Removing Taskbar Icons

Hi:
I have a Cingular 8125 and I am trying to get more screen real estate. I recently saw a reg edit where you could remove the taskbar icons for the battery and wireless manager, however those registries don't seem to be available on my phone. Anyone know any secrets to get this done??
Also, I am trying for an all black background and in my theme generator, the bottom and top bars are black, but when I install them to my phone, they are grey. I am using theme generator 2.0 and TKCreator, but both don't work for me.
Thanks. Dan

Remove the init_tray from your start up folder - \windows\startup\
You may have to soft reset afterwards.

there's
idcnobar
that removes the bottom bar (which indicate what the left and right softkeys are used for)
it complete removes it, but the icons dont shift down till you slide your keyboard out and back.

The Comm Manager icon is still there.
I did remove the listed shortcuts from Startup and the conn manager icon still insists on being in the tray.

HTC Home Customizer - Launcher icons

Anyone know how to add your own icons for programs you add to the launcher? The default selections had custom icons, but when I add a program from the list to an empty laucher spot, it uses the default windows icon. Can that be changed?

Hmm
If its on the storage card it may not use a icon. How ever if it is in the Main mem it should use the current icon on the shortcut. There is a program to change them but did u install the HTC Home Customizer!?

Yes, I installed the customizer, and chose an Icon set. When i went to the "Launcher" tab, there were about 6 entire already there, like "backlight" and "Launch Program Folder" and "Lock Device"
All of those options had custom icons. However, if I add an app to a blank spot, it uses the default windows icon. Can I provide an icon of my own choosing for the phone to use in that launcher spot?

I would like to do exactly the same. have nice launcher icons for other programs. Like GroupSMS. Help Anyone?

I was poking around in the registry and noticed therfe was a value called iconpath in HKLM/software/HTC something or other. Maybe that would work?

Its best to resize them to 32x32 before setting them as custom icons or your launcher looks messy. Took a while before I could my the Opera icon right I store in the My Pictures folder and Im doing just fine.

How?
You said you were able to resize the icons, did you do that with the directory listed above?

there is a tutorial on the HHC site.

Im having the same issue. Im using the stock Spb MS / Suite / Weather / Plus tabbed layout. When I added programs last night *some* of them showed up correctly, but now this morning after powering back on, many are the default windows icon.Example: Resco registry editor and Resco explorer. I tried changing the icon, but in Spb's menu it only shows icons in Spb's bank of icons.
Very annoying. Still playing....

Iolite M2DC Problems

Hi All,
Firstly, please go easy on me, I'm new to windows mobile.
I am having issues with my O2 Touch Cruise, I have M2D installed and M2DC and have tried a number of backgrounds but all I ever see is the blue background to the home screen. Has anyone got any ideas? Everything else changes and the background to all other tabs changes, just not the home screen.
Any ideas, I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. I've looked at hh_fw_background.png in the windows directory and this image is the correct wallpaper.
Many thanks.
Mark

You should be able to change this under "Settings", "Personal", "Today". There you can select and click a picture as background. Try to use it!
Another solution would be to use M2DC for changing the order of your applications, fonts and styles.

In M2DC go to Background tab clear the path first and then use the three dot button to go to the location where your new background 'png' is located and use it as the new background.(The background photo must be in png format).

Thanks,
I now have a nice looking home screen

Hi, All
Energy.BLACKSTONE.21892.Sense2.5.23.Feb.2010
I have the above rom and was wondering how I can customise the taskbars i.e. colour etc & were is the settings as I can't find them.
Thanks

I currently use Max TF3D Theme Maker v4.1 to customise the appearance of my Home Screen and other screens (even where both the Taskbar and Soft Keybar reside to make them Transparent).
You can download and install the cab (install it to your sd card) for it here.
You first need to set a Background wallpaper first as it will not work properly with just the default background, normally you actually need to set a new background first.
Now, to set the Task bar and Soft KeyBar to transparent using Max TTM, open up Max TTM, go to the WM6.5 tab and under the Component Heading, make sure it is set as Both. Then only select the two bottom checkboxes (Enable Standard Deployment and Soft Reset after Convert), then click the Convert button to enforce the changes.
Hope this helps.
