Really incredible.. i used the older one, but after changing hardware and being too busy with other stuff, i totally forgot this awesome tool..

.....untill i finished 6 beers and a whisky today and got bored with my magician's standard stuff..

i'll give it a try on te wizard i have also, when i'm done testing the damn thing.. :)

thanks again man.. great work.. great tool.. 8) :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
nmx77 - thanks!

this version works well (perfectly?) on WM2003se QVGA. I think it might work on VGA, but it won't work perfectly on WM5 - I really badly need a WM2005 machine to develop on but no one's throwing one my way right now :)

As soon as I can get this checked on WM5, there are a couple of other new hacks on their way based on this technique. Coming soon :wink:

Tell me what it does, if anything, on WM5... I know it hides the top bar, but nothing on the bottom bar?

PS did you see my posts about magician brightness? I found a way to increase maximum brightness. Also coming soon as soon as I can make it stable.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nmx77:
V,

i'll give some feedback when i've tested it.. today i also received a qtek 9000,

also for testing some stuff, but on a lower level, i'm not a programmer.. (i wish i was..)

- what a boring job i have.. ;-) this picture i took from my desk@home:

if i can have it long enough in my possession i'll check what it does on that one too, eventhough its the same OS as the Wizard.

I took a look at the magician brightness post, looks interesting, but, i personally have the brightness at 30% or so, to save the powersource..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Flipside:
This is very cool :D but unfortunately I can't use it, I simply can't find the close-button with this running.....Is there any way you could increase the free space on top to app 4 pxl's or something ? That would allow for some skinning of the top-bar so we could actually see the start- and close-buttons... :wink: is this possible ? please... :P
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Flipside, I'll try to get around to it, but it would upset the phonealarm theme idea it was made to complement I think. You've only got 26 pixels to play with at the top of the screen, so 4 px for the start bar would leave 22 for PA.

How can you not find the close button? Is it not closing when you use the close button, or you just don't know where it is? It's exactly where it should be normally but 2 pixels high! (ie top right corner).

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xmonster:
What did you use to get rid of the softbar?

I use VJToggleToday. Run it with -config to set the bottom bar.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] veeru27:
I used Toggle New + Toggle Start.

Tried ToggleToday also , what happens is that at initially all is well, but after I access any programs and return to the start screen the SIP panel stays on.

As for the command line, I ran it with -config,

" \Program Files\Vijay555\ToggleToday.exe -config " - ( Is this correct ?)

but no resposnt. May be it has something to do with the plugin(PocketAge).Anyway, just to be sure, can u please confirm if the command line I gave is correct.

Thanks for help and patience.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] itesla:
Been using wm5 toggletodayiialpha for a few weeks now running great.

Anyone know of a way to show/popup the volume panel? I think the only way to access it is via the regular top bar (which is hidden by toggle today)? Can toggletoday take command line options so I can call it with -top 4 and -bottom 4 then -top 26 -bottom 26 when I need to see the icons?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] veeru27:
Direct Access to Volume Panel

Look this up.

Copy this prog to ur ppc, make a shortcut to a button or an icon, and access volume panel directly.Hope this helps
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xmonster:
i am using vjtoggletodayiialpha.exe -config

Also experience the same problem like you when i totally removed the bottom

bar. However, when i set it to 1. Its ok.

Anyway, that's for me... not sure about yours.......
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] veeru27:
Thanks,

vjtoggletodaydailyalpha.exe, is for WM5, am still on wm2003SE(shock).That could be the issue.Anyways, I am going to use, ToggleStart to get rid of the Startmenubar and Dcinobar to get rid of the system tray, although using DciNobBar had issues with d-pad navigation in landscape mode. (cry).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
use small app from wisbar(just extract cab, or install wisbar to get wisvol.exe).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
use this:

http://rapidshare.com/files/44866723/WisVol.exe.html

(sry for doubled)

i am looking forward to new release, i NEED this app badly.

btw , guys, it is working VERY fine with WAD on wm06 (wisbar desktop advance -standalone version - no WA2!), trick is to enable "show todaybar" with toggletoday launched.

tray will be visible without softkeybar. If used on startup, tray wont be visible until screen is rotated.then it is ok.

i love your soft, Vijay555, it so rare to find GUI overrides...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zarxic:
Consider this a complaint! ;)

I really need this app, since I run a Treo. 240x240 is killing me, I need those extra 26px on my today screen. If you need me to test some things for you, I'll be sure glad to help.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] carlosp_uk:

