Missing Taskbar Battery Indicator *SCREEN*

w0rdie · #1 (**permalink**) 10-26-2007, 09:37 AM

All I need is to get the battery indicator shown about to display... when I loaded WM6 it disappeared and I'd really like to get it back.

(Not my setup, just grabbed a screen from Google to clarify which indicator I was referencing)

Better indicator is LVMTopBat. Freeware battery indicator that sits above the taskbar and has a graduated scale. If you are using a kitchen for WM6 then LVMTopBar from previous WM5 ROMs is a known working OEM package that you can just drag into the ROM folder and install as an option when building the OS. Otherwise google for it and install it as you would any other software.

That is a Nice battery monitor! Thanks. Now the question how do I get rid of the old battery monitor.

Sad to say that this question is the reason that I joined up instead of lurking like I have for the last 6 or so months. YEAH ME!~

I don't like the TopBat style. I want the default one.

If I am not mistaken \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\Power\ShowIcon on your ppc is set to 0 change it to 1 and that should turn it on. Or download PPC-6700 HACKS And pn the first page there is the Power Icon option for on and off. Least I think that is what does it. Still goggle'n...

As far as i know its there in Hemli's wm6 rom.

It looks like the stock battery meter but it is allot more accurate.

The file does overwrite a file on the ppc thats holds other images for example the recent call arrows. But i have a custom dll of this program i made that keep all the original dll data and this new one. Basically merged both dlls together.

just open regeditor and navigate to

HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Shell

in there create a new dword:

ShowTitleBarClock

set its value to 0 (zero)

soft reset
