Since withinwindows is down, does anyone have the bluetoothtileinstaller.zip for download?

Thanks!

Or you can pin it yourself to the Taskbar or your desktop.
C:\Program Files\Windows Mobility Center Tiles\DisplayOff\display-off.exe

YAY!! I wanted this for sooo long! I didn’t know other people were thinking the same thing. I’m really happy to have found this post. I installed the display off button and am now hoping he comes through with a manager, and maybe let us arrange the page ourselves, including layout, because with the 3rd party buttons separated like that, especially with that Headline “Customized by Various Third Parties”, it’s not very attractive at all. But at least there’s this!!! SOOO HAPPY!!! Thanks very much!

Why does every rave about Mobility Center? Thinkpads have had these features built into the keyboards for years. I currently have a T 60 and find it more cumbersome to use mobility center instead of the Fn key combo

The site that is linked (http://www.anti-tgtsoft.com) appears to be gone. Is there anywhere else that I can get the “Internal Display” tile?

Would it be possible for you to get your hands on the sample in question, esp. the MobilityCenter.lib and the IDL file. Trying to guess definitions from the PDF is hard, specifically for the dynamic tile sample. Have managed to load a dynamic tile and get the COM server loaded – but it makes the first call GetTileServer and then boom – falls back to static tile!

I think it is a bad definition issue. I am assuming that since you have access to the PDF, you may have access to the IDL too.

It will be nice to add an application launch function similar to turn-on wifi tile. I have a Verizon Broadband connectivity application that clearly belongs in the “Mobility” category, but can not be access from the Windows mobility center.

Wow, tht’s really useful. I can’t tell you how happy I am to be able to turn off my screen properly; Acer has a screen backlight toggle but this one actually shuts off the monitor, and with the standard “Vista fade”. Shame there aren’t too many more of these tiles over the internet; I’d love one for getting to the Acer HD Audio manager instead of having to go through the control panel, or even better to be able to access other equilisations than the four -_- Acer gives you in the eAudio Management TrayApp. Great work here peeps.
