Yes, I noticed that this does fix that issue, and it allows the battery to be selectable (as I had mentioned in March):

However, if you have it this way then the volume dialog is off too far to the right in the programs menu:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...postcount=2986

The reason for that is that the battery icon does not appear in the non-Today screens, thus the volume control dialog moves to the right.

I had set ConsistentClockOrBattery = 1 to allow the battery to appear in the non-Today screens, thus fixing the volume dialog issue, but then the X-button issue appears...


So here's the dilemma:

1) Fix the X-button issue, and the volume control dialog is too far to the right when it's not in the home screen:

Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TaskBar]
"LimitedClock"=dword:1
"ConsistentClockOrBattery"=dword:0
2) Fix the volume control dialog issue, and the X-button issue appears (and battery icon is not selectable to launch Power settings):

Code:
 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TaskBar]
 "LimitedClock"=dword:1
 "ConsistentClockOrBattery"=dword:1
(Even though the battery icon is not selectable, you can use a custom battery icon w/ percentage so that you don't have to worry about launching the Power settings to see the battery power).




EDIT: Hmm. actually this seems to work, LOL:

Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TaskBar]
"LimitedClock"=dword:0
"ConsistentClockOrBattery"=dword:0
This shows the clock in the non-Today screen and allows the volume control dialog to be placed correctly.
