmetic thing, id rather see the taskbar clean with just the icons and time instead of having the current running program's name on it.
i hope this is doable by registry since i'd really want to try it as soon as possible
Cheers,
I Have the same problem.
No Hack? No idea?
So many threads coming up with a search. Can someone easily tell me how to remove the battery icon from the top bar in my Orange SPV 3100
Many thanks.
HTCustom does it easy. There are links all over for it. Although if you remove it the blank spot also covers up the "sound" icon and part of the reception icon
Well wait. I just noticed you said battery. Default there is the clock. So you've changed it before? HTCustom will still let u change this (UI tab i believe) but it sounds like you've changed it before.
I haven't done much - I have just allowed user information on the screen, which takes care of the clock, as this now shows in the "today" area. The battery icon has replaced where the time was on the top bar. I will try HTcustom and see what happens!! thanks for the help.
In the official WM5 ROM from I-Mate the battery icon is shown on the title bar and clock is hidden beneath it. Is there a way to bring it down to systray and make the clock visible? Please help.
download Batti v2.1 from http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/batti.shtml and install it on your universal. In the settings for the app, uncheck "Show Battery Icon in Top Bar". That will display the clock in the top bar!
download Battery Watch v1.03 from http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/batterywatch.shtml and install it on your universal to get the battery icon on your systray!
They're both freeware, so, enjoy!!
I found the answer to the part of my question at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Registry about adding battery icon to systray and I would like similar procedure for its removal from title bar. Thanks for your help I will be certainly using your addon untill I get my desired answer. Thanks a lot once again.
I would recommend having Batti as a must-have application if you like battery stats! The rest is up to you of course, i always prefer moderate-functionality apps to messing with the registry myself! They're small, easier to handle, removable and just provide more functionality that reg-editting!!
I used Batti but it didn't removed battery icon. What happens is that when app installs it is already configured not to show battery icon but the icon shows so I enabled it just to give a try and as a result two icons were shown then I unchecked it and only the new icon went away. The original icon remained there. Registery hack is a must!!!
weird, now i'm wondering how i got rid of the battery icon I'll let you know if i figure that out
That's really very nice !!!!! Figure it out soon please !
Still awaiting response. Please somebody help me soon.
I installed "QuickMenu 2.8" in my PDA, but the battery icon overlaps to the clock on the taskbar. How can I shift the icon (clock or battery, or another)?
Tnx everybody!
Do not know how your taskbar looks like......What I use is Battclock......http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=612083 .....which displays battery and clock above each other but various customizable options are possible. Basically it can cover current icons to give a better look.
Yes you can change position of icons via registry.....see attached example under 4.2 location http://touchlockpro.sourceforge.net/BSettings.html#4.10 ...but I warn you it is quite some manual work......
But you don't knows were could I found the registry value of the wm6.5 tasbar icon? becouse i don't wanna intall the taskbar program raccomanded by you.
Apart from the link I sent you I have not an overview of where to find registry for all other icons you want to move. Did it myself for the battery only.....
But your battery icon was installed by your program...isn't it? If I'll Know where is the value of my icon battery about "Quick Menu" Program, I've resolved my problem!
See if you have in registry HKCU\software\quickmenu. And than you have to find an X or Y indication for position of battery icon......play around with these values to see if it works. Note: soft reset after every change.....
I tried it...the key exists but inside there's nothing that calls to mind the X or Y Icon battery value....sigh!
Over the past few days I have been searching for a cab which will allow the top bar icons to be replaced with nicer well polished options.
I have also been looking for a cab that indicates the battery life as a long horizontal multicolor line at the absolute top of the top bar.
Please see the attached photo for a better explanation.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi Rudy.
For the icons, there's actually many different ones to choose from, you'll want to search for "taskbar icon sets". Several of the most common ones include:
-brian's gfreek edition
-dafunk's B&W and NGTV taskbars
-dinik's anastasia
Those and many others will work on the HD2 even though they might have been designed for and work with other phones. The thread for any icon set you find should clearly label what WM builds exactly they work with.
I know the "long line" battery indicator is floating around the forums here, but I don't know the name of it off the top of my head...I'm sure someone here can point you to it.

Thank you for the direction on where to make the task bar even better. I found several options here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=639002 and selected this option: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=602295
The Vista Hide battery gauge is an exe file, I always thought that .cab was the only install vehicle.
Learning every day,

I have tried many different task bars and none of them worked...except diniks recently worked for me. I use this http://battlinesvc.codeplex.com/releases/view/41597 plus diniks and it works great. and you can choose any colors you want...to make them fit your theme...different color for charging off the charger and low batt.

thats what i thought as well.. i didnt really pay attention when I first installed this until i actually clicked on it and realized it was an exe file. works though =) ... i dont use it unless i flash a rom that initially doesn't show the battery, instead, showing the clock.
