SHortcut on today screen... - General Topics

Hi guys!
Is it possible to add some "shortcut" to a program in the taskbar of the today screen?

http://home.pacific.net.sg/~welic/claunch.html

Please read for example http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=366634 and http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=561&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 for a complete roundup.

If you really want icons in the taskbar as you said, you might want to check out PHM Tray Launch, my own very bad VJTrayLaunch or possibly one of the SPB offerings I think.

PHM Launcher from PHM Tools (www.phm.lu) - like DJUPLIFT says, use the tools mentioned.
thanks...but i wanted to know is there a way for this by modding the registry strings?

No.

If there were, why would people write entire apps to do the same thing?

Unlocking the Wm6.1 sliding panel secrets

I did some digging and found out something about the sliding panels.
They are almost identical to Htc Juno Neo interface
They reside in HKLM/software/microsoft/CHome
The part that is responsible for the panels is this
<plugin clsid="{E9267CAB-02EE-4f37-8216-6BF6A8FF5A71}" name="Bronze" height="266">
<Plugins Order="CClock;CHome;CAppointments;CWelcomeCenter;CWindowsLive;Clinks;CMessage;Cmusic;CMyFaves;CMyphotos;CTestUIplugin;Settings" />
</plugin>
From top to down they are arranged in the order in the home.xml
From side to side they are arranged in the registry, at
HKLM/software/microsoft/CHome/<panel name>/Pages
They are arranged in a simillar format
eg(settings)rofile;Wireless;Ringtone;Background;Task.
There are a total of 12 panels but 3 of them doesn't do anything.
They are
CClock
CHome
CAppointments
CWelcomeCenter
CWindowsLive
CLinks - doesn't work
CMessage
CMusic
CMyFaves - doesn't work
CMyphotos
CTestUIplugin - doesn't work
Settings
Thats all i can dig up for now.
does wm6.1 homescreen work on wm6.0 ? maybe by copying some dll to wm6.0 . ?
Not just by copying and regist them... like any other plugin
i tried to build wm6.0 (based on RUU_Vox_HTC_GER_1.34.407.1) include CHome application/plugin and WelcomeCenter
i also added all needed Registry entry`s
the same problems as CHome version from s730 (tryied that 2 months ago)
i will not get it work
...(no time for that)
@Vener
nice finding...
/windows/bronzeres.dll
ther are the Icons for the slinding panel ... if someone wish to make a better looking homescreen, with other Icons
And I think to play on the RegConfig for the CWelcomeCenter, you can make it to a App-laucher bar ^^ ... I will test it tomorrow ... or soon
Some people are asking for the background pic i used so here it is.

How do you add the extra plugins to the Settings Panel that are named in the Registry under Settings?

Hi
Can you tell us how you reconfigured that "Getting Started" Slide for you own applications.
I think that others are very interested.
Thanks.
Chongie
you don't need to put icons in a dll. a simple .png will do.
for exemple :
"TEXT1"="Internet"
"PICTURES"="\Windows\61.png"
much easier

As a CAB file you mean?
I have no experience in creating a CAB file.
I have created this by manually editing the registry and assigning images..
I am planning to write a sort of manual of how I created this application slide.
If somebody can make a CAB file with manual... By my guest.

Man thats a cool wallpaper,may I ask you a question? When you click the Volume icon or the Battery icon in the Taskbar does it show the details of volume or battery? If I click those icons only one thing is coming out,that is-'Notifications' and under that 'No new notifications'. This should be a bug. If you any solves then please let me know. Thanks.
Here's mine using custom 6.5 rom it's great.

I am using SPB mobile shell 3 here. It's not free though. But you may find it for, ummm, free.... But I will not provide links to warez.
You can download it on a 15 day trial though.
You can try MAX TF theme creator for the font colors. Worked for me recently on 6.1 pro. There may be other ways, but I already was using MAX TF, so it was a simple mod.

Thanks for the compliments on the wall. It was very simple to make using CS4.
The battery and such do not show the status. Only notifications, like you are getting. The reason is: I used a taskbar for an HD, and they are slightly different. Not really a bug.... just a different manila. I will try and create some mods exclusively from td2 files so they will work correctly, although I don't care for the volume and such being interactive in the taskbar, but I will check it out when I get a chance unless I flash to 6.5. Still debating on it.

Depends on what you are running on your phone.
Your question is very vague. If you have the shortcut boxes there you just click the empty box and it pulls up a list.
no i dont have shortcut boxes there!! i have wm6.5 with touchflo3d

Like I said, your question was too vague.
I am running WM 6.5 w/TF3D and have 20 shortcuts there.
I suggest you search for maxcy's Manila themes and get familiar with the different options available so you know what you are asking for.
Shortcut on Home screen depend on the build# of your Manila.
Read lots, the possibilities are endless.
ALdaperan said:

Yes you have touchflo3d but in the 2.1 version of manila.
If you want to have shortcuts in the home page you must change to a rom with manila 2.5
how can i see manila's version?
Go to Settings tab\About Phone\Software Info.
You are likely going to want to flash a custom ROM, assuming you're on the stock one still (If you gave as much info up front as possible before asking, there would be no need to assume).
You really need to start reading about flashing a new ROM.
There are no shortcuts so please read thoroughly.
20 shortcuts in manila 2.1
B&L Group Mod Manila 2.1 as 2.5 with 20 shortcuts
Before install cab, you must install MortScript
It's promising but it's in russian. Any chance to see this app in english?
bugs but its awesome no need for upgrading to 2.5
bugs
well yes first its in russian , second in land scape mode its all gibberish .. the screen become out of place the icons are over each other. also when u change the clock the weather animation covers the analog clock a lil from bottom. also the left key name is wrong and when u pull up the shortcuts they mix with small clock overlapping text. ive used td2 tool 2c for landscape mod.
Developers where are u!!!
isnt there anybody who could modify these cabs n perfect them for manila 2.1 topaz wm6.5 ????
It could be the solution for sence 2.1 users... when it runs ok!
Let's see what will happen here.
on wm 6.1 without TF3D how can i put shortcut on today screen?
I guess you better use SPB Mobile Shell, with or without MrSkip widgets.

Nice but needs to be improved
Programm looks nice although I would rather have 9 icons (3x3).
It is in Russian language, to bad at least English isn't standard.
Hope it will be in English and with less icons soon!
For all who wan't to test, it is uninstallable!

Right - I see what you're asking now.
The wallpaper is actually "overlayed" with the taskbar and menu, so it is fullscreen, but behind those objects.
Search for HDWall (it's not in the Leo section - I believe it's in the Blackstone section, but could be wrong, so do a search of all forums).
That makes hi-quality wallpapers (better than the resized-by-htc wallpapers that you normally get) and it does it for all tabs. You also have the option to skin the taskbar and menu, and even change the slider if you want.
That will do what you ask anyway. Hope it helps

i'm using miri 1.4 rom right now, that one is provided with manila 1922. Hdwall still doesn't support that version. The wallpaper will come out mangled and all weird....

That shouldn't make any difference. It's not making any changes to the OS, just the GUI.

i noticed that when i select titanium as homescreen, the bottom bar is semi transparent, how can i also get that when using sense??? That would fix half of the problems i'm facing...
edit, not only bottom bar, but also top taskbar is semi transparent then...... why does this only work with titanium and not htc sense?
no clever ideas/solutions for me?

I told you already, MaxTTM
Try this Transparent softkey .tsk file, along with MaxTTM.
Then you can have clear bars and no softkey bubble buttons.
Although it does not line up perfectly. It looks best with textured or patterned wallpapers. In my opinion. It really depends on what B4all you are using as well.
