Hello all,
Ok, I've searched and found plenty of great information on these forums. You guys and girls rock!
My question is about removing icons from the tray - I have removed the battery, wireless / comm manager icon, but have found that ActiveSync pops an icon down in the tray for me whenever in cradle and I'd like to remove that.
Ultimately, I'd like to disable any icon appearing down there.
Thoughts?
TIA!
It's not working actually...
The tray is removed for sure, but AS keeps putting its icon there somehow when started...
I believe it is present on WM6 only... Anyone come up with an idea how to get rid of this, please?

Hi, I want to remove the G icon next to the signal strength. Only the icon. I have tried using GBsoft to diable the GPRS after a set period of time. But I ended up getting the "no GPRS" icon (the one with the X and the 2 arrows). So, this kinda defeats the purpose.
I want to remove the icon so that I have more real estate there. I'm using a bible reader program, and sometimes I want to see where I am; and the G icon covers that information.
Anyone knows how to do this? Thx!
I want it to go away too since its pointless and you cannot connect with GPRS with it, so I use GPRS Monitor to connect/disconnect. =/.
If you're using Spb GPRS monitor, just enable the gprsmon icon in options and place it over the 'G' icon, which effectively removes it.
I too would like to know more on this..
anyone found any new ways as on date to remove the "G" icon or the "X and 2 arrows" icon?
please help. thanx.
no help so far
Sad to say, no one could help so far. Posted this at buzzdev too, but no one seems to have the answer as well
On my 8525 the tray icons (battery, comm mgr) were displayed by default (with the horz line above), on my Tilt, they're gone, except when connected through activesync. Anyone knows the reg key to get the tray to show up again by default? (couldn't find it anywhere)
Under the System --> Today option on the "Items" tab you should see the HTCHomeplug ... check it and you should have the icons you're looking for I believe.
This is assuming you're running the AT&T ROM. If you're running the HTC ROM I can't recall if it is installed by default, if not you'll have to find the cab for the Homeplug and install it.
Cheers,
Dave
yes, but this is today plugin and it do not supply tray icons.
i am looking for activation tray icons too, but looks like not working?
Yeah the windows directory is missing the powertray.exe file!!! So to get the power icon in the tray you need unzip the attached file and place it in the \windows folder. If you create a shortcut to this file in\windows\startup, the battery icon will load on startup in the bottomtray.
hey, man, thx! you are my hero
is the process of activating rotate icon and comm manager the same?

I would assume so... have you looked at the registry? I know from my Hermes to show the comm manager it´s like this..
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\WirelessMgr]
"Keep"=dword:00000001
But...If you have no joy then let me know I´ll have a look when I´ve finished lunch.
ee, comm mgr reg tweak not working
btw: enjoy your lunch!
Does any one know if there is a way to show a headset icon in the tray so you can tell if your headset is actively connected? I know I can hit the phone key to see if it's connected but it would be nice to be able to see it on the Today page. Thanks.
What I did is to set the Comm Manager to one of the soft key buttons, with the Configuration Tool. Now I have PocketCM in one, and "Wireless" (Comm. Mngr) in the other one.
I am also looking for how to get the battery and commanager back to the status bar on the bottom
I started a new thread there http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=336239 as this is more suited as a general Kaiser question. I also researched it a bit more. the powetray.exe provided here seems an old version from WM5 most likely. I am looking for the new WM6 style tray I used to have on my hermes which gives you both new battery look and comm mgr icons.
This will add the icons back plus allow you to add shortcuts to other apps
Can anyone may be help me with HIDING those icons? =) I currently have Card Export installed and running, and it adds its own icon to the tray, but I have no need in that. The problem is, that when I turn tray client off (in card export settings), it switches back to ActiveSync mode and I have manually to start CE to mount my flash card as windows removable drive. Any solution?
(I could not make latest WM5torage work for me)
UPDATED:
Argh, resolved myself =) I just mount the card in CE and quit it. It will release the card till I insert the cable. If I pull it out - card is automatically released. Sweet. =)

