Today screen - Hiding some of the icons - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Im sorry if this has been asked before, but i couldnt think of any terms to search for.
Im running dutty's 6.1 ROM and would like to remove the 5 icons in the middle of the screen. The icons are the ones for photo viewer, new task, camera music and phone. Is there a way that i can just remove this entire bar?
or, if possible, is it possible i can mix & match the icons i listed above with the 5 other icons which are displayed above them on the phone (home, weather, music, phone sounds and quick launch).
For example, i like the weather icon, music icon, phone sounds, home and new task icons so is there a way i could just have these 5 in a bar toegther, and bin the other 5 i dont use?
thanks guys

That's why it's an HTC program. Why don't you use SPB Mobile Shell which is just the same?!?!?
very nice
works soo great on my kaiser
really appreciate it,thanks the guy from pxdxa~~
and i have a question:
i install your attachment,and just have the clock and msg,no green icons~
the green icons on your screen(the quick links?) are htchomeplug, right?
yep, you need to go to the settings - today - and there is one more tab - plus! - where you can setup what you will see or not. just setup it here
It's interesting, very minimalist compared to the HTC Home. I wish they would have added Tab support as in the Home plugin, so we could switch to contact photodialing, quick launch etc.
The existing quick launch along the bottom is nice, especially being able to add any program to it (and drag icons to re-arange their order). But it's only one line, having to click on an arrow to scroll through them. Expanding it to display more lines, or perhaps even the entire screen (if needed) would have been nice.
I'll be sticking with HTCHome for now, maybe use Plus! to add 1 row of quicklaunch icons and not display the clock/mesage indicators.
(unless I am misunderstanding what this app does):
Just to let you guys know, your Kaisers should already be pre-installed with the Quicklaunch icons (with one additional for backlight) prior to installing this app. Go to "settings>today>items". Look through the list and check the box next to "HTCHomeplug" (Not htc home). The only difference is the icons aren't green.
ee, i do not agree. thchomeplug is someting different from this. icons are smaller then on quicklink and you can not customize it..
disagree

you can customize htchomeplug search for either the thread started by me or search for registry under kaiser upgrading and you can customize the new htc tray app using the same registry keys
yep, already found that and it was posted HERE
the problem that i find with this home plug in is that the quick link to the txt, mms and e-mail are all liked to the same main page of Messages, not individually like the htc home plugin v.2... can you fiz that issue, or can any one fix that??

Modified Home Icons

Home Icons shows yellow when selected.
Just thought I'd give back a little. I like and use the "wofty" theme which in turn, uses yellow text in the start menu and on the home screen, so I edited the Home icons to show yellow color when selected. Use like any other custom icons, clocks or whatever. They're just a little different when you select them. I just wanted a complete theme w/ background, text and icons all visually working together.
great job. sorry to sidetrack for a moment, but that home plugin for bluetooth.... i have a BT headset i'd love to make a "quicklink" for like you did in those screens.... can you explain how you did it?
EDIT: I just found out it's called the "HTC BT Quicklink" plugin. Can I get a link to this plugin?

Update [Winterface 1.2 Themes] Neon, Tenius, Realize and :-) Hand Drawn

All functioning and even the screen orientation icons make sense now.
Thanks to icons mostly from here:

and some extra ones from me
Tenius.zip contains an alternative Today plug-in button...drop "today.bmp" into Main Memory\Program Files\VITO\Winterface\skins\bin
Realize weather icons from oscarbum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3032867&postcount=24
[UPDATE] Added neon weather icons to neon.zip file (adapted from original Vito icons)
[UPDATE] See post #59 for extra Neon icons in a dll file. They can be used by calling them in a .lnk file as described elsewhere in this forum.
Briefly, you make a txt file and the syntax would be, for instance:
81#"\Storage Card\Program Files\CorePlayer\player.exe"?\Storage Card\My_icons.dll,-20
where the number 20 is the icon index in the dll file. I've also attached in post #59 a png file showing the icon index number for all of the icons in the dll file.
Best of luck
Great, thank you!
That's funny. I've been working on a new theme for WAD2 using this set and it didn't occur to me to use it for WF. Nice work.
Amazing Work! Thanks
For me, THE best skin for winterface... great job, and thanks for sharing
Posted the various links for WF themes here on xda-devs...
...at blog.iwindowsmobile.com
and the moderators keep removing them.
I wonder why :-/
i think they still see skinning as hacking. but then what do they expect if they don't offer alternative themes themselves? even though the software is pretty good, many people won't buy it because of the oppressive look of the UI.
people want a constant theme running through their whole device and application UI, or they want to be able to tweak things to their satisfaction
*more people will buy the software*
hope someone from Vito reads this.
i love it man vito/iwindows should allow open skins for this it makes it more attractive...and i was think (maybe its too ipone-ish but) they should lock the bottom bar and allow us to put our most used apps/settings/contax etc there just a thought but im addin this new skin to the collection
Great! Thanx friend!
thanks for all. I like it. I love the VITO Interface but now it has a very very good look and beautiful colors...
Thanks a lot...
Just for a laugh...
...some hand-drawn icons added to first post
nice, nice... thanxx man
Nice, thanks dave
If you ever decide to do another Winterface theme...
Here's some things I've found that might save you some time....
1. Don't do a calendar icon. Winterface replaces it with the background icon in the black file and puts the date on it.
2. Don't do a clock icon. Same reason.
3. Also, the weather icon in the icons file is no longer used. It pulls the info from the weather icons.bmp.
4. On my phone anyway, Winterface doesn't use the calculator icon. Kind of an odd glitch.
5. I don't use bluetooth, so I don't know for sure, but unless the plain bluetooth icon opens bluetooth explorer, doing all three icons is pointless too.
6. This next point actually adds time, but I noticed you did not do anything with the top row contact icon. It is skinnable, you just need to make sure you do EXACTLY the same thing to the contact icon in black.bmp.
Great job, as always. I hope to be back working on more icons soon as well once I finished my Blackberry Bold theme for WAD2.
Another theme
Here's one I threw together this morning. (Are we nearing the point of simply having a Winterface theme thread?)
I don't know if I've posted the weather icons before but it goes well with the realize theme.

