Settings that bug me when re-building my iPAQ

When re-building my iPAQ from scratch and re-installing everything, there are some settings in a couple of applications which really annoy. Sometimes it's because the setting is annoying, and sometimes it's because I can't remember how to change it (these are the ones that drive me really nuts)!

I decided that I should write these things down so that I can look them up next time I re-build! Also, I figured that the information might be helpful to others as well.

Removing that annoying Battery Pack Pro power bar that appears in the top bar of the Today screen and interferes with Wisbar Advance

1. Go to the Battery Bar Today screen settings (Start menu --> Settings --> Personal --> Today --> Items tab --> Battery Bar --> select Battery Bar and click the Options button)
2. Go to the Power tab.
3. De-select 'Show Battery Meter'. Do the same for the Memory meter if it is bothering you as well. Upon installing Battery Pack Pro, I find that it's only the Battery Meter which automatically displays itself, so you probably won't need to turn the Memory meter off.
   
4. Click the OK button until you get back to the Today screen.
   

Removing the annoying 'OK' button that appears in the top bar of the Today screen and interferes with Wisbar Advance

The only reason I install Battery Pack Pro is for the Program Bar. I'm not interested in the rest of the features and it drive me nuts when I can't get them to go away!

1. The key here is to install the 'Power Adjust' option (even if you don't want it) as well as the option which includes the Program Bar.
2. Go to the Battery Pack Pro settings (Start menu --> Programs --> Battery Pack Pro)
3. Go to the Power Adjust section, de-select 'Power Task button & menu' and click the Update button. You will get a message that you need to soft reset for the changes to take effect.
   
4. Soft reset.
   

Changing the number of cities displayed on the Today screen with CityTime

1. Go to the CityTime Today settings (Start menu --> Settings --> Personal --> Today --> Items tab --> select CityTime and click the Options button). Note that the CityTime Today settings are different to the regular CityTime settings that you access from within CityTime. I sometimes forget this, which leads me to go nuts looking for the particular option in the regular CityTime settings and not finding it!
2. Select the number of cities you wish to display.
3. Click OK until you get back to the Today screen.
   

Changing the Wisbar Advance clock to display the Australian date format

1. Go to the Wisbar Advance settings (Start menu --> Programs --> WisbarAdvance folder --> Wisbar Advance settings).
2. Expand the 'My theme' list and select Clock Settings.
3. Change the date format from 'M/d/yy' to 'd/M/yy'.
4. Click the OK button until you get back to the Today screen.
