An app to get my icons on the bottom bar of the screen?

Is there an app which can get my icons (say from PocketPlus) on the bottom bar of the screen? I'm sure I've seen this before but can't recall where. Any help would be appreciated, as always. Cheers!

PHM Powertoys. But SPB PocketPlus... Why?

I'm sorry, DP, I don't understand. Are you saying that PocketPlus does this? I already have PocketPlus. Why the "why?"?

Also, is it just me or does iLauncher do what PocketPlus already does? ie. having iL when I already have PP would make iL redundant.

SPB PocketPlus is always on top unless you're using Wisbar Advance 2. Even without the X button there, hold down your stylus on the upper right-hand corner and you'll get a chance to change PocketPlus options.

Yeah, I've moved my PocketPlus icon "tray" to the bottom but it still sits above the bottom panel. It looks a little odd and was hoping to get something like PowerToys' launcher bar which parks the important icons on the lower right of the screen (ie on the bottom panel).

I need a screnshot Crayon. I think we're talking to cross purposes here. SPB PocketPlus works in the background, you can turn pieces on and off not open it like a game.

Yup, I was planning to do that but I just realised that as I moved to A03, I forgot to reinstall Resco Picture viewer etc which has my screen capture functions etc. I'll reinstall 'em later and when I do, I'll post them here.

In the meantime, thanks for your help DP!

Yeah, DP. It's a little tough at first but with some constant use and the great support/tips/suggestions from you guys here, it'll soon be a breeze, I'm sure :)

At keast a month, but if you don't use Search/Advance Search here you'll fall behind.

Let me explain: I'm a power consumer, just a guy you know? I care less about time management, I use the fun stuff. ;) I'll turn on Calendar as a Today Plug-in every now and then.

If you are talking about putting shortcuts on your bottom bar I believe iLauncher by SBSH allows you to do this. The following is copied from their web site:

Launch your software and documents from your Today screen!

Customize your Pocket PC the way you want it to look
Arrange shortcuts in tabs. Create up to 22 tabs, and up to 264 shortcuts!
Define tab colors and titles for each tab
Choose your preferred display method
Utilize shortcuts on your bottom tray bar including a memory/battery indicator!
Create shortcuts to any of the control panel applets

You can check it out at their web site at:

I hope this is what you meant.

Crayon, that what you want?

Not me! Bottom bar is tso 20th century. Like a step backwards for settings changes. I used to do that with Windows 95 on my PC's!

Crayon · 04-26-05, 03:00 AM

Yeah, I suppose that's it. As DP said, I think PHM Powertoys has it. This pic is from their website:

Notice the icons on the bottom panel. I suppose iLauncher does that too.

Can't decide between the 2. My problem is that iLauncher seems pretty much the same as SPH Pocket Plus, 'cept that PP doesn't have that option.

ilauncher is :approve:

Crayon · 04-26-05, 04:48 AM

But doesn't PocketPlus do what iLauncher does? I can have my icons displayed on screen in the same manner as iLauncher has them.
