FInixNOver, is it possible to have the battery always show on the task bar, in every program, like the time?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] tsowen:
Updated both version's of the task bar's with a new email icon since there wasn't one.

And fixed the Window's Vista Orb

You can find the task bar's here along with the version history of each. Also there is a folder that contains all the dll's for both bar's as well

As for the signal bar's for you GSM people I have asked 12aon to help me out since I am not GSM.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] tsowen:
Here you go cab and files

Next project is to change the active sync icon's so they swirl like it does on your desktop

Hey guys, just got back from hanging with a friend who just got back from a semester abroad in China and have been out of the loop on the forum. First, great job on Crazy's Taskbar, Tsowen. Really looks nice. After looking at Tsowns cab's setup.xml I've figured out how to make a cab that works and have tested it on my phone and works great!

Mind you it's for CDMA. Don't forget to download SDKCerts.cab first.

So hear ya go...

PS: Thanks to sunnyboymarcel and Tsowen

PPS: Going to make one with HTCLeener's signal bars cause they look awsome after tweeking the battery icons some more.

Hi, thanks so much for this info, i have edited my own 590ad244_manila, and it worked perfectly i now have a completely blank screen!!

I bow to your brilliance!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] 4D3:
Not very helpful, the search function on this forum is ****, as a user who regularly searches yourself i guess you would know that!! (but then i guess you yourself done use it by the very fact you suggest someone use it!!)

Secondly, if the poor guy doesnt know the exact file name, which he doesnt, how exactly is he going to search?

as you can see from his quote, he has quoted henbone11 who happened to show a picture quoted from someone else, so even if he searched henbone11 he still wouldnt get an answer since this bar was created MONTHS ago by massi959

If your going to answer with a smart answer, make sure you have reason too, he asked a perfectly valid question.

In answer to your question, the cab you want is called "Colored Top Bar" and it has two flavours for GSM:

Colored Top Bar WWE ST.cab

Colored Top Bar WWE Call.cab

the "Call" version also changes the icons in the call history, if you have problems with them (which i dont htink you will) use the "ST" version

Hope That helps

is it possible to just provide me with the .dll file for just the battery icon? Or at least tell me which one to drop into my windows directory?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Im_Gumby:
Personally, I loved the speaker icon, but the two little blue squiggles to denote vibration were not enough of a visual clue for my tastes.

So I edited the icon used for silent mode and replaced the red circle with a gray one and changed the X to a V (for vibrate)

Not the most elegant of artwork, but works well enough to share.

Rename current .dll to .dll.o and remove the ".n" from the attached file once it's extracted and in the /windows folder.

EDIT : NEVERMIND AFTER 2 RESETS IT STARTED WORKING CORRECLTY damn i feel dumb.... but anyways can anyone make a cab out of the files so i dont have to manual copy it to windows directly after every hard reset?

I've been searching for a very long time for an icon set that i like but came to the conclusion that i'll never quite find a set where im happy with all the icons so i decided to combine different set together.

So far my favorite set is tsowentaskbar3V1.3

but i find the battery icon a bit hard to see so i was hoping to combine it with Massi's Battery

and the vista orb

I used Res Hacker to replace all 100 battery icons (slowly 1 by 1 like a noob) and the vista orb in the DLL files but can't seem to get them to work...

The vista orb shows up fine but the battery icon completely disapears after replacing the dll and reset. I remembered to unsign and sign it but no luck.

Also i couldn't find a way to make a cab out of the files

Anyways can anyone help me make this work?

I'm attaching all the files that i used
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Kraize:
Do we have to say yes? ;) of course we want you to finish. and a request from me :P Stop taking requests from people. Release your icons first, then your cab with all your original icons, then take requests if you want. I mean it's easier for you and you won't be hassled by trying to make EVERYONE happy :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] zmob123:
Yes finsish it up, it would be awsome if someone can find where the signal bar images are for GSM so that we can use the full extent of the icons
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] 4D3:

Disables my SSMaPA patch for Calandar Button?

