Hi there,
I tried my friend's Diamond with cooked rom( not sure which version is it)
I found that their Time/Battery display is quite useful.
When it is on Today page, it will show Battery on Taskbar(Since we have a big clock of TF3D, we don't need a extra one)
But once I opened any other programs, it will show Time on Taskbar.
Do anyone know who can they do that?
Can i change that by regedit?
thanks a lot and sorry for my bad english.

You can try TouchLockPro, which has a BattClock and is at the same time a locking utility. It works on any Windows Mobile phone with TouchScreen. But probably some of the sensors work on the Xperia, like the light sensor.
Settings > Clocks & Alarms > More tab > Display the clock on the title bar in all programs

To show battery:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\ShowTitleBarClock = 0
To remove battery:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\ShowTitleBarClock = 1

There's a registry tweak you can do to make both date and time to show on the taskbar without having to have a special program installed to do it. There is a section under developments in this forum giving many tricks for WM5.
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Shell
add new binary
(see attachments)
Battery AND clock?
is there any way to have both the battery and clock on the menu bar or are they mutually exclusive?
thanks, coj.
this would be really interesting!! I am curious as well!!
hey,
just installed an new clock with the manila customizer. everythings good, but i´ve just got one problem. at the homescreen the clock is normaly shown, but in other menues like programms or messages there is a white cube above in the left corner. why is it so?
sry for my bad english, hope you understand what i mean.
here 2 screenshots
You need to enable background for all tabs and the white cube will disappear. Search mun's background for all tabs cab.
wow thanks a lot man. it works.
sry for double post, but i´ve just got one problem. insted of T-Mobile is there the provider info of Orange.
ok i searched for it and installed the personlizer, but it doesn´t work, still orange. whats wrong with it?
personlizer broke my picturemail...
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...
Hello.
Do you know how can i change standard battery icon in my touch 2?? I would like an icon on %, just like had my diamond.
Is it possible??
Maybe is possible to change all icons??
I use this one

Hello.
I use battery icon from your post czdjj. Everything was ok, pin pad on startup too
When i wanted to change all taskbar icons i was searched a forum and found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=522080
Installed first sdkcert.cab
Second installed Varient 1 v2 ~ Touch2 ~ Download and when i restarted the phone my pin pad looked:
http://serwer000.no-ip.org/wojtek/pinpad.bmp
When i installed Varient 1 v2 ~ Touch2 (BlackStone PinPad) ~ Download keyboard remains the same as the link at the top...
What should i do want my pin pad was like at the beginning??
Why does not operate normally when the taskbar icons are for Touch 2??
ps. sorry for my english
I'm using the taskbar from this topic.
You can download it from here , then go to /Arthemus QVGA TaskBar /Build 23028 or Newer/Arthemus TaskBar QVGA V5_HTC.cab file.
I think it's for another resolution (VGA or WVGA), not for Touch2 (QVGA) - Icons are same just a little bigger.
Go to menu - remove programs and uninstall it, then it will be OK and search iconpack for QVGA, f.e. in HTC Elf (Touch) section
Don't worry, my EN it's terrible too
Battery display in % with time
Hi,
With the attached .cab file, it will show battery in xx% (on battery) or xx~ while on AC along with current time. It works fine on touch 2.

I tried the attach you posted here, but the display was not good enought. It shows two lines, one is % of battery left and another is the time. I don't know why.

Hello! As I see, you work with battery icon very well!
Maybe you know how I can totally hide the battery icon from the WM taskbar for freeing space? I use another battery charge indicator.
All methods that I find for WM5&6 don't work on WM 6.5.3+. Please tell me what I can try more for hide it.

What you could use is Battclock (any version) to put something else than battery indicator on that place like cpu/memory/date/free ram/temp etc.....or you can make it totally black with battclock (it's there but not visible) or perhaps install a custom taskbar without battery when you can find (did not search).
Succes

I need hide it for move other left icons to right and free more space. I very astonish that MS remove this feature from WM 6.5 because I use it in WM 6.0 and earlier.

