Have installed Meschles newest 4.01 Touch Rom Full with cube- which is GREAT
What I would like is a little more room for the TODAY agenda; but because of the black lines across the screen, there seems to be no adjustment. Have tried reducing battery status info- but the amount of space does not shrink with it.
Also the depth of the blutooth icon area could do with shrinking.
I really want to try to remove the scrollbar for the TODAYAGENDA so I can see everything (at least as a shrunk tree).
Short of removing batterystatus from the today screen, any ideas anyone????
Thanks
Hi, You could get rid of the bluetooth bar all together by deleting btIO.exe from \windows\startup using file explorer. should give you enough room.
Press and hold the BT logo and then click "exit", voila! BT logo gone, more space available (till the next soft-reset, where you repeat the above)
u can install BS1.04 n minimise it to tray with BTiO so u get 2 lines extra
Thanks guys- the BT icon removal does it for me- just acces through comms manager!!

With WM6 Magic Button draws its region with color different from that of remaining taskbar area (Magic Button area is of the same color, but much brighter).
Maybe it is because of new Microsoft color schemes with gradient filling.
Except for this, program works good.
Power meter works, no hangups after soft-reset.
Tested with Midget ROM (Got it from ed2k network, hehe).

Yes, this is one of the things that will probably make me prefer a good AKU3.5 ROM (e.g. Helmi's 1.3.1) over a WM6 ROM. I think the battery meter in Magic Button is excellent, as is the general task management functionality.
The problem is that Trancreative look as though they might have disappeared off the face of the planet, so a version that allows for skinning in WM6 looks unlikely :-(

Yes, I sent them bugreport, and server replied that message could not be delivered.
I see three solutions:
1) Do not use WM6. But I dont think that it is issue of Windows, so MS or ROM makers will never fix it.
2) Do not use Magic Button. Then question is a good replacement for Magic Button.
3) Maybe it can be fixed with other "theme"?
very sad that the developement stopped... im also searching an alternative to this great tool which has "a skin bug" because it doesnt support the new WM6 skins... well.. *cry*
How about WISBAR? Does it work well with WM6?
I use Magic Button mainly to show an icon of what is running in the background. Is there an alternative app that does this?
I've dumped Magic Button and cLaunch in favour of iLauncher, which seems a great little program. No task list option across the top bar (yet), but a nice drop down task manager if you click and hold the [X], and I have it set up to display when I press the backlight button too.
Works fine with WM6, and I have re-skinned it to look exactly like the battery meter in Magic Button.
Cheers,
Steve.
Hi all,
I've searched both here and google for a plugin to meet my requirements. I'm after a small footprint battery monitor which will sit either in the today screen section of my Orbit or ideally in the same bar as the start button. I've seen a lot that will work but they either seem to be large footprint or just downright ugly. Is there an elegant solution to this problem?
Cheers in advance,
Ben
*edit* I know the stock O2 software comes with a mini battery icon but I stopped the Orbit from installing all of the O2 software because I found it made the device really slow and unresponsive, so i'm running WM6 stock with the HTC settings for O2 MMS/GPRS installed. *edit*
Battery Monitor
Try Batti - nice little app that sits on top of the Start bar and can be customised to different colours etc.

Thank you! Thats exactly what I'm after, the version notes for the most recent version only specify compatibility up to WM5 though, but i'll give it a go and if it works i'll post back.
Thanks again,
Ben
I can confirm that Batti v2.1 works for WM6 even though it's not listed as being compatible on the Batti site.
One comment, it seems if you have the battery info pane turned on for when you tap the battery indicator icon, the calendar button on the bottom left of your today screen is replaced with a notification button that when you press brings up the battery info pane.
I've not experimented to see if turning of the info pane on icon tap will remove the notification button and restore the calendar button.
Ben
Try this one:
Should work also on WM6.

Hi all
Have now virtually achievd my perfect TODAY screen, but for ONE problem. It is just SLIGHTLY too large, thus bringing up a scroll bar on the right hand side- with around 1mm of scroll!!
I have done all I can to shrink and move things, and I believe I now have 2 options left- neither of which I know how to do......
1) Slightly reduce font size on owner information (which I want to keep), AND?OR get the phone no. oto the same line as my name.
2) I wish to keep the screen lock option that appears on today by default (the padlock that stops any screen activations in your pocket). Am wondering if I can add this to one of my SPB PocketPlus tabs as a shortcut- but have no idea where the .exe file is to point to.
Any help much appreciated,
Justin
Why dont you post screenshots. More great suggestions will come in for sure.
Yer tiz.......
Don't laugh- but I love the colouration of the guava theme with the black of the orbit! - just don't like black with black
You can just.... see the tip of the "device unlock" padlock at the bottom of the screen. All is adjusted to optimum (as far as I can tell)- apart from the 2 points I mentioned at the start of the thread- owner info, and device lock shortcut.
Thanks again

