I noticed that under setting> Home> Display clock in taskbar, that this give you option of having ONLY your digital clock "OR" your battery icon. Not both.
Without installing something like battclock, etc, Is there a way to make both the clock and batter to be present but not overlapping?
Thanks.
Battclock seems to be the only way.

i refuse to use it because the background is not able to go transparent. its always some solid color. And plus, it uses more RAM.

Does anyone know if SPB PocketPlus battery bar works on HD2? I used to use this on my TytnII, but I haven't tried it yet on my HD2.
personally im using the "Display clock in taskbar" option along with VistaHide Battery Gauge, so i got a nice little bar on the top of the screen showing the battery and the clock in the taskbar.
(it looks something like this)

lol. i only see the battery in the task bar. the clock isnt' the clock is on manila.
the vistahide battery meter suggestion is meaningful (as you can see in the screenshot) because the battery can now be represented by the 1-2 pixel line across the top of the screen, leaving the default battery meter free to be changed to the time/clock.
however, i understand your requirement because i am also searching for this solution. i remember back in the days of WM6.0 and WM6.1, the "display the clock on the title bar in all programs" worked a bit better. it would show battery when on the home screen (because your home screen might display a better and bigger clock) and it would show the clock when an application/program was in the foreground. i really miss that behavior in WM6.5, though WM6.5.x handles this situation a bit better if i remember correctly.
the link on my previous post, is just the vistahide battery gauge ofc.
i have attached the screen of my phone this time to check the whole thing.
the bar shows that i have more or less 50% battery left
i dont like the rainbow looks. is it possible to make the meter one solid color? anyone?
any solution to this guys?

So many threads coming up with a search. Can someone easily tell me how to remove the battery icon from the top bar in my Orange SPV 3100
Many thanks.
HTCustom does it easy. There are links all over for it. Although if you remove it the blank spot also covers up the "sound" icon and part of the reception icon
Well wait. I just noticed you said battery. Default there is the clock. So you've changed it before? HTCustom will still let u change this (UI tab i believe) but it sounds like you've changed it before.
I haven't done much - I have just allowed user information on the screen, which takes care of the clock, as this now shows in the "today" area. The battery icon has replaced where the time was on the top bar. I will try HTcustom and see what happens!! thanks for the help.
We have a Diamond Background Changer which changes wallpaper according to time of the day. Would it be great also if we also have a wallpaper changer that can changes background according to battery life remaining?
Probably we can also 'remove' the battery indicator at the top taskbar (freeing up space for a cleaner look) if such an app is possible.
* Just a suggestion. I do not have any programming knowledge hence i don't know if this is even possible.
Thank you
Would you really install it and use it?
sure its, even quite "easy" to do, just adapt the mortscript from the daylight background changer, to take the batterystatus as input instead of the time...
i remember i saw some commands in the mortscript manual whic make it possible to read out battery status...
but on the other hand, why would you want it? you already have a battery indicator right on top of all things....
having a changing background to indicate status doesnt seem logical to me...
Well Ithink it would be very handy if the background would slowly change from green to red using backgrounds in according colours...
i think it's a great idea.
of course i would use it, haha. I have to admit that i'm an app / rom junkie.
Anyway i was thinking if it would be great to remove the whole top and bottom taskbars for a totally 'windowmobileless' look. BUt to do that we need something to replace the battery/ network/ connection/ sound indicators.
The Quickstart menu shouldn't be a problem as i have high hopes for 'touchlaunch'
I actually think this is not a bad idea at all. If you look at some of the colour battery icons, this kind of makes sense. The moment your phone is activated for whatever reason, you can immediately see that status of the battery, without having to look at the (rather small) icon on the taskbar
Hence.. Hello to developers.. any takers?
Great idea, I would use it too! We could add a corresponding battery symbol on each wallpaper, like in S2U2 but smaller
Cool idea, I think also if the wallpaper could change based on the weather that would be really cool.
When you activate the to show the Battery at S2U2 the wallpaper disappers. I tried to find the backgrund in the gfx folder, but there are only some for a small part of the screen. The rest stays black. Is it possible to change the screen?
Dude... seriously?
I'm not one of those guys that loses their minds at people who don't use the search function. And yes, I know everyone has to start somewhere... but c'mon.
I use search functions, but in this case I don't seem to find the information. The rest of editing is quite simple. But the hole screen thing with battery I don't find .
My god, it's in the S2U2 settings man!!!!!
The normal wallpaper is in the settings, but if I change to showing the Battery, the wallpaperr is gone, and I just have a green battery on a black wallpaper.
The included S2U2 settings lets you choose when to have the battery screen show up.
However, when you choose the battery screen, your chosen background goes away and you are indeed left with a black background and a charging green battery. This is supposed to happen. I don't believe the default settings allows you to choose a background WITH the battery showing. Someone correct me if I am mistaken.
Unless there is some workaround, you have to choose between your wallpaper or the huge green battery w/ black background. I personally just have the battery show up when i plug my phone to charge

