I'm searching for an application bar, or task bar (like icbar, wisbar, gigabar, ...) that can show running tasks in the title bar and that is able to show also antenna icon (the one who indicates the GSM network field).
Is there someone who can suggest me such an application?

heh me too i uninstalled wisbar because it removed my gsm signal field
taskbar application
Hi,
Magicbutton (you can download from http://www.trancreative.com/) and/or PocketNav (http://download.com.com/3000-2178-10171351.html) are perfect.
yes, but magic button can show only one task bar at a time (usual pocket pc task bar or magic button task bar). When in magic button taskbar you can't see even the time icon and you always have to switch between the two bars.
I don't know pocket nav but I've heard that it cannot show running programs directly in the title bar, isn't it?
rudy
I use magicbutton, and I consider it one piece of art to be freeware ... let's remember that this is a pocket pc environment and not normal XP one. it has limited screen, RAM, CPU speed, ... etc.
the more fatures will be on one screen will make it inconvenient at the end ... maybe you should wait to have XDA III with WM2005
ok, apart of interesting XDA III ... is out there an application able to do what I said?
any experience?

Did you find anything?
You might want to check out GigaTask. This is not as powerful as Gigabar but does not hide the sig strength.
Or there is a new beta (v1.9) of Gigabar - have not tried it yet.
www.gigabar.com/beta
gigabar beta doesn't provide the feature to show network signal icon.
personally I don't like gigatask; btw there are many task managers of that type but nobody is able to show running tasks on task bar (or application bar, or navigation bar as mommy microsoft calls).
Rudy
I think that wisbar advance Phone edition would do what you want (and not only you).
I hope that it will be realesed soon.
You can find the forum on www.lakeridgesoftware.com
jeanlucve... why you don't like GigaTask?
It seems nice to me. Did you have any problems with it?
Thanks,
Uros
Did try using WisBar Advance but does not work properly on my xdaII.

Is there a Phone Edition? I couldn't find mention of it. I tried WizBar Advance and it blocked the SMS/missed call notification icon and also locked up my XDA II every now and then.
Sorry Urosh my mistake, re read your post and you mention it is in the forum section
GigaBar beta

I, too, really like GigaBar...except for the above noted blocking of the phone icons.
Gene hinted in one message on his Gigabar forum that he might be able to fix this...maybe some encouragement from all of us as to how important this would be as a feature...
I also tried GigaTask which does allow display of the phone icons...but then does not show battery strength, which I really miss.
Please anyone knows how to disable selected icons form taskbar?
I want to have only
Battery , Signal strenght and Unread messages Notification icons togehter with the TIME
on the task bar, no need for having rest of the icons. (In the attachment are icons for SOUND LEVEL, icon with number 1 and Edge ) Please help, after couple of weeks of searching I am getting crazy.
Using Raphael, EnergyROM (1.2 Fuzeberry), latest newest shipped radio
Thank you .
Wisbar Advance will allow for this.
You should read the whole threat:

Guys,
thank you very much for your reply.
However none of this actually solves my problem.
I tried Wisbar, but it does NOT hide any of the icons that I want to hide.
Also, the thread mentioned does not say anything about HIDING the three icons, only about changing their look.
Am I wrong in my judgement?
Cheers
i think you are wrong, because if you know how to change an icon, you can change it to an one transparent pixel icon... if im wrong, would someone please correct my assumption; i only changed the start icon of my taskbar, but i think you can take an icon in the colour of your taskbar background, so it would be "invisible" ... am i wrong??
Greetz
Boris
P.S. im also sure, that you can hide the icons with wisbar advanced eventally with the "wisbar advanced desktop" called variant that i used 2 years ago under WM2003, but its not easy to configure i remember

you are right about making icons transparent, but this does not solve my problem. I need MORE space on the taskbar, (the icon that displays number 1 is really annoying and USELESS, it serves for NOTHING at all). If I make the icons transparent, I will not see them, but they still will be there ocupying the precious space that I would use for somethibg else.
I tried the wisebar and I like it, (it is similar to Qmenu I am using), but again, it does not allow me to get rid of the annoying icons.
Am I doing something wrong? well, I am doing a LOT of thimgs wrong, but I mean in this case ...
Ok, now i see your problem, but im afraid, cant help you, but im still sure, that its possible to solve ...
Greetz & good luck

