[IDEA]WM6.5 Easy Hide Titanium

I'm not thinking something like my snapshots I photoshopped up would be possible, but it would be nice to have an easy-hide button for Titanium rather than going into the Today screen settings.
I guess the mockups are something I might have if I was a Microsoft 6.5 Engineer. Basically I just copied the Hide/Show Desktop Button from Windows 7, added some Arrows from the Lock Screen, and added the Lock Screen clock at the bottom.

The idea is really cool

I'd like that!!

If this were the default lockscreen it would be much more original that than the iPhone S2U that Microsoft is trying to copy.
Think, if your alerts could shoot out of the arrow part and you could slide them up or down to retrieve them. To unlock the phone, just drag the arrows to the right. All with smooth animations of course. The arrow part could simply change color to let you know you have new alerts. When you tap it, the number of alerts slides out along with the individual alert slider.

I never thought of making it a lock screen. I guess if someone were to create a whole new lock screen app like that, it would be possible to make one that was like my designs... But I am still interested in the idea of easily hiding Titanium.

Good idea.
It looks like S2U2.

i would love to get this on my phone if any one can develop it haha...great idea....... love it.... lets hope some one can make it...

support this great idea

Looks like something that might be available on "7". But would be awesome if we could get it here and now. +1 for notifications linked to the appropriate panel, ie. you get an email: the email hidden tab would blink/change color/show email icon and you could slide that tab out to check it.. brilliant concept.

I'll attempt to work on the notification concept a bit in some more photoshop mockups. But thank you everyone for your good feedback.

such a simple idea....absolutely brilliant. I would love to have this

the closest thing to this now would be s2u2 actually. just a matter of skinning it to look like titanium. and you can slide and titanium would show!!! i know not what you had in mind but hey it's the closest you can get =D

i like it...but maybe make it a lock buten?? sory for my englisch

cool idea!!

it would be much nicer with this in touch in my phone

Nice idea!

very nice!
GR8 IDEA
but... mayde, why not it 3D?

Cool idea

Yeah that is a very good idea !!!

great Idea if someone could find a way to add page to Clock PANEL then You could just creat an exe to lock phone right?

Well, after installing photoshop i decided to give a stab at my own start menu buttons and heres what i came up with.. i was super surprised at how well they turned out, soooo lol.. here you go

Great!
That looks amazing. Much better than the default round Background.

Very nice! I made 2 .cabs of these so you don't have to manually copy them into \Windows. In addition, you can uninstall it, then reset to revert to the old softkeys.
Vistabuttons.cab includes both the softkeys and the start menu select mod, while Vistabuttons2.cab contains only softkeys, and not the start menu select mod. And to my knowledge, this will not work on a (W)VGA device, so don't install if that's the case. BTW, all credit goes to the OP.

And yes, i should have stated.. i made this for my Omnia i910 rom which is wqvga

I thought I just saw this somewhere else.

Hmm.

@Nagrom Nniuq
I see the similarities, but it's not a rip off. Just a simple button made with photoshop and not skilfully done as dwizzy130's.

The icon for the lock on your phone has nothing to do with the buttons. Its the rom. I cooked these buttons in with my rom and it works fine... i see the lock icon. And yea i could make these transparent.

yeah the screwed up buttons is a rom issue, I had this happening and rebuilt my kitchen, recooked and it's all good now...

Does anyone want this in any other colors.

There's an extra taskbar

A couple of days ago the alarm clock in my Mini sounded, so I tried to take it not looking at it, touching the screen, buttons and who knows what else. The thing is, when I looked at the screen, there was a new bar!
It looked like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

}
Not exactly, since that's a quick Photoshop work I've done, but you get the idea.
Does anyone know to make it appear again? It was the first time I saw it

just tap at left of edge icon (E or G).

Could you specify where exactly? (in a picture or something). I'm trying what you said but I only get the Notifications window

Exactly below The H of HTC logo at top.

Thanks, but that only takes me to the notifications window... have you seen the image I posted?

i think that might be appearing due to any of insatalled application on my device. and yes it is as per the screen shot(not photoshoped). A zoom button, clock, connectivity, battery, etc.

