I'm wondering if there is an app (even a commercial product; I'm willing to pay) out there similar to "HTC Large Title Bar". I've got my TyTN II almost totally running with thumb friendly apps. But, I can't seem to find a way to access the title bar icons without using either a key or a stylus. The HTC Large Title Bar app is great in concept, but just doesn't work right on my TyTN II.
Thanks.

Here you go. Included cab for large start menu and large title bar

Nice apps - however I cannot get the start program to work...? It makes a new menu icon under settings but when I press that it sort of loads but then quickly goes "back" again... I installed the title program first on my device, made a softreset and installed the start prog and made a softreset once more...?
There is an app called Touch Commander, but its commercial. I tried a "free trail" and only had partial success. Eventually had to remove it.
I cant find the link, am on Opera Mini, so you'll have to search.
But if you pay for a full version, Im sure you'll get proper support.
Thanks
Dave.

I use Touch Commander (an older version). Are you sure that there's a large Title Bar app in the newest version? I think they just have a large Start Menu function, which I really don't need.
Thanks for your response.

Sorry, missed the point of your post, I was referring to the Large Start Menu.
The cab in the second post for Large start menu made me think you were after that .

Tried your cab. It's the HTC Large Title Bar, which doesn't work well on my TyTN II. Also, what I'm looking for is to have running apps show in the enlarged area, which the HTC Large Title Bar doesn't do.
Thanks for your reply.

Hi all. I am on the hunt for a decent Task Switcher app that will work with WM6.
I used to use Wisbar Lite and loved it but it looks yuck on WM6 as it forces the older (WM5 Close Icon)
What I need is Something that I can launch with a button and will show all the running apps in a pop up window and allow me to switches between them by tapping on an application icon in said pop up window.
And it must not change or add anything to the start bar.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Jules
pBar
have you tried the pBar application that is around on the forums? it's freeware and was based on the old wisbar. seems to work well, but i don't think i am using a full wm6...just the beta ish...or wm5 heavily skinned wm6....
do a search and you're bound to find it...

I'm running a PDAviet WM6, it has this in it's ROM. Tap and hold upper-right corner.
I love it when I can answer my own questions
After searching and using a bunch off apps and not having any luck I just tried Small Menu and It works 100% in WM6.
Meets all my requirements
More news or problems as I find them

gspocket magic
best app that does all you want
Thanks for the replies.
Vilem. please can you elaborate on that?
I am using Davit ver 3 and have not seen this app.
Sandrobber. Thanks for the file, I have tried the app before but it doesn't match or look good on the stock WM6 start bar. am I missing a setting or something?
So far SmallmenuPlus is the winner for me.
Jules
I have to say, people I know that have been running Crossbow for a few months, have found SmallMenuPlus to be great.
On an unrelated note, I've run SmallMenu pretty much since I got my first WinMob phone, and can highly recommend it. It's not perfect, but it's very useful.
PocketMagic is also a very worth (free) contender.
I don't use Wisbar (resource usage....) so can't comment.
V
Does anyone know a way to exclude some applications (activesync and phone) from smallmenuplus task list?
Killing the phone process during a conversation or closing activesync during a pc sync can be really dangerous/disappointing.
No, I don't think you can, hence my "It's not perfect"
Try writing to the author, he's still active, although the app only seems to get minor updates these days.

I've been using Dinar HandySwitcher 2.5 from DinarSoft for a good while now. It has the decided advantage that you can also remove the application from memory, or all applications from memory, right from the main screen. Most times the only way to clear applications is through the start/settings/systems /memory route or a hard power down.
It's not free but it is cheap, easy and effective. Don't know if it runs on W6.
Trying it now.
Works fine in WM6.
Thanks
pocket magic
you can chenge the pictures of the start bar in pocket magis but it takes some enginutity and time. your have to edit the bitmap. Play aroung with it enough and I'm sure you can make it even look loke a vista button

@ZaJules,
Which taskswitcher did you settle with in the end for WM6?
Hadn't seen this thread, thanks for bumping it up . So I'm trying SmallMenuPlus and this seems like a really nice (and fast) replacement for Wisbar Lite. The one thing I miss though is there is no soft reset in the menu. I like having that ability to do a soft reset via the menu due to the case I have doesn't have easy access to the reset hole on the side. Anyone know how to add this?
Also, does SmallMenuPlus not close apps when you press the X? Does it just put them in background? Can that be configured?
SKmenu
Skmenu is the one for me. Its not free(for the cascading menu part, which can be deactivated! ), but the taskbar switching works 100% with the demo. I have always used it, its very light, and its accessible 100% of the time= very quick(response speed is the issue i have with the rest of the apps mentioned). Although it doesnt come preconfigured setting it up takes less than a minute, and its easy enough for any level user.
The best solution for me. I also use an Alt-tab application mapped to a hardware button for easy access, like when driving etc...
about taskswicher
sry my poor english
Since 2004 and IPAQ6340 until today wizard/universal/hermes WM6 I have used HaaliTS TaskSwicher-2002.
Lives silently in upper left corner, shows additionally free battery and memory.
Dont needs install, copy exe, make shortcut, all )
Perfect for me and my friends (~25-30 units).
Have tested all here overmentioned progs, but find it best. Small footprint, etc.
regards
And what about this little tool??

