Taskbar Volume Icon - What Drives Which One is Displayed? - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps

I am using a taskbar icon set that works well with one exception. On my Verizon TP, the taskbar displays the 'Silent' Icon when the phone is set to normal, and displays the 'Normal' icon when the phone is set to silent. What tells Windows which icon to display. Others have found the same issue, so it could be a VZ thing.
I'm pretty sure the icons are in HTCVolume.dll, but I haven't yet confirmed this.
I couldn't find any relevant references in the registry, so this might be coded in the dll???
Can this perhaps be fixed by rearranging the order of the icons in the .dll? If so, can anyone recommend a good app?
Thanks!

Registry tweak to not show running program name in title bar

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?

How to make the clock show in the taskbar all the time?

I found the setting to show the clock whilst in a program, and that's nice. However I would like it to show in the taskbar all the time. Is there any way of doing this?
I came across this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/vie...ays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=lvmtime&start=0
But it seems to only show the clock sometimes, and when it is shown the volume icon is shown as muted when it is not.
So does anyone know how to make the clock show in the taskbar all the time? A registry hack perhaps?
Thanks.
the lvm time works fine with me. it just covers the battery icon on the Today screen.
Well as I said, it occasionally shows the battery icon, occasionally the clock - I haven't worked out when it shows which, but it isn't showing the clock all the time for me.
If you use PocketPlus with it's bar-like battery meter, you don't need default batt icon at all
Anjow, I found that my clock was not visible and came here to find a solution. I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=278745 and set the registry entry to '1' (DWORD) as it was set to '0' (DWORD). You'll need to do a (soft) reset of your device for this to take effect, but let us know if this does what you want, or what the value is at the moment.

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!!

Tray battery icon

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...

Manually edit tile icons in Start Menu?

Hello,
I've been searching for a while but I couldn't find sufficient answers on how to do this.
Is there a tutorial to manually make and set tile icons for any program/app that fill up the tiles as a whole just like Store app icons, without using any editing software?
The reason I want to do this manually is because the apps in the Windows Store that can edit these icons have to pop up every time I start the program that I have edited its icon with the editing app. This seems to be something that can't be disabled in Windows 10
Oblytile seemed to be a good editing app that doesn't pop up every time you start up the program you've edited its icon of, but unfortunately it's not compatible with Windows 10 anymore.
Also, if there is an editing app that doesn't pop up, I'd really like it to be able to also make wide tiles (not just small or medium squared tiles) since some editing apps don't support that.
Looking forward to answers on this.

Yes, just look for "Customize Tiles on Windows 10 Start Menu" on youtube or something like that.
Something that bothers me is that icons also change on the taskbar, when the program is running, which is something I want to avoid, and I don't know how to keep the original icon on the taskbar.

Thanks for the reply. The problem is, I can't find any way to make wide tiles manually. I think this would need an app but the problem is that apps usually always pop up for a very brief moment when you open the concerning app for which you've made a customized wide tile.
