hi guys

Any chance to get this taskbar for wm6.5? My taskbar background is currently in pure white so the original wm6.5 taskbar is nearly invisible. I am desperately need the black one :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
I see. I'll try that and also check with DN what he knows about it.... Cause it could be a good solution having a dark grey background on programs/settings folder, right?

Yeah I'm not sure, but I think it's just an update. I couldn't find any other differences between them :p
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
That happens sometimes on 6.5. I can't believe the incompetence of Microsoft!!! Hahaha!
[Windows Mobile Themes] ZetaLau:
so, how can I change the taskbar of WM6.1 to any one of it?

Any theme of android is okay, but which files should I install ?

what is the installation order ??

thank you!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
Install the one in post #3 that says 6.1.

If your volume buttons go crazy, follow the solutions pointed out in the first posts.
[Windows Mobile Themes] omniwolf:
yeah, worth a try. probably the only screens it would affect for us would be the all settings screen. the rest has since been manila'ised
[Windows Mobile Themes] PhysX:
maybe some of you would like to use android wallpapers, so here you go vga & wvga

vga:

960x800
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dalek_Caan:
I don't know what you could mean longice .. Microsoft makes great stable products and always keeps the users needs first .. :D:D:D ( ok almost said that with a straight face)
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
Haha yeah, nice try ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] hadist:
great design i must say :)

Do you have another vesion with HTC logo instead Android logo at the start (top left) ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] ZetaLau:
I only install the 6.1.cab of #3 is still not work on taskbar....

thank you!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dalek_Caan:
did you instsall SDKCerts first?
[Windows Mobile Themes] ZetaLau:

I have installed it !!

Thanks ~~~
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
Can you please describe what is not working? Are any icons changed?

Omnia II

Hi there, I've got a question.. Would this theme also work on my Samsung Omnia II (i8000)? I hope so, because the white theme is amazing!

Greetz, Robert
[Windows Mobile Themes] arasarn:
I am running windows mobile 6.5 and my msn messenger notification in the task bar is not skinned with the android task bar.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dark Ninja:
Hmm wierd.. That doesnt seem right its supposed to work.. Theres gotta be something your doing wrong.. Check the "instructions" bit in post 2

Yeah t would work:) just remember to usee the right theme for the right Wm6.5 build.

I think i probably missed that dll out.. Not a biggy, but il try get that in a zip file.

Thanks guys for showing people the way whilst am not here.:D

[Windows Mobile Themes] Mu5ic92:

[prev] new bluedroid taskbar

Let's go bludroid! Click image for more. Stay tuned for the updates ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] ChrisGarner:
Is there a version of darkninja taskbar with battery percentage on top for QVGA devices?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dalek_Caan:
No there isn't one .. doubtful it could be done well with the limitations of QVGA
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
Yep, you won't see **** of the numbers :p
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
BLUDROID is out!

6.1 only for now. Battery percentage is coming soon!

Cab is coming. If you can't wait:

1. Extract the attached zip

2. Rename phcanOverbmp.dll and shellres.192.dll to something funny

3. Copy the dlls in the zip to your windows folder.

4. Soft reset and enjoy ;)

These files only changes your taskbar. It does NOT change your green highlights in Sense. You'll have to wait a bit for that ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dark Ninja:
Use WM6.5.x, and switch off htcnotifcation manager. Then tap the taskbar

NEAT!
[Windows Mobile Themes] :
I like the QVGA version of the White Theme. Thanks for this.

Just a few things. Sorry, I'll try to get screen if you don't fully understand.

The popup menus - the selectors for the text inside these menus is too big (the text is crammed in the bottom half of the selector). The up/down arrows are not centered.

The unfocused radio button is not skinned.
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
If I understand you correctly, these issues can't be related to the taskbar as they have nothing to do with it. But please provide a screenshot..
[Windows Mobile Themes] chelsea_fc:
Hi dark,

please upload v6 for 6.5.x taskbar with original waitcursor, because v5 makes my 'send' and 'reply' button in messaging turns BLUE.

thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dark Ninja:
Paste this file into windows

Hope that helps
[Windows Mobile Themes] macrool:
can someone post the theme, which was used in bluedroid screen? please, my diamond with gen Y rom sense 2012, gtx theme is the best, i want theme and taskbar! :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] JJKameR:
Anyone now which files need to be modified to have the topbar completely transparent in lockscreen instead of the original whitish one?

