Having trouble seeing signal bars?

Check my release post, I have 2 different versions of each taskbar. For those of you who were ok with the gray signal strength icons, its still there. For those of you who can not see the gray well I have made some changes. I took the gray bars, made them taller, so they take up more of the space of the icons. I also added color! I was trying to make it as easy as possible to glance at your phone, and see how much signal you have. First i tried making each signal bar a color, first bar red, orange, yellow, green, bright green. This didn't look right as it was just too many colors in a tiny spot to glance at, and see exactly what was going on. My second try, which i figured was what i was going to have to do. I made all signal bars the same color, according to how many bars were showing. 1 bar showing its red, 2 they are both orange, 3 they are all yellow, 4-5 are green. So this way you can just glance at your taskbar, see what color all the icons are, and automatically know how much signal you have.

Try it out, i really like the way it turned out. Let me know what you guys think!

Thank you tsowen for the nice taskbar that inspired me to learn some editing on my own and did a few changes to my liking.

One question. Is there really way to change the HTC task manager icon? The last icon on the right. I've search for a whole day and can't really find my answer. I did try to change quickmenuico.bmp in windows but no luck.

Or anybody else have the answer? I'm using miri v10 6.5 rom. Many thanks in advance.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Nagrom Nniuq:
Actually, the answer is, they will work but do not look as nice as the pics on QVGA devices. Unless they are specifically made for QVGA they are very hard to read and are grainy.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Inmortal:
uhm didnt he just say that? it is not going to look good because qvga devices have a screen of 240 x 320 pixels 2.8 inches
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] tsowen:
The CORRECT answer is YES they will work on a qvga device, all of my taskbars have been converted by gadgetfreak at PPCGeeks and looks and works perfectly fine. The only thing you have to do is resize the images to work on a qvga device. For a qvga device the icon has to be 16x16 verses a VGA device which uses 32x32 this is the only difference between the two. Gadgetfreak is working on a qvga WM6.5 taskbar from my Taskbar 6. Click the picture in my signature and it will take you to my taskbar collection thread on the top of page two you will find the link for his QVGA taskbars.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] octaedro7:
Thanks tsowen, looking really great.

Eventhough the speaker looks cool, the cross over them when the phone is silent is too tiny, at least on my diamond's VGA. Is it possible to increase the size of it?

Standard icons but with percentage battery

when i had 6.1 i was using icons by FInixNOver the Battery icons only cab from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=424926

I have been using this cab on 6.5 so far as it works with the new icons only appearing occasionaly (during startup mainly) but as they look pretty much the same as the old ones it isnt very obtrusive. I like the new more rounded H, E and G icons and the new wifi icon. If someone could create a theme that is the basic theme but with a percentage battery icon it would be great. The one in the cab mentioned above is just a fat battery shape with numbers in it showing ther percentage, no colour. i like this as it makes it easier for me to change colour scheme regularly as i like to.

Cheers
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Captain_Throwback:
The Finix cab installs phcanOverbmp.dll, and uses that for the battery meter. Unfortunately, that also takes over the signal icons and some other stuff when installed. I made a cab for someone using 6.5 that has a DLL (much like tsowen mentioned earlier in the thread) that just has the battery icons. That way it'll leave the shellres icons alone. Here's a link to that post:

Make a CAB

So I have customized my taskbar with my own icons and would like to make a CAB to simplfy install. However, when I make a CAB with Quick CAB and try to install on device, it always fails. I am assuming because it can't overwrite the files in Windows. I have to do it manually by renaming the file with .bak, soft reset, then copy new file and delete old. Could someone please point me in the right direction on how to make a CAB to overwrite the DLLs and not get a failed to install error? Thanks in advance.

I'm using Miri v14 and just installed tsowentaskbar6 WM6.5 version.cab.

After reboot the taskbar-icons have been replaced (ooh, pretty :P ), but my battery-level is not shown correctly. It's full green while there is actually only 15% left.

I looked at the registry-settings you gave in the startpost and compared with the ones in your cab-file. They appear to be the same so I don't think I need to change anything myself? Did I miss something? :)

[edit]

Did some more testing, apparently the icons are not getting updated. When I do a softreset with the power plugged in, I get the charging-icon.

When I unplug the power, this icon remains until I do another softreset, and so on...

And would it be possible to increase the size of the close (x) button, so it can be pressed easier (with the thumb) without accidently hitting the volume key?

Custom Signal Bars on GSM Device

I don't know how many people know about this, so I figured I'd post about it here. On their newer 6.5 devices, AT&T has included a DLL for the signal bars that has allowed the number of signal bars to be increased from 4 to 5. It may also be possible to include up to 6, but I'm not sure. The file is GSM_RSSI.dll, and I've included the relevant registry for it below (these settings were actually found in the OperatorPkg rgu file):

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\ResOver\Bitmaps]
"FuncDll"="GSM_RSSI.dll"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\GSMRSSI]
"CustomizationFlag"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\GSMRSSI]
"SignalStrengthMaxLevel"=dword:00000006

I haven't tried customizing it just yet, but I can confirm that it does in fact show 5 signal bars on my Fuze (at full signal strength). I'd imagine it would work on any GSM phone, but someone else will have to test that.

The resources with the additional signal bars appear to start at icon #83.

NOTE: There are 2 sets of "3G" data icons; that's because AT&T doesn't use the HSDPA icon. One of the sets should be "H".