Yeah that's what I was thinking, but I haven't installed anything like that, that's the weird thing
There's a guy in a Spanish forum who saw that bar once also, but no idea how he managed to show it

i saw a similar taskbar but disappeared the same way you mentioned before

Same here...i was reading a buk using adobe reader when i accidently pressed taskbar..this another bar poped up but was gone next second....i tried several times after that...got it one more time..but not after that..

taskbar
I have this piece some times after I have established foreign taskbar crept out!

I got it. Install X-task. and u will get it every time.

Do you mean this one?
I don't really care about having that taskbar or not, what I'd like to know is just how that happened and how can I see it again.
Mine didn't show and disappeared again, I pressed the zoom icon and my screen zoomed in a lot. Then I tapped the X and the screen went to the normal view, with no taskbar this time.

go for this.

The bar you've seen is probably the original WM 6.5.x bar which is normally hidden by default, due to the HTC bar, might be a bug if this old one appears.

You might be right, I've found this picture
That's exactly the bar I saw
Finally, mistery solved
Thanks so much

How do we get back this original WM bar?

I guess if you disable/uninstall HTC Sense... but dunno how

I've tried that. Didn't work. Still get HTC notifications.

Hi check out this thread..

Sorry unable to post links.
Instal the task manager and whenever you tap the clock you will get the bar pop up.

[Q][A few questions regarding wm 6.5.3]

Ok so my first question is... How do you disable the call bubble pop up? I would like to use the default lockscreen's slide to answer... The call screen is pretty ugly in my opinion...
My second question is... How do I fix this? I'm using a treo pro wm 6.5.3 with realvga...

As you can see the words under the world is supposed to be at the bottom of the picture but in this case, something is wrong with the lockscreen. The last 1cm is a glitch? ( I suppose you can say that...)
Thks in advance...
Don't worry about the gray thing in the taskbar. I'll fix it later so it's not a problem.

I use S2U2 to handle both my lockscreen and dialer (which offers slide 2 answer or reject calls)...Get it here...Haven't heard much success wit Real VGA so tell me, which ROM are u using n its performance.

I don't really use S2U2 now because I couldn't change where the slider starts and ends and that really bothered me... So I decided to revert back to the default lockscreen. I'm using trickbiker 121's Windows Mobile 6.5 build 28230. I'm not sure about what performance are you talking about...

Actually in the appearance settings of S2U2, you can can also switch the slider to the middle where sliding to the left toggles between Vibration/Ringer mode and sliding to the right just unlocks the phone....I love such a function as it gives me an easier way to switch back n forth between vibrate n ringer without even unlocking my phone or launching a program.

Hmmm, I was talking about for example, instead of having the slider slide 204px to unlock the phone, you can change it to slide 302px to unlock the phone.

fyi, to get the lockscreen to take your calls, get a program called smart lock

this allows you to enable this from the settings menu =]

Looks cool. People may not try it out though because it's not free, though it does have a demo. I'll give it a try.
*edit*
i've been playing around with this for about an hour now. I like it. damn I might even buy it after the 10 day trial.

Be careful with Pocket Shield.
There is an issue:
If you uninstall the application, you will lost the HTC dialer and get the ugly Wimo dialer.
There is no solution unless doing a hard reset !

Hey who told you that? You just need to change the dialer at PocketShield settings --> Phone tab --> Protect touch screen --> + --> Use standard dialer.
No need to hardreset!
I can also recommend Pocketshield. In fact I have made some skins for it, this is my latest and coolest: http://jdbp.mobi/phorum/read.php?6,10101 and I am so happy they chose it to be the default skin after installing

So after trying it for a few days I uninstalled it. It's nice & all, but I don't like my lockscreen being enabled any time i turn off the display on my HD2. If they'd implement it so that it'd only every be enabled when I press the shield quicklink, I'd probably buy it. I do see in the registry that they disable the lockscreen from being on auto, so I'm guessing it's just part of the program.
I'll stick with the lockscreen in CHT.