I am attaching a screen of the original one.
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
You mean the grey taskbar background? You'll find it here. I'll release a BLUdroid Ice Grey theme next week along with the cabs (this theme replaces green details in Windows, e.g. when you select items in file manager, with blue details).
[Windows Mobile Themes] chelsea_fc:
since i upgrade my latest rom to samsung omnia II official 6.5.3, i can't get the battery icons to work...please help dark...
[Windows Mobile Themes] :
This thread houses both the Dark Ninja White Theme, and the Android Taskbar.

Note my post started with "Thanks for the White Theme...".

But I have SS for some Taskbar issues too.

The screenshots should have the issues areas highlighted.

Keep in mind I'm using QVGA:

- Dark Ninja White WM6.5.x Theme (QVGA) V2.cab

- Dark Ninja Android Taskbar QVGA.cab

EDIT: Upload quality was horrible. The not-smooth headset icon is more clearly shown in the 3rd shot of the radio button.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Cinderella17:
Hello Ths can be use with WM 6.5 and manila 2.1??? thanx
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
Yes it can.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dark Ninja:
Hmm, not 100% sure on this but my guess would be its associated with the shell.exe

Hmm wierd.. yeah this happens on some roms, thinks its just the layout of the rom.. ty this reg trick

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\security\ResOver\Bitmaps]

"BatteryIconLevels"=dword:00000065

"BatteryIconIdStart"=dword:000003E9

"BaseDll"="phcanOverbmp.dll"

"BaseId"=dword:00000000

Thanks for this helps alot, although i hardly think im going to be making updates for the themes :\ sorry.. But maybe if i get time.. But for the taskbar il fix them after i finish this little update for WVGA

@All, guys im working on a signal bar that replicates the android one completely so taht the whole taskbar is completely android.. also some of the green i may remove look at the screenshot for how im trying to mkae it..

Do you think that the green is better and i should leave it that way or these would be better?

Hope to get some feedback ont his.
[Windows Mobile Themes] chelsea_fc:
the registry settings already the same with you before, only the batt icons won't work, even if the batt goes empty the indicator remain full :confused::confused:
[Windows Mobile Themes] taox:
It's great!!! thx
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
It looks great, DN! Go for it!

By the way, you are correct about transparent taskbar: It's all about shell32.exe. More info to be found riiiiiight HERE.
[Windows Mobile Themes] albekb:
your QVGA taskbar have

SINGLE Volume control or double volume control?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dark Ninja:
Its dependent on what you want.. this taskbar does not control that.. Your own registry does.

For the new signal bars il try get em working after i finish the desire update ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] albekb:
in past i've tried a taskbar that modify HTCvolumecontrol.dll and it change my single volume control with double control, and i've volume problems..
[Windows Mobile Themes] jeffrey2000:
Waiting for this mod for Omnia 2 (i8000) with white today screen (does not excist yet):

-top bar: ovi's android theme

-icons: dark ninja's icons with dandnj71's battery mod

-middle: Samsung altered Today screen (has to be made/converted still).

-below start bar: inverted to white color from ovi's theme. (has to be made but it's easy to make cz it's just a simple color invert... but still looks nice).
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dark Ninja:
cant see the screen shot, which bit you talking about ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] stevierayvaughan:
How can I get the newest version of the taskbar with black background and the new wait cursor for my touch pro 2?

I currently installed either the older (v5) one and it has the original wait cursor that I don't like, or the new one (v6) with new wait cursor but the gradient light grey background (that goes darker during Start Menu but not black).

