[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Joe Bleau:
ROM Feb.19 Tweak: State Indicators BattClock + Softkeybar

***

Edit: I attached my current BattClock settings to this post (BattClock.reg.txt 27-02-2011.rar):

The new BattClock version has a neat feature: you can change the background with your wallpaper or your current taskbar image for a clean look & make use of the empty space on the left side of NRG’s Taskbar layout to show useful status info.

One can export/import his custom BattClock settings with > Start > battconfig > About > Import or Export. Because of the hardware limitations of our phones mine shows what I consider essential & worth monitoring: CPU % usage, Free RAM Memory available for running programs and Current which is quite useful as you can see on the fly if dimming the backlight or closing some background processes reduces the power consumption & thus prolongs battery life. I also set a stripe to show WiFi signal strength

when it’s active

(disappears when turning WiFi off) but you can easily mod it or add 3 more stripes illustrating other stuff (BT, WiFi traffic, etc, etc.).

I attached to this message my custom BattClock.reg.txt. If you want to use it as a base setting that you can modify at will after importing it:

1-	Install BattClock OR export your current BattClock setting for backup.

2-	Copy BattClock.reg.txt to > Program Files\BattClock using Active Sync or Total Commander.

3-	> Start > battconfig > About > import.

4-	After tweaking to taste save your settings with > Start > battconfig > About > Export and copy it also to memory card to backup for the next time you flash a ROM.

Note that my txt file uses NRG’s default name for the Taskbar image: ClockBackImage = "\Windows\energy+taskbar2010.png" and if you changed the theme/Taskbar it will have another name like energy+taskbar09.png for example. You can edit the txt file with the correct path/filename before copying it to Program Files\BattClock.

Battconfig froze when trying to navigate to Windows to find the background I wanted so using Total Commander, I searched Windows for all png files containing the work taskbar & attached it to this message. You can copy those after unzipping to > My Documents\My Wallpapers to make it easier for Battconfig > Background. Or use the rar to find the exact name of the file to correct the path in the txt file. OR use your current wallpaper if you don't use any taskbar image.

If you installed Taskbar 3D Black JB.cab found in the Home Cleaning Toolbox, my BattClock.reg.txt works as illustrated above because that cab use the same NRG default file name for the Taskbar replacement.

If you have a cool custom BattClock setting, please export it & post it here for sharing & a screen capture to show how it looks. :cool: Check the BattClock thread to give you ideas about all the customizations that this fine app is capable of.

Softkeybar cab

I made a Softkeybar replacement cab (#3 in the image above) which is more discreet IMO than Softkeybar 3d Black JB.cab (#2 above) found in the Home Cleaning Toolbox post.

If you installed any cab modifying NRG’s default textured Softkeybar (#1 above) and would like to try the one attached to this message, uninstall it (> Home > Slider bar to Settings > Application > Remove Programs) and run this one from the memory card with Total Commander & restart the phone. Uninstall it to revert to NRG’s default Softkeybar.
