Hi all,

I'm currently using the old version of WM6.5 - the version before they move X button down - located next to the soft key.
I want to change to the newest version but I've got the problem that HS++ taskbar indicator, which is norrmally showing CPU utilization and located under the clock in top bar, is missing due to the top bar space is contracted.

Does any know how to get the taskbar indicator in the new version of WM6.5?
I really need to see my CPU utilization on the screen all of the time.

Thank you.

There are hidden reg settings in HKLM -> Software -> Microsoft -> Today -> Items -> Homescreen++ where you set the X and Y coordinates for the taskbar indicator.

I had to dig in the HomeScreen++ threads here or on www.chi-tai.info to find it. I just reflashed my device and don't remember where I found the keys so I can't really help you out much now. But it can be done. Only problem I had was where to position it with the new WM6.5 builds. There is very little height on top and I can't position it below the clock like I normally would. I had to float it above the data and reception icons.

When I find the keys again I'll post them in here.

From this page: http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_batterystatus_xda_neo_wm5_ext_im_cs.htm

The TaskBar-Indicator can be activated (and deactivated) by means of the contextmenu.
You can customize the position / font / color and background-painting-method by creating one or more of the following registry-values under HomeScreen PlusPlus-Key:

HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Today\\Items\\HomeScree n PlusPlus

TaskBarLeft
DWORD
Distance in pixel from left -> LeftAlign of reading

TaskBarRight
DWORD
Distance in pixel from/to right -> RightAlign of reading

TaskBarTop
DWORD
Top position of the indicator

TaskBarFont
DWORD
Means increase fontsize by 2 points

TaskBarFontColor
DWORD
Color of Taskbar-Reading ( 0x00bbggrr )

TaskBarBattery
DWORD
0 = Show CpuSpeed, 1 = Show Remaining Battery

I'm flashing the new rom.. will see whether it's working for WM6.5 tiny top bar or not.
