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?
Just found this great little app which allows you to control your phone from your desktop PC.

Only thing I'm looking to find out is when it's running, how to not have a system tray icon on the mobile phone.
Anyone know how to do this?
Right click the "PC" Tray Icon - Configure Mobile - Show Trayicon
Now sometimes you need to do this a couple times to make it disappear.
Perfect....many thanks Neiltoe - can't believe I missed it....cheers
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.
I have a problem since i use smartphones with notifications and reminders : when it came no problem i can dissmiss it etc but if i see it after ,the softkey shows "notification" only few millisecondes then shows the normal softkey for 3secondes (i will soon try without custom softkey) and it loop. Futhermore when it happens i can't see any notification icon in taskbar (i don't known if icon should be there) It append for all notification and reminders (task calendar missed called) and in my two device htc p3450 and etenX800 and with both wm6 and 6.1 the only app i have always in the two device is QuickMenu 2.7 (very nice) (i will try to remove it). the problem is not always but is geating worst when i install more apps(maybe one of them is the problem).
Does somebody knoes how to fix this. or at least.
Is there a solution to make a notification window active without the softkey and without icon. Is there a solution to always show notifications Icon.
Thanks and good work(very good site full of information).
help me please
if something is not clear i can even try to send a video of the pb
What phone, OS, ROM, and reminders? If you are using custom softkeys, try removing them.
thank to help me
Curently my phones 3450 WM6 latest official rom
and EtenX800 WM6.1 CustomLight Rom(i had official before)
i have this problem with all these configurations and quite all notifications and reminders (ex : missed call, task reminders,the notification a the first windows startup who ask for sending info to microsoft ,etc...)
the notification which is the most blocked is the one generated by quickmenu when i tap on his battery icon.Futhermore as i haven't seen this problem in any forum and as i have this problem whit very diferent configuration (OS PHONE ROM PROG)i think this probleme come from Quickmenu which is the only common point i see.
I am asking myself if somebody else has already seen this? answer will be welcome
I have removed custom softkey and i have seen the problem again
I Have Found
I have disabled the QuickMenu taskbar icon which indicate free memory and battery and the problem has disapeared.
But it's a shame i loved to see my free memory ram in the taskbar.
Is somebody know a app or a way to show free memory ram in text and in Mb on the taskbar. (i already found wktask which doesn't work properly)
Hello,
I discover this topic which is close to my small issue: since I migrate to a Manila 2D based Rom (HTC Polaris / P3650), the reminders notifications pop up as expected but aren't anymore replacing the left softkey on my today screen (when the notifications pops up, everything is ok, but if I don't immediately press any key, it definitely vanished from the today).
The taskbar and menu bar icons are ok but since this notification disapears from the today's softkey, I'm not anymore abble to directly open the notification's menu, nor the text notification.
Is there any registry key where I could fix it ?

Sorry for multiple posts... seems there is some server bugs
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..

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...
