Many a time people look at a screenshot of an app and ask where did u get that taskbar icons from ? Well its the work of tsowen from xda-developer. There are tonnes of different taskbar to choose from. Just take a look at the screenshot , the first one is the plain old boring icons the other 2 are the tsowen version of the taskbar. It replaces all the icons like active-sync, volume, battery, etc..
Are you bored of the Windows Mobile taskbar , is it taking up too much of the today screen real estate, here is a cool new theme which replaces the taskbar.
btIO – a Bluetooth Mode Switcher accessible from the taskbar
It runs on on Pocket PC 2003 or higher and Windows Mobile 5 and 6 based PocketPCs with the Microsoft Bluetooth Stack.
There are three icons:
Green BT-Icon = Bluetooth is enabled and in discoverable mode
White BT-Icon = Bluetooth is enabled and in connectable (invisible) mode
Red BT-Icon = Bluetooth is disabled
You can switch between connectable and disabled by simply pressing the icon in the tray bar. When you tap’n'hold the icon a menu apears that lets you set the mode you like, and lets you exit the program.
