6.5, exe to call the pulldown of the taskbar? - General Questions and Answers

I'm using Taskbar Launcher Beta (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=621624), which replaces what happens when you click on the taskbar at the top of the screen of WIndows Mobile 6.5.
It allows 3 areas that can do 3 things. I'd like 1 of those things to be the standard dropdown bubble thing that you get when you hit the taskbar (theone that shows volume, carrier, notifications, etc).
Anyone happen to know an .exe or something I can put into this program to call the standard pulldown thingie?

Can anyone tell me the correct name for the puldown thing so I know what to google?

I had this CAB for the taskbar...

Before I did a reset, I had this software that when I touched the task bar, it would bring up a bubble that contained all the icons. It was very easy to see and adjust the volume, connectivity settings, alerts, etc. When I touched the task bar, the pop-up looked like a cartoon voice box, and the buttons to interface with the various task bar icons were large enough to work with the fingers. I don't remember the name of it, but it was very convenient. Does anybody know the software I'm talking about? This is one convenience I would very much like to restore on my Kaiser. The task bar functionality was the only thing it changed. The "comic voice bubble" was grey in the background, the selectable icons were white on grey, and it was free if that helps any. I don't remember what it was called, (or where I found it), but I liked it. What's it called, and where can I get it? Thanks for your help.

Finger-friendly notifications?

I am using WAD 2. I am looking for a way to display notifications in a finger-friendly way. This is for all notifications that put icons into the task (top) bar. E.g. I get an icon from my weather app when an earthquake occurs, and an icon from the mail program (not Pocket Outlook) when a new mail is received, and one from Sprite Backup when a backup completes. When multiple icons are put into the task bar, a bubble represents them all, and clicking on the bubble brings up a ribbon below the task bar that shows the individual icons. I am looking for something that duplicates the function of that ribbon, so that I can select and clear those notifications using my fingers. I could probably do it in Mortscript if I knew where in the registry to find a list of the notifications or icons. Any ideas?

A Few Icon and Skinning Questions

I am going through and replacing the ugly default icons. JWMD doesn't see some of them, even after scanning and registering the ones that aren't registered. Games, programs in subfolders, the HTC wifi apps, and the system and settings icons are not displayed. I wish to replace these, but since JWMD doesn't see them, I don't really know how.
Also, how does one change the icons in the taskbar? I'm using Hart's 6.5 rom on an omnia...
And, does anyone know of any good iphone like icons for zsirc and putty? I'm not going for an iphone theme, but I like how the icons are all nice, big, smooth, and round.
You can change the Start Menu icons through the registry, which is explained on the Windows Phone Blog.
I know how to do that, I'm talking about chaging icons for apps that are not in the startmenu...they're in startmenu folders, and then there are the settings icons as well.

Useless 3G T-Mobile bar

My home screen has a useless bar under the top taskbar that reads 3G T-mobile and does nothing but waste screen space. Is there any way to get rid of it? CHT doesn't help.
You can edit that line in CHT. Put, If lost please return this phone to (your address here).
LOL. I agree its useless.

You can change the text? Please tell me how. I don't see an option for it in the CHTeditor.
What ROM are you running?
2.13.531.1
ideally i would like to get that screenspace back but if its impossible, changing the text would be ok.
I don't know if CHT 1.8 versions are the same as I'm using CHT 1.7.1, but it's in CHT Editor under Miscellaneous Settings. Look for "Custom Operator Text" and change it to say whatever you want. If you want it blank, just use a space.
Note that only affects the text, not the curtain (the semi-transparent bar). To make the curtain totally transparent, I'm using the Touch X remove top curtian.cab that can be found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584415.
3g T-mobile bar
You can also put date only or clock only and notiification icons,seems to be good use of space for mr.
How about you just move the clock up over the bar.
I also did this and while it removed said carrier bar, it also allowed my weather panel to move up slightly which caused it to hover over the clock panel. This did not look good so i uninstalled this mod.

the answer is no, not really.

haven't used it myself for that purpose, but it says it can work. but really the best way is to edit the manila files yourself.
