Remove the top bar!! X]

I am merely interested in removing a few pixels from the bottom of the start menu / indicator bar at the top of the screen. See, I use Retro Clock w/ a sweet background and a battery bar indicator [wkTask, excellent mgr app] at the top and it would be fiine to see just the sweet minimal gui..
If there already exists a way to remove the top bar, perhaps one of you should post the name of an app ;]
Otherwise, if devs or hackers know a way to shave pixels off an app [by messing with the gui api calls, etc] I would be into hacking together an autorun python script.. Or transparent bar would be good too.. man.. too much to customize. ;]
Cheers,

lots of options exist in this area including the removing of the bar and or reducing its size and or making it transparent. Please either google or use search of this site at the top right of this page. You will get a lot of hits. Keywords "Top bar" or "Tob task bar" or "start bar" etc.
Thanks,
CG

Minimal for the win
FYI PMC TodayShrink will remove the pesky bottom bar.. but the hardware soft keys can still be assigned and pressed.

Dangit!! Don't do that. If this guy doesn't use search we will be answering his questions from here to enternity or have new threads like this one started covering old info. It clogs up the forum. The idea of give them the answer and but tell them to search next time actually hurts this forum. I know it feels good to be helpful but do so by directing them with search topics.
Like right now at the time of this post just 7 topics down in this forum is a thread about top bar. And 2 pages back is another and it keeps going and going. before long the forum will be crowded again with repeat of of information that keeps development threads slowed.
Thanks

welcome to using a forum, what are you, new? people are going to have questions, you don't want to answer them and help, then don't do it, but don't come in here and complain because someone has a question, even if it has been asked/answered multiple times.

Dude shut up. Newb's are people like you. You've been here for a few months and going to try and tell someone who has been here for a few years how to work the site. Sit back, stick the pacifier in your mouth and keep to yourself. And by all means don't try and tell someone who has been here that long anything about site rules. What you have to say may be correct for the sites you normally go to but read the forum rules here and you will find them to be drastically different.

Watch out guys, it's the big bad forum monkey

the end of the world as we know it
clog up the forums huh? define a clog....does it mean wasting your time crying on the forum or getting on with your life after you have used the forum for whatever you want...whenever you are ready let me know ill mail you some tissues for your meaningless tears...i gues you are the first person to cry about someone not searching first ....being a so called noob .... by the way what is a noob is it someone who inexperianced ...who maybe would not know what exactly to search for...maybe if you just not respond the NOOB would then search...anyways quit wasting your time cuz this is the last time im wasting mine

Maybe he searched and didn't find what he is looking for or couldnt' get the wording right
It's happened to me.

well i have the smae question, ive searched and used vjtoggle but i dont like it too much.
i want to hide the top bar from the today screen but not in other apps. like the fullscreen function in Wisbar advance desktop (which im not using anymore so i need an alternative). im already using that dcino (sp?) file in my startup folder to hide the bottom bar from today screen
any options??

although this kid is wrong for starting a new thread when he could have searched to find the answer, it doesnt mean that you have to respond like this....the forum is here to help people gain answers to their questions, the quickest way to do that is to ANSWER THE QUESTION, quit being an a$$

The quickest way is not always the best way. Answer the question only goes to encourage the behavior. So, it is a quick solution with a condratictive affect. Sounds like a lot of the newb's are a little light in their louffers today.

Dude, talk about clogging up the forum and making a thread longer than a couple of replies. If you would have kept quiet and shed tears in your pillow instead, this thread would have been over a page ago.

