disabling email/sms/missed-calls notification on menu bar

[egoist6]

hi,
does anybody know how to completely disable the notification for emails, sms and missed calls?
to be clearer: i do not mean the notification bubbles which can be disabled through settings. i mean the notification icons which appear on the menu bar.

any ideas? thanks

Do you mean the HTC Home icons?

i think what he means is the icons that shows up on the top bar along with the start icon, beside the connectivity icon..

here's a snap of it..

Ah yes, you are right!

I think that's the system feature and cannot be disabled.

if you have a look on some today screen replacements (e.g. todaylife) they can suppress the notification icon

mmh todaylife is a net application that sits over the todayscreen, so the notification are still there.

... but they are hidden, i guess? because the author has also rewritten/reskinned the complete top bar. so i can't imagine that the author would allow that notification-icons would popup as they wish.

ya I wish there was a way to get rid of those also :(

[tekknogenius]

I would imagine (not knowing the particulars), that you would need to hook into the notification message loop and disable from there.

this might be a workaround:

replace those notification icons with pure black icons.

i am not skilled enough to do that, as i think it is the same hazzle like you have when replacing the start-icon on the top bar...

But what about theme usage? On for example blue theme this would be a black square there ;)

[egoist6]

sure. that's why it is a workaround and might not be applicable to all users:cool:

but at least for black theme users like myself:p

[ramontrotman]