Thanks SO much for these apps, in particular TodayToggleAlpha2 seems to work fine on WM6 Professional (HTC Touch) - in fact I have just written a guide for owners pointing them in this direction:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] flyhigh:
why i dont have tray icons... ? even when i have trayvisible = 1 or 0...

and batterystatus can't run with after SR. its not checked in today options. before SR it was.

after SR, when system starts i see that tray tryes to launch, but immediately disappears.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Slooop:
yeah Veej, any chance u can satiate us with a simple updated version and then release the big momma when she's ready?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] flyhigh:
i think may tray disappears because battery status is launching first after SR,with tray, then VJToggleToday is launching and the tray is gone.

any idea to change order of launching applications in a start of system?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 510jungleboy:
I us the app by VJ, the toggle alpha II. I was wondering if there is a way to make the start bar stay invisible even when you slide out the keyboard. Anyone ?? It works fine , but when i slide the keyboard, the start bar appears again. THanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Techvir:
vj we would love to see your updated program.. its so surprisin that none of the other programers have never worked on this useful set fo programs.....

Thank you for your effort and time and i know how little time a lawyer has
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
i have VERY important request(but i am not sure, if it is possible)

taskbar can be sized too; but programs windows arent moved up to taksbar leaving ugly frag of today there...now:

-is it possible to autosize programs window?

-is it possible to dock programs window to taskbar automatically

- is it possible to move text and pictograms vertically( i.e. taskbar to 18 px, and all things like text, pictograms in middle of these 18 pxs, not cut like now?

although today space visible may be useful(if there's visible BS for example :D ), stretching program windows could be awesome..though.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
It's all possible, but you have to understand why I've never released a version that would do that. I've written apps that will allow you to entirely reconfigure the useable screenspace (ie not just the today screen),

eg, an old screenshot of a full screen version of the Calendar app

However: the PPC is (or at least was) defined to use a vertical QVGA 240x320 screen space. The apps are typically written to fill a space 26 pixels down from the top (to allow the Start bar, the bar at the top), and typically stop 26 pixels from the bottom, to allow for softkeys/menu bars.

Now, of course I can move/remove the Start bar, and allow the app to fill the space, and possibly even the bottom of the screen (if you don't mind losing your visible softkeys), but the problem is the app: many coders will assume the dimensions of the screen are standard (QVGA/VGA landscape or portrait, or Square screen), and will make the app fill the screen accordingly.

However, if you start giving the app weird screen sizes, it might do something unexpected, like drawing all weird. However, this happens depending on the app, not my hack.

So, it is possible, but can give unreliable results, so I didn't release such an app.

VJToggleToday was a specific hack just for the Today screen, to be used in conjunction with my PhoneAlarm skin, which would replace the Start bar in all apps, not just the Today screen. So as you say, it IS supposed to show visible BS, but specifically a today plugin that is supposed to fill that space, usefully:

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
yup, i am aware of this stretch issue(i like having BS inside that free space, though :) ...

what about text and pictograms moving? is it possible at all?

i can live with 16-18 px taskbar, but i do not like cut icons there, you know..

thanks for reply, good to see you there :) i love your soft.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Yeah, that's perfectly possible I think. Good idea.

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BigDede:
Actually for me it's even worse, it's hiding the system tray (the bar just above the softkeys bar) where we can add shortcuts icons and keep the softkeys bar enabled..

Im disappointed but thks for vijay555 for all the efforts
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
erm... sorry did you try to ROTATE screen to regain these icons....

..?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BigDede:
yep rotating screen does not fix that, still system tray is hiding and softkeys tray dispkayed
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jmodica1:
with the wm5 alpha version installed i am experiencing a problem after receiving a call. It seems as though the soft keys that appear when there is an incoming call (answer on the left, menu on the right) are getting 'stuck' after i hang up the call. Somehow an incoming call is ridding vjtoggletoday of its powers and revealing this bottom bar again.

Additionally, after the call hangs up, if i tap the revealed 'menu' softkey it actually gives me the option to 'ignore' or 'ignore with text message'.

I'm just curious if this is something i can adjust or if it is a known issue that is potentially being worked on.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
jmodica1 sounds like you're using a Treo, or at least this was a known issue on the treo.

What I suspect is that the Treo creates softkeys "behind" the Today softkeys, which would not normally be seen until a call comes in. Because I hide the softkeys on the Today screen, it makes the Phone Softkeys visible behind...

This is not an issue I'm working on "actively" as I don't have a Treo, but I have started developing this app again, so I'll see what I can do...

