Caps/Sym Lock, Bluetooth and screen rotate icons

[Guest Phil Lee]

I briefly (for about 1 hour) had an MDA Compact. On the Today screen that had a Bluetooth and screen rotate icons on the bottom tray. On my Vario I have the battery and comms icons there. Is it possible to display a bluetooth and rotate icon there through some form of registry hack or is it something that was removed from WM5?

Also could someone post the registry key to enable the Caps/Sym lock icons for the keyboard?

Caps/Sym icon for keyboard

After creating the registry entry called EnableIndicator at \HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd and assigning the DWORD value of 1 to it , then soft-resetting my device, an indicator appeared next to the keyboard icon on the bottom of the screen! Tapping the Shift key showed a "C" while tapping the Dot key showed a dot! Very cool!

Thanks that works great.

Can either of you guys recommend a registry editor for WM5?

I'm using PHM RegEdit which I got by downloading programs.zip from http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/showthread....8136#post388136

Nice ... just added the reg entry and it works a treat!

So, onto the screen rotate icon. Anyone know how to add that to the 'taskbar'? There are many times when I would like to rotate the screen but do not wish to slide out the keyboard.

Sweet. Thanks! Can't believe this isn't on by default!

Would definately like to have a bluetooth icon on screen as well. My Jabra BTv250 keeps sending a voice activation signal everytime I switch it on, so I'd rather start with Bluetooth switched off on the device, rather than rushing to get it out of my pocket and cancel the voice activation.

Did anyone ever get the Bluetooth and/or Screen toggle icons to appear on screen ???

blue light on the right of the two status lights tells you when bluetooth is on.

the screen rotate has to be done through the settings/screen pannel. I wish there was a way to keep it on landscape, it wouldbe much better
