Remove missed call/text icon??

Hi,
I recently purchased SPB Phone suite software which displays an Icon on the desk top if I have a missed call or text message. I no longer need the Orbit to also display missed call/text icons on the task bar. How would I go around removing the additional task bar icons.
Please can someone explain this to me in a "step by step way"........I have had many one line answers however, due to a real lack of knowledge I seem to fall a the first hurdle!!!!!
Please help
Cheers
Rob.

wm 6.1 threaded sms questions/possible requests?

i recently flashed to 6.1, and am so far liking the threaded app quite a bit...but was just wondering if there was anyone who knew how (or if its possible) to change 3 things:
1. enable swiping from one conversation to another when instead a thread.
2. enable the date and time in the pop-up notification bubble.
3. enable a decent-sized picture in the pop-up notification bubble.
thanks

Sadly, I would be willing to bet that none of that is possible but I would love to have someone show me otherwise.

i agree, but crossing my fingers...

Some of my messages from the same person are not seen in the "chat" style, but in a separate message, which is really weird.

Sliding Panels Customisation

I was just looking for a little advice on how to move some of the items on the sliding panels.
All I want to do is change the order of them, instead of having Missed Calls - Voicemail - Text Messages - Email, I would rather have it as Text Messages - Email - Missed Calls - Voicemail.
What would I need to edit this? What file? Where?
Do I need any specific software or can it be done with something like notepad2?

as far as i know you cant modifiy the order...atleast not yet. I could and proabably be wrong

that has nothing to do of what he wants

your right, my bad.

Sorry, but it's not possible to do that with the current knowledge we have of the panels. Maybe later... who knows...

What about getting it to have dark text, or dark graphics? I would really love to be able to do something with some lighter homescreen backgrounds Im working on.

Ah! I saw TextBlack.scheme.xml in \Windows... does anyone know what the hook was to link it to sliding panel?

yeah man, goto home screen > Color scheme > Text: black

I Havnt Tested Rickys V9 And Below(but In Version10 For Sure)
In Your Settings-homescreen-color, You Can Select Black Or White Text, I Doubt This Changed The Start Bar Color But I Didnt Pay Attention... (also, Play Around With The Settings And Everything Else On The Phone...i Found Different Clock Options And Im Extremely Happy With This Version!)

could this be added to chome

Im on Ricky's v.4 at the moment, I was wondering what the technical method was of adding the black text, so I could preload it into a color scheme, appropriate to a given default wallpaper, button color, etc.

Hey you, black text? see attachment
extract...you know where it goes

AH, I get it now. I had been meaning to flash when I convenienly frozed my phone. It adds the black (or, white) text to the last picked color scheme. Nice!
Okay, now how do I mod the panels to black, and the icons in the top left corner of each? any starting spot? I didnt find anything that looked like a good lead in the .cpl or the .home...
Thanks, gang.

for the order of items in the panel, this might be useful:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2068381

not sure if this is true for all but whenever I set the text on a theme to 000000 it comes out jagged so i would suggest using 222222 or 111111...dark enough and not jagged.

I'm tempted to make a new thread, but this so seems like the right place. I've got the text themes working. Very well. I now can make my home screen a dizzying mess!
I am sure there is a way to make the panels themselves dark. Is it in a .dll in \windows? I cannot get some of them to copy, like, all the onse I want to pick at. Not that I am sure that my skills with ResHack are up for it. Anyone else interested?
I've got your chomebar.zip, now i am trying to integrate it.

Call Button Screen

Anyone knows how to change the blue image that appears on top when you press the call button that says "smartphone" in Kavana's WM6.1 080408??? Or where to drop an image with the same name so I can replace it??? If so, what's the image name...

No Problem!

All you need is a pic you want to change this to. Rename it cprogback_land.png and drop it into your Windows folder. This will help you avoid messing with you registry. I have a sample one below that you can use. It has the numbers that correspond to the letters on a dial pad, so if you want to dial 1-800-BelowMe, you would know what numbers to hit from your screen's background. There are some threads that you can search for as well that are devoted to this discussion.

Dialing a number screen
Hey thanks man, I really appreciate your help, but that image is the call status background, I've already did that and it worked when I wanted to change it. The image I'm talking about appears when you're dialing a number, above the space where the numbers are written, when I had my Dash with WM6 there was a bar with the HTC logo on it, I want to put that image there. I'm attaching it so you can see it...

Will this do?

Bar on the top...
Well, I don't know if that's the background image in the dialing screen in your phone but thanks anyway. I'm attaching a picture that shows the screen I'm talking about, actually, is a picture of WM6 but instead of the bar at the top with the HTC logo, in Kavana's ROM appears a blue one with SMARTPHONE to the left, I'd like to change that bar for the one I posted before...

Will have a go at getting it all green.
My dial screen is the same as yours, except the Smartphone is displayed on the right.

I think this might be a good thread for the kind of thing you're after.
Good work.

Thread
Hey man, thanks for the thread, they solve the issue of the small banner that says "smartphone" but put some numbers there, I just want the original banner from HTC with the logo on it instead of the "smartphone" banner...LOL!!!

Restore HTC banner on the dial screen
So, there's no way to restore the HTC banner on the dial screen instead of the one that says smartphone on the right? Somebody knows how to do that without using any .cab file? Just replacing it by renaming the picture for example...

Ok..I'm reading this thread and im confused!!

I have done a .png that has the banner @ the top and transparent under or do you want bellow banner white? Then just place in the folder location Outer posted, back up original incase you want it back?
Will upload both in morning as using Dash.
Am i on right lines?

Here is a cab.
Check this out man. I got tired of reading the posts that try to help you, so instead I just made a cab for you to install. You will have to reboot your phone, but it will do exactly what you want.

Hey O, you did it, that's exactly what i was asking for, but i don't know why the banner looks kinda blurry, if you want i'll send you the original image so it will looks better, because i couldn't upload it here because it exceeds the size of the attachment.
Very good job man, thanks...

this one looks better
Here, use this one, I guess paint doesn't work as well as photoshop for converting jpg to gif, go figure.

One more question...
I just wanted to know why this rom's doesn't keep that simple details, it's what normal people like me loves about this phones...

Hey Outerdepth do you have that htc logo but in the blue version? Doesnt have to be a .cab file

create an icon that represents "extra"

hey guys, this question is a bit too broad i guess. i need to create an icon that represent the word extra and not the newspaper, cause it would have been very, very easy. i can't think of an image that could represent others or extra without wordings. this icon is to be used for an android app. so guys if you have any idea, please let me know.
thanks....

Depends a little on your context. Can you elaborate on what is going to be "extra"?
Things which came to mind: ... in case you are actually looking for "more", +1 if you want to order an "'extra" pizza.

what about a system cog image with a large X in the middle or a X but with one of its corners an arrow that might work well

I would go with a simple plus "+" or "+1" if you want to add something with your extra option. Otherwise maybe just three simple dots "..." would do? But yeah, a context would be nice for more suggestions

Have you found it? you can refer to symbol of vector, wave (connect to wave of wifi ), or "+"

the things that might appear under/inside that icon is open door and do not disturb. well i've searched about wifi and stuff so i know them, most of the time i am using "common sense" to create icons. i create icons similar to what i've already seen and i've never seen an "extra" icon before.
