Add 'Time' to the Date line on Today screen?

As per subject...
Does anyone know if it is possible to have the time displayed on the 'date line' on the today screen.
I'm aware of the reg hack for displaying both on the top menu bar and changing the date on today screen to long format.
What I want is for the Date and Time displayed on that one line on the today screen.
...or just a very BASIC 3rd party plugin that does this. All the ones that I have seen are far too big (real estate) or are the animate analog clock types etc.
Thanks.

*bump*
I searched, and you know.. it's funny, you're right, they're all fancy clocks - you'd think one of the first things somebody would develop would be a simple line on your today screen that takes the full datetime string formatting. ( The shipping one ignores time strings :| )
I can't even get my "Hello World" on the Today screen yet, so... somebody?

Perhaps one of the fine developers on here could mock up something for us?
It's doesn't 'seem' to be that hard (?)

The o2 active software includes a today applet which shows time and date. it is exactly what you want i think.
i suppose there is some way to seperate it from the o2 active package. someone did this with the o2 battery monitor applet.

I thinl you're looking for this:

Yes, that's the trick. Just need a way to freeze the plugin like the original date plugin.
Anyway thanks very much for that link.

Well, here's a post which has an O2 utility that adds the time:

Second Battery icon mystery

I just recently got a windows phone, and like a fool I immediately started customizing...then I realized I didn't know what I was doing. Long story short, I installed something (I have no idea what) that put a second battery icon on my home screen, and can't figure out how to get rid of it. There is nothing in the add/remove programs, and no running tasks. Anyone recognize this? Can anyone tell me how to get rid of it?
Thanks,
C

You will need to check which programs you have installed. Click on START-> PROGRAMS and view there or alternatively click on START-> SETTINGS -> SYSTEM and then select Remove Programs which would show all that you have installed. From that may be able to help as I've had the same icon just can't remember where from.

The unwanted 2nd battery is from QuickMenu...you can tap and hold there to change what is being shown.

Thanks for the response, but I checked all this and no luck. It seems to be a remnant of something I un-installed. Has anbody seen it before? Maybe if I re-install the software and remove it again it will go away...I just don't know what that software is....

Oops...didn't see the jamesus post. That was it! Went to Quickmenu site read how to remove it and viola no more 2nd battery indicator! Thanks to all of you!

Weird, just posted about this in the Herald forum, I didn't even think of searching the general forum for a topic about this. I'm having the same problem - checked the quickmenu settings and disabled "show battery on taskbar." That got rid of the battery icon, but now there's nothing in its place! I can't figure out how to restore the task manager shortcut to the top right. Were you able to get it back?

Above is a screencap from the manual, but I am only able to perform video calling thru option number 1, options number 2, 3 and 4 are not available, does anyone else have the same issue?

All four options work here (I'm still using the original ROM though)

thks.. I'm on original ROM as well.. but could be some program I've installed.. SPB Mobile Shell or SPB Phone Suite?! hmmm..

Hello,
I had a problem with the first option you specify, i did not have the icon of making video call.
I installed several software, for my opinion what have disabled me the option is the dialer i installed (don't remember which) but it was the dialer.
Nothing helped & uninstall wont fix it.
HARD SPL helped....
Hope it helps...

thks guys.. think I might have found the problem.. it was because I changed the default font from Tahoma to Segoe UI, therefore because of the font size difference, part of the context menu was hidden from view.
How did I found out? The hard way.. I performed a hard reset n install all my apps back, but the options were all there, the only thing I did not do.. was to change my font..

Half hidden icons in taskbar (Omnia)

Hey guys, whilst I realise this was probably a n00b mistake with some setting I probably inadvertently changed, but this morning my icons have disappeared at the top right:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is from my Today screen. If I go into another application and click where the icons should be then they appear, and if I go back to the today screen, they are there, but as soon as I click the start button, they disappear again. If I click where the icon should be, then whatever should happen normally happens (if I were to click the sound icon, the volume would appear).
As you can imagine, this will get annoying, quickly! Any thoughts on what could be causing this? The only thing I've installed today is the Advanced Config tool.
Any help appreciated.

I had this same problem, but I think I figured it out.
I'm running wkTask / wkTaskLauncher. On the today screen there is a blank space where the 'ok' or 'x' would be when a program is open. press and hold in that blank space, and a menu will pop up. Go to Preferences -> General1. Check the 4th checkbox, "Hide task list when there are no tasks".
That got rid of my half icons.

I have the same problem on my asus P535. using wkTask too. but your solution does not work for me. no effect after checking that 4th option. no change after closing wkTask too.
it suddenly appeared after running scummVM.
any other idea?
thx

Does anyone recognize what's on this screenshot? PLZ...

A picture is worth a thousand words... So they say. But this picture is missing one word - the name of the software. Suspects are: Qmenu, SPB pocket plus, Phonealarm, WM native behaviour. If anyone knows this, please share, I'm having weird battery problems (like shutdown on 30% and then after powering up, sitting on 1% for over an hour with active usage). I'd like to hunt this bug down and make a kill. Screenshot was made with auto-capture utility, because it only shows right before shutdown, so this bugger was hard to catch. Even now bottom of the image is missing, probably due to write operation being interrupted by shutdown. You can see behind the image in question there is PhonEx being meddled with.
Thanks.
The screenshot:

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

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

I have no idea what it is (not even sure what I'm supposed to be looking at), but get a task manager like dotfred's or xtask and look up all the open windows. You should be able to track it down that way, and remove whatever's opening it up.

Well, thanks for the advice, but if You read carefully what I wrote, then You could imagine that it's really hard to pull that off in 2-3 seconds while the device is shutting down. Of course, if there would be a system snapshot kind of program - which would let me take a snapshot or log of all open windows in every 1-2 seconds - then it would be awesome, but I am not aware that the utilities You mentioned are able to accomplish that.