I also installed the black underlay cab, but it did not do anything. Thanks Dark Ninja for any help, incredible work you have done here!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
Are you on a 6.1 ROM? The taskbar doesn't affect your taskbar background theme. Just select HTC Black.tsk from Settings \ Personal \ Today and you should be fine.
[Windows Mobile Themes] stevierayvaughan:
Nope, using Mr. X 6.5/2.5 ROM, the background of taskbar turns to a white/grey gradient, gets darker using Titanium and Start Menu.
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
Yeah that difference is because of the opacity in 6.5 and 6.5.x start menu ++.

You mean that the taskbar looks like that green shaded stock WM thingy, right?

Make sure that you've installed sdkcerts. Try also just reinstalling it. You have a HTC Black in your Today settings view, right?
[Windows Mobile Themes] jeffrey2000:
Uploaded it again, now @xda instead of modaco :P
[Windows Mobile Themes] kinvid:
would this work on my qvga HTC OZONE or it's just for touch screens' only?
[Windows Mobile Themes] ChrisGarner:
Is this a titanium theme?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dark Ninja:
Sorry didnt quite catch what the problem was?

Hmm, try it although i would doubt it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ChrisGarner:
Sorry DarkNinja il would like to know how to make clock background black or grey... With your skin clock doesn't have any background, it is "simply white"...
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dark Ninja:
Sorry im not using wm6.5.x atm,

Heres what you gotta do..

Go into \windows look for "darkninjataskbar.png"

copy it to your pc and make your black box where the battery is (on the right) then paste it back into windows.
[Windows Mobile Themes] stevierayvaughan:
Thanks a lot longice, I was using Mr. X's theme in Settings > Today, forgot about that part (so used to just switching Sense <-> Titanium ;)). Turned it over to HTC Black and it works just fine now, thanks so much :) :)

dialer keypad turns to windows flag icon

Dark Ninja, I really appreciated your taskbar, it's really nice. I am using qvga v2. One bug I noticed is when you try to call, there is overlapping keypad icon at the bottom in the dialer, that's why the windows flag icon becomes 2. I think this issue will be addressed because I believe it is related to some .dll or registry? I believe you can fix this bug. Thank you and more power to the forum. In addition, can you share with me a .tsk with white and red for 240x320 and 320x240 only. Thanks again in advance.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Honda_civic:
I had install the "Dark Ninja Android Taskbar WM6.1 V2 (longice).cab" but the battery icon always full and no change as the power gone. What is the problem please help!
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
Probably a registry input missing. DN, could you check if the registry entry for using phcanoverbmp.dll and the starting point is included in the cab?

Honda_civic, what you could do is try to install the previous version (the one not saying v2). Then uninstall it and install v2 again. That should at least apply the registry entry. If not I'll post it for you when I get home and can check the exact path to add.
[Windows Mobile Themes] beababe:
Im getting all confused with all these cabs.

Im running 6.5.5 and want the taskbar. Could someone pls point me in the right direction.. :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dalek_Caan:
sure but it depends on which one you want exactly as far as what you want you battery to look like .. look at either post 2 for the 6.5.x cabs those are for no percentage or white percentage over the battery .. or look here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5970153&postcount=463

for dark percentage ( for use on light taskbars) or internal percentage
[Windows Mobile Themes] beababe:
Found what i wanted :) tho one small problem.

Black box around textmessage. is it supposed to be like that? ^^
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dark Ninja:
huh, weird.. I think i mustve mixed up my desire version with this one.. what taskbar u using?
[Windows Mobile Themes] roudejans:
Hi,

I tried all the fixes for the volume icon, bt nothing works. Even if i uninstall everyting and return to Windows taskbar items, still the volume icon does not appear anymore.

I have to admit that I could not find the version of the volume dll, so I tried both fixes (install- deinstall- install the other one) And after that the revert fix, but nothing helped.

What should I do? Is a hard reset the only solution?
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
I suppose you have already installed sdkcerts. Try to copy the HTCVolumeControl.dll to the windows folder (of course you have to use total commander, resco explorer or similar, not the standard WM file explorer). If that doesn't help you, please tell me what WM version and Sense version you have (you'll find it in settings tab \ about phone \ software information.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Honda_civic:
Hi, Longice:

I had followed your procedure, I got the battery level icon normally (But no %) after installing the initial version. However, the battery level icon returned to abnormal after reinstalling the version V2.

