You need to use base64 for this and xml. I'm trying to finger it out now. (learning/googling) A quick call to the colonel may help as he uses the same method when defining binary data in his themes...
Example: the "Manilla Theme" in ppcgeek_oem.rar

Thanks for the pointer to the Manilla Theme provxml ...

So I presume that this entry

<parm name="FontSize" datatype="integer" value="4294967295" />

becomes as follows

<parm name="FontSize" value="/////w==" datatype="binary" />

... after converting the original HEX FFFFFFFF to Base64, using this:

Careful, though - I think it has a trojan in the installer ... Kapersky denied the trojan (or so it said =8^o ) and the app works perfectly.

Unfortunately, TodayAgenda doesn't appear to like the non-integer/hex registry entry.

EDIT: After correcting the parm name to FontSize ... it appears to have worked like a charm.

You want a different thread :)

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=11156

Code:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell]

  "ShowTitleBarClock"=dword:1

  

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\TaskBar]

  "LimitedClock"=dword:0

That one I don't have since there are many programs that add their own icon to the title bar. But...just a minute...

Here is a list of what this registry key will do:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\ShowTitleBarClock = 2

The values can be :
0 = Battery
1 = Clock (may cause dialer app to pop up)
2 = Nothing
3 = Both

From this Thread Post #19.

You can find more tweaks in the Vogue forum: Registry Tweaks/Hacks/Edits - Share them here! or in the Pocket PC Registry Tweaks Forum.

Re: Tutorial: Adding Registry Entries to your Rom (RGU Method)

sorry to let you know that 2 it does not work! I still can see the clock even when its set to value 2!

In QuickMenu you can remove the battery by:
Start Menu -> Quick Menu -> Option
Goto to the Tab "View" and uncheck "Show Battery on Taskbar".