Just a quick question. I was using SSMaPa's app to re-assign my calendar on the today screen in Touch Flo to my PI program, but once I installed the FInixNOverBatteryIconsOnly.cab, it stopped working. Anyone have any similar problems, and might know of a solution? Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] c0de_junkie:
maybe but if i dont un-install it then it will just stay like that for as long as i leave it like that even after a soft reset and it happens with mighty rom 4.1 and it happened when i was running a stock telus rom ??!!???!!!!???!?!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] clampi:
go into communications and turn off Data Connectivity

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] deeznuts:
I agree! Is there sms/mms/email, etc icons as well or only these few displayed? Hope it can work perfectly on my att fuze when its finished. Very nice 3d look, will be interesting to see how that battery icon will work though as the battery goes down and charging. Would be way cool if it could be a fluid and smooth drain, not sure if thats possible on our phones but i know anything is possible on this forum!

ICONS for TSOWEN

I AM POSTED THE ICONS IN A ZIP FILE IN THE THREAD.

THE BATTERY AS WELL AS SPEAKER ICONS WERE DISPROPORTIONATE IN YOUR TSOWENTASKBAR 4 v1.5.

so am sending you battery icons as well as volume icons in right proportion. just change these two things and your taskbar'll be perfect. and let me know when you change it.

below is a short example of whats in the zip file.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Shetlander:
I have edited the file in notepad as per above but how do I save it back as a Manilla file? It just saves it as a TXT file.

(maybe a stupid question)

Just to let other people know. This is on a touch HD and works fine.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] OOkladek:
You don't, Option 1 refers to a set of communication icons HTCLeener have made, with the tsowentaskbar5v1.4 cab you get the "option 1" when you install that cab.

Refer to this page: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=437307&page=159

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] 4D3:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] 4D3:
thanks for the info, but does anyone have these icons in a GSM dll?

Please, please please someone!! :confused::o;):rolleyes:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] OOkladek:
Well as Tsowen sayd his cabs are both for CDMA and GSM (I'm using GSM) I have installed the 5.1.3 and evreything work great (fixed the orb problem that is in this version myself).

Refer to this page: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=437307&page=161

Post number #1605

You can find the dll's there I bet they work for the GSM since the cab version of it works for the GSM.

P.S.

I bet that the DLL's that are located at the link that Belsj gave you will work on GSM aswell (Talking about this link: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=624756&postcount=550 )
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Shetlander:
Im trying to use the standard windows notepad. Is that OK?

Also, when I try extracting Manilla from the zip it asks for a password? Is that right, if so what is it?

I only want to add Phone and Programs so they appear at the bottom as normal.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] 4D3:
nah, when he says that they work for both gsm and cdma, what he means is that gsm get the flat,2d icons, and the cdma users get the nice 3D icons, i currently have taskbar5v1.4 installed and i have no 3d bars.

although in 1.4 the squashed orb is gone, i hate the orb and i cant seem to swap out the shellres.192.dll to the HTC version he supplies in the ppcgeeks link, Total Commander talls me that the file cannot be copied into the location (i.e. windows) and resco explorer (waste of time!!) cant even see the file!!!

also, HTCLeener has made the 3D icons HERE for CDMA and released them, but they are not in any GSM DLL as of yet, i would put the icons in myself, but the onlt thing i do not know how to do is actually using the unsigner and resigner!

i am fully capable with restorator from hacking vista dll's but these dont have a digital signature to contend with, also i have WinCE CAB Manager 3 (woot!!!) and i can create the cabs.

