How to remove the Bottom tray?

How can I remove the bottom try on my today screen? The one that has the battery / comm manager icon?
Thanks in advance

go to \Windows\Start up\ and remove/move the "initTray"

Thanks... I should have searched first... I found it in 2 seconds.

WOW that worked great... Thanks you for that... it was something I have been looking for.
now for another question... how to I remove the top bar all together, or the bottom bar for that matter?
I was hoping I could get just a bottom bar that worked a little like the taskbar in windows. One not 2 bars to take up the main screen. I would be fine with removing either but I just feel that having both is TOOOO Much and just not required.
Thanks,

OK well first of all thank you for the info again... I have removed it and it was gone when I restarted my 8125.... but every time I plug it into the USB it pops back up and covers some of my screen.
??? any clue how to stop that ... along with my previous question?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

probably not. or use WAD to.

probably not... is that for both the remove bottom bar and the USB questions? I suppose I shouldn't have asked soo many questions at once. It just confuses me
Well either way Thanks nothin (did you notice I didnt use FOR in that statment)... and I have seen WAD but didnt really want to run such a bulky app. I was hope I could do it with reg or file manipulation. Oh Well...
Thanks again for your help.

hmmm, on second thought it may be possible, but cant check right now..
install vjtoggletoday, then go to its registry and try set "trayvisible" to 0...
(sorry for my funny english..)...

nothin... Thanks again for your responce. I do appreciate it. I just got VJToggle to give it a try. I find that it does remove the bottom bar and the top fine... but I am still having the problem when I sync my PDA the bar returns across the bottom of the screen. Sorry dont have a screen shot but here is what I see:
-----------------------------
STARTButton###########
TODAY PLUGINS
############sync icon##
TODAY PLUGIN (2 lines)
-----------------------------
When I softreset it is all gone (the way I want it) but when I plug into USB the sync icon taskbar returns.
Can this be completely removed where it does not come back. I am going to look into tweaking the sync program... maybe I can turn off the show icon in taskbar or something.
Thanks again for you help..

Are you using a program that allows you to control your wizard from your pc? I can't remember the name of it right now, but when I used it it would cause the system tray to come back.

Any way to add new softkeys on the bottom bar

Hi, is there any program or tweak to add one or more new softkeys on the bottom bar besides the original left and right softkeys?
The new softkey can be associated with different shortcuts for quick program loading/menu display/convenient operations on different programs' interface, (not just today screen). So it will give users an easy DIY method to improve some programs' users interface.
Thanks!

I did have done the search work quit a long time before posting this thread.
Actually I know lots of ways to re-map the softkeys and hard buttons. I also found the solution to add new options in the softkeys' menu list.
But my question is to ADD one/more new SOFTKEY. I do appreciate if you can just confirm me that you do have seen any solution for my question. Then I will do the search work harder but hopefully .
Thank you for your reply.

I have no answer for your problem but I am using BatteryStatus that allow to configure icons in the bottom of the screen.

Thank you!
Actually I know SKMenu can do this job, in some way. I am seeking a simple solution/program, which is more flexible and powerful for the above-mentioned purpose.

a far as i know there is no way for that. but if you need so much buttons i would use one of the many launchers.

Wisbar Advance 3 can show one more Button, I think!

[UTIL] Device Reset

Hello all, I was messing around with .net cf sdk and I made this little application to soft reset the device.
There are probably lots of these out there (didn't bother to search ).
Reasons for doing this app:
reset button behind cover
power off and power on = too much work (can't tell you how many times i just forgot to power on the phone and i missed some calls )
was bored and wanted to experiment a little
This app is useless of course if the device hangs and u can't run it...
Anyway I thought someone might find it useful so i posted it here
You need the .NET Compact Framework 3.5 for it to work
Copy the .exe file to a folder in your device, make a shortcut to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs

great tool, thank you for your share

a must have, thank you!
can you also share the top bar icons?

After rotate: HD switches back to manila

This drives my crazy: After rotating the screen with gyrator, gsen or manual-button, the HD switches back to manila or any other last used system window.
(There are some posts inside some big threads wich nobody replied, so I start a new one for this bug only...)
This is VERY annoying if you just want to turn the screen for reading or writing a mail...

i dont know if this is the right method to do it.. but
try adding all types of exceptions to the list in gsen window/class etc of your messaging window!
i came across the same problem and this seem to fix it!
try it and let me know if it worked!

what have you added? manila is already added...

sometimes the bug disappears...I added the exeptions, but have to wait some times to see if the effect lasts...But thanks!

im not talking about manilla.. open the window you wish you dont want to rotate.. then hit the home button on your phone. then go to gsen configuration and add all the windows/classes/process of that application!
that should stop the minimizing of that window when rotated.. hopefully!
if someone has a better solution let us know!

? in dont understand. I do want to rotate for example the mail window, so i added all the others to "dont rotate". correct?

Did you test MobileMagic?

yes, same effect + too buggy

It's top bar's icons related problem.
If you uninstall them you should not have that issue.

As described in another thread. This may be caused by colorful icons/battery icon in top bar.

ahhh ok I'll try. Thanks.
Do you know an other way to display some battery percentage?

If you look around, there is atleast two color top bars that do not have this problem. The problem originated from one of the first color top bars (which everyone liked and used), but now just look around and try them till u find one that u like and doesn't have the bug. (i'd give u mine but i can't find the cab for either one) good luck

Please let us know if you find one, and where to get it.
Thanks.

i now use aebuttons plus to show me battery-percentage at a btn-click.

Problem with some icons

Help me please, I have huge problem with some icons in my start menu!
Problem is that since last night I dont have those 5, if I can say normal-official icons named People, Calendar, Music, Footprint and Peep in my start menu, but I have some strange icons (white square with blue ribbon on the top of square) with new names HTC People, HTC Calendar, HTC Music, HTC Footprints and HTC Twitter in start menu.
Every time when I removed them (delete) from windows/start menu after every new restart of phone they are still there.
Does anybody knows how to remove that white square icons and to restore "normal" icons in my start menu folder in order to see them when I press start, or at least how to change look of that white icons, just to look like normal icons?

you have tried to move/delete read only files.look in the hints and tips thread for more information.

Where I can find that read only files.look, and will it solve my problem?

There's a lot of other information in there, but the answer to your question is in the hints and tips thread, linked in my sig.
I'd highly recommend reading through the tips in there. Like I said, there are a lot, but they're very useful and often the most commonly asked questions in new threads.

Thanks I'll try to find answer there.
I hope I'll find right answer and solve problem without hard reset.

Definitely no need to hard reset for that!
As johnc.. has said, take a look at the tweaks and tips threads.

I did as johnc... said and I found how to move duplicated blanc icons and not to see them again but I couldn't find how to restore original icons of calendar, twetter, people, footprints and music to start menu.
