Battery and clock example - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

Ive come across how to activate the clock in the taskbar, but as you all know that hides/covers the battery icon. This is a major flaw in design.
Ive seen many screenshots with where people have the time then custom icons including the battery, however this seems like it would cover up the X on some applications.
Examples here.

This is how i want my taskbar to look [photoshopped]. With the original icons, with the battery and clock and room to close programmes

Im sure this tweak must be achievable.
Thanks in advance

You just need to install BattClock then configure away

if i'm not wrong the so called task manager has been done away with in the new version..
i couldn't get it up too. the blank space on top left is now new taskbar or wadeva that is...?

[REQ} Text colour change?

Hello...
I've been following a lot of these threads for a while and having decided on my ROM of choice (toms) and doing as much as i understand i've hit my wall when it comes to knowledge of the system! The background i use is quite light and makes it difficult to read the text under certain tabs like the Text tab and the twitter tab. Is there a way i can simply change the colour of the text?
Is there a way i can do it? i'm a quick learner
Thank you.
Here's my background... it's a picture from a walk i did a few months back and it looks great as a background with a few transparencies added withing the tabs.

I sort of found something here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2749452
seemed a little complex, but i'll give it a go over my lunchtime..
Love having conversations with myself
I can't actually find the files on my HD2... can anyone help?
Looking through lots of threads it seems quite a difficult task!! is that why there are no other replies to this thread?

Skinning ChompSMS Widget

So I use chompSMS all the time, tried everything else around and it allows me to reply quickly to txt when i need to. Recently I been working on creating some themes but haven't got things to where I want to release them. I Bought the extended controls on market and really loved the customization. More colors would be nice but I thought using the same idea or other apps such as chomp would be great. As of right now I skinned my widget and things are not perfect but, I will get it there soon enough. Maybe at some point I could build an app that would allow you to customize these widgets and apps.
Here is a screen shot of what I did to mine. If you understand how to edit png files and install apps then the process isnt too hard. PM me if you want the instructions other wise i found the widget backgroun in /res/drawable-port-hdpi. From what I can see most things in it could be customized.

[Q] Start menu "sorted"

Hey there,
Is there a way to "sort/clean" the start menu. Usually the start menu ist collumnwise shifted. Is there a way to get the menu straight like on the iphone (bad word ^_^).
I hope its understandable? Below are pictures.
{
"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_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
vs.
Not sure about sorting, but to change the layout you can use this:

No, not really,
I don't care about how many grids I have.
Just want to have it sorted (see images above)
use a third party app called "vito winterface" clean looking...search for it and try the trail version...m sure u will like it !
You can use another utility made by nullstring. It lets you sort by name, etc. and I think you can move the shortcuts around as well. If you feel like using custom icons, it can do that too.

[Q] Complete Way To Save Launcher (ADW) Layout?

So I'm one those sillies with widgets everywhere, particularly using Desktop Visualizer. But I'm also one of those sillies that flashes ROMs with profuse frequency.
Using ADW, when I backup and restore, the regular shortcut icons always load fine, but the widgets do not. Is there anything special I can do? My screens take a good half hour to rebuild from scratch.
I've tried most things I can think of. Obviously I always have desktop visualizer installed before I restore, I've tried restoring the apps involved with titanium in just about every configuration, but I can't think of any more options.
In return, happles:

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
P.S. I'm terribly sorry if I missed this in search or if it's in the wrong place.
bummmmmp
im facing the same issue too. No way to do this ?

Possible Sense 2.1 Status bar Modification (Read More)

Ok This idea came to me earlier today, sense 2.1 roms (Speedy ports) have a recently used apps bar in the notifications menu. Well I found a better use for it,
Instead of seeing the app you just closed why not display common everyday apps? e.g. phone, flashlight, facebook, twitter, camera. See that way you don't have to run around your UI to find what you want, It's simply a drag and drop away
{
"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"
}
The con is this.
Making the apks run in a list and then closing (background) constantly may effect you wanting to see your recently used apps (The one where you just long press home button and it displays) those apps the first 4 or so will be which ever default you have set up. any way I'm seeking some help with this I'm not new but nor am I marinated in sense feature modifying.
So are any oldies in to assist?
