[Windows Mobile Themes] Dark Ninja:
Sorry, are you talkign about the wm6.5 white theme? Im currently working on the QVGA version of it so it ent yet done.. il release it soon so itl be up there soon ;) Also what do you mean by the pin screen.. sorry.

No not really, it will work as long as you dont change themes to something else.. the theme is like a temporary cab file.. so itl overwrite the current registry i have made to the version with the theme..

Believe it or not, i just realised that i included the ugly version of my taskbar into the theme... so uninstall the taskbar (no need to uninstall the volume), enable livvens theme, reinstall my taskbar.. and done.. It should be perfect. Thanks for your feeback as always kwill.:D

Hm.. im nto too sure.. im currently using wm6.5.. but il probably switch over in a while.. so il check up on this it should be an easy fix.. I'm not too sure if i fixed it in version true.. But i would say give it a try ;)

Regards

EDIT: I jsut decided to pdate the ones in second post.. the taskbars were causing too many problems, and there alreadya re underlays available in first post.. So look in the second post kwill ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] teorouge:
I actually cooked your v1 in my ROM, do you think installing v2 cab would work in a proper way?
[Windows Mobile Themes] bluebird:
I liked the 2nd one :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] kwill:
Ok, think that did it and the ugly taskbar was the bigger part of the problem:) The remove ugly taskbar cab works fixing the taskbar, but doesn't skin the battery meter though. So, its like the standard V6 cab without the %. But, for now (since I know it was just the ugly taskbar that you didnt remove), I can use the original v6 with % meter cab and be sure to switch to the theme and that will overwrite the taskbar.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dark Ninja:
Yeah that shouldnt cause problems.

I added the zip to first post, also im not sure yet, but i think i may have fixed your battery issue..

Regards
[Windows Mobile Themes] gianton:
the 3rd one (transparent) would be my choise, thanks!
[Windows Mobile Themes] kwill:
Checked it out and it works perfect (black % meter). I actually thought it was for the % meters inside the battery and couldnt see it at first since my taskbar is black:D lol! Looked closer and there it was, thats when I realized what the cab was actually for.
[Windows Mobile Themes] teorouge:
Actually, I think the second one is gonna be the only one easily readable...
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dark Ninja:
You tried the files in the other zip file? the one without the taskbar..? Check if the version you wanted is fixed also.. i just corrected some registry errors
[Windows Mobile Themes] kwill:
Not sure which zip file you're referring to, but I tried the cabs in this one (dandnj71 Black %'s for Dark Ninja) and it just turns the percentage reading to black. I thought it was actually changing it to look like these http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5941516&postcount=409. I'll check the other cabs you posted as well if you've updated them? Which would be just the standard v6 cab without the % meter, correct?

edit **Tried the standard V6 cab without the % meter and still no batter icon.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dalek_Caan:
Kwill - hope you don't mind me chiming in a little .. I have been using Liven's rounded taskbar with these ans still get the semi transparent topbar, but i did need to edit it in the registry to make the taskbar show livens even after applying the tsk. so maybe check the reg entries if the new cabs don't work.

As for the battery icons you pointed too, those were to see what seems to be the popular choice ( which seems to be choice 2) I am about halfway done with those BTW
[Windows Mobile Themes] kwill:
You're right, and just reapplying livvens theme fixes it for me at least. It had more to do with the "ugly taskbar" :) that DN stated he forgot to remove. All is fine now and looking forward to the battery icons. Thanks to both of you all.

,the middle is still the same?? even I tried several times and get red/white wallpapers

what's problem?

PLEASE!!!someone help me

I have tried all method to install in the main memory and storage card

oh, sorry, i woke someone up... lawl, but seriously, yeah im on Sprint CDMA TP2 (using Stock 6.5 right now but over to MR when he finishes it)

thanks again!
[Windows Mobile Themes] monyozt:
ok.. after installing your fix. i got this icon volume. is this correct volume icon?

​

bro, can u make android icon for wm 6.5.x version on start menu like this?

​
[Windows Mobile Themes] aspire28:
It is good look.

Can u make andriod for wm6.5 version

please!!! THX mate~
[Windows Mobile Themes] lukechancat:
I ask about the "If you want no ugly taskbar problems" with the original file What's the difference then???

thanks...
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dalek_Caan:
Thanks for the input on this, but I think after messing with them I need to make a choice based on visuals. After messing with the popular choice for a while once on the device it really does not work. In order to get the text to an actual readable size it needs to be a size that pretty much hides the colors, the fix would have been to make the battery bigger but IMO it looks kinda silly and stretched out. If there is still an interest in this with just the numbers over the graphic ( sample attached) I think i can make that one work.
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
The 6.5 White theme preview looks great! Is it possible to make this for 6.1 as well???
[Windows Mobile Themes] pimpol10:
No Android Green Guy

I have windows 6.5 Sprint TP2 can you make me a Taskbar without the Android green guy in the upper left hand corner?? Please Tammy
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dalek_Caan:
The top and bottom is what the 6.5 theme changes. You will need to install the Manila theme also to change the items in middle of screen to match screenshot.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dalek_Caan:
Yes you got the right volume icon there.

For the start menu icon .. is that an edited pic, or a screenshot from somewhere? just wondering if it is a shot from another thread they probably have a theme with it .
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dalek_Caan:
The 6.5 versions already have the android mascot if that is what you mean
[Windows Mobile Themes] monyozt:
no. thats real... im used it on my i780.. maybe someone edited from dark ninja's cab :)

I'm using the Android taskbar on WM 6.1 and it works really great!

The only issue is that I have a big fat white square where the 'OK' and 'X' i supposed to be (upper right corner)! The taskbar icon shows correctly when I'm on Sense tabs. Any fix for this? I tried to search but found nothing...

And will there be a release of version 6 without the wait cursor? Because that one doesn't work on 6.1 either :p
[Windows Mobile Themes] iullian:
How did you do it?

What file did you downloaded to use for winmo 6.1 ? I don't figure it out at all.
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
Spesifically what problems are you having?

Remember that you have to install sdkcerts.cab first.

At first I tried the newest release, version 6. But it only gives me a black wait cursor which is not very pretty :p

I'm now using the Dark Ninja Android Taskbar WM6.5 V5 (Original Waitcursor).cab from post 3. The wait cursor still has a black ugly background but it is at least spinning and looks much better! I hope that DarkNinja soon will make a version 6 without the wait cursor for us 6.1 users!

And I also had to apply the volume fix, including the "button fix" from this post.

I'm editing the shellres.192.dll right now in order to make it work properly with WM 6.1 (removing the big white box in upper right corner). Will post it as soon as I'm done.
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
Android taskbar now also fully working on WM 6.1 !

HOW TO HAVE THE ANDROID TASKBAR ON WM 6.1

Okay, 6.1 guys, here we go.

So I took the liberty and edited the shellres.192.dll to work almost 100% on WM 6.1. The issue was that the "OK" and "X" button in upper right corner only displays one color on 6.1. Therefore the attached buttons in the cabs messed it up with an ugly white square.

In order to get everything working on WM 6.1, follow this procedure:

1. Uninstall whatever taskbar mods you might have. Even DarkNinja.

2. Install Dark Ninja Android Taskbar WM6.5 V5 (Original Waitcursor).cab from post #3 and soft reset. Also, install the volume fix and the volume buttons fix if you're having issues with that. More info on post #3. I don't think there will be any problem installing version 6, but then you will have no wait cursor (only a black square). Not tested, though. I recommend waiting for a release of version 6 with original wait cursor, alternatively check out this great piece of software!

3. Soft reset after installing the volume fixes.

4. In the Windows folder, rename 'shellres.192.dll' to 'shellres.192.dll.bak' using Total Commander, Resco Explorer etc (won't work with WM File Explorer).

5. Download and extract the attached file and copy the new dll to the Windows folder.

Enjoy :D

BTW I also added a slightly different Android as Start logo. It's cool, I promise!

Consider using this taskbar with the theme from this post. It rocks!

PS: DarkNinja, you might wanna create a cab with this shellres.192.dll as well, and add WM 6.1 compatibility to your thread title ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dalek_Caan:
ok . than i guess i was just a little confused, if you already the android start button what was it you are looking for?
[Windows Mobile Themes] iullian:
winmo 6.1 taskbar - finally

for longice

Thanks. Finally I got my answer. The waiting cursor is ugly, but it's something I can live with. :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
I'm glad to hear that it worked out for you! If someone could point me to the file where the waiting cursor files are, I could try to modify it to something better...
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dark Ninja:
GREAT! Nice work man. Il skin the wait cursor for you guys, and the shellres is missing a few wifi icons (not a few all :p), so il skin them and il release it as 6.1 version.. Thanks for your work again.

Your doing good work bro, the one with the percentage inside the battery looks quite good too, what happened about the black and white? Did it get too small? You want me to makea test version and send it you to see if its okay? Thanks for your input.

Regards
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
NP, just doing my share. Thanks for a great taskbar :D

longice: take a look: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=497196
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dark Ninja:
Just wanna clarify, was it just the X icon and start icon which was messing up, was there anything else before i finish it? Also about the wait cursor, i could just add the one in the wm6.5 version although where the transparency is it will just be white.. Or i could just use the original.. Il try adapt the android one though if irts possible..

EDIT: Or you could just use the software iullian has posted above.. Up to you

Regards
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dalek_Caan:
Yeah man the digits inside the battery were way too small any bigger on the black behind the numbers and you could barely see the green yellow or red . I tried making the battery bigger but it just looked weird. I am putting a new dll together now with just the numbers over image . I will see how it goes. If it doesn't look half bad i will throw up a screen shot
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
I'll have a look at the app from iullian (thnx, man!) but I'd also love if you have the time to take a look at implemeting the android one!

The issues are not related to the start icon (I changed that one just because I like that one a little bit more :p). The only issues were related to the 'X' to close programs and the 'OK' button wherever it says 'OK' instead of just the 'X'. Both are found in the upper right corner of the screen (but of course not at the same time!).

To be specific, the issue relates to the icons 4610.ico and 4615.ico in the shellres.192.dll. You'll find the stock dll's for 6.1 in this post.

I think the problem appears because in WM6.5 and 6.5.X you can use multiple colors in this specific buttons, while in 6.1 only two colors are possible (white and black/transparent). But I'm not 100% sure about this...
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dark Ninja:
Oh right.. nice.. wiill be waiting ;)

Righty tighty I get what your tryna say.. Heres a mockup i done for the waitcursor.. Its compatible with wm6.1.. what do you think? I think i reduce the gradient on the background slightly just to make it clearer
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
Yep, I think it looks very good! If you should get some idea of a background that would look cool (to avoid that plain white background) it would be great, but it's no biggie if it's just like the mockup ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dark Ninja:
Yeah, i thought the same, problem is the background would stand out too much and reduce the spinner.. Also it blends in well with the GTX theme.. so i this one should be almost perfect.. Il probably release it tonight as im going out soon :p .
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
Great :) Yeah it'll work very well with the GTX theme, which btw I hope will be released for 2012 soon!!! :D:D
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dark Ninja:
+1 day now ;)

Haha, Yeah their killing it with there theme.. 2012 will be the rise of the ultimate theme.. Their working too hard :p
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dalek_Caan:
I am with you on that one . Waiting almost patiently for the 2012 version LOL
[Windows Mobile Themes] BB88:
Will anyone possibly making this for WM6.1?
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
Yeah. I just did that earlier today. So if you search you'll find this post ;) And on the same page you can read this post telling you that there soon will be a cab for it if you don't wanna mess around with the dll files yourself. Enjoy!
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
You gotta read the post, my friend :D It says right there what you've quoted how to get that theme (clock & wallpaper):

[Windows Mobile Themes] Dalek_Caan:
Battery Mods to DN's Taskbar

Here is a quick one stop shop to see and get the current battery MODs made for Dark Ninja's taskbar.

- The black % cabs are same as the original battery % mod but with dark numbers for use on white/light taskbars

- Internal Cabs have the percentage inside the battery icon .

Hope you guys enjoy and maybe even find these helpful :D

Big Thanks to Dark Ninja for his work on a great Taskabr, and for all his help getting these packaged up and out to everyone.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Emrulez:
Looks great but is it for all res?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dark Ninja:
hmm, im not too sureee , but i hope soon.. Im really busy atm.. sorry, so no exact date but i hope soon.

you done it perfecto, i added the link :D Thanks again

Nope, sorry :^), qvga pixels would be way too small for the numbers..
[Windows Mobile Themes] Emrulez:
Awwwwhhh, I really hoped to see it soon :(

Guess I will have to wait.........

To Bad you cant make them in QVGA I just hate my Res....:mad:
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dalek_Caan:
Thanks i am glad you like them , unfortunately like DN said unless you want to carry around a magnifying glass QVGA is just too small sounds like a great excuse for a new device lol

Battery and clock visible on all screens

Hi guys,

This is really a cool taskbar. I've installed it yesterday & am enjoying it now.

There is - however - ONE QUESTION that I have:

How can I turn on visibility of BOTH battery and clock on all screens

as in the first post about Android Taskbar V6 (post #2) ?? :confused:
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
New WM 6.1 taskbar is awesome, DN, everything seems to work fine! :D:D:D And I LOVE the waitcursor!!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dalek_Caan:
That is the look you get on 6.5.x . I am guessing you have 6.5 as in the second taskbar screenshot ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Jack_Surfer:
Yes. I use the 6.5 system.

What now ??

Do I not have a chance to have them both visible :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dalek_Caan:
As far as I am aware on 6.5 no you can't.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dalek_Caan:
New ninja mascot for you DN lol :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] Emrulez:
I Currently have a precentage one from QVGA which gets replaced with the DN one without, could you atleasy try?

@Dark Ninja

I just reflashed my phone and installed your QVGA taskbar again, I have the following problems besides the ones I mentioned before:

You know the first screen where you enter your simcard pin number?

This one changes after installing the taskbar, is that suppose to happen, if needed I can make screens as soon as i find a program for it :p

Also some of my sofkeys have changed, for example when going to the calendar, the second and 4th icon are the same while the second shoud en was different before.

If its not clear I will make screens.
[Windows Mobile Themes] BB88:
Thanks for the WM6.1 taskbar!

Attached is what I got. I'm using Diamond with Gen.Y D2X R2.6 ROM, disabled SENSE and using ThrottleLauncher. Is the signal bar supposed to be white?

I don't have any taskbar installed before. So I just install the Dark Ninja Android Taskbar WM6.1.cab, soft-reset, then install Dark Ninja Volume Fix 20XX.cab, soft-reset.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dalek_Caan:
Sure I will give it a shot, no promises. Which do you currently use that has one working by the way.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dalek_Caan:
That is showing the wi-fi icon to the left of your signal bars
[Windows Mobile Themes] Emrulez:
Its A OEm package I always have included called numbattery if needed I can attach it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] BB88:
Right...sorry about that. Is the signal bar supposed to be white in color?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dalek_Caan:
nah if i want i can find it , was just curious what the one your using looks like
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dalek_Caan:
I believe so in 6.1 it is not skinable like 6.5 or 6.5.x .. if I am wrong someone can correct me ( been a while since i looked into 6.1)
[Windows Mobile Themes] BB88:
I'm pretty sure the signal bar is skinnable in 6.1.

e.g. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=554884

Nevertheless, great work Dark Ninja and longice
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dalek_Caan:
Sry my bad as i said it's been a while
[Windows Mobile Themes] Emrulez:
I found a screenshot for you:
[Windows Mobile Themes] BB88:
NP, just want no notify Dark Ninja for his next version for WM6.1 :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dalek_Caan:
ok .. something like that is about all it can be i think, the icon is just not big enough to show the colors and numbers as in the other versions.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dalek_Caan:
Ok maybe i wasn't loosing it LOL . 6.1 signal icons are skin-able in CDMA only not GSM does that fit for why yours aren't .. again if someone has more info please chime in

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=1325328&postcount=1585
[Windows Mobile Themes] BB88:
Maybe it's at least partially skinnable? Since i have definitely seen and used different signal bars with a GSM Diamond.

I think it may be that you can add an image as in the examples you gave but, the icons ( meaning bars ) are not. But I just don't know for sure.
[Windows Mobile Themes] dressanderc:
Hey, love the theme. I'm having some trouble with the signal and task manager icons, however. Any known fixes? I've tried searching, but no help. Thanks, keep up the good work.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dark Ninja:
Yeah, it is skinnable, the thing is the icons im using, maybe there the problem with wm6.1.. Coz i also noticed the battery icons have smudges around, although in wm6.5 its completely cleaar.. So im thinking of redoing the skin to a proper wm6.1 dll it shiuld fix the problem.. also sometimes its the way the rom is cooked wether some of the icons show up or dont.. Like i said il skin a wm6.1 dll and check it out.. Would you mind testing?

Thanks for pointing people in the right direction :) appreciated.

as dandnj was saying the numbers would be too small i think.. il give a crach at taking small digits and applying them to the qvga taskbar (above not inside) like the one dandnj made at first. Although no promises im not too sure itl be as perfect as WVGA.

i was actually looking for the taskmanager icon to make it black.. Il take a look into it.. but the signal as i said above il look into it.. I have no idea why that is coz your sing wm6.5.. Is it stock rom? What rom u using? and build?

Is the signal bar not skinned for everyone on wm6.1? If its working fo someone, Please say ! :)

Regards
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dalek_Caan:
I just finished a QVGA set and asked Emrulez to give it a test. I will let you know how it goes.
[Windows Mobile Themes] BB88:
Of course I don't mind testing it out. Really appreciate your work Dark Ninja!
[Windows Mobile Themes] dressanderc:
Yeah, sorry about that. I haven't updated the sig yet. I am back to the OEM AT&T 6.5 ROM. I would give you the build #, but right now I'm having to tether it for my internet connection :D. I live waaay out in the Middle of nowhere, and they.... sadly.... haven't ran high-speed internet out here. I can hit you with the build # tomorrow if you still need it. BTW, awesome theme man, seriously I love it. (Wish you would port it to the TouchFLO 3D interface, though :))
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
Hey DN,

no skinning on signal bar icons here. They're plain white, same as with the task manager icon. In the dlls that contains the usual icons there are no icons that control the signal bars, so I can't understand what to do to skin them :p

Regarding those smudges around the icons: Use png format as I suggested and make the background transparent and you'll avoid those problems ;) Let me know if I can help you with that, as I got some time today and tomorrow. I think I have already done your Desire taskbar battery icons in png, or at least some that are pretty close. I can send them over if ya like, just gimme a notice...

BTW in most of the lasts posts, those links are showing taskbars where the icon behind the signal bars are skinned, and not the signal bars themselves. There are no problems having a background for the signal bar icons to make them visible on a white background. The problem is how to change the colour on the bars themselves. Cause I can't find the right ico files in the dlls...
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
Alright guys, I've gone over the battery icons and removed the smudge. It looks really good now :) There were some almost transparent pixels on the images that were nearly impossible to see. Thanks to photoshop's magic wand I found them!

Attached is the shellres.192.dll. Consider this update 2.5 :p As usual, rename phcanOverbmp.dll in the windows folder to phcanOverbmp.bak, extract the one attached, copy it to the windows folder, soft reset and enjoy. Or wait for the cab if this sounds scary.

THIS IS FOR WM 6.1 ONLY. It might mess up your taskbar if you apply this on 6.5 or 6.5.x!

DN, I also attached a zip containing both the fixed icons and the fixed pngs, so you won't have to pull 'em out of the dlls ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dark Ninja:
I think thats the problem, i think it needs to be a cooked rom, did you install sdkcerts?

Right.. so the smudges have gone now? thats good, now just to skin the network bars il give it a good look through.. Im going to be using your phcan version just to make sure the icons are all there.. In the future pm me as sometimes i log in although i dont go straight to this thread. :) regards
