Question about WM6.5 Taskbars - General Questions and Answers

Hello all,
I use custom ROMs for my TP2.
No matter what taskbar variant I try, my new SMS icon always shows up as the default white icon rather than the variant icon.
This is puzzling me to no end.
I have tried a bunch of variants ... same result as always.
Is there a registry tweak I can apply??
This only happens to the SMS icon. All other icons appear as advertised.
Thanks, in advance.

TyTn V1605 bottom menu bar ?

I have a V1605 vodafone UK at the bottom of the today screen, it has a small section displays battery icon and comms icon. When programs are running, they do not appears in the bar, however tomtom does, if tomtom is running you can see tomtom icon in this bar.
Can anyone tell me should I see all running programs here ?
Is there anyway to remove this bar ? Its using up vital real estate.
Bottom menu bar is the tray. Apps can stick whatever they want in there - check out PHM Tray Launch of VJTrayLaunch. Only selected icons appear, not all running apps (although I think the O2 extensions makes this an option).
I don't like the tray, and made solutions in the past to remove it, but it needs updating for WM5 (VJToggleToday).
There are a couple of other apps that do the same, try reading the end of my thread to find the name. A Russian program I think.

I was looking for a task manager.
I found valksoft true toolbar, its fab, it uses that tray area and shows running apps, you can switch to or close them, now that bar is useful.
Can I also had VJtray launch would they work together ?
In your pics I see it using the area where the hard button menu is, is that what it replaces ?
PHM Tray Launch is a better app then VJTrayLaunch due to the fact that I haven't rewritten VJTrayLaunch yet...
But yes, a tray launcher should co-exist with other tray apps.
I Use VJToggleToday II to remove my softkeys/start bar. Search on this forum for info.

Strange Icon in top bar

Hey,
I hard reset my phone the other day as i messed it up to go to a fresh install of NatF's 4.4
Ever since i ahve an icon in the top bar which looks like a batter with a plug going into it. This is always there and the phone is not even plugged in. How can i get rid of it?, what does it mean? - It was there on my previous install of this rom.
Also, the icons in the programs and settings menus are small, especially the text. I used to get 3 icons to a line but now get 4? - which is normal?
Thanks
Regards,
Neil

Hi Neil,
Not sure about the battery icon in your task bar but the norm is 3 icons per row in Settings and Programs. If you want to change it back to 3, NATF has a custom cab for it in his thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=469450#4
If you want to make the font on the icons bigger, use Schap's Advanced Config and under "User Interface" change: "Icon title font size" default is 6 on NATF's roms.
You're still on 4.4? You know he released 4.6 today.
yeh, I would upgrade but it takes ages to reinstall all my apps and the main thing is setting everything to how I like it! - so many small options hidden everywhere which take ages to alter and fix to my liking

What icons have you installed?
No taskbar is working with WM6.5.3 and the VolumeOverlay. Even DJC's taskbar have the same bug. Im not even sure why the taskbar interferes with the VolumeOverlay.
With Brian's, Spike's and DJC's taskbar the HTC VolumeOverlay is disabled and the Windows volume overlay is activated.
Not that bad, except in HTCs FullScreenPlayer and Audioplayer.
I have installed first battery percentage 1%. and that messed up everything and after that nothing helps no one taskbar.
I lost htc notifications and can't get it back.
Can you please post exact link to file which caused the problem?
Don't know why this happens on 6.5.3 but it could be problem with certificates. Same thing happened to me when I forgot to sign HTCVolumeControl.dll - I had old volume overlay. It interferes because volume overlay uses same dll as the taskbar volume icons and thats the dll beeing modified. I'm not sure about the notification screen.
i have a task bar i can upload, if you like, it should work,
it's working on mine,
but, as theres so many updates coming out some of the .dll's used in the taskbars get updated too, which cause slight incompatibility's,

Strange, that works fine on 1.48 WWE and it should revert back when you uninstall the cab.
You can also try my mod if you like, it works on 1.48 WWE for me
seems that doesn't revert back. I'll try your mod before hard resset.
I yust can't live without htc tasks, this old wm5.0 style is terrible.
tnx

DJC's taskbar works for me. I had the same problem, which forced me to do a hard reset, because i couldn't find any other solution. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609484
After the reset I installed DJC's taskbar which works just fine without interfering with volume overlay.

TouchPro2 questions

Maybe I haven't seen it but I have looked and looked. I( have a TouchPro2 with the latest stock ram from Verizon. I believe it comes with sense 2.1 and WM 6.5. I have used various cab to make my home screen cleaned up. Most of the cabs don't work and I have tried A LOT. I managed to Remove the top and bottom curtain so my wallpaper shows through. I have a transparent slider, but the box over the selected icon is still visible. I would like to remove the box and maybe find some transparent icons. My biggest problem is that dang Verizon operator "curtain" With every cab I tried I could get the "V" logo removed, and with the personalizer, I could get rid of the text. BUT, I cant remove that semi transparent bar..grrrr. All I need is a cab for the slider "box" one to make them transparent, and a cab to remove that Verizon bar all-together. I have tried a half a dozen cabs for every problem i have and have not figured these out. Maybe it is the build..but i assume a lot of people are using the Verizon stock ROM. Would like a MR.X ROM but those don't load either.
Any help would be appreciated.

TMO HD2 - How do I add the time and battery meter on the tast bar?

I can not figure it out. Everytime I choose the option to show time on the task bar the battery meter disapears, and visa versa. Can someone help? Thank you!
are you running custom or stock? Is there any thing installed that may interfere/influence the behavior of the task bar and it's icons? Recently i had a similar issue with my tp2 taskbar and i figured out that i had disabled the battery and icon through the sk tools applications by modifying the registry. I had to reverse my actions in order to get them back. Some more info about your rom and programs may help us hone in on the issue.
