Help Adding widgets to drop down bar

[fenge]

Hi All

I used to have a Galaxy s and had my GPS, Bluetooth, Silent and Wi-Fi widgets appear on the top of the notification drop-down bar on the home screen. It made switching those things on and off really easy. I'm trying to set up my new Desire in the same way but am having no luck. I've found the HTC widgets on the phone and have put them on my home screen but cannot work out how to add them to the drop down bar. Can anyone help?

You can't do this with stock Andoid / Sense. Maybe LauncherPro or something will allow you to do this with the stander widgets but...

Are a couple. Can't see a GPS one, but maybe if you mail the dev they will do one. Although, I think Android 2.2 disabled the ability of apps to En/Disable GPS, which this toggle would require. I just leave GPS enabled 24/7 it is only actually turned on when required, and I can use 'GPS My Droid' should I lose it.

Thanks SiHa. After further searching I found that if I long-touched on a blank space on my home screen and then selected 'widgets' I could scroll down the list to 'power control'. I then clicked on 'power control' and
got a very stylish bar on my homescreen with buttons for GPS, BT, Wi Fi, & silent.

Yes, that is, indeed very useful. I stopped using it though because it takes up a lot of valuable screen real estate.
Multi-Icon is a useful app that lets you put up to four icons in the space of a standard icon. You can't use it with widgets, but it does have built-in widgets for all of these except GPS. As I've already mentioned, toggling GPS on/off is pointless anyway.