I know for sure that wisbar advance does allow what you are talking about (but I'm not sure what the number one is though as I don't have that item on my taskbar). Make sure you aren't using the lite version. I dont have wisbar install right now so I cant remember exactly how to change it, but I know if can be done because I wanted the almost the exact some configuration as you and was only able to get it via that program. Play around with it some more and if you stilll cant find it let me know and I'll check it later when I have time.
Have you searched for reg edits? I know you can remove the battery. Notifications are a bit harder though. I'm pretty sure Wisbar advanced lets you customize what icons are present, but Wisbar basically just covers up the taskbar with an overlay.
What do you need all this "extra" room for? If you edit the phcanOverbmp.dll you can delete the icons, leaving only the ones you want. It won't "remove" the icons but would make them invisible so it appears to just be 1 long bar.
I dunno, but I can't figure out what you need all this extra "space" for. It appears that's gonna be your best and fastest solution without requiring a 3rd party app to always run in the background and having to deal with the overlay of Wisbar.
its easy,
All I want to have is on the taskbar ALLTHE TIME:
TIME, BAttery and notification, but the two marked icons (ASL and Edge) prevent me from viewing the rest ofd the icons.
I just finished testing with Wisbar that unfortunatelly does not allow this. These two stupid icons that are no use for me, cannot be removed with Wisbar (latest version).
I would search the registry but where... And... I do not want to get rid of battery and time....
Same problem
Hi, I just want to remove the number 1 on the task bar. I have just installed the onyx ultimate 4.2.1 and it appeared after I turned on the cellular on the comm manager. The number 1 referrs to the phone line 1. It really annoying to se it there.
please help someone!!!
Hello. Also same problem. Also using the HTC Touch Pro (right forum, right? Pretty sure.)
This is whats on my Elite ROMS system bar:
I would like to get rid of the big H icon. It goes ot the same thing the H(with signal bars) does! And I would be able to see the entire programs name if it were removed. That, or at least my notifications wouldn't be grouped into the "Talk bubble" icon. I hate when that happens. Three friggin clicks to dismiss an alert!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Any idea? [subscribed]
Thank you for bringing this up because I use OzIM and nothing drives me more insane than not realizing I have a missed call because of the multiple notification bubble. I would be happy just to see signal strength, and thats it. I use a battery bar at the top of the screen so that battery status can go away. I hope someone finds a solution I would life to know as well.
Why not just edit the DLL files where the icons are stored...that should do the trick.
Use reshacker to edit the dll files..
what ddl files are they stored in?
Wont that only make the invisible (vs GONE). I.e. the goal is to recover the space they are inhabiting and slide the others over towards the right.
Removing the image will only "blank" out the space, not slide the others to the right.

use icon size 1 pixel width...make transparent.
They are stored in shellres.192.dll and phcanOverbmp.dll...maybe some other places too but the majority should be there.
ok ... I'm pretty sure this isnt gonna work based on the pervious comments in this thread.
But I wont know til I try. So off I go to try....
Found the shellres.192.dll file .. but if I try to copy it off the device via activesync, windws wnt let me. What gives???
How do I get it off my phone?!
Here are some linkks to registry "tweaks" for some of the icons displayed in the Taskbar:

HTH,
Hi,
I was wondering whether there was an application that could make the Start Windows Icon colorful as it was on Windows 6.1.
Also, is there any way to change the first orange Windows screen when the phone is turned on? It is sooooo ugly!!!!
Thx.
Attached a startup animation courtesy of a developer at modaco (forum won't let me post the link for some reason. It's the desktop windows 7 startup screen and animation, very nice looking.
As for the colourful windows icon, I personally prefer the sleek white one, but there are a ton of taskbar cabs and mods, just have to google for them.
One you might want to look into is called BattClock I believe, and is available somewhere here at xda.
hello guys. I was wondering how could i change the top bar of my screen ? The on where are shown Battery,Wi-fi,Clock etc. Can some1 gimme a link ?
There are quite a few taskbars out there you an use..
You will find them in either the HD2 WM6.5 Themes and apps section or the Windows Mobile Themes section.
Try searching in those forums, also check the sticky threads, there are sometimes a list of different mods available.
You need to make sure that you get the right version for the build of WM you are using.
6.5 Roms use different taskbars from 6.5.x Roms.
If your not sure which version you are using then you can find out depending on how you access your start menu.
6.5 - Acess the start menu from the top left corner of the screen
6.5.x - Access the start menu from the big button in the bottom left.
You need to make sure you get the right one or it will look messed up.
Hope that helps.
Let me preface this by saying I have already searched multiple threads and spent 2+ hours on google to find an answer.
I am looking for a notification app like htc notification that will work with my lg incite (wqvga). I have tried the many ports of htc notification and they all either dont work at all or work but take over my entire taskbar so I cannot press the start button or press x to close a app.
Any suggestions?
Bump! Anybody?
What you want is an utility called ArkSwitch. Once you install it launch it, then goto Menu Options -> Activation field.
From here you can set the placement and the size of the field.
ArkSwitch is a task manager ; I am looking for a notification manager that is full screen and finger friendly. It does not have to launch on tapping the taskbar (but that would be nice) ; I just want a finger friendly way to veiw/dismiss my notifications.
Are you on WM 6.1? An upgrade to 6.5 alone might get you what you want. There are a few custom 6.1 & 6.5 ROMs & kitchens available, perhaps one of them has what you want cooked in. Theoretically, if you know what you're doing & have the right files, you could even cook your own ROM with the features you want. But if you've never cooked a ROM before, that's probably not the best path. Keep in mind, I don't have or know anything about the Incite.
Have you tried FingerSuite?
Alternately, maybe QuickMenu would work on top of the solutions you say take over your taskbar.
Finally, take a look at this thread, but I don't think it'll all work on WM 6.1. It's been a long time, but the "HTC Menu Enhancement Loader" linked in that thread may be enough on it's own. Also, this hack may give you more options for how long you can snooze reminders (but on top of a bunch of other hacks, it may not work, probably only for 6.5).
I don't have a computer running xp or 7- I'm stuck on vista so rom update is out of the question. None of those versions of htc notifications seem to work with 6.1 or wqvga. I guess the program I am looking for does not exist.
I am thinking I could use second today and ultimate launch together to sorta-kinda make a system that would work if I could find some nice looking notification plugins.
Any suggestions on this or other programs that might work would be appreciated!
Sorry, I don't know much about today plugins. iPhoneToday is popular, but I've never used it & don't know it's capabilities. Other than finding another pc to flash from, I guess google is your best option.