how do you add short cut using the tray app???
Ok, Ive done tons of searching, and unable to find the answer to this.
I occasionally have a few icons (lock, restart wm6, and BT) in my bottom system tray. Sometimes they are there, sometimes not.
Does anyone know how to make them stay there?!?
Or at least, what am I doing to make them disappear or appear?
I currently have the screen rotation icon, the comm manager icon, and the battery icon... which do not disappear at any time.
I thank you for any comments, suggestions in advanced!
Is there any way I can force my system tray closed in wm6? I installed Wireless Sync and the tray icon is driving me crazy. I like wireless sync but I just don't like that it installs an icon in my system tray! Any ideas?
are there any programs that can close the system tray?
The System Tray automatically appears as soon as any program puts an icon in there.
You will have to look at Wireless Sync to see if you can turn the icon off or contact the developer to include this option in future releases.
Or you can use the Sys Tray as a quick launch bar like I do.
Cheers
Mark
I like the idea of using the Sys Tray as a quick launch. Do you know how I can do that but use larger icons? I'd like to use it as a quick launch but not have to use the stylus and larger icons would be needed. Any ideas?
I use PHM TrayLaunch. But I don't think you can increase the size of the Sys Tray hight though. You will have to use some third party software that is a today screen pluggin to have larger icons. But then you will still be left with a Sys Tray taking up space.
dcinobar...
Dcinobar gets rid of the softkey bar not the sys tray bar. At least I don't know how to get dcinobar to get rid of the sys tray if it can.
I would really like to know if there is a way to get rid of the sys tray also. I don't want to use it as a quick launch bar as I already use the HTC home plugin and ultimate launcher for that and I like those better.
If anyone knows how to get rid of the sys tray I would be very appreciative for that information. Thanks.
Edit: I've checked Wireless Sync for an option to get rid of the icon it puts in the sys tray but did not find anything.
Some devices like Omnia, don't have led notification.
So, the only way to have info about BT activation should be icon in upper iconnbar (not in traybar, because with manila it is not visible).
Wi-Fi do it. But BT not.
The icon is present in dll (it shows when received a file), but non show when set BT on.
There is a way to make it?
Same question in reverse
I have the same question in reverse
I recently flashed a custom ROM that added this icon and do not like it. It serves no purpose for me (I always have bluetooth on, and clicking the icon does nothing anyway). I can't figure out how to get rid of it.
Searching for "Icon" in the registry did not even hit anything.
i'm not into omnia at all, but there are a few threads dealing with changing taskbar icons, maybe you can find info there about how to add the icon and change its looks.

The OP does not want to *change* the icon, he does not have it at all and wants it there. And I am the opposite, I *have* the icon and want to totally remove it.
It's an icon that shows whenever bluetooth is turned on.
There is some way to turn the bluetooth icon on and off, because the last ROM I had (which was the same WinMO version) did not have the icon, and this one does.
EDIT: Also before anyone asks - I have no bluetooth apps in Windows/Startup, so it is not that.

hehe, it's controlled by some dlls.. but first thing you should do is to download Advanced Configuration 3.3 by Schaps and DISABLE the phone skin
the op needs to do the opposite.

Argh, really? I really like my skin... why would the phone skin affect the bluetooth icon?
you can notice that when you install different dialers, you also get different taskbar icons... that's why with the dialer, some dlls are supplied.

If I disable my phone skin, my dialer is now all busted
If this icon is supplied by some DLL, can I delete the one in question? Or replace it?
try battery status,theres loads of options like having wifi,cellular,and bt icon in bottom tray.From there it shows if its on/off/discoverable ,you can even iniate ad2p from the icon.

I use Manilla2d so I don't have a bottom tray.
I am talking about the status icons at the top.
which device do you have?
i recommend using the new iolite phone canvas.. it has the BT icon with the skin enabled by default..

Q: Is it for the Samsung Omnia?
A: NO, and it never wil be! (sorry I don't like Omnia users, most of them are newbies at WM and ask stupid questions)

No comment.
And i tryed last iolite phone canvas, but it is QVGA, not WQWGA (omnia is 240x400) so don't show very well.
But BT icon works
So, i have Omnia, i have default Win phone Skin, and i think it's not easy to have the BT icon in iconbar if i don't have a good phone canvas
But the question is: can i use simply the dll and its associate keys for obtain it without change phone skin?
oops, i completely forgot it was an omnia.
I assume you can just apply the dlls..
i didn't deal with taskbar customization too much..
but as i told you, there are 2 threads, mentioned in an earlier post, you can find many icons and guidance there..
So... no one knows how to remove this icon if present? Maybe i should start a new thread with a better title.
I"ve also been trying to figure out how to get rid of the bluetooth symbol...
