I now use the DINIK taskbar which is awsome, but I installed S2U2, and it's got this iPhone-like taskbar.
I know, I know, there are much iPhone haters.
But still, I just want the taskbar, I'm only wondering if it's by far possible..
S2U2 has it in it's program. The only reason I ask for it, is because it's small, white and clean.
For me it doesn't even have to be iPhone like, if anyone knows a taskbar in white, which is small and with signal strenght, hour, volume and battery in it, please post the link. And yes, I'm not turning my phone into an iPhone, I currently use SPB mobile shell, so it might look a bit like android too, I'm just trying to combine so I get a neat display. thanks
PS: only a taskbar, no skin, nothing else.

A newbie to the forums but fairly competent with WM5, just not that great with skinning!
My question is this - I have installed a Wisbar Advance 2 skin onto my HTC TyTn which is very nice but the standard icons on the top bar are missing, replaced with the ones from the skin. Is there any way I can get back the 3G icon and the standard connection icon whilst keeping the nice battery icon that came with the skin?
I appreciate any help and the patience of anybody kind enough to answer!
Hallo, I have a question. Under the titlebar and above the bar with the calendar and the contacts in wm6 is a small gray line. Is there any way to remove it or to change the color?

Welcome to the forum
I used to have a bar similar to yours but in the upper part of the screen, and later I understood that was a very nice and dicreet battery meter, I´m not sure if in your case could be the same. If not try to reflas the ROM if it´s very anoying for you, otherwise I don´t think it´s a big problem...
I invite you to READ the Wiki.
Hope it helps and good luck,
lol.. that's amazing. i have been plowing my polaris for almost a year now and not once did i notice this bar. you must have very sharp eyes.
I don't remember seeing an option to change this bar in any of the color customizing applications i've stumbled into. you can use a different shell tho.. if you want to get rid of it.. like Wisbar Desktop Advance..
i might be wrong (it happens to us all haha) but this can be changed with UI tweaker (edit)? or do as Nir says and just change the theme
I already tested UI Tweaker, but there is no option to change this line. I thought this lines are the plugin seperators, but that was wrong.
Whit Wisbar Advanced this lines are black. That all I want, but with wisbar there are to many other changes I don´t like.
unfortunately i have no idea how you can change that.. as i tried UI Tweaker myself to see if it's possible and didn't manage.
RC Mod doesn't work either..
mmmm, if the lines really do your head in, change the colour of the top bar itself personally i use black (hence no lines) but i had to change the theme first.
I'm using the classicblack theme and i still have that bar.
my screen shot. I dont have the lines?
Hey all,
Well, after searching around I haven't quite found anything fits what I want. Wouldn't it be nice to have a today-screen plugin (I would be using TodayLife if it was a plugin) that is completely customizable, by let's say, XML? TodayLife came pretty close, but I would like to display the Windows Start menu and taskbar on it.
Does anyone know something like this?
thanks
Let's see... I think RLToday and XIAMultiTheme would be good.
But these are pretty well known, I assume you already checked them, why aren't they suitable? They are today plugins and are customizable by XML files.
Oh, and there also is Throttle Launcher, but I have no idea how to customize it.
What about Wisbar Advance Desktop?
It can act like a today plugin (i.e. replace the today screen completely). It's very customizable and powerful, you can set the taskbar and/or bottom bar visible/invisible and integrate the normal today plugins into it.
How about homescreen++?
yep, Homescreen Plus Plus (BatteryStatus) is XML...many themes already created on their thread.
I'm sorry, but isn't HomeScreen++ just a battery status and a clock?
moved to Q&A section.
please, refer to the rules.
thank you
Hello together,
I'm playing around with all these apps, themes, roms since 2 days and I already changed a lot of things which are nice, but there are still some things which are bugging me and I can't find a solution for them. it would be really nice if you could help!!
I have installed MaxManila 2.5 V3.0 and the DKBlack theme and several other little stuff.
So now the problem is:
1. that my digital clock has a transparent background, is it possible to change this back to a white or something else? just transparant doesn't look so good in my opinion.
2. The icons on my home tab for the shortcuts are the old ones, how can I change them to new ones which I've downloaded and which are already working in the main menu?
3. Maxmanila produced a crazy flame background for me which is already not correctly centered I think, so at my phone the background is already zoomed in, so its not very sharp. Also I haven't found a way to change the background because it doesn't work with the normal menu. I don't want to stick with the flame bg
4. The Maxmanila Links for Last call,, calender etc. don't make any sense in my opinion, I mean I still have the same links at the bottom, so how can I remove them or replace them by something more useful, like a birthday reminder or something like that?
I think thats it for the moment.
THX for any help!!
Hm...is MaxManila really for HTC HD2?? I mean I realized that they don't have the normal HD2 menu at the bottom? I want to keep that, but now it makes sense that they installed this 4 icons for calender under the clock.
So is Maxmanila really for HD2 or is Cookies Home tab the better choice? Is there a way to change the clock also with the cookies home tab?
THX for any responses!!
I've seen a variety of screenshots of HD2s with alternate status icons (like the ones shown in this post's screenshots: forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4871358). I've searched and searched and I can't find out how to customize these from the standard, simple, ugly white stock ones. Any tips appreciated!
Thanks!

Can anyone point me in the right direction for these?
Thanks,

You can either continue to search for somebody that has done it and released the files. Or you can start looking into modding the manila files yourself to what you want. The files are not unique to the Leo any WinMo 6.5 notification icons will work.
Thanks for the info. I'm brand new to Windows Mobile and the HD2 so I'm not sure I'm up for trying to make my own mods yet. I'm trying to learn from what others have done and then hopefully be able to give back later.
So, are these things typically referred to as 'notification icons'? I found some custom packages under that name, but they all seemed to be the big icons for the programs, not the little status icons. I couldn't tell though whether those packages would include both the big icons and the small status icons or not. Any idea?
Thanks,

To get these icons first you need to install Maxmanilla. search the thread for maxmanilla and after that you can choose your icons for notifications.
Notification Icons
Install max manilla and then you can change the default notification by the one I have attached or to any icon you want. Search for the icons on net. A few icons are attached which I use.

Thanks for the tips and guidance! I really appreciate the help. However, I'm not looking for the big icons for the various programs, I'm looking for the little status icons at the top of the display (signal strength, wireless connected, bluetooth, headset, etc). The ones on the T-Mo HD2 are just the basic white 'line drawing' ones from HTC. I've seen some screenshots here (like in the like I posted above) where these little icons are very nice, rich, colorful, almost 3D looking. Those are the ones I'm trying to find. Does MaxManilla have those too?
Thanks!

Ah Sorry, I thought you are talking about notification icons. The icons which you are referring are part of taskbar. first you need to check your windows version If you are still on the stock rom or installed a coocked rom 6.5 then search for taskbar 6.5. If you are on 6.5.x then search for taskbar 6.5.x
A lot of customization links are included in the below thread. just search for taskbar for your version.

Awesome! That's what I was looking for. I was searching for 'status icons' since that's how HTC refers to them in the manual. Didn't think that was called the taskbar.
Thanks again!