BTW: I´m using ilauncher and you can put taskmanager to button. Works perfekt in every WM6

Exactly what I needed!
Folks,
Okay, I read the manual and searched and still can't find a way to customise the content of the HTC Home plugin. I don't mean the large, square HTC Home app that has tabs, just the little launcher bar.
I didn't realise I had this and the only reason I installed my SPB Pocket Plus app was for the launcher bar (most other things already covered by HTC software).
Thanks for any help on how I get my own links in there
Regards,
Gary.
Just an update (and a bump )
Holding the stylus in an empty part of the plugin results in nothing (no menu etc.)
Holding the stylus on an object in the plugin, ditto (it will just launch the link)
The links don't seem to be the same as the HTC Home box with the tabs etc.
Are the links stored in a special directory somwhere?
The manual doesn't even mention the plugin!
Frankly, it seems a bit lame not to allow users to easily config this plugin. As I said earlier, with the HTC features built in (e.g. full close on the "X"), I could really do without the extra processing baggage needed.
Regards,
Gary.

Thanks for bringing it up - no, nobody seems to know here (apparently, everyone prefers the big, square HTC Home applet but for me, it takes too much real estate).
I'd welcome any input - I'm still of the impression that there must be a directory with shortcuts in it somewhere but I can't find it.

Hello,
I want more space on the todayscreen. HTC home-plugin is quite big, but too handy to loose.
Now I installed F-secure mobile the icon shows up in the bottom line (taskbar?) of the today-screen. Eating yet another line of available space.
Can this icon be removed, or even the whole taskbar?
Well, there's literally hundreds of threads covering this question.. Searching first never hurts.
The only way to do it easily is using Lakeridges wisbar software however it requires purchase after the trial period ends. Its cheap enough $10.
You can also check out vjtools toggletodayII to enlarge viewable screen area, but its a little buggy.
Ok, thanks. I did some searching, and saw wisbar passing by. But I didn't think it could do what I wanted. I guess I overlooked it in the features. I'll give it a try now though. Thanks for the tip.
ok, I've played with wisbar. VERY powerfull tool!
I found out it wasn't the taskbar I wanted to remove, but the system-tray. But wisbar can do that too. Nice tool! TNX for the tip.

I am using this nice program called PMC today shrink that removes the bottom soft keys. I don't know if this is what you are looking for but here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-342837.html
Cheers.
Hmmmm, tried UNinstalling Wisbar, but it's not completely uninstalled. Leaves A LOT of traces. Now trying to remove all that.
Tried softkey removal, but I didn't like that. Thanks for the tip though.

Yeah, that is a nice little cab file that basically installs the vjtoggletodayII alpha for you automagically.
Since the born of Manila Editor, why someone (not me, I'm not able ) doesn't create a little app to restart TF3D?
It's a little bit annoying to go to start/settings/today/items to disable it and exit, then return inside to restart it.
Could be wonderfull a sort of macro to do it
Thx in advance!
Thread moved to Diamond general!
there is a free app called 'no plugins today' which if you run it once disables your today plugins, then run it again and it enables them. Seeing as TF3D is just a today plugin I don't see why this wouldnt work. Google for it.
I found some trick on Diamond by accident. If you move TF3D from left to right few times, (not sure how many, like 5-10 times) then it restarts.
Yhey... NoPluginsToday works!
Thanx a bunch bigruss!

is that a bug or what ?
I know a trick to restart your TFLO3D in a few clicks. If you have Wisbar Advance 2 installed, simply go to the control panel menu on the start menu and press 'Close all'. This will close all running programs running in the background including Manila.exe which will then re-appear.
Besides the Diamond looks a lot better with Wisbar Advance 2 and the skin of enCORe called Prot'n OB green skin, it matches with HTC green bars
Hi All,
Just updated my Touch Diamond 2 to TOM's new WM 6.5 ROM. I'm happy with everything, but the new start menu is a little awkward. Its very small, and it shows everything. I liked HTC's original TouchFlo 'Programs' tab, as this allows me to add shortcuts to the apps I use most, and hide the remaining ones in the "All Programs" soft key.
However, I don't know how to change it so when I click the Start Menu (or the hardware button) it opens the Programs screen. I'm sure its a registry setting, but I don't know which one exactly.
Any help would be appreciated.
I dunno whether this will be the one for you, but it's worth taking a look at:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\EnlargeMenu]
"EnableManilaStartMenu"=dword:00000001

Thanks, but this doesn't seem to work. Even a reset doesn't change the start menu behaviour.
Can anyone else help?
hard reset?
as the title ...
How about this one:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"EnableStartMenu"=dword:00000001
(perhaps in conjuction with the other one)
