I'm trying to refit a custom skin I made for my Ipaq and use it for my MP900. I just have one problem. I do not want any of the optional buttons, meter or symbols on the taskbar, but prefer to use the native ones.

On an Ipaq or any other PDA, this is a simple matter of using the Wisbar configuration program to configure these buttons not to show.

Only problem is that the configuration program does not run on the HPC. So I need to find a way of manually deselecting or configuring the program not to display these items.

I have posted the same questions in the Wisbar forum and have sent an email to the programmer(s) to find a solution.

Seems if you do not have a PDA, they don’t give a leap about you.

Any ideas?

in your hpc, open a registry editor and go to
HKCU\Software\WIS\WIS Bar
you'll find 4 subkeys, named icon(0-3)

you can either change the string named "File" so that it will point to a bitmap that blends with your skin's background or change the binary "Display" to 0

about the batt meter and stuff, i do not know for sure, but play with the strings and binaries found in the parent key (WIS Bar)

Hope this helps

BTW - There IS a version of wisbar whose setup runs in an HPC, PM cmonex, she may help you.

Excellent. Thank you for the pointers and the PM contact. I guess when I’m done, I’ll post the skin on the forum if anyone is interested.

Cmonex’s program did the trick.

Over the years I have used Gigabar, Dashboard and WisBar/WB Advanced. I prefer Dashboard, but it does not operate on the HPC.

This is the first draft of the skin. I still have to work out some design glitches I see and check into disabling some un-needed features. Still, I don’t think it is all that bad considering the original skin is off my laptop.

I've also been busy getting some of my favorite desktop backgrounds into a usable format for my HPC. I've sent HPCFactor the ones I've done so far. More to come for sure.