If some one can fill me in on how to use these two things i will get cracking!! (got nothing else to do!! graduated Uni with a Double First Class and cant get a job, so i may as well do this!! lol :D:D )
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] 4D3:
first what zip are you talking about? (or do you mean the zip from tsowen's post - if you mean that, there is no password!!)

also, im not sure about adding stuff, as i wanted a completely clean home screen!

it has not been done before and i dont know why, for so long i asked about this but no-one listened, and thankfully tsowen gave me the last piece of the puzzle

I just dont understand why people would want crap all over the home screen, i mean for eg huge flip & analogue clocks, i wear a breitling, why would i look @ my phone for time? :D

check out my screen, if anyone interested in my theme it is a custom theme compiled from various pieces and i have not released it, if anyone wants it just ask :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] OOkladek:
Okay first thing for the org, before you copy the new file rename the original that is in the windows dir to something like shellres.192.dll.bak and then copy the new one to the windows dir (thats what I did in order the fix the orb) it should work using total commander. let me know if works for you! (BTW I just love this orb dont know why anyone will change it :) )

As for the com icons I bealive you are mistaken as Tsowen sayd he used option 1 in his cabs and in that option the single icons are 2d both to the GSM and the CDMA only diffrance betwin the two is that the GMS version got 4 bars and the CDMA got 6 bars not sure why you think that CDMA get the 3d version since that version is only in option 2 of HTCLeener icons packs.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Shetlander:
I want to add Phone & Programs like you have New & Comm Mngr at the bottom. According to the original post it is just a case of reinserting the words between <source> and <source/>.

Im at work on a works machine so it might have issues with the file. Ill try and play around with it tonight at home.

@MysticGenius - Im liking your Icons. Any chance you can point me towards them or are they of your own doing (not taskbar but Home, people etc).

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Mr. Makk:
well they look good for sure but i dont think there beauty could be distinguished when they'll be shrunk into 32x32 icons. wont make much of a difference i guess. anyways thats my opinion.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] tsowen:
Still comes out pretty clean. Start Icon has to be 41x36 for VGA

This one is for you to test Sunny, it has the above start icon in it and replaced speaker icon's, also added fixed the Wifi so the grey pole doesn't show and changed the multi-notification so its not the same icon as the text message. Didn't add the battery in it until the font can be changed since its hard to read.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Icefeldt:
Hey tsowen.

thx for ur awesome work.

but i have a slight problem.

when i start up my phone i get that blue "G" icon of yours, but after some time, it switches to this "outgreyed G in a box".

originally it was a "white box with a G" and then switched to that "outgreyed G in a box".

so u missed to change that one icon.

(i dont know what it means, i suppose it could be the HDSPA icon).

maybe you could add an icon for it (i thought about a "green G ball"?

just like the one you already added, but with a different color)

thx in advance

icefeldt

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] helasio:
Tsowen, I have the same problem noted by Icefeldt. When my home phone icon "E" is perfect, but after a while it disappears and the place is a "white box with the E".:confused::confused:

Would solve this problem? With icons of Carnero's is only a change of color but the icon remains the same. Would do that too. Thank you very much!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] tsowen:
Taskbar Developer's need help locating this icon seen below. It is the Wifi icon for New Network detected located to the left of the bluetooth. I have searched the shellres and phcanOverbmp.dll and found nothing. I am thinking it must be in another dll somewhere.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] 4D3:
Happens all the time, i think it is the hardcoded windows "failsafe" icon.

basically, when you first log onto a network as soon as signal is detected and identified that icon is displayed (there is also 1 for H and E) then the icon from the custom dll is shown.

sometimes if there is no signal fluctuation (i.e. increase or decrease) sometimes the icon can stay displayed.

i dont know if there is a fix, i used to find it helpful to turn the phone into airplane mode wait a second then switch it back and get it to re-detect and most of the time it fixed it

hope this helps

Battery & CDMA for tsowen

here are your cdma icons and new battery icons.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] TomF1979:
Hi Tsowen.

I installed your tsowentaskbar5V1.4 and all icons work great.

I am in GSM and need the H,3G,E and G. So i modified your dll`s with some icons. Look at the picture from my screenshot.

When Dataconnections is off then you will see the little globe and the original 4 white signal bar.

