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??

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,
I am looking for a way of re-assigning the left softkey on my home tab to open the Manila All People tab rather than having to bring my hidden slider up, scroll to People tab then click the All People softkey. I know how to reassign the softkey and edit the softkey text in the registry, I just need help with the correct path for the All People tab. Is there anyone out there clever enough to be able to furnish me with this (if indeed it is possible)
Try This

Try this with a registry editor (i.e. PHM Regedit)
Navigate to
HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila
Check For & Change (Type exactly as it is)
HomeLSKPath = !"\Windows\manila.exe" --switchtopage Manila://people\browserlayer\?.page
Edit the Label
HomeLSKText = Contacts (Text Can be anything you like - Mine says 'Contacts' but if you want you can label it as 'All People')
EDIT: Special thank to Tboy2000 for including this in his thread even I never noticed and a special thank to morpheus1982 for pointing .
First prize to that man!

Hi,
I assigned soft-key to All People, thank you.
But I only ever use it to search for a specific contact by pressing Search icon in upper right corner (not by scrolling through the alphabet on the right).
So is it possible to save one extra press and assign to the soft-key the address to open the search field with cursor in it?
Hope I described the requirement clearly enough
The alternative option is to use phone interface and type the name on the numeric keys - but it is noisy.
Thanks in advance for any info.
G.
I don't really understand this, is it in the "String" I shall write this down?
Edit: I got it working
ohhh how would i make an actual shortcut to my all people tab so i can have it as a quick link?

Just choose it as a quicklink?
I cant choose it on the links because there is no shortcut to it, but I sorted it now. I just made a txt file, put the 99#"\Windows\manila.exe" --switchtopage Manila://people\browserlayer\?.page in the file, changed it from a .txt to a .lnk and dropped iot in my starmenu
Works a treat!

Mate,
I am not taking credit for anything ... I just helped him to get what he needed as I was also using this for a long time.. May be Tboy2000 has published this in his thread which is good for everybody... and this is one of the things I do right after a flash .. If you ever use Energy ROMs you will see that NRGZ always assigns left soft key to the "Action Screen" which I change to contacts ..
Anyway if it's in Tboy2000's thread, credit to him for publishing this and once again I expect no credit for this .. was just trying to help a guy without telling him to "Search the damn forum first" with the information I already had in my hand ..
Thank you very much mate ... and really appreciate the concern ..
EDIT: I updated the first reply
Thanks
I am looking forward to this a lot. So many thanks....

You just need to find the exe file for lock and follow the same instructions using that path. Cna you not just press your end key to switch screen off - this also locks the device on my phone?

I'm talking about the buttons (Start, Phone, Menu on main page) not the background of these buttons.
As you see on my screenshot even if I change the BG, it doesnt change the button, so I got the edge, the curtain....
I only want to see the writing on my black Background
OR got buttons with full black skin without the edges

all you need is a transparent .tsk file,unzip and copy to your windows folder then set in......
start menu>settings>home> transparent softkeys
it will change your top and bottom bars to grey i think,after you choose it just use whichever app it is you use to re-skin your softkey and taskbar area's

it doesn't automatically do it for you,after the cab install you must
{select start menu,select settings,in there select home,you will see a list of whichever rom your using .tsk files which will change softkeys,colors of taskbar softkey area,Select trans. softkeys in that list and select ok in bottom right corner,give it a few seconds and it will change the softkeys to transparent, ***note as i mentioned before it will turn the softkey area and the taskbar area to a grey color,also as i mention simply re-skin your taskbar area and softkey area and soft reset when prompted via whichever app you are using,after that you should have results like the ones i posted in the pic}
hope this is a better explanation of how to achieve the effect your looking for!

You are welcome,
This cab is only a small change in the registry path:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Toolbar\ToolbarIconBubbleButtonThemeImage changing the value to \Windows\HTCdefault_toolbarIconBubbleButton.png
After this cab installed, any template png format named HTCdefault_toolbarIconBubbleButton.png existing in windows folder of your HD2 will be used as button for the incons of the bottombar.
And exactly the same for the buttons of the texts, but using the value \Windows\HTCdefault_toolbarTextBubbleButton.png for the registry path HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Toolbar\ToolbarTextBubbleButtonThemeImage
Of course if there is no png file with that name in \windows will be no buttons in the bottombar then
EDIT: this is the way it works in my HD2 with WM6.5.5

