Icon that indicates the device's activity - Windows Mobile Software Development

Hello,
i'm searching for a little program that indicates a Windows Mobile device's activity (loading files etc.). It should be an icon for the upper bar and should flash as even a Desktop-PC's HDD-LED does.
Would someone do create such a program? Is it possible to create it?
Thanks in advance.
Sincerely, nitrate

Hide Taskbar

Hi,
I want to hide or disable the windows taskbar, the commandbar and the startmenu. I've tried to use a registry editor to deactivate the taskbar but it didn't work. My own application is in fullscreen mode,
but I want to hide the taskbar and the commandbar in other (not self programmed) applications, too.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you for answering...!
I 'm not that technical but I may give you a hint ... you may take a snapshot of the registry DB before and while running ftxBrowser application. It has an option to hide both task and title bars ... maybe this will show you the effective Key name & value
Thanks a lot,
but that doesn't help me...
FtxBrowser doesn't run on my pocket pc (mda 3.19.03).
haven't programmed the pda, but have done a number of windows apps. Try changing the size of the bar to 1 pixel wide.

O2 standard Apps

Does anyone know where I can download and install the standard O2 apps that are installed as part of the WM5 customization after a hard reset?
I've just upgraded my Orbit to WM6 and am missing these as they were really useful. I'm not intrested in other apps as I know these O2 ones worked fine and didn't drain the battery etc etc.
The 3 I'm after are,
1) Running Apps for the Today screen
2) Battery Meter
3) Memory usage Meter
4) O2 task manager shortcut Icon
Thanks.
These will be the ones I'm after, all shown on this review just before half way down the page in the screen shots.

Meters allows you to show up to three level meters for Battery, Memory, and Storage card. Each meter can be tapped on to show; a plain bar, the bar with percentage, or bar with Mb free.
Running Apps displays a simple line of icons indicating which programs are currently running in the background, tapping the icon switches to that program.
Shortcuts allows for up to five shortcuts to be configured for launching, tapping on the icon launches the program.
Task Manager - this is activated via the 'O2 bubble' which resides in the bottom bar of the today screen. A single tap on it brings up a brushed metal pop-up which displays the running applications and an options menu. The 'X' next to the listed applications allows each application to be terminated manually when required. Options allows you to select which O2 Custom Today applets are usable on the Today screen, as well as allowing you to define the shortcuts for the Shortcut applet.
They are all in the 'Items' menu of the 'Today' setup in preferences. You need to turn on Meters, Profiles and Shortcuts.
Thanks for the reply and they woudl be if I was still running my O2 ROM and it had run the customization to install them after a hard reset but I've upgraded to BEBE's WM6 ROM which doesn't have any of the O2 utils loaded.
Anyone else on where I can get these? Would anyone with an O2 Orbit ROM be able to pull the customization CAB install files out of their ROM somehow for me?
I just sent you a PM. I can email them to you.

Can you upload these files somewhere?
I just checked the ftp site and they are already there...

Big thanks to Mark for that and the email. All loaded on and the meters runnings apps and O2 bubble task manager are all there and I'm almost back to where I was on WM5..
However SPB Time fails to wake up the phone from a screen saver locked state with sound, sure it'll flash up the screen with snooze or dismiss red and green buttons but no sound errm kinda makes it useless as an Alarm Clock and as I'm sure all the rest of you out there do I really rely on my phone as an Alarm.. I've been late 2 days in a row now because of this, no joke so.. errm kinda critical for me to get fixed..
Any ideas people. I've even un installed the paid for version I had and installed the latest version (trial) from their site

Hello,
At the risk of sounding stupid, I've just downloaded the zip file for the extended roms. I've unzipped it and gathered from the config file that I should place the cab files in specific locations... My question is, is there a (semi)automatic way of installing it? If not, should I follow the paths found in the config file? Also, there are a few files missing, ie the bmp files, do I need them? Lastly, what about the config.txt the file... where is that to be placed?
Sorry for the barrage of questions Noob here, just want to make sure I understand this the right way!
Thanks for all the help!

Please suggest applications

I guess that this is the right place for application requests.
I am looking for an application which displays battery meter with a thin line at the very top of the display. I know that Magic Buttoh has this ability, but unfortunately i am using other task manager.
I would also appreciate if there is some application, which allows me to get rid of the Signal Meter and the clock from the taskbar.
Thank you in advance!
Check here LINK there are some!

how to customise home screen, help needed

hi guys,
I was wondering if someone could help. I have done a lot of searching but unable to find an answer. I am using the GXFX's rom which I am very pleased with. I also tried to install sushi's touchflo 3d config.cab file on top of this but get errors referring to 'exception errors', so I removed it. What I would like to do is
a. customise the home screen to add new icons. At the moment I have the large clock, call history and calendar. Is tehre any way of adding more icons or changing this screen without losing existing functionality and stability ?
b. How can i put an icon that open a web page to a certain url address, is this possible. I am thinking of terms of say windows XP. Maybe I am asking too much.
many thanks for your help.
can anyone help please ?