Moreover, the bluetooth icon never change neither initial nor V2 version was installed. Is it normal? or something wrong on installation?

In fact, my main target is to have a battery level icon with % meter internally.

I am a beginner of WM user so I need detail procedure for modifying registry to avoid mistake.

Please help and thank you very much.

Changing of Folder and Storage Icons

Hi Dark Ninja,

I've been using "Dark Ninja Android Taskbar WM6.5.x V5+NEW BATTERY.cab" after every flashing of new cooked rom. It's fantastic. Then recently tried changing icons of shortcuts and folders in Start Menu and was happy with the result. Then I decided to try changing the File Explorer and Resco Explorer 'folder' and 'storage card' icons. This is where I could not find out how to do it. Through many internet searches and digging of the registry entries, I failed to find out the place to make the change. Then I remembered using your taskbar cab and decided to uninstall it. After a SR, I found out that the File Explorer and Resco Explorer 'folder' and 'storage card' icons had changed. I have uploaded some screen captures to show you. I suspect that the icons that I want to change are actually in your cab, and probably a "dll" file. I don't have the knowledge of changing icons in "dll" files. Are you able to give me some information on which "dll" is the one to make the change or even better, direct me to the specific registry to add in an icon entry to point to a icon that I want to use?
[Windows Mobile Themes] criscrebot:
2 Windows Flag Taskbar at the bottom

Dark Ninja, I hope you can figure it out and help me fixing this problem. I am using DN taskbar v2 QVGA, during the call, there are 2 windows flag icon at the bottom, supposedly the 2nd flag icon should be the dialer. By the way I'm using Asus P525 6.5.x OS/ Thank you for your response.
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
The cabs for WM 6.1 doesn't include a taskbar with internal %, it's only the plain icons. I could fix that, but don't have the time now, sorry... If you find it acceptable to have blue icons instead of green ones, you could try the cab in my thread, just click on the image in my signature.

It's kinda weird that the battery icon don't work though, cause the registry entry in the cab seems to be correct...

To check if the registry entry is OK, first download Total Commander from HERE if you don't already have it. Install on device and open Total Commander. Here you have a folder called \\Plugins. Open this (double click on it).

Then go to registry \ HKLM. In this folder, see if you have the following folders/entries: Security \ ResOver \ Bitmaps. In this folder you're supposed to find four files. These files and their values shall be (you'll find the values by double clicking on them):

BaseDll = phcanOverbmp.dll

BaseId = 0

BatteryIconStart = 1001 (if 'Base' is Decimal) or 3E9 (if 'Base' is Hex)

BatteryIconLevels = 66 (might also be 65)

Let me know if you have these registry entries and if they are correct.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Honda_civic:
I had checked the registry after installing V2 as follow:

BaseDll = phcanOverbmp.dll

BaseId = 0

BatteryIconStart = 1001

BatteryIconLevels = 102

Therefore, I changed the value of "BatteryIconLevels = 66" as your requested.

But the battery level don't work anyway.

What can I do then? :(

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
Okay, just keep running v1 for now. I'll have a look at the files during the day and provide you a phcanoverbmp.dll with internal % that you should be able to use.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Honda_civic:
Please also modify the network icon (as V2) and skin the bluetooth icon if you have time.

Thanks a lot!:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Emrulez:
Any news on the progress? The QVGA version still has some bugs.

Thanx In advance
[Windows Mobile Themes] roudejans:
Yes I installed sdkerts. There are already to files in the Windows folder:

HTCVolumeControl and HTCVolumeControl.dll.0413.

You advised me to place HTCVolumeControl.dll in the Windows directory.But where should I get this file from?

Software Info

Windows version 6.5 5.2.21869 (521869.5.0.82)

Manila version 2.5.19211619.0
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
Try the Volume control hotfix from HERE. That'll copy the dll for you. Soft reset afterwards.