Hi bro,
If you made some search through the net you would find the solution. I've made search, I've found the souliton.
Just try the attached file, I think that's exactly what you need...

cant you make the size of pocketbreeze plugin a little smaller?
Or just reduce the size of SPB Diary... in worst case there appears a scroll bar in the Diary window...
SPB diary, and pocket plus have been made as small as possible. The scroll bar to the right is what I am trying to get rid of, ans the today screen extends down too far.
zsitvayb- thanks mate- that zip file has allowed me to shortcut the device lock onto the spb tabs. This has reduced the info at the bottom, and lost me the scroll bar. Can now see 5 days of wether- not 4!!
Would still be interested though in any way of tinkering with the owner info appearance on the today screen....
Remove your soft keys
I use wisbar advanced3, it has the option of removing the soft keys from the today screen, then using AEButton plus I made the soft key buttons have the same function as they originally did, soft key/1 press, contacts/long press, and I have lost no functionallity at all with a bit more real estate. Hope that makes sense. Also the features of WA3 are great and your today screen would look even better with some nice WA3 icons on the taskbar. If only it was free.
Thanks unique boy (tempted to call you uniqua- but unless you have young kids, or are a student you may not know the "backyardigans"!!).
Understand what you are saying- interesting idea. Does the wisbar affect speed at all??

That's not quite true. Remove one of the tabs (in Diary settings). After that you can decrease the height by another 20 picsels or so.
But this would then lose the fuctionality that I built up???
Use this cab to remove soft keys

If you are using SPB 2.5.5 you can make the tabs horizontal and then add a custom tab and inside the custom TAB move the weather or any other today plugin...!
Like what I have done on my screen...
cheers
Have you tried using slide to unlock.
I find this great and you wouldnt need the lock icon on the screen.
Just a though and help you need pm me
WA3
As far as I can tell WA3 does not slow down my artemis. The skin I use is called "reflections" it can be found on lakeridge's forum. Nice new wait cursor, lovely cascading menus, float window. I like it.
Thanks to all- certainly a few ideas there to try.
Keep up the good work- invaluable resource!!!!!!
Can anyone here please help.
On my previous ROM, when I tap on the Radio Signal icon, I had the option to turn OFF/ON the Radio (FlightMode), now I only have option of opening CommManager, this is quit USELESS as there is amongst others already a CommManager icon* on the bottom of the screen AND a DEDICATED CommManager hardbutton on my TyTN and after using CommManager I have to use X-Button to close the damn thing...
Can someone please tell me the Registry key where I can change this back to Radio OFF/ON... Or at least a shortcut icon I can put in HTC HOME plug. to switch Flight Mode ON/OFF without opening CommManager each time.
I flashed my TyTN (Hermes) with WM6 and I am very happy with it. Most of the little annoyances I had with it has been sorted out. Installed the HTC Home Plug, Slither200?s Cube, other 3G dialer, etc, etc...
*Any hack to get rid of this and the battery icon (I use Batty) at the bottom of the Home Screen???
good question. i had the same request a couple of months ago. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340567)

Yes, here are the keys (from the wiki):
Remove the Battery Icon:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\Power]
"ShowIcon"=dword:00000000
Remove the Wireless Manager Icon:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\WirelessMgr]
"Keep"=dword:00000000
You can also use Schaps Adv Config, which automates most common registry hacks for you.
The problem is, if you hide one or both some roms can hang when booting up, so i recommend only hiding one.
Thanx

Hi all!
I'm trying to make a ROM mainly for myself based on tomme45i's kitchen. I've gone pretty far with it, and I'll maybe publish it if anyone interested.
BUT now I'm having some problems with the ROM.
1. I've played with the settings of the clock/battery display on the tray. On other ROMs if I tapped on the battery, it opened the Power Settings window. Here I can't manage it. Same problem, if the clock is shown instead of the battery. Also as you can see, the battery icon is placed a little too close to the edge. Any ideas where can I adjust it?
2. Start menu. Exactly my problem is that the icons are not highlighted, so if I'm using the jog wheel for scrolling, I can't see which icon is selected (for better explanation see screenshot).
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
S100200
One of them fixed
Okay, I've managed to fix the Start Menu issue, a file was missing.
But the battery/clock tap-thing is still a question.
it's getting worse
Okay. I've managed some things to work, but now nothing happens if I tap on the tray icons. Only the start menu and the X-button works...
Something went wrong, but I can't find it...
Can someone help me with these issues?
Getting closer.
Okay, tray icon problem solved, the HTC X-button 1.5 was the problem. I uninstalled it, now the icons work normally.
BUT:
I've tried HTC Task Manager 2.0 ripped from a Hermes ROM, and it doesn't work at all.
Any ideas,why?
