Hi, I've been looking for a while on how to hide the system tray located at the botton (not the menus but the tray that shows for example the activesync icon) and could not find some usable code yet, which works on every device, or on most of them. I know it can be done, because I use M2D and it completely hides it, but dont know how.
Does anyone know how this can be achieved on native code (C/C++) or whatever language you prefer?
Sorry if this thread is not for this section. If it should be moved please let me know, or move it
Oh and BTW, I'm not looking for an application to do this, I want it on my app, so please post code or registry changes, but dont post apps to achieve this.
Thanks!
As far as I know, the tray will disappear from itself once you have deleted/disabled all icons in it. Depending on what you want to achieve, that might be the easiest way...
+1 id like that!

Ok, never mind, fond a way to do it (at least on my omnia) =D
This should do the trick:
Code:
HWND dskHwnd = GetDesktopWindow();
HWND hwnd = GetWindow(dskHwnd, GW_CHILD);
HWND hwnd1 = GetWindow(hwnd, GW_CHILD);
ShowWindow(hwnd1,SW_HIDE);

Indeed the tray dissapears when there are no icons to display. How can i disable the TomTom7 icon when TomTom is minimised? The icon causes a vertical scroll bar on my today screen and don't want that.
I was looking for a general solution, I wanted to completely hide the tray, no mater what icons it has, and as far as I know that's what the code I posted on my previous post does
you can close/hide whole tray WINDOW with task manager 3.x(NOT htc ****ty app), BUT it will leave empty, unusable space, so until someone will write soft to hide traywindow with corrrected today space size...nothin can be done.
also - it may collide with nueonobar, and other ones.

well, this is true, but rather useless method(any icon that appears will show tray, again)..

Mabe this will be considered stupid by some folks, but I really am out of ideas, so here it goes:
Does anybody know if it's possible and if it is, HOW to put the "Start" button in the lower left corner ? And also make the Start Menu to extend from bottom to the top, like in windows ?
I want to implement this on my first rom...and I don't like to change my mind/plans
Any info is much apreciated.
Thx

I have mine now in the lower righthand corner, which is also nice.
How do I get text to turn 180 degrees (lol)
**I don't think it's possible without the help of a additional app like Wisbar. But still the idea is not bad.
I used Wisbar, and from what I remember, it will not move the start bar at the buttom. Only thing that it does is that it overrights the start and replace it with it's own aplication....or something like that. It doesn't modify the actual start bar.
How did you get yours in the lower right corner ?

Use Wisbar Advanced Desktop for moving your start-button anywhere.
Upsidedown
Thx man, unfotrunately that won't work for me gotta think of something else
It's possible to move the start button wherever you want, if you're really dedicated. I wrote an app to do it many years ago, but I had limited use for the app in that form. It turned into VJToggleToday.

Hey yall,
This may very well be a noob question, so i apologize in advance if so.
I am interested in removing a few icons from the right side of the notification bar, as seen on the home screen (as opposed to having the notification bar pulled down).
I read on the G1 forum that trying to replace these with an inconsistent set of icons (say, 100 different PNG's for each percent) yielded no success. But I just want to remove both the battery icons as well as the alarm icon.
the main reason for this removal is one, i downloaded an app from the market that has the % in an icon on the left side of the notification bar (search for 'battery indicator'; should be free) and i always have my alarm on, and check it in the application.
so my question is, is it possible to do this? If so, which files do i need to remove?
seriously? not even one reply? wow xda, im pretty saddened by this...
Bump
It would be nice to unclutter the status bar
Mostly no one has probably replied because you cant get rid of them. You could get replace the current PNGs with completely transparent ones. But then you'd just have a big blank spot between the signal status and the time.
thats what i thought i would hear. thanks for your reply

I have a apk ready I can test this with real quick.
I'll report back
well, using a 1x1 transparent image did the trick with getting them to vanish, didn't break anything.
However, the 1x1 didn't seem to matter either, there is a gap, but it still looks good.