This is your THIRD post with EXACTLY the same question. You've been answered twice already. Either recycle your own thread, or start searching. That's how we learned.

i agree totally, we were all new at some time but 3 threads on the same thing and not even in the right thread, google and search engine here are your friend

oh i get it .you have a point hu! obvious!, but obviously i didn't get the help i needed ,and maybe just maybe that's why i re posted it the thread .thank you.and your very welcome!
I really don't appreciate you trying to make me look or seem dumb! or what ever it is that you are trying to do .Yeah! you might be good in this forum, but I can put you aside and tell you that you are not good at everything!. trust!!
A simple answer like, "we cant help you" would had been a perfect end of conversation Answer. Now you think about that SIR!
keep a simile on here

I wasn't trying to "burn" you. If you didn't get your answer, why didn't you respond to your own thread. If you had a question about something and asked someone, if their respond wasn't "complete", would you rephrase the question and attempt to get more information or would you not say another word, walk away and ask another person?
I wasn't trying to rub my being good at anything in your face. I understand you are upset because you think I was, and that is why you "attacked back." In this forum, if you didn't get the answer the first time on that one thread, you're not going to get the answer because either no one knows or you didn't ask the question in an answerable way, or it has already been answered a billion and one time and we are tired of answering. Posting the same question three times only gets people even more annoyed. The end result will be that people will be even less likely to reply to you. Just like in real life, if I went up to you and asked you a question, then I completely disregarded your answer as irrevelant, and moved on to the person next to you, the person next to you will probably not think very highly of me.
In short, as I already said, recycle your thread or search. That's the best way to get an answer. Heck, it's really the ONLY way.

... thought about it.... burn!
seriously tho, it wasn't a knock on you. you just did the typical "newb" thing and posted a question without really looking. 99.999% of us (me included) have done that. we want instant answers with minimal effort. sometimes you'll get it, sometimes you won't. sometimes a jackass like myself will shout out "burn" and laugh for no good reason. it's all in fun.
is there a .cab file for thicker skin?

What do you mean by increase speed? If you mean CPU, have you tried using Battery Status (I think that's what its called) You can over clock your CPU with it, but it comes with a use at your on risk warning.

SORRY IF IT'S NOOB/Or has been asked

Ok so i'm new to this whole Android thing and gotta give MEGA props to Origins81 and Amon_Ra who took time outta their days to help me when I was in panic mode (trust me things were thrown lol).Ok so Already bricked one Magic got my replacement (followed Origins81 and Amon_Ra's amazing step by steps) from rogers flashed the Myhero 1.1.1 rom and now i got one last question. How do you stop the phone from charging when connected to the computer. When i was with the htc diamond you could select not to charge when connected, but I just cant figure it out for this device...Doesnt the constant charging mess with the battery? I mean I got two coming in that I ordered from ebay but that aint the point..Again sorry if this has been asked or if it's real "Noob" of me..

There is no way to stop it that I know of and dont post threads with the topic, "SORRY IF IT'S NOOB/Or has been asked" because it gives away how noob you really are and doesnt actually help anyone answer your question. Imagine if every question had a topic like that.....

It is behind the battery cover. Open the battery cover and look at the corner on your left side. It should has a slot labeled SDcard.

ok
Ok got it thanks

There are little tabs at the top corner of the battery on the sides, just use them to tilt the battery away and lift up and out ..

[Q] Change call screen

Is there a way to change the incoming call screen? Instead of the one that you have to drag up to answer?

I'd like to know, too, but it's low on my priority list, so I haven't really dug into it yet.

Hi:
I too would like to know this.
Did anyone find the answer yet?

Not really trying to nitpick, by why would you reply to a thread if you have nothing helpful to say?
I bet you are one of those people who cry and lecture when newbies post questions without searching, even though maybe they spent hours searching, but didn't know the correct terms to use. Well, I've been around this board long enough to know to thoroughly search BEFORE posting. That is exactly what I did, and found the 2 threads you mentioned. I thought that was the whole point of searching, to find old threads pertaining to your question, so you won't have to needlessly start a new thread.
And in reply to your question, neither thread had any helpful replies posted, and they were the only ones I found after hours of searching. I was hoping one of the OPs might have found a solution. And now thanks to you, when someone searches for call screen replacements, they will benefit from your very helpful post
PS: So as to not post a completely useless reply (as the previous poster did), after further searching, I discovered 2 apps that will change the answer screen.
1. Fullscreen Caller ID
2. Incoming Call Plus Beta
