How to get the Clock on the Top Bar? - General Topics

Is it possible to get the Clock to show on the top bar while in the home screen as it was in PC2003? WM5 has replaced the clock with a battery icon which isnt very informative as its only a 2 stage indicator.
Thanks

This is actually a change new to AKU2 - pre-AKU2 there was no battery icon there. Please try this thread:

It doesn't contain the solution, but it's a pre-existing thread on the subject

Well, until someone comes up with a 'natural' solution, you can try my today plug-in:

Its not perfect, but it will put the clock not your task bar.
Also, there's nice program called Wisbar, which lets you do just about anything you want with your taskbar:

WKTask on WM6.5

Is it possible to make wktask background transparent in wm6.5?
In wm6.5 im forced to set black or very dark wallpaper if i wanna use wktask cause otherwise bar seen behind the icons of running apps.
Or maybe is there other app shows running apps in taskbar icons..?
attached some examples of what i mean:
Hi,
there is an option in register "design" - Force 3D design even it flat theme
disable this option and the bar should have the style you want...
but don´t really know if this works on transparent backround too....

It's great!
Does it have same feaures (program icons on the top bar) than Wktask?
See the screenshots.
yeah but is the ugly X blue icon? the close one?
Nopes. That's the program icon.
It shows like this:
And why are icons on the active program title? Is it normal?
Errr, how would you switch tasks if there wasn't any icons in the active program bar?
yep but wktask can hide the title when more than 1 program launched. Not this one? It's very ugly with the icon mixed with title.... Are there people here who accept it?
This is a simple and effective program.
But you are too complicated for me.
I give up.
it look pretty good, but jst because icons come on the titles.. I will wait for releases

looking for a solution for transparent background. Would make my taskbar so much more beautiful.
I realised that despite disabling the battery meter on top, there is stil some extra 5 pixels of additional taskbar (for the battery meter). On WM6.1, disabling it takes away the extra pixels, but not on WM6.5.x
Using Energy Rom 21895 WM6.5.5
I posted a TIP thread a few months back... hope it helps

Both Battery and Clock on Title bar

I have seen pictures of ROMs with both the Battery and Clock on the title bar, but I cannot figure out how to do this. I searched and found a program that kind of does it, but it was just text and honestly looked pretty ghetto. Is there any way to have the default battery icon and clock on the title bar at the same time? Thanks for the help.
Dunno what you mean by "Getto", but Battclock can do this. Infact it can display 3 stacked updates using only one "footprint" in the top bar.
Have a look here: http://touchlockpro.sourceforge.net/BattClock.html
Is there no way to have it with the default icons/text, rather than just an overlay with no icons?

[19.06.2010] Icon Changer!! CHT 1.8 I Need Additional Help, PLZ

Since the launch of DINIK - Anastasia - MODS - By You thead, I have been very interested in switching over all my icons to the glass appearance. I ran into an issue last night when i went to switch the Garmin Mobile XT icon on my SD Card, JWD Icon changer came up with an error stating it can't change icon for a shortcut.
I have read the instructions, and i understand how to get all programs that are unregistered to update and added to the icon changer menu. However I cant navigate to my SD card and change Garmin's icon. I really want this glass icon added to CHT, in fact all my icons changed to DINIK glass theme in time. Please help!! any other Icon changers that are user friendly?
Also I've done a search for Icon changer, i've seen threads in the past, i can't seem to locate anything on xda. maybe there not tagged.

The JWMD Icon Changer are by far the best one... If you cant seem to find the Garmin Icon try to rearrange the icon by change the position on the start menu and then go use Icon Changer to change the icon.
It has something to do with it cant find it before you do that kind of stuff not sure why and only need do this on a few of the added icons.
Hope this was at least a little helpful for you.
Kind regards,

If it still gives you an issue you can find the exe and follow the instructions on creating a new short cut ...
Create you a new shortcut in the startmenu and change that icon ...
Search the forum for info on how to create a new shortcut ...
i know how to create a new shortcut, its simple. even if i do that directly to my start menu. i get the error that icon changer refuses to change that shortcut
im having a simillar issue i think. I try to change an icon, lets say the bluetooth icon for example, i select the icon and select "change icon", but then i cant find any other icons to use. Ive searched the memory card and device memory but cant find them. I need to be able to see the extra icons so i can select which one to use but nowhere to be found. Any ideas?

Useless 3G T-Mobile bar

My home screen has a useless bar under the top taskbar that reads 3G T-mobile and does nothing but waste screen space. Is there any way to get rid of it? CHT doesn't help.
You can edit that line in CHT. Put, If lost please return this phone to (your address here).
LOL. I agree its useless.

You can change the text? Please tell me how. I don't see an option for it in the CHTeditor.
What ROM are you running?
2.13.531.1
ideally i would like to get that screenspace back but if its impossible, changing the text would be ok.
I don't know if CHT 1.8 versions are the same as I'm using CHT 1.7.1, but it's in CHT Editor under Miscellaneous Settings. Look for "Custom Operator Text" and change it to say whatever you want. If you want it blank, just use a space.
Note that only affects the text, not the curtain (the semi-transparent bar). To make the curtain totally transparent, I'm using the Touch X remove top curtian.cab that can be found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584415.
3g T-mobile bar
You can also put date only or clock only and notiification icons,seems to be good use of space for mr.
How about you just move the clock up over the bar.
I also did this and while it removed said carrier bar, it also allowed my weather panel to move up slightly which caused it to hover over the clock panel. This did not look good so i uninstalled this mod.

[IDEA][REQ] Notification Bar Temp & Batt

Hi everyone,
I've been on a search for a mod that would do this but I've come up emptyhanded on my search.
The thing I've been looking the most for is a way to include the temperature in the notification bar.
I really dislike cluttering my home screen with widgets and temp would only use 3-4 characters max. Nothing fancy, just text. Like in the attached image which I photoshopped so the basic concept would be understood. I know you could probably do it with an app but I want the temp to stick to the right of the bar.
The left side of the bar left strictly for notifications.
Does anyone know if it is possible? Is there a mod/app that does this already? Please enlighten me.
P.S. Anyone know how to get a purely text battery icon on the notification bar like on the attached image? Much appreciated.