Although I think it does use this icon if your default calendar app is not the standard Windows one. One way of working is to have your appointments shown on S2U2 as you unlock and use a better calendar such as Thumbcal as standard
2. Don't do a clock icon. Same reason.
3. Also, the weather icon in the icons file is no longer used. It pulls the info from the weather icons.bmp.
That's another ton of work I have to do :-(
4. On my phone anyway, Winterface doesn't use the calculator icon. Kind of an odd glitch.
Mine neither, but I figured that's because I dono't use the standard calculator
5. I don't use bluetooth, so I don't know for sure, but unless the plain bluetooth icon opens bluetooth explorer, doing all three icons is pointless too.
Yes, the plain one opens Bluetooth settings
6. This next point actually adds time, but I noticed you did not do anything with the top row contact icon. It is skinnable, you just need to make sure you do EXACTLY the same thing to the contact icon in black.bmp.
I thought the very same thing this morning. My upcoming theme will change this icon as well
Great job, as always. I hope to be back working on more icons soon as well once I finished my Blackberry Bold theme for WAD2.

Should be able to post another here in a day or so, depending on whether I take on the buttons and the weather icons as well!
Good work and thanks for the tips
well i notice the slide to unlock image (lock) is messed up. also, there are pink dots on bottom left and right of bluetooth icon.
other than that they're amazing. thanks for the icons.
we are also waiting your last theme with realize icons,oscarbum.
thank you both.
is anyone else having this issue.. it's also noticed when i move icons around and when one icon goes over another, it has parts of the icon that is transparent and that's how the lock looks when it appears. this is vga supported, right? i have touch pro.
Yes, I think that's the messed up lock icon that was mentioned
on another note though, I can' get the contact pictures to work if I change any of the contact icons as you said oscarbum.
I've tried changing the two in black.bmp and the one in icons.bmp in every combination and it doesn't work.
The pictures need to work in three places in the theme:
When you view you contacts ready to dial
When you select the contact to bring up details
When you add a contact.
There is no combination of changed icons (all identical) that works.

Is it possible to hide the click in the top right? (Captivate)

Is this possible? I find it redundant to use beautiful widgets with a clock already on the screen...
Thanks.

I'm sure it would be by modding the framework file. You should maybe start there and see where that goes.
You can do it by modding the framework file, or take the easy way like I did and use launcherpro and have it set to hide the notification bar.

Thought of that, but then I cant see my notifications at the top which I use a lot.. id just like to remove the clock, and slide all the battery and signal info to the right to take up its space.
I found work-arounds for that problem too lol. I customized my dock with 'call', 'texts', and 'gmail' icons and set the preference to show the 'unread' or 'missed call' count on the icon. I think it just makes my home screen look cleaner. Plus I get the full screen view of Katy Perry's half naked body woot woot.
Or you can also just set the notification bar to be hidden, and set the home softkey to pull down the notification bar.

4.2.2 update and duplicate icons

Hi All,
I have a HTC One and recently got the OTA update for Jellybean. On the bar at the bottom i have Phone, Messages, Email and camera but then when i go to my apps i have the same icons again. Seems a little pointless and it's wasting 4 spaces for other apps in the folders.
I also cant hide them or freeze them as it removes both of the icons.
Any ideas how to remove the duplicates and just have them on the bar at the bottom?
Also can i set the home button to go to the app screen and not Blink or the other home screen?
No and no to your questions as far as I know. Two of the unwelcome new features and other me. Personally I created a "useless" the folder and throw all those additional icons in.
Thanks for confirming, shame i should have read all of the notes on the upgrade.

Do you even look at your phone, know how to use search, or Google? I doubt it.
By selecting the 'custom' appdrawer, you can select which icons you want to display and folders etc.
Now, both of you go away and give yourself a good talking to :silly:
I have to be honest I don't have to many friends but I think you may have missed the point of the question or your skim readings are rubbish.
I have the camera, messages, emails and phone icon on the bar at the bottom And in the normal app area. The custom feature is brilliant but when I hide the camera icon it hides both of the icons.