Thank's! I'll try to find something else that create a custom taskbar. Now I use IndiBar that adds open programs icons and battery icon 'eat' space for eat
I'm probably preaching to the noobs here since most of you seasoned veterans should already know all this. I just thought I would contribute something by consolidating a couple of easy tricks.
Sure, there are numerous themes out there. But these days, there's so many versions of Manila that it can get frustrating to find which theme works for your ROM. So, here's a couple of tips to personalize your device regardless of Manila version.
1. Make your taskbar more interesting and useful
There's really no reason to stick with the default WinMo taskbar. It's bland, boring, and you can only see battery level in 4 increments. There are numerous custom taskbars out there but I find this one the most eye-pleasing to me. Brian's Taskbar
2. Make your wallpaper visible on all tabs of Sense. And don't let landscape orientation mess up the image.
If you use Manila/TouchFlo3D/Sense, don't bother setting your wallpaper via the Settings tab. Your wallpaper will look alright on your Home tab in portrait mode. But you won't be able to see your wallpaper in your other tabs. And if you switch to landscape orientation, your wallpaper will look horrible. This tool solves all these problems. You can also use a completely different wallpaper for landscape if you choose to. HDWall
(The program is easy to figure out. Take the time and patience to do so. It is worth it.)
3. Keep your Today background beautiful in both landscape and portrait orientation
Those of you who use the default Today screen (instead of Sense, Mobile Shell, etc) will know that you set your wallpaper by doing one of the following:
Option A:
-go to "Today" settings
-toggle on "Use this picture as the background"
-tap "Browse" and then select the image file.
-tap "OK"
Option B:
-open the "Pictures & Videos" application
-Browse to the image file and open it
-Tap "Menu"
-Tap "Set as Today Background..."
-Move the selection area according to your own preference.
-Keep transparency level at 0% (This is an odd setting. I can't fathom a reason for not setting it at 0%)
-Tap "OK"
Rather than using a 480 by 800 image. Try using an image that is 1333 by 800 (width by height).
For WinMo 6.5 users who use HTC Sense, this tip still applies to you. This affects the lockscreen image and the background image of the Start Menu.
Awesome! Thanks! Yes there are noobs out there (...me). I definitely appreciate this. Can't wait to try it out!
Thanks, I am a noob and am trying to decipher all these options. Maybe there can be just series of Noob Stickies...?
And I thought I would find out about lipstick and thong undies here...
I just use an 800x800 image... works just the same.

You're absolutely right. If you use an 800x800 image, the wallpaper displayed will not be scaled down and will be shown in full resolution.
However, here's the reason why I suggested using a 1333x800 image:
See the first attachment named 800x800jpg.
The blue represents the part of the wallpaper visible to you in portrait mode.
The red represents the part of the wallpaper visible in landscape mode. (Of course, imagine that the red extends behind the parts covered by blue in the middle.)
But as you can see, there's some chunks of white areas. Those parts of the image will never be displayed.
If you use a 1333x800 image, every pixel will be displayed in landscape mode. See 2nd attachment named 1333x800.jpg.
800x800 vs 1333x800
I agree entirely with the post above (very useful illustrations).
The only thing I would point out is that the 800x800 wallpaper misses out the corners of the picture in both orientations, whereas the larger wallpaper misses nothing out in one, but huge amounts in the other.
So I think it all depends on the composition of the picture really - if most of the picture is interesting then go for 800x800, if the best bits are in the centre third then go for the larger dimensions.
Of course it also depends on which orientation you spend most time using your phone in...
Just what i was looking for since Energy changed taskbar icons.
Brian's Taskbar looks awsome on the phone and ALSO seemed to make many other icons look more stylish such as storage card and folder icons. Im sure i will run into more stuff from this. Thanks
I have to say thanks for this post. I was unaware of another stable taskbar aside from Tsowen's work and Brian's definitely rocks.
Great post. I'm not exactly a noob, but I haven't spent any quality time with my phone for the last couple of months. I was waiting until some of the bugs got worked out on the programs I was hoping to use. And besides, hubby just got a Verizon Palm Pre so it renewed my interest in making my phone that much better than his.
Your directions were so complete and easy to use. My phone looks great now. That 3rd step was one I hadn't thought of. Last night I installed Brian's taskbar and HDwalls. The wallpaper looked wonderful. I thought I was stuck with the default background for the start menu until I got up this morning and tried your step 3. Now I'm a very happy camper. Thanks for the effort you took in writing this post.
Maybe a bit of a silly question, but I love those tomatoes on the lock screen. Is there any possibility that you could post that picture here?
Thanks in advance
Thanks! was looking to change the default taskbar, but didn't know how.. now i do
BTW: also like the tomatos!

would be helpful if you mentioned what ROM you're using and what taskbar is causing you difficulties....
WM 6.5
Rom 1.86.415.2 (67102)
and i tried both brain's taskbar and spike's
few min ago i used another Brain taske bar
(New_F_ Brians WM6.5 Taskbar gfreek edition V5a.cab)
it works without a bug in the signal icon , but i'm not lovin the icons really niko's were much pleasant for me, especially the start icon its not the htc logo
also i have another question my friend, which i chose to show clock on taskbar , it used to show it in any running program but not in the Home screan and it's taps , which is logic
since i update the Rom and the clock in the task bar shows in the Home screan and make the battery disappears !!!!!
even when i installed this brain taskbar also the clock removes the battery icon from the home screan
