Wisbar Advance will allow for this.

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??

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:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WM5_Tweaks_Other
http://wiki.modaco.com/index.php/Windows_Mobile_5_Registry_Tweaks
HTH,
I was missing this task manager,This is the fix for WKTASKL for wm 6.5,
In the exclusion list include Start ,Settings, Connections , Personal ,System ,.This exclusion option can be obtain by adding the "titles" in the exclusion list, and check "dont close by X butt".Thats it, give ur feedbacks.
One more fatal fix
Also put Games, Office Mobile in the exclusion list. Or take out games say solitare, or bubble from Games folder, and put it programs folder and delete Games folder.Other folder follows the steps.
Also while putting names in add list , put the correct words like Setting , Start.
This is it, I want comments guys!

May be someone comes up with that fix, that issue still remains, but u can change the colour manually.I think till WKTASKL has new V, it cant do well.
@Premo: Buddy you are doing fabulous efforts for getting it working, thats no question. But i think WKTask will give problems with WM 6.5 as it is not design to work with it. 6.5 Interface has gone major changes and one of these is MultiColor enabled themes. Under the new themes, the taskbar changes its look depending upon the place you are in the UI. Its transparent on the Today screen, semi transparent on the start menu and opaque in apps. WKTask is not compatible with these changes, its been designed for a static taskbar. Plus the start menu changes are also quiet big for it. It needs a new version before it can work properly.

Yes that is correct. Is it always on top of every tab. Even when I open Opera it is on top. I have never oticed that before.
What I mean is that the taskbar and softbar look exactly the same on all the tabs. It changes where all the tabs have a taskbar and softbar that look like the one on the homescreen. It has to do with CHT because when I change the softbar and taskbar and it resets, it is setting the taskbar and softbar on all the tabs. I don't think that is normal.

very nice 50% transparency by sharkie405 here
Great Thanks !
Transparent Top Curtain
Is there a cab that makes the top curtain transparent?
Thanks in advance
here are the manila files, put them in your windows folder. back up the originals first.
I was able to get the bottom curtain transparent by using Sharkie405's Transparent CHT Softkey cab. I tried the manila file from the Transparent curtains zip file but it had no effect. See attached screen shot. I am trying to get the top black bar transparent. Thanks for the assistance.
that's the taskbar not the curtain, its not possible to make it transparent however cht 2.0 has the option to skin it to match your wallpaper....

Only if your running windows 6.5 not 6.5.x so I have been lead to belive.
btw. what is the best method to clear the start menu text. I've try a couple that just crash my phone. (very anoying)
Cheers, Billy
im pretty sure you can skin the taskbar on 6.5.x....
I haven't heard anybody complaining about that yet, and. it would cause some serious complaints lol...
the start menu text in the top left??
its contained in a .dll file which requires a lot of messing around to edit and a different approach depending on your rom.
not a very user friendly tweak im afraid......

Hi thanks for the info on the "Start Text". Guess I'll just keep looking and crashing till I get it.
As for the other Your probably right about skining it in general I was meaning more from using CHT (From Frequently asked questions section)
Q: Why can't I skin my taskbar and softkeybar?
A: This feature is only available on WM6.5
Not trying to show of or anything, Just that bit stuck in memory.
Not Forgetful all the time, just when the wife or the boss is asking difficult questions.

I cant remember which .dll it is but this link..... might come in handy if you decide to go down the route of messing around with the taskbar.......
I dont know what they mean by that Q in the CHT thread, I think that includes 6.5.x because Ive seen screenshots in the today screen thread from ppl on 6.5.x with skinned taskbars very confusing...... lol
to skin the taskbar (aka make it look transparent) is doable.
but it depends on your theme (the one you have checked off in your systems part of your phone.)
you will find the image at:
hkcu\ software\ microsoft\today\taskbar\taskbarthemeimage
it is 36px high.
simply cut off the top 36px of your desired bg pic and change the registry.
haven't found an easier way.
hope this makes sens.

Thank you for these cabs but they didn't helped me. I want to have the bottom curtain gone/transparent. See the picture.
Best regards.
I think this might be what your looking for......
All credit to poyensa for his work
Thank you for the file, but what is the procedure to replace the file?
Best regards.
oops sorry.......
I forgot that it wasnt in a cab.....
You can place that file into the windows folder in your device memory, overwrite the one thats already there and restart sense.
Ill make you a cab and attach it to this post in a minute if thats easier........
Edit;
Attached cab....
Hope thats what you were looking for........
Thank you very much for your efforts but the result is the same (see photo). I want to remove the bottom black area marked with red in the photo. Maybe it has something to do with CHT 2.0. I don't know.
Best regards.

I know it's a software problem CHT, the question must ask the author of the program, the transparency of cab files for this are not met

you cant, thats just the manila weather animation not fitting the screen properly.
There might be a fix but I havent seen one
Sorry.
Finally, I make it working. The problem was the wallpaper who was shorter. Once I change it to another, the weather went all the way down.
Off topic: do you know a way to put high quality pictures to contacts without 3rd party apps? If not, what is the maximum resolution for contacts pictures that can be assigned?
Thank you for your help.