[Windows Mobile Themes] Vernox701:
how can i fix signal icon using vga on touch pro
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
It's recommended to uninstall any previous taskbar mods before installing a new one. Also, remember to install sdkcerts before installing the taskbar. If you need any more assistance, please provide information about your WM version and what cab(s) you tried installing.
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
What is it that needs to be fixed? The icon is correct. The only problem seems to be that your device hasn't yet connected to your network. And that's not because of the taskbar :p
[Windows Mobile Themes] monyozt:
bro which version that able to install to WQVGA device?
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
The QVGA version. Doesn't matter whether it's W or not. But what does matter is what WM version your device is running.

2 start flag icon at the bottom

Dark Ninja, I hope you can figure it out and help me fixing this problem. I am using DN taskbar v2 QVGA, during the call, there are 2 windows flag icon at the bottom, supposedly the 2nd flag icon should be the dialer. By the way I'm using Asus P525 6.5.x OS/ Thank you for your response.
[Windows Mobile Themes] vpontinha:
this also happens to me. Most of the softkey buttons appear substituted by the windows flag image although their function remain the same. I believe it's no big deal but it may be confusing.

Great work! :D

Taskbar Problems

Hi there

I am using a HTC Pharos P3470 with WM6.1 Standard

1. issue > the pin keypad after startup works only in the QVGA vers. All other versions the pin keypad-keys are bigger and the numbers cannot be seen properly.

2. issue > it only replaces 3 icons in the taskbar: battery, volume and connections > start is standard icon > provider network connection is standard icon. Taskmanager icon does appear only sometimes.

I installed the sdkcerts.cab and followed the instructions.

Is there anything i forgot? anything i should be aware of?

Thanks in advance for a possible solution.

[Windows Mobile Themes] galonzo23:
Hello,

Where exactly might I find what version of HTC Volume Control I have? I am currently running stock 6.5 ROM on a Verizon TP2, and I read through this entire thread, as well as searching the rest of the forums for the answer.

Thank you
[Windows Mobile Themes] saveferris:
Brilliant taskbar....only a slight issue but the Bluetooth headset icon is quite pix-elated around the edges hopefully in your next release that could be cleaned up.........Once again well done.
[Windows Mobile Themes] StudioMonkeY:
I have a question concerning the white manila theme in the first post:

Does this one work on the Omnia i900 ? and if it does, where can I get it from?

please tell me it looks amazing!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dark Ninja:
Haha no worries now, Its released
[Windows Mobile Themes] impreZzA:
great, just one question!

If i dont like it, will it be removed ( if I uninstall it ) without any problens and will the real sense bar appear?.

just asking because I havent done backup yet.

So far is black underground possible?

Thxn for ur work these little icons awesome!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Irishpride:
That is probably the best taskbar I've seen, cant wait for the QVGA!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dark Ninja:
yeah defo, just uninstall and soft reset and ul be back to your rom default.. Thanks for your compiments. Appreciated.
[Windows Mobile Themes] impreZzA:
Hello, I tested both versions u added to ur start post.

Unfortunalety none of them work.

After installing the first one on my device (device memory) my taskbar appeared in grey but none of the icons where in "android style". The icons were the standard one.

After installing the second nothing noticeable changed at all :P

Both installments had one thing in common, the icon which shows ur cell status didnt show connection. After removing and turning back to the original taskbar this problem disappeared!

My steps:

installing to device memory

soft reset

Hope this.will be fixed soon, this icons look fuc k ing gorgeous :)

If u allow me to add a wish, please change the background to black : ) PLS

I hope this comment helps u to optimize it!

Thxn
[Windows Mobile Themes] kwill:
So, just installed the android taskbar and its very welcome. But, when I install the first one, the soft keys on titanium end up being all screwed up and I dont get any icons in top bar. I know djcedric was having the same problem with his taskbar, so he may be able to help with the "Why" part of it.:D Thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dark Ninja:
oh.. but the androin one works? the titanium thing is exactly whats taking me so long with the qvga version! could someone clarify this problem? thanks in advance