Saw this on Gizmodo:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/circlelauncher-light/de.dbware.circlelauncher.light
Multi select apps from one widget.
Liking it!
Tried this. It duplicates the launcher icons every redraw until it gets overwhelmed and FCs. Give it more time.
That problem only occurs with Angry Birds. I believe they are working on a fix.
Hi all,
Does anyone have a clue, how to:
- Add a shortcut to Circlelauncher.
I mean the shortcut should appear as app, maybe in the manu as well.
Ive been using it for a while now and think it's great! occasionally it slows down when opening one of the circlelancher widgets (i have four on my screen) but have never experienced an FC from it.
Tap to open the launcher. Currently installed apps appear. To add more, tap circle icon. List of all apps should appear. Check the ones you want....Is this what toy meant?

Do you mean getting the circlelauncher to appear on your screen? If so keep in mind that they are widgets so you have to long press on your screen and select it from the widget menu.
If you mean choosing the individual apps, you choose them from the settings menu.
Hi all, thanks for the answers.
But you dont get it, so far. So: I would like to add a shortcut (like call the chosen contact, go to wifi settings) to the circle. The problem is, that you can add only apps which are on the devicle. I should make the shortcut to appear as app, and than I could add it to circlelauncher.
Or to add shortcut somehow else. (I know that in a normal case, you can not add shortcuts to it)
I want to clear my homesreen totaly btw. Dou you know any launcher, that would let me to even make the dialer or contact button to disapperar? (have motorola defy)
BR to all.

Since the Nook Color so far can't make shortcuts, I might suggest asking in the Motorola Defy section of the forum.
facebook picture for contacts
Circlelauncher is a great widget so far, haven't had any problems. Does anyone know if it's possible to use the facebook pictures as the picture for the contacts? That would be a great addition!
Is there a way to arrange the order of the icons? I want to group like items.

I got Themer today, and I really love how a lot of them look, but I ended up sticking with my plain stock because I like to have most things on the home screen in folders. I tried making a folder, but it didn't work.
Are there any themes that incorporate folders? Did I just do it incorrectly or are they not an option? I realize you can go into apps, and then use the categories, but I'd much rather have them on my home screen.
Plus, if I have an app, like my flashlight, that I really need on my home screen for accessibility, it's kind of obnoxious against the pretty, cohesive theme, and sticks out. If there was a folder I could stick it in on the home screen that matched the rest of the theme, it would look better. Does that make sense? I might just be rambling now.
It's a really cool app though, I like that you can do these things without rooting, I didn't realize that was possible. (My noob is showing... )

Hi Lumosx,
With Themer, there are multiple ways of adding folders.
First, you can drag and drop apps from the app drawer onto one you've already added. To do this:
1. Drag an app onto the app drawer that you'd like in your folder.
2. Then drag another app next to it; a popup may appear asking you to unlock widgets.
3. Select Yes and open the Desktop menu and deselect Lock homescreeen Icons.
You're now able to drag icons into one another, creating folders accordingly.
Alternatively, you can use Smart Category folders. These are the categories you see in the app drawer, and adding one of these does come with some advantages. To add one:
1. Long press on the homescreen > Advanced > Desktop > Unlock homescreen Icons.
2. Long press on the homescreen > Smart Categories > choose your preferred category.
3. Tap the icon > Select the overflow icon (3-dot icon) > Manage, in order to manually add/remove apps.
Now this category will be saved for every theme that you use.
To change the look of a folder (with both methods), long press on the icon > Edit > then select an icon either from selected packs or a simple image. Let us know if you need to find an image/icon to match your theme.
Hope this helps!

I got it to work, thank you very much! I'm very happy with it now.
One more question: The only issue I have now is that there's one particular widget that tells me it's already added when I try to put it on the screen, but it's not actually there. Do you know what the problem could be? It came with the phone (Walkmate) if that matters.

What's your device and the widget called? We want to see if we can replicate this issue.
Also does it happen with all themes or one specific theme?
Lastly, is there room for the widget? What may happen is that a widget might take up the whole screen, not allowing for any widgets to be added. Deleting all the widgets on the page and try to add this widget will help us figure out what's causing the problem.
I have a Galaxy S3, the widget is Walkmate. It should fit, it's small and I have at least half the screen free. I tried when the screen was blank as well. The theme is Frosted Glass. I tried using a random theme as well and it still didn't work (it was Hi-Tech).
It's not a huge issue or anything.