Go into the S2U2 customization thread. The skinners there have designed some batteries without background i recall.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=354111
Bill80, you'll have to do some serious graphical editing of your battery files.
As previous posters stated, background is intentionally black when charging, and there is a thread which covers editing and modifying S2U2 graphics.
Sorry, but you'll have to read most part of that thread.

Thanx for the answers . I played around with the battery files, and got it at he end. Just scaling the wallpaper file down to the screen resolution, cutting it in 3 parts and overlaying the middle part with the battery (making it transparent). Replicate and widen the middle part to design the look the battery state, and voila.
The tread is over 500 pages long, impressiv. I had looked the before (also via search function), but just to many information to be usfull (at least for me).
What do I need to do to get a clock to show at the taskbar ?

start - settings - menu - more - clock and alarms - more tab - click clock in all programs in the taskbar. Dunno
Go to the Settings Sense tab, tap Menu -> All settings; tap Clock & Alarms, tick the "Display the clock..." checkbox, and OK. It won't work if you've got something like the 1% battery taskbar hack set up, though.

I enabled the clock to be permanently in the top right and now I have no battery indicator at all!! I have no hacks running either.
So looks like you can have a battery indicator OR time display. Not both

Jep. A little sad that the icons have to be so big and clumsy on winmo... on android there is room for all of it + alot of notifications compared to winmo - even on the smaller 320 x 480 screens...

Yes, i've noticed that too. It's just so inexcusable, so basic and so simple and they've had SOOO long to iron these basics out, yet WM consistently throws up so many silly issue like this.
Doesn't fill me with hope for WM7!

Hi,
I'm on stock rom. I was wondering how can I display the clock as well as the batt together on the taskbar? I set to display the clock on all program but then the batt indicator would disappear. Any advise? Thanks.
Use VistaHide Battery Gauge
Wanting to see the clock all the time, I ran into the same problem given the time paints itself on top of the battery icon. So, I use this nifty little program called Vistahide Battery Gauge recommended in an HD2 tips thread. Cannot post a link so please do an internet search and you will find it.
Hi,
I need to know if there are any programs or settings that would clean all the temp files on your HTC HD2.
As well, can anybody tell me how do I change the Icons from above the screen (wifi, battery, network, etc) and how do I remove COPILOT from the stock rom?
Thank you very much for helping.

In terms of clearing temporary files I use a combination of Clear Temp (which is free) and SKTools (which cost me c.£15). These both do the trick pretty well from my perspective.
In terms of changing the icons in the taskbar do a search on xda as I remember seeing a post (or two) detailing how to do this. (I haven't done it myself yet).
In terms of Copilot I haven't used it at all yet (I've only had my HD2 for a week or so) but I presume you can remove the folder from the relevant Program Files folder. There are also some files on the included storage card, I think.

I use BattClock (which is free). It's a neat little tool that is pretty configurable. I currently display the time, date and battery percentage remaining (which changes colour depending on what the value is (i.e. 80% = green, 40% = yellow, 15% = red)). It displays on all screens, except those that take over the taskbar (such as Opera mobile 10).
Thanks for all the recommendations!
Was wondering if win6.5 is able to display both time and batt together like below?
