Have done a semi-extensive search to find a plug-in which allows you to place application shortcuts on the lower toolbar of the Today screen (not on the Desktop). True Toolbar is a step in the right direction, however, this does only show the running programs. Any other ideas? Thanks.
Dear,
I know a nice program called cLaunch for launching applications directly from shortcuts on Today Screen. there are many versions to it. Here is one of them www.freewareppc.com/utilities/claunch.shtml . Above all, it's freeware
Hope this is what you're looking for
Thanks, Ken_xda, but that's not what I'm looking for. As mentioned in my post, I'd like to have the shortcuts placed in the TOOLBAR on the bottom of the screen (not on the Today Desktop). The same way you can place the Quick Lunch icons in your lower toolbar in MS Windows.

maybe this one it sounds like it's in the buttom but the picture looks a bit odd
I should have mentioned it, sorry. I tried FastAccess. The idea is quite good. It adds a little toolbar to the bottom of the screen which toggles between showing/hiding icons of any programs you choose. But the execution is rather poorly done. It disabled the close/minimize button on certain applications and some design elements such as the size of the check box doesn't integrate that nicely into the existing user interface.
Try TrayLaunch from PHM....Works great and it's free!

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...

icons of running programs, or just launcher?
icon of running programs
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:

Hi there,
How do I go about hiding the standard task manager icon on the above task bar?
I've just installed pBar and it's confusing having both.
Also is there any way of changing the bottom two buttons on the today screen? At the moment i have them as calander and contacts which I rarely used.
Any ideas,
Thanks
I would like to disable the taskbar completely so that when I have a fullscreen WAD2 theme running I don't get the occasional bar showing through.
I would like the bar to be there in other applications though.
I know you can hide the taskbar in WAD2 but if I press the home key, the taskbar re-appears.
Any ideas?
Thanks
It's not a good solution, and doesn't satisfy your requirements, but for now, you can check out my VJToggleToday (on xda devs).

Thanks VJ, but what I want is the top taskbar to disappear in WM6.1 rather than the bottom task bar which nueNoBar seems to do.
Regards
Sorry for not being more helpful as I've been out of the scene for some months, but VJToggleToday could certainly do that on QVGA screens. I can't recall if it can do that for our > VGA screens, haven't tried, but I believe that if you search XDA Devs for nueNoBar you will probably find a similar app for the top bar only.

hi vijay,
i have been successfully using your vjtoggletodayiialpha on my previous devices to hide top and bottom bar.
however, on htc's touch running wm6.5 it does not work anymore.
neither nuenobar, dcinobar nor your vjtoggle nor any other prog is capable of hiding bars anymore.
to be precise: the bar disappears but the space cannot be used thus size of today screen stays the same.
is there any chance for you to upgrade your vjtoggle? i know that there are a lot of users thankful for this.
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.

does it only hide the bottom bar for you or could you also use the space for your today screen?

It hides the bottom bar and makes the space usable.

guess i have to wait for another wm6.5 build
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)

but if there IS reason, wise guy?
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!
