Help with Today screen customization

Attached is a current picture of my today screen. Im trying to do a number of things and havent been able to come across much concrete info when searching the forums.
Anyways here is what Im trying to do:
1. Remove ALL icons from the bottom of the screen (battery and active sync in this case)
2. Remove the black horizontal line just above the icons on the bottom
3. Remove the bar with Calendar and Contacts but only from the today screen
4. THe top icon for the battery, Ive seen it where people have percentages rather than a few bars, how can I change that?
Thanks guys.. trying to clear some room for my calendar stuff and the HTC plugin takes up over half the screen by itself. Thanks

Sad day for human intelligence
1. The second icon is not activesync icon. It is for the comm manager
To remove it, you'll need a registry editor. Then, go to HKLM>>services>>wirelessMgr>>keep=0
Regarding battery icon, I need to know whether the exe responsible for the battery icon is being used as a service or as a normal app.
Most probably, you can remove by going to File explorer>>windows>>startup>> here, you'll find a init(something).lnk file(i cannot remember the exact file name). Delete that file and soft reset
Second scenario(where it is used as a service): using registry editor>>HKLM>>services>>power>>ShowIcon=0
2. This line will be automatically removed once the icons from the bottom-bar are removed
3. For this, the max you can do is to match the line's bgcolor with the today bgcolor. Use an app like UItweaker to do that. Do a search on the forum and you'll find it
4. That can achived by either using batterypack pro/wisbar advance(differs from theme to theme)

Sorry that I brought down all of human intelligence..................
Anyways regarding number 3, I was hoping to remove the words Calendar and Contact as well as the bg behind it. Im trying to get as much real estate here as I can.
Thank you for all the info tho, about to try it all.

Use dcinobar - it will remove the lower bar, so calendar and contacts button will go. Use the cab i put together - sorry cant give you the link because i am on my device - put 'dcinobar' into search and its the 5th thread down. Yep the clock on the htc home plugin is way too big! Another htc design bungle! lol

Awesome. Before putting this on one quick one. Will this remove those buttons and lower bar JUST on the today screen? FOr apps and stuff Id like it to still be there. Not sure if I can have my cake and eat it too but would love to try =P
Thanks guys!

Just the today screen - there is also vjtoggle that does the same thing but i found that it kept causing the screen to mis-allign

FYI, if you don't know how to mess with the reg, I suggest using this..

Trying to remove a 'onebridge' icon from my top bar !

My company use a product called onebridge to allow me to access my Lotus Notes email. It has an icon in the top bar (used to show status of the connection to onebridge) which is midly annoying but I can't seem to get rid of it.
More annoying than that is that it when it is there, it changes the 'action' softkey to be 'notification' about onebridge.
Does anyone know a simple way that I can try and stop this happening as I'd love to get back to the action option?????
Guess I'm looking for a registry tweak or something.
Help !

think people think that the registry have more power then it have
reg changes only do anything if the programmers desided to put
a key there to let the user change it
a programmer can deside not to check any registrys in wm at all
and it's often put on the NTH (nice to have)sheet not a big priority

Just in case anyone has the same issue, once onebridge is loaded on, you deleted the shortcut in the windows/startup folder - sorry forgot what it was called now but had ob & push in it if i remember right

Hi, I'm also using OneBridge on Kaiser - could you help me with the issues described in this thread?

Skinning the Today Screen or replacing it?

I have spent the last several days searching googling etc.. to no avail It boggles my mind I can not find this I must just be using the wrong keywords in my searches.
I want to skin the today screen or replace it I do not care. I have a PPC 6700 on sprint. I want the background image to be FULL screen either by getting rid of the top and bottom status bars or Skinning them. However it needs to be done.
here is a link so you can get an idea of what I am after LEFT is how my screen looks now RIGHT is how I "desire" my screen to look.

Any suggestions? How would I accomplish this?
Thanks!