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jmodica1:
hey thanks for the quick response. and yes i am using a treo. if you could keep this in mind during development that'd be great :). thanks vijay
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cincy1020:
I am having the exact same problem on my Treo 750. And to think this program was a lifesaver, because it made me able to use HTC plugin :( HTC is too big to fit my screen and still use dialer on today screen, so by removing bottom bar it freed up the space I needed.

I really look forward to new releases, where this problem may be fixed.

Thanks for writing such an amazing program, even though I can't use it LOL
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Can anyone confirm this working on the HTC Mogul?

I install it but weird things happen...

VJToggleTodayII is only supposed to affect the today screen correct?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jmodica1:
cincy1020: have you tried using MemMaid to disable the 'active call' today plugin? this isnt visible in the normal today plugin dialogue (which is why you need something like memmaid to reveal it).

i believe this solves the problem I, and you, are talking about. however, it may just create some new ones (e.g. no voicemail notification...)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stanip:
You might want to upgrade it to WM6. The problem does not totally go away but it improves. After I switch to other program and then switch it back to "today", the full screen comes back.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cincy1020:
Hi:

Thanks for the advice. I actually ended up uninstalling HTC home, and customizer, it just ended up being more of a headache than it was worth for me. My phone started making crackling noises, and locking up severely, so I freaked out and removed everything I had added recently LOL

Thanks anyway for the suggestion :)

When I run the toggler I get an error saying "Couldn`t find the softkeys"

Hiding System Tray

I tried VJ Today II on my WM6 HTC, softkey button is hide without problem. but still the system tray cannot be get rid of.

anyone know the ways the solve this problem. thanks first
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MForde:
ToggleToday, WM 2003, and Toshiba E800

Hi,

vijay555, I just found and installed your excellent TT app. Thanks! This fulfills a longheld desire to hide those screen-eating Today bars.

The app works, but I have a problem. I cannot figure out how to use the -config command to adjust the app parameters. I tried unsuccessfully to issue that command via ShortcutCreator, another great program on this portal. Minus the command, my shortcut and the app both work.

Parameter adjustment is required due to the 4" screen: the default code completely misses the bottom bar. Any ideas on another workable approach to correctly pass the -config command to the app?

Peace.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 78Staff:
This worked for me in a round about way...I also had the "dead space" and it was driving me nuts. So I dl'd the latest 1.0.5 and also placed it in startup as suggested, but still had the dead space - although now with a distinct line separating it from the rest of the today screen.

I run Pocket Plus and have Diary as one of the tabs - when using Diary as a tab you have to turn off "auto-height" and set it manually. I had the manual setting at something like 140...this is where the line was positioned, and it affected all tabs, not just diary. So I upped the setting to 200 and viola it fills the entire screen...no more dead space. Yaayy :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Dick Starbuck:
I am not sure how much vijay checks this thread but I have a question/feature request for his toggle program. I am running ATTWM6 on a 8525(hermes/tytn) and I have been using the toggletodayiialpha and I am loving it, but some apps really need the startbar(they look weird with just a blank bar at the top) and I have to open the keyboard (make the device redraw the screen) in order to get my startbar back(this is not a huge issue as I just run toggle.exe when i am done). I love the way the softkeys popup within programs and just wondered if it was possible to do this with the startbar, i.e. no startbar or softkeys for the today screen but once I go into some other program they show up and then disappear again when I go back to the today screen. I know that this program is not intended for WM6 and that is probably why most programs don't fill the screen but I still love the way it makes my today screen look.

Thanks again vijay and all of xda

I'm also running into 'Couldn't find the SoftKeys' problem that was mentioned earlier.

Has anyone tried this with Ultimate Launch? It works fine for hiding the softkeys but it will not fill the screen with the Ultimate Launch plugin. It gives scroll bars when I try and resize it down into the softkey area. I am using the vjtoggletodayiialpha.exe executable.

Has anyone figured out what the "TrayVisible" registry key controls?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] oyegaurav83:
i use both.. and it doesnt give any such problems.. try different today size of UL. mine was 189..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rifraf1:
It is working now, had to do with the start up order and some screen refreshing. Thanks for the reply. I am using ulitimate launch as the main plugin and it covers the whole screen pretty much at a size of 292 with the top bar still visible. Sure is a whole lot more real estate than I was used to, great app.

not that I know of... it is either all or nothing... You may want ot change your today screen to something with a better layout. I use HTC home or MobileShell 2.0 and it looks fine... All you see is the batter and AT&T icons in Mobile shell or the AT&T and date in case of HTC Home.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
That's because you have tray launch. It might be amplified by the fact that the image is also repeating at that point.
