System Tray... ?! - General Topics

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.

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.

Remove ActiveSync Icon when connected...

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?

How to show tray icons

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?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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. =)

My Mobiler - removing sys tray icon

Just found this great little app which allows you to control your phone from your desktop PC.
http://www.mtux.com/
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

WM 6.5.x: is it possible to remap the taskbar icons?

In WinMo 6.5.3, is it possible to remap the taskbar icons to launch other applications?
I was only able to launch a 3rd party conn manager while clicking on Wireless Manager in the pop up window.
Can you be more specific as of what exacly you want to do, i think i can help you out. posting before orb3000 spammer comes in...
When I tap on the taskbar and the big icons pop up, I'd like to be able to launch a custom application.
For example, the volume icon to launch the Samsung Volume. Or the Clock icon to launch GAlarm, the Connection icon to launch the Samsung Wireless manager and so on.
Thanks
Anybody have any idea?
Bring my post up, just in case^^
Sob, no idea anyone?
poor me
Really like to know the answer to this question too.

[Q] Missing Icon in Lower Tray

I tried searching for similar topics but I have yet to run across my question.
I rooted my phone today and installed the most recent release of cyanogen with the ADW launcher.
I went to delete my txt messenger icon since I have handcent to replace it. I assumed the delete region of the screen was the same as standard OS but instead I replaced the Application Expand (white 6-9 square grid) icon in the center of the lower tray with the txt messenger icon.
Any suggestions on how to undo this mistake? It's making accessing apps a PITA.
Thanks
