Hiding/Disabling The Recently Opened Programs Bar?

I tried searching for other posts about this, but I didn't find anything helpful. Maybe because I didn't really know what to search for. When you click the start button, the menu comes down and above the menu are icons of programs you've recently opened. Is there any way to get rid of that? It does nothing but take up room. If I want to open those programs again, I can find some of them on the start menu or the application launcher on my today screen.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] App to show all the running apps in tray?

Does something like that exist? I would like to see all the running programs as icons in the tray on today screen. So I don't forget something running and eating up my battery.
I know I can press the upper right corner to see these apps and open or close them from there, but I would prefer seeing them in the tray and being able to tap the icon to open the program. Tap and hold to close would be excellent. iGO 8 and palringo, for example, will show up in tray.
So it doesn't exist?
I think not. I was also searching quite a while for something like this and it doesn't seem to exist. I would also think of this as a very practical application for the tray since there is no real task bar in Windows Mobile.
I chose a somewhat compromise - HTC_TRAY allows you to put shortcuts into the tray which are launching apps, but when they are already running, it is also simply bringing them to foreground. Since you need the stylus anyway to tap the tray icons, I just put apps there which I usually control with the stylus. With HTC_TRAY app I also have a battery meter and a rotate icon. In the tray I can also see the currently selected phone profile with PhoneWeaver - that was basically the reason why I didn't want to hide the tray.
sort of Windows (desktop) tray ??
guess not... but would be great
sounds like WKTask to me.

definitely wktask, it also has a battery bar on top.. and a lot more functions.
its my favorite program for ppc.
Yeah, but wktask uses the upper task bar instead of the tray, right? Since the tray is already there when programs show tray icons and the taskbar already shows information like network, time, sound, start etc., there's not much space for icons left. WkTask using the tray instead of the task bar would be perfect.
why not use the one that is built-in to the unit? go to Windows\TaskManagerApp.exe. you can run the application or stop the selected or stop all running applications.
and if you're going to rely on this app, just assign it to one of the left or right hard keys..

Yeah, but it's better to have it in one glance on the today screen which apps are currently running. Especially with the stylus, you could then quickly switch between applications or terminate them from there. Since you have the tray anyway and can't really get rid of it, I think this would be the best application for it - a small icon based task bar. I really like that idea too.
Well, I guess there's no such thing yet. Maybe some smart guy will read this thread and make a small app for this, I'm sure it's not that hard to do.
try truetoolbar

@mgfung - It's more like a launcher and has a ton of unwanted features. All I want is something simple, only to show the running apps in the tray - tap an app to maximize, tap and hold to close or to have some sort of menu in which I can choose "close".
I don't want to use the upper space (taskbar) because it's already cluttered by the system icons (that I want to have there). I also don't like that these taskbar apps will also change the functionality of the X/ok button in the right corner.

Nice feature in tabbed windows

Hi all,
I accidentally discovered this feature: if you are using an application that makes use of the tab control, you can swipe anywhere on the window to the left or right in order to change tab.

Question on moving apps an the icon

Hi,
(I read the first 15 pages and used the search but couldn't find something abaout my question)
When I download and install games or apps, they come in the application screen.
Now I can drag the icon to the starscreen, resulting in an icon in the app screen and one on the startscreen.
Can I move the icon to the startupscreen without making a copy of it, so it is out of the app screen?
I can remove it from the startscreen, but not in the app screen unless I uninstall it.
Thanks.
Its not a copy, its a shortcut. And you can't remove it from the drawer unless you uninstall it.
This should be asked in the general android section, not x10 specific.
sent from my x10i that is banging for a 2.1 upgrade. ...
yes, I know it's a shortcut, that's the reason why it can be deleted.
Problem is off course that the app screen wil be full after a while.
It would be interesting to move the app icon (so not a shortcut) to a map e.g. games on the startscreen.
I'm going to ask it also in the android section.
It's not always clear if it is an android or a phone matter.
(but if enyone know some kind of solution feel free to post it here )
There is no solution,
and it isn't really a problem.
Put your more commonly used apps on your main screens (like maybe tools/utilities on one screen, games in another, etc).
You can make folders on your start screens and put shortcuts in that, so that way you won't need to look at the app screen.
The app screen acts as a reference to everything you have, and it prevents any of the apps being deleted by accident since only the shortcuts are created on the main screens.
Yes, that's the way I do it now, creating maps on the (left) startscreen.
And no, it's not really a problem, but since I'm a new x10 user (love it by the way), I do a lot of downloads and find every app interesting (even the horn ).
Thanks for the input guys.

Apps List Button

Hi,
I have installed Cyanogen on my Tattoo, and to access to the apps list i used the middle button on three shortcuts (on the bottom of the screen).
But i replaced these shortcut by another and now i dont know how to go to the apps list (i am not talking of the apps list in settings).
Can somebody help me? Thanks in advance.
Click menu then add then activities and find apps launcher or something like that, click on it. That will get it to your homescreen then take that and move it to your dock
