x51v - lost my clock toolbar off today screen

[t2tedf]

Switched on this morning and my toolbar that has the clock in on the today screen has been covered up. If I press into that corner the conectivity and or volume control comes up so it is still there just covered - can anybody advise me please

Have you tried a soft reset?

What software are you running that affects the top bar (Wisbar, Icbar, vBar, ...)?

[t2tedf]

not running anything extra any ideas?

[player911]

Sounds like you had Wisbar or something installed. With programs like those you can add or remove lots of features from the top bar, including the clock. So perhaps you tweaked something before an uninstall and it didn't revert to default settings.

I think possibly installing one of those programs and setting the clock back on the bar, then uninstalling that program would possibly work. I don't see this as a big deal.

I've got the same problem here on my X51v/A12. When the PDA is on the dock, the Today screen displays a "connection" icon but no clock. Off the dock, it displays a battery indicator instead of a clock. I want my clock back! Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

A12 seems to have moved the clock to the date and time part of my today screen however when you go to another application the clock is in the time bar if you selected that option

You can do this to get the clock back:

What you need is a DWORD value called ShowTitleBarClock that is set to 1. The value needs to be placed in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell. After adding the value and flushing the registry (usually the safest way to do that is to hit the power button to suspend the device, wait a few seconds, and then hit it again to wake it back up) reset the device.

To change the display of the clock in the taskbar:

The clock in the taskbar can be changed to show not only the time, but also the date, or just the date, or nothing at all.
To show nothing:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 0 (DWORD decimal)
To show just the clock:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 1 (DWORD decimal)
To show just the date:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 2 (DWORD decimal)
To show both the date and the clock:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 3 (DWORD decimal)

If something (like a close button) overlaps with your date, you can change the short date format to add a few (1 should be enough) spaces at the end:

HKLM\nls\overrides\SSDte = "FORMAT " (REG_SZ string, no quotes)

For more information on date/time formatting strings, see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ateformats.asp

All applications using the short date format will be affected by this change.

A soft reset is needed after each registry change.

I did all this and it worked on my Axim x51v with A12.

Hope it helps.

Hi,

you could try this thread also; I changed mine this way some time ago:

Mad_Scientist, I have the truncated year problem after installing DogFood's tweak and adding the ShowTitleBarClock key. I can't find SSDte in my registry, even doing a Find. Any suggestions?

EDIT: BTW, I think you meant...

To show both the date and the clock:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 3 (DWORD decimal)

...in your post.

[mad_scientist]

larrysabo, you are right. I meant 3, not 1.

As for the SSDte entry I think that I also didn't have it. You just have to create the entry yourself, in the location that I specified, of type REG_SZ. I used the value "d MMM " (without the quotes) for the format.

[larrysabo]

I don't see a REG_SZ choice in New, in Resco RegEdit? I'll trty again.