I just took the current image and made it 100% transparent.
could also replace the file with a 1x1 transparent image.
either way yields the same results.
if you still want the file, pm me and I'll link it.
+1 for the ability to get rid of some icons, the clock and battery indicator in particular.
I have trouble getting the Curvefish battery widget to update properly. Running Fresh 1.1 with MDK 1.2
is it possible to make the taskbar transparent like in win mobile 6.5? I have tried but to no avail

i would also love this option...if for no other reason than to match the rest of the clear themed stuff.
please does anyone know if this is possible
Well i was capable of making it transparent but only when the screen transitions and you can see it is transparent when I pull the taskbar down. I dont know how to get it transparent on the home screen.
Probably could be done the same way you recolor it. Just use a transparent .png file instead of a colored one. Its a good idea, I'd use it.
do you know which file has to be changed i looked but could not find it

I actually tried this and it did not work, just made the task bar black. My theory is that the wallpaper ends at the task bar rather than covering it . If that is true I think you would have to "fake" a clear task bar by making it match your wallpaper. I have done this successfully with solid colors, but it would be harder with a more complicated wallpaper.
Example:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

you're 100% correct. my bad. guess i wanted it too much lol.
yep i just tried to and it was black as well it was cool to see threw the bar when you pull down notifications though
i wonder if it would be possible to edit a xml file somewhere to get the wallpaper to take up the full screen. i just think this would be so cool if i could figure it out
Hi all,
I am after an app/cab that I saw a while back. It installs a battery level bar on the top of the screen, where the network provider curtain is. It is a transparent bar which retract from right to left as the battery level reduces.
I am unable to find this now. I have found this one:
Check it out:
http://pocketnow.com/software-1/anot...s-mobile-phone
But it is not what I have been looking for. Does anyone know what I am talking about and where I can find it?
I have been searching for hours, nothing has come up. Can't remember where I saw it.
Thanks.
Anything, anyone?

Unfortunately not.
The one I am after is between the clock and the top task bar. Where the standard operator text it (Optus, Telstra AT&T etc).
It is opaque and colored. The bar fades as the battery level reduces.
I have spent days and days looking for it. I know I had seen if a month or 2 ago.
Very frustrating.
BattLine SVC perhaps ?
Nope, not this one either.
Thanks anyway.

Cheers mate. A nice simple visual and functional aid.
Thank you for your reply.
Unfortunately this is not it.
The one I am after is not a solid bar, but more of a 50% opaque bar. It sits under the top task bar, and above the weather.
It is in the operator curtain and the operator text is on top of it.
I remember seeing it a few times but didn't download it. Now I want it and can't find it. Very, very frustrating.
Any help is appreciated.
Nice Dude!

I used to use AvianWavesBattLineSvc but started to look a little out of date but this one looks nice, going to give it a try!
Cheers!
Still haven't found fit.
I am unable to insert an image so I'll explain it the best I can.
In your pic above, the battery monitor I have seen sits right between the clock (large Manilla clock) and the top task bar icons (underneath them).
It is opaque and reduces towards the left of the screen as the battery level drops.
Looks quite nice and something different. I will keep searching. Eventually I'll find it and post it on here.
I can't beliee nobody has it or knows about it.
BattClock maybe?

Is there anyway to disable this wasted screen real estate when you open settings?
I'd rather have the classic look.
I really don't need to be told I'm in settings after I just clicked the 'settings' icon to get into it
The Samsung email app does something similar too, it's pretty annoying

Just slide it up. Not really sure you can actually disable it. It is kind of the norm on a lot of screens (i.e. email and messages).

Aside from rooting and romming you are stuck with it. Also the design choice wasn't so much about telling you where you already know you are but providing reachability with one hand when entering some apps and settings.
Slide it up, and it should remeber this each time you open it back up.

You do realize that sliding up does reduce the space to a minimum right?
same spacers at SMS app
its the 2022 stupid design, bro
@joancolmenares you don't say!
My question was about removing it because I don't like having to do the extra slide up and in case you forgot, this is a developer forum.
Anyway, Scotsman actually said something interesting. My settings screen position isn't being remembered. This is probably because I've put background memory restrictions on apps for battery savings. I will look into that