This is "one" of the many ways to remove the topbar:
http://oldsap.blogspot.com/2006/08/themegence-tips-from-newbie2.html

WOW thanks SO much that looks to be exactly what I want. Only problem is it SHOWS the top and bottom removed but gives NO indication at all as to how to actually do it :-( moaning SOO close. I got the theme program. Help file is useless. Website contains no clues no forums etc..
Any Ideas ? I am playing with the program right now but I see NO "obvious" means with which to accomplish this.
AHH now I understand (found another thread) this is in combination with a program VJToggle that gets rid of the start and new bars. Alas I do not want to get rid of them I just want to add transparency or skin them :-(

i found a feature of ultimate launch 1.2, find and install... then find its directory, there are two files in the folder "smart tools" dcinobar.exe (removes bottom soft keys) and toggle.exe (toggles top bar on/off)
a nice thing is the actual buttons still bring up the menus and soft keys still work, the visual element is just removed from the today screen.
i copied dcinobar to the windows directory and placed a shortcut in the start up folder.
i have since uninstalled ultimatelaunch but i have a great today screen without soft keys!

skinning today screen
hello all,
i have a similar problem, i am running a MIps pocketpc2000 device, i run pocket blinds to give the toolbars additional features that the stock toolbars dont give, my question is this on many of the demo pictures of the device the screen shows the top and bottom toolbars with the today screen overlayed with a picture in the background, i have found various today plugin's that allow a picture to be displayed but not behind, it inserts it below under the appointments and tasks, thus showing part of the picture. any suggestions as i assume it is registry related as the image (white background) must get pulled from somewhere??

Hi. New here, have some questions about ThrottleLauncher & Touchflow

Hi all.
Kind of new to this all, and just fumbling my way through everything.
I have ThrottleLauncher loaded on my AT&T Tilt, along with Touchflow3d (and TFlow3D_gullum)
And after seeing the youtube clip on the .9 beta and what it can do, I am finding that I cannot get my phone to really respond in all the ways that I'm seeing in the video. Maybe Im missing some plugins or something else, but here are some questions:
First is the main toolbar at the bottom. Whenever I touch it and want to slide it around to get to specific icons, it doesnt really rotate, it just kind of slides a bit and then activates something. I'm not able to scroll around on it unless I use the directional pad on the phone. Also, is it possible to 'replace' programs that launch with the icons? For example, instead of the Phone's contacts launching, can I get it to launch my 'Good' software contact list? Or with the music player, I am using FlipSlide. Can the music icon be reset to launch Flipside instead of the windows media player?
Can those icons on the bottom be put in any specific order?
I also see in the .9 beta video, that you can flip the middle of the screen by the clock to see different clock views or appointments, etc... Not sure which version or theme that is.
I guess my biggest question is how do I get the bottom toolbar to actually scroll instead of activating things, and can that bottom bar be customized to point to other apps?
Thanks.
If I'm posting this in the wrong spot, please let me know.

S2U2 Voicemail Count

hey folks, got a quick question, the answer to which will probably be obvious and make me feel stupid for asking, but i'm suffering from a brain fart right now. i swear i just read about this a week or so ago, but it wasn't the topic i was looking for, i just happened across it while looking for something else, so i made no effort to write it down or commit it to memory. so here it is: i'm running S2U2 v2.04 on my Tilt. this one is a bit different. it's built into the Shifu 4.2 ROM that i installed the other day and differs ever so slightly from the S2U2 cab that i always install. problem is that (when S2U2 is locked) my voicemail count ALWAYS says -1 (negative 1), regardless of how many voicemails i actually have. anyone out there know a fix for this? i'm sure it's something simple that just isn't occurring to me. i searched for the post that i came across the other week, but no dice! can anyone tell me how to fix this or point me in the direction of the post?
also, not necessary, but this version of S2U2 has the flip clock with the date below it. problem is that when i recieve a text message and it displays on my phone, i can see the date THRU the blue boxed text message, making it difficult to read the text. like i said, it has the flip clock (the one that comes standard with the M2D with Home Weather setup) and the date line that is interfering is on what would be the equivilent of the hh_hm_clockbg.png (gray colored semi-transparent box on the home screen of M2D with Home Weather). anyone know how to get rid of that date line and/or the gray background box? thanks in advance for taking the time to read this, even if you don't know of a fix for it. i appreciate the effort regardless.
