Is there any way to hide the volume icon in the task bar without using WisBar3? I much prefer the close button handling of SPB Plus (probably long familiarity) so running WisBar isn't something I really want to do.
Thanks

Hi,
Anyone found a way to move the new windows taskmanger over a few icons towards the middle? It's always hidden under the X and thus useless to change programs. In fact it might be useful to order/move all the icons in the top task bar??
I've always used Magic Button but it doesn't seem to work that well with WM6.1, Ariel or WiseBar might be an option? Otherwise thinking of remapping one of the very scarce buttons??
Thanks.
Somehow I managed to remove the icon completely. Anyone who knows how to get it back?
settings -> taskmanager , choose button tab.
Hi,
Yep, that was how I setup TaskManager.
x Enable "X" button to end running programs
x End programs by tapping "X"
o End programs by tapping and holding "X"
x Enable Quick Menu on Today screen
x = checked
... however the TaskManager quick menu in under the "X" button. i.e. you have to close every program to get to the manager to change to the program you want ... but now it's closed??
I could use tap & hold to end, then minimise every program to change, but I was thinking like magic button - if I could just move the |||> icon over one space to the left I could tap TaskManger and then go to the program I want. Maybe I'm just being really really dumb?
Missing TaskManger dis this fix the problem?
I would like to know if its possible to remove some icons from the systray (upper right corner)
1.) Battery: useless since im using batti, i dont need the battery icon there.
Batti has an optionto show or not the icon, but it doesnt work.
2.) Sound: useless imo, since i can access the volume control by just pressing the volume keys on the left side of the Diamond.
Ive searched alot and can fix this.
Tired lots of battery apps, but none will disable the icon.
Ive tried this code:
Code:
hklm\software\microsoft\shell\ShowTitleBarClock
0=battery
1=clock
2=neither
3=Both
but as soon as i access the system setting the battery icon will return.
Any help is appreciated.

I am using handy switcher and its annoying to face with information related with those icons when I think I pressed hand switcher
I have the same question too ....
Still looking.

I really like the included HTC Task Manager as it is, particularly what I really like is the popup menu when on the home screen that allows you to close some or all apps or jump to any running minimized apps.
The functionality I want added is so simple I wouldn't be surprised if it's already there and I'm missing it.
I want the X button to close apps as normal, but if I tap and hold the X button I want it to bring up the Task Manager popup, in ALL programs.
The reason is I really want an easy way for switching between minimized apps and the Task Manager popup is the perfect simple way to do it but I have to be at the today screen to bring it up. If I could be in Word, tap and hold, then switch to a minimized Excel sheet it would be much easier than having to hit the home button then bring up the task switcher. I've tried alot of 3rd party task manager apps but they either don't do what I want or add too much complexity to what should be a simple task changing app.
Does this function already exist or has somebody made a cab that extends the Task Manager dropdown to all programs that have an X?
I been wondering the exact same thing but have not found the answer as of yet during my search.
Anyone?
Thanks

I use HomeScreen ++ (formally BatteryStatus and used it on a Wizard) and is brilliant... Has exactly what you are after plus way more, minute counter,txt counter, data counter and more still!! Even better, its free!!
Have a look/test

I'm currently running VEGAn 5.1.1 (love it) and for tablets, even more than phone there needs to be an easy way to switch applications. Holding down the home button will only give you a list of recently run apps, not apps that are currently running.
Currently I'm using / liking MultiTasking Pro:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/multitasking-pro/com.tkdtnek23.app.multitaskingpro
Here's the free/lite version:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/multitasking-lite/com.tkdtnek23.app.multitaskinglite
I have it bound to the single home tap action. And have it set to show/start on the Running tab. If I double tap Home (either on VEGAn toolbar or GTablet soft button) it goes to my designated launcher (launcher pro). Ideally I'd like a dedicated button for it on the title bar, ala HoneyComb's status bar, but this works good enough.
I've used other task switchers on my phone that have image previews, like:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/visual-task-switcher-free/com.esdmobile.taskswitcher (haven't tested this one on GTablet yet)
but they tended to be glitchy and sometimes laggy, so I'm ok living without image previews .
Anybody else want to share what task switchers they may be using and what you like/dislike about them?
Check out smart taskbar
My task switcher of choice is Dock4droid. It's a slick, fancy way to quickly get to your recent apps. But you can also specify apps to stay in the launcher dispite not being recently used.
I've got it set to pop out when I swipe with my thumb on the right edge of the screen, It's sooooo slick!

I am using Perfect Task Switcher , it allows me to switch and close tasks. Have it setup to popup on long press of search button
I just tried all of these, and ended up uninstalling all of them. I dislike how most remove the ability to click home button and see a preview of your different home screens (even if you don't set single click home button as the task switcher button).
Smart Task Bar seemed good, but long hold search button doesnt seem to work with button savior, and I have my soft keys turned off
tried all, like Smart task the best...
Since i switched to cm for kfhd7" (many thx @ hashcode!) i miss the hideable navigation bar like i've had on stock rom.
Does anybody knows a way to get this navigation bar working with cm10.1?
The search didn't get a result for me.
thx in advance
Do the following:
1. Go to Settings
2. Tap System
3. Check the Expanded Desktop tickbox.
4. Press the Home button.
5. Now, when you hold the power button on the Kindle, in the menu where you shut down or reboot the Kindle there will be an option called Expanded Desktop, activate it.
6. Bye bye navbar!!
7. To reactivate the navbar, hold the power button down and deselect the Expanded Desktop option.
Now you can finally use all the available screen space goodness for apps. If you want to do away with the navbar completely, I'd recommend doing a search for LMT Launcher.
Thank you for the answer.
I think i should describe it a little bit more precise.
The expanded desktop option is no option for me because it's to circuitous to get the navigation bar back.
The best way for me was the way like it implemented in stock rom where i can display the navigation bar only with one slide.
Is there a solution to get this behavior back?
Yes, goto this thread and follow the instructions, if you get stuck let me know and I'll try to guide you.

Ok that's a beginning.
I don't really like the pies but it's better than the static navigation bar.
A pity that there it's seem to be no way to get the old behavior back.
Thank you!