When Dataconnection is on you will see the big H and right the little H and the original 4 white signal bars. Also with 3G, E and G. Look at the attachments.

I also attached the modified dll´s and a bitmap from the changed icons (email, missed call, bluetooth, red wifi when off, ...)

So it will be working fine for me.

When you have a new cab for Gsm i can test it for you on my phone.

Best regards Tom
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] the guitarist:
hi there,

i would like to ask you a favor which lots of the guys here in this thread are wishing for...because you have experience with modifying the dll's for GSM..would you mind modifying tsowen taskbar5 v1.4 to have the G,H,E,3G icons as you did with your modified dll's but with the same icons for the rest...and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE change the signal icons to HTCLeneer Option 2 icons the one's with the 3d look...

PLEASE TRY TO DO IT as there no one else can at the moment

thank you last problem, do you know why sometimes the wifi icon goes away and come back later on? Also where is the little earth global with 5 bars? sorry if i ask to too much question
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Trident:
I just wanted to thank everyone who has contributed to this thread. I've use a few of the TSowen taskbar cabs, but this most recent one is spectacular. It looks like it was made to match my TF3D icons.

My only question- when I get a notification, it seems that no matter how many there are (one to four have been seen so far) I get the OEM notification icon and when I tap on it, I see the modified icon in a gray bar below the taskbar. If this it my only glitch, I'll live with it, but if there is a simple fix in settings or registry, I'd love to have this thing perfect. In the attached screenshot, I put two icons there. I noticed that even with one, I get the same thing happening. Curiously, the modded icon shows up on the bar for a few seconds, then the OEM icon appears and I can only see the modded icon when I tap on the OEM icon.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Kraize:
Yay! Just another icon to find to change >.>

The earth globe is part of the skin. And I don't know why the wifi goes away and come back? Could be you're going out of range and then in range or maybe it's searching for a signal and finds a signal? :confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] TomF1979:
At the moment i have not found out where i can change the original signal bars. I have seen that the signal bar from cdma was only one ion.By gsm are two seperately icons.

I dont know if the signal bar is changeable. This is my first Winmobile device.

No, I changed that one and nothing

It is the one that show's up to the left of the bluetooth icon as seen on my post. The way I get it to show up is to go to Settings/Connections/Wi-Fi Once in there click Menu then Turn on Wi-Fi. Then wait for your phone to find a New Network, once it has done this you will here that "ping" noise and if you click on the icon up top it will bring up the message "New Network Detected" You can dismiss the notification or click Do Not Display This Message Again.

Looking for a dll...

When I connect my BT headphones, at the initial pairing, I get the spiffy BT headset icon found in this thread. When I have it start to broadcast music, I get icon #5071 from shellres.192.dll.0409.mui showing up as well. This one I can fix, because I can find it. However, when my headphones connect as the microphone... a crappy mic icon also appears. I've got a replacement icon for this one too, but until I can find what .dll or .mui houses this, I'm SOL.

Anyone know where it resides?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] tsowen:
No we are still looking, I tried that one and still nothing. We did however find and replace the Voice Command Icon, its a few pages or post back.

If you install my cab go into your /Windows file and check for a file named shellres.192.dll.0409.mui, if you have this file then delete it because my cab install's the shellres.192.dll which the two files are exactlly the same. The Diamond comes with the shellers.192.dll.0409.mui and the HTC Touch Pro comes with the shellres.192.dll Make sure you don't mistake it for the shellres.dll.0409.mui this file doesn't have the "192".
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Im_Gumby:

I have installed an earlier version of your taskbar cab.

Since then, I've copied over with different icons and dlls as I find different ones I prefer.

My recently updated shellres.192.dll.0409.mui does in fact work with the new music icon.

So can I (should I) delete shellres.192.dll if I have it (as mentioned above, the ...0409.mui file is there and working)?

All I'm looking for is the name of the dll or mui that contains that stupid white, M$ Paint looking microphone icon.
