I have a V1605 vodafone UK at the bottom of the today screen, it has a small section displays battery icon and comms icon. When programs are running, they do not appears in the bar, however tomtom does, if tomtom is running you can see tomtom icon in this bar.
Can anyone tell me should I see all running programs here ?
Is there anyway to remove this bar ? Its using up vital real estate.
Bottom menu bar is the tray. Apps can stick whatever they want in there - check out PHM Tray Launch of VJTrayLaunch. Only selected icons appear, not all running apps (although I think the O2 extensions makes this an option).
I don't like the tray, and made solutions in the past to remove it, but it needs updating for WM5 (VJToggleToday).
There are a couple of other apps that do the same, try reading the end of my thread to find the name. A Russian program I think.

I was looking for a task manager.
I found valksoft true toolbar, its fab, it uses that tray area and shows running apps, you can switch to or close them, now that bar is useful.
Can I also had VJtray launch would they work together ?
In your pics I see it using the area where the hard button menu is, is that what it replaces ?
PHM Tray Launch is a better app then VJTrayLaunch due to the fact that I haven't rewritten VJTrayLaunch yet...
But yes, a tray launcher should co-exist with other tray apps.
I Use VJToggleToday II to remove my softkeys/start bar. Search on this forum for info.

Hi all,
Can you help me find this utility I used to have?
It would display your running programs in the top toolbar and would display the battery power as a bar along the top of the screen (and keep the clock in the top right corner).
I can't remember what it was called, and lost it when I dropped my old XDA Exec.
Have new Exec - and would like to reload this really useful bit of kit.
Have searched on the web, but to no avail...
Ta,
Mike.
Levenum's was a superb one, and I think it also got mashed up by someone else after.

Cheers for that - Magic Button was the one...
When I installed it on my XDA, it automatically put the battery bar on the top of the screen as a white bar indicating battery life.
I still can't seem to get the clock in the taskbar full time though - it is there when running a program, but disappears when you go to the home page.
Any Ideas?
Mike.
helllo.
previously in WM6 i've tray icons - colored battery indicator and commmgr icon in standart in tray.

using icons or not is 100% an application thing
different roms is missing programs
that use the trey for icons then one can often get
the programs from the old rom which does use the tray

Still using vjay's toggle. Via the registry you can change the pixel size that it shrinks to (the default setting is 4 pixels). Use about 17 for the start bar-
HK local machine\software\vijay555\toggle...
ok, i got this now.
but theres a little problem. i have putted a shortcut to vjay's toggletoday in startup. and after SR there is no tray on bottom. its show for a milisecond and disappear. i think that the problem is in order of running startup apps... first the batterystatus with tray icons, then VJToggleToday - and the tray is gone

There are programs you can use depending on your phone. HTC Custom and Schaps Config Tool both can remove everything from the tray launch.
thank you maevro for the reply..
i am surprised that i missed it

Hi, could you tell me where in Advanced Config Tool should I go in order to do that? I didn't find anything related to that - or, better said, I didn't see....
thank you
Is it possible to put bar gauges above and below the bottom bar (soft key bar) like dci battery and qwerty memory does on the top bar(task bar)?
I'm currently using dci battery and qwerty memory and also battclock. I like lots of info on my home screen, but don't want any redundancy and don't want to cover up some task bar items I like.
I just got the new version of battclock and it's got some nice capabilities, but I don't want to use them all on the task bar. I do want to replace the little battery gauge, but nothing else on my task bar. I use wktask and like how it shows open apps on the left side of my task bar (wish it had more capabilities like mmtask or arkswitch or whatever they are, but that's another issue)
I do like some of the other info battclock offers, but wish I had another way of displaying it. What I would like to do is display two more bars like dci battery and qwerty memory does except at the bottom of my screen above and below the bottom bar (softkey bar).
Does anyone know of anything like that or if it can even be done? If it can be done and doesn't exist does anyone feel like developing it?
Moved as not software release.
Looking for an app to launch apps/shortcuts from the notification bar.
I have the recent tasks thing on my pull down, and I'm looking for something like that but where I can pick my apps/shortcuts. (IE, pull down the notification bar and one ONE line have 4+ icons of my favorite apps. Slide the bar left & right for more apps).
I don't want a program that I can launch from the notification bar that in turn pops up a folder of icons (Folder Organizer, App Launcher both can do this). That's one click too many.
No home button or hold search either - if I wanted that, I'd go back to Power Strip
Thanks for any help. Having no luck in the market again. I'm starting to think it's simply not do-able or I'd have found it by now.

ToggleBar is the closest I've seen.
Thanks, that's one I have not seen. I like how it's a combination launcher/toggle/contact. Needs some work. Would like to know why we have to do the extra step (pull down bar, launch this app, launch app you actually want to use).
Also suffers from ugly icon on tray (I guess I can modify the apk). Also wonder why you have to have an icon (an invisible square is no help either) - other apps don't need to have something in the bar to be available on the drop down.
Will try this one out.
Currently using Calendar in Status bar Trial which I have set to launch Organized Drawer - but at least the icon is functional (showing the day & date).
Also - noticed an app called ncut, but crashes on my phone, possible gingerbread problem.
