I've seen several Taskbar apps that allow you to have a shared battery/clock in the taskbar, but all seem to require an ##% rather than the standard battery image. Are there any solutions available that show both the image and the clock?

Is it possible to get the Clock to show on the top bar while in the home screen as it was in PC2003? WM5 has replaced the clock with a battery icon which isnt very informative as its only a 2 stage indicator.
Thanks
This is actually a change new to AKU2 - pre-AKU2 there was no battery icon there. Please try this thread:

It doesn't contain the solution, but it's a pre-existing thread on the subject
Well, until someone comes up with a 'natural' solution, you can try my today plug-in:

Its not perfect, but it will put the clock not your task bar.
Also, there's nice program called Wisbar, which lets you do just about anything you want with your taskbar:

Is there possibility to have big clock as a background for today?
Not as background.
There are plenty of plug-ins that will give you a full screen clock, but you can't put stuff in the background.
(Well it's theoretically possible to write an app that will recompile the background image but that's too inefficient)
Ok, for the start menu, is there any place that I could go to that has custom icons for the folders in the start menu? Also, how would I remove the battery indicator from the taskbar(top bar on phone)? I have tried the registry edits, but none work for me, is there a cab file or some other way to do it? I have a Samsung Blackjack 2 and its running wm 6.1.
You're lucky that I've also been looking into these matters for a while. And I think I've got the answers for all of your questions (and more). I'll share my collections here, but maybe not one time for all. I'll continue to edit this post to try covering everything about icons. So just bookmark your thread and keep looking for updates.

For the battery stytus icon on today screen, FInixNOver have two threads discussing about this, one of them is:
[SKN] Customizing the Windows Taskbar [UPDATE-26/10/2008]
For remove it from taskbar, there is a registry tweak, but seems not working well for all WM6 & up OS builds, it will leave an ugly empty space on taskbar for some OS builds. The registry need to create is: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell]
"TBOpt":
dword:0 -> show battery
dword:1 -> show clock
dword:2 -> show date
dword:3 -> show date and clock together
Using above should be combined with the following key:
At least you can change it to display clock instead of battery stytus by tweaking this registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell]
"ShowTitleBarClock":
dword:0 -> show battery
dword:1 -> show clock
Where can i find a .cab for both top and bottom bar to disappear. I also need a .cab for transparent slider. I have stock rom 6.5. Thanks !!
Search for 'transparent curtain 2.1' and 'Lucarps transparent slider' You'll find plenty.
Alternatively try MaxTTM, an app that will do what you want. The curtains you will able to remove without issue and the slider by way of an add-in component.
Do you mean the transparent taskbar and softkey bar? Transparent taskbar and softkey bar are only transparent with the Titanium homescreen and start menu (if Titanium is the active homescreen).
Using Manila (seems you are doing) will cause the bar to appear be solid. Now you can do a trick where you use your background as the images for the taskbar/softkey bar... and make them slightly darker. They'll still be solid but have the matching background image on them to appear transparent.
Using the Manila trick will cause the images to be visible in ALL apps; where the default Titanium will switch back and forth from solid to transparent depending on the app.
No real complaints about this device. Just not a fan of how every thing in the status bar is smushed together. Are there any apps or mods where you can customize arrangement (i.e. center clock) that do not require a ROOT? Thanks.
