I've been playing with the idea of removing the desktop and taskbar windows from WinCE and replacing them with nicer ones
Obviously this would take some time and if I manage to get anywhere with this project, I'll keep people updated in this thread. As of now I've just made a small tool to run through the list of each top-level window under Windows CE and list them
(by caption
).
I also added functionality to show/hide the windows if you know their caption. This is the first step in the overall project. Now we know the default top-level windows
Something useful was gotten from this test also; when you instruct the tool to begin window enumeration, it lists the windows. In this list is a window "Desktop" ... you can have 3 guesses which window this is
And if you see where I'm going with this: I wanted to see if I could hide it
(with the future intentions of replacing it
) ... and to my suprise it's that easy. Now all we need to do is figure out how to hide the taskbar too, and work can begin on fully functional replacements
I'll attach the tool
(sh-3 build
) for others to play with too.
