Top Taskbar shows running apps (like on PC) - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

I saw a picture where the top taskbar shows running programms on the right from start button (in the same size as start icon)!
Could anyone please tell me the name of the app or send a link or even better - post a cab!!
BTW Im using Htc Touch HD - WVGA screen, WM6.1

Search for wktask.

or wizbar advance

That would be very cool. Actually Wktask works good, but in portrait, the taskbar doesn't look very good, because there is so little space.
But if the taskbar would work like windows 7, with icons only, it would be very great!

How? I bet it can not. I mean icons in the taskbar of all running programs.

You go in Preferences - Design - and on the top is Presented Type and there you change "Icons-only style. That`s it.

If i remember correctly, DOPODU1000 don't have icon for screen rotation as well, which isn't a bad thing, at least for me...if you install iLauncher for example, you will get your tray back and you also can put more icon there as well
You can try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1098622#post1098622
Offcourse you know the HTC Hermes forum very well , I d'nt know if this is working for the HTC advantage

Where did you get a skin like that? Looks AWESOME. I guess it's for Wisbar Advanced Desktop?

It's a combination of Juni VGA Panorama skin with elements of Corleno's Alienware skin.

Running Programs in Taskbar like Magic Button?

I was looking for a program that was able to show me running apps in the taskbar, tray or todayscreen and found Magic Button. I like it very much, but only the icons of the running programs in the upper taskbar next to the startbutton. I don't need the other functions, because I have SPB Pocket Plus.
Is there a possbility to deactivate the Close-Button of Magic Button?
Or are there other programs that are showing ONLY the icons of running programs?
The O2 task manager works by showing all running progs in a bar on the home screen. search for o2plus i think should find it.
I was hoping to find a prog that shows the icons in the bottom task bar...

alternative to Magicbutton
I'm still looking for an alternative but can't find anything. I'm not an expert, maybe theres a way to edit the registry so that Magicbuttons starts without the X-Button-function. I need only the icons of running tasks next to the start-button in the Taskbar. Please help.

Try SK Menu (http://www.s-k-tools.com)
I've upgraded to WM6 on Trinity. Noe Magicbutton looks really bad! It changes the colors of the taskbar. Is there an update available?
looking fot the same registry tweak or small program...
Dev State
This is a Today Plugin, which can show the running apps with icons and some other things like battery status etc. I just use the running programms-feature. You can set the icon size too, which is quite finger friendly
WKTask
WKTask is what you need:

[THE] Text Based Icons and Slider

Hello everybody, I would like to share some icons I've made. These icons are text based. I also included a slider to go with it. This makes it a nice set I guess. Its the first set I've created so I hope you people like it.
where do i get the manilla customizor program you have?

To get the icons working like the standard TF3D it's not necessary to download both packages. The sliders look attached only fits better with this icon set. Other sliders would work but it will look awful.

[APP][WM6.5] Hide TODAY bottom bar - found source code of dcinobar

to all,
there are many threads floating around that all the well known apps to hide bottom bar and task (top) bar are not working anymore under WM6.5. i am talking about dcinobar (v1, v2), nuenobar (v1.3, v2.0) and vjtoggletoday (inkl. todayiialpha).
i want to start this thread to gather all relevant information here to overcome this problem.
@mods: please do merge other similiar threads in here
to make a start: i found the author of dcinobar
there are two versions of dcinobar and the author is also providing source code on his website.
maybe someone is more capable than me to use this source code as a hint to create a new app for this problem?
good old dcinobar,
has nothing to do with 6.5 ****, tho.
it is like asking about remake of nuenobar..or vjtoggletoday.

you seem to be knowledgeable.
is it not possible at all to hide bottom bar in wm6.5?
i think it may be possible - for wm6.5 roms without titanium plugin at all - but NOT DONE, yet.
titanium changes handling of softkeybar(new, and maybe old manila is working same way), it may be not possible, surely it won't be easy...notice it is dynamic, not static as default 6.1 softkeybar..
sad to say - xdadev bacame strange place - you may find every possible software ripped from commercial products, ton of UGLY skins, but there is no developer to MAKE such thing, as just softkeybar remover...
just ms/htc software promo site...wow factor tragedy, imo.
btw, i am using hs++ too, i do not need titaniums, manillas, 15 mb+ mem loss, etc.
http://i26.tinypic.com/2hgwzs1.jpg
yeah. hs++ is great. it is the only ui which is easily highly customizable but does not consume much power and cpu.
i use it more iphone stylish like (see attached)
but back to the topic.
at least it is good news that it could be done, even with some limitations (like deactivated titanium or manila)
if only i could understand this. if you run dotfred's taskmanager and browse through the different windows one can see that the softbar window is cascaded, i.e. a window within a window within a window where the bottom bar is displayed.
it should be possible to hide or close this window (and keep it closed) and increase the size of the desktop screen
isn't anybody out here, who takes this as a challenge?

yup, messy thing, imo..add sip-handler to that(wad shows that problem clearly)...
btw, i can recommend task manager 3.1, 3.5 for such insight operations.
app is perfect to be used in roms to determine whole lots of useful info + regeditor/regimporter.

You can hide the bar on WM 6.5 fine as long as you disable the Titanium plugin. And since there is no reason to hide the bar if you are running Titanium, I fail to see the issue here.

correct - you fail to see the issue here.
1. i am using hs++
2. many users have had recently problems in hiding bars with tools like dcinobar, nuenobar and vjtoggle (see my first post)
3. so do I (see my first post)

I'm saying those bar hiding apps work fine under WM 6.5. I thought that was what you were trying to fix. If you let me know the reason I might be able to help. Saying you need help hiding the bottom bar in 6.5 when there is an app that works, well...

that sounds more reasonable now.
could you specify which bars you are able to hide?
manila task and bottom bar
titanium task and bottom bar
today screen task and bottom bar

As has been said already. Under WM 6.5 you can hide the today bottom and top bars as long as you are not using titanium or manilla. Those apps (dcinobar and vjs app) were designed to hide the bars but not to work on today screen plugins. If you want to modify a today plugin, you will have to hex edit the plugin directly and/or create a new program that modifies today plugins.

not sure if we are talking about the same. why would i hexedit a plugin in order to hide the today screen bottom bar.
hiding bottom (and task) bar is independent of the plugin as it is controlled by shell32.exe.
but you seem to know what you are talking about. let's give it a try. i am using homescreen ++ (see signature). what do i have to hexedit?
thanks in advance
I use Nuenobar 2.0 and it work fine. no problem!

One of Spike's taskbars has a colored windows start logo, you can look HERE and see if it matches what you want...scroll down the options there 'till you see 'varient 3'
Thank you, I did download this one, but I don't like the box around it and the icon appears very small on my phone...anybody else know where I can get this plain windows icon?
thanks!

Here's another one I found you can try...check out THIS thread, look for the "Q series" in the second post, it has a bigger colored Windows icon, with no box around it
You can also search for Brians taskbar. It has a whole new icon set as well.

I second that. That's my favorite that I have seen.
You can always make your own taskbar icons. I found a website that gives you the tools and explains what to do (even to where I can understand it ). I will have to get the link when I get home.
Here's the link:
