I can't believe I even need to ask this question but how do you get the clock to be at the taskbar (up at the very top next to the bars) on this phone on the Today Screen? I'm not gonna waste all that real estate for those huge clocks.
Also, would love to get the date up to the top as well (format mm/dd).
First hour playing on this phone, I can tell that I prefer the navigation rocker on the 760 much better. Wish they gave this device that third style to navigate with the middle button...
If Apps, there's a checkbox on the last tab of the Clocks Settings. But that shows the clock on the apps only; on the Today screen it still shows the battery meter. I do find it sometimes (rarely) gets confused and shows the battery on a app as well (back and forth to today resolves it).
What i think happened is I tried the battery bar from spb pcoket plus. That ditches the batery icon and replaces it with a thin bar accross the whole top of the scren. By doing that the clock is always active. Then i removed the battery bar as none of hte 3rd party indicators work. It got removed but the clock stayed.
So i think the registy change that pcoket plus did to force the clock always never got undone.
If you wish to hide the battery indicator in the task bar on some devices, you can set:
HKLM\Services\Power\ShowIcon = 0 (DWORD decimal)
And to show:
HKLM\Services\Power\ShowIcon = 1 (DWORD decimal)
Note that this icon and its feature may not be available on your device at all. For example, the HTC Wizard regularly ships with a battery indicator in the Tray instead, governed by "Windows\Startup\Init_Tray.exe".
I don't think anyone's posted it yet. I've implemented the registry change below and no longer have the lame battery icon while viewing the Today Screen. I'm just going to quote what was said, so that I don't muck up the instructions:
What you need is a DWORD value called ShowTitleBarClock that is set to 1. The value needs to be placed in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell. After adding the value and flushing the registry (usually the safest way to do that is to hit the power button to suspend the device, wait a few seconds, and then hit it again to wake it back up) reset the device.
OK, I've finally figured out the registry changes to get the clock and date up in the task bar in place of the battery icon. But as I read somewhere, the last digit of the year is cut off by the space reserved for the x icon over on the far right. Try as I might, I have not been able to find a way so far to truncate the date so it only has month and day, like 3/9 instead of the current 3/9/10. Can any one walk me through how do do this?
