Battery icon in tray

---

I found a reg tweak to get a simple battery icon in my tray. Worked just fine. I did a hard reset and can't find the tweak now. I've searched for the past 30 minutes and found a bunch of crap related to 3rd party apps and the time and date in the tray. I found:

HKLM\Services\Power\ShowIcon

and set that to 1 and did a soft reset and it didn't work. So, how the hell do I get the icon to show up? Right now, I have 2 icons for connection (E for EDGE and signal strength), volume, and the time, and I want all those, plus the battery icon. Thanks

I think you're confusing the tray (on the BOTTOM of the Today screen) with the Task Bar.

Edit: Changed "Title Bar" to "Task Bar" to be consistent with what the OS calls it.

Yeah, title bar's what I meant. Still can't get that damn icon to show

Hi,

I can't help you, but I'm interested in the tweak you made first. Could you tell me how you got your battery icon to the title bar?
Thanks.

I don't think he will be able to tell you that because its not working for him. The whole reason he posted was that the battery icon was not displaying in the title bar.

I think it worked...

Use the WM VI Batti program. One of it's functions gives you a simple battery icon in the title bar. You can view the thread HERE.

Or to make your life a little easier, you can download the .cab file HERE.

Great program, I absolutely love it.

In the Task Bar

Ok, so how do you remove the battery icon from the task bar? Somehow something I installed or changed put it there but I have no idea how to undo it since it's never shown up or done that before.

Haven't figured that one out yet. I never liked the system tray on the bottom, so I removed it altogether with a simple reg tweak. Navigate to...

HKLM\init\

There you will find several keys, but the one you want is Launch92. This contains the location of where Windows will look for the tray app. I just modified the registry from "TrayAp.Exe" to "oldTrayAp.exe" Prevents the app from starting up altogether. You can then use BatteryStatus to create its own system tray and from there, you can add all your own icons (including a battery icon). I believe the battery program is powerexe.exe in the Windows directory.

Try this:

Find the following:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell

Search for the key ShowTitleBarClock and change the value to 0.
If the ShowTitleBarClock does not exist, create a new DWORD and put value (in decimal) as 0.

Hope it works for you as it did for me.
