So I was wondering... should I take out complitely the htcvolume.dll from my cab? or it could cause problems to others using some kind of different phones or ROMs?

About the bottom bar icons, just few of them are included in the taskbar, such as the trashbin icon. Most of the other icons are in the Themes I made.

Which one are u having problem with after deleting the htcvolume.dll?
[Windows Mobile Themes] kwill:
I mean, you could make one with and without for users to try which one works best for them. Oh, and I do have the icons showing in the bottom bar:D Just didnt notice it at first as I am using one of your themes that had already changed the lock and "X" button. So, no worries on that one. Thanks again as I'm using ALL your themes on my phone now and keep up the great work.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
Anybody has problems with the wm6.5 version?
[Windows Mobile Themes] koki1975:
Already announced the problem few posts before - icons
[Windows Mobile Themes] ghostfaceg35:
Yes check your PM.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ghostfaceg35:
I've tried every dusk taskbar I can find on the forum and yours is the closest one to work (the 6.5.x version). Only issue is it doesn't change my start icon. When I try your other 6.5 version it does the same as listed next. Every other dusk taskbar I tried does change the start icon but doesn't change the bluetooth icon and also leaves white antenna icons. Any idea what I can do to fix it? I have an LG expo with stock 6.5 rom build 21749.5.0.28 Thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
Relased final version (hopefully^^) of wm6.5 taskbar.

Relased final version (hopefully^^) of CDMA fix (for both wm6.5 and 6.5.x).

Let me know if there are problems.

tacchan23_Dusk_Taskbar_wm6.5 fixed start icon issue

Fix for CDMA with two different kind of style for signal icons (choose and install just one of the below cabs, they work for both wm6.5 and wm6.5.x):

tacchan23_Dusk_Taskbar_CDMAfix Mine same signal icons as in the GSM version

tacchan23_Dusk_Taskbar_CDMAfix Original signal icons as in the original dusk cdma fix
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
maybe there was some problems with wm6.5 cab, I reuploaded it. please let me know if it's working

http://www.4shared.com/file/220883860/2ee91f97/tacchan23_Dusk_Taskbar_VGA_wm6.html
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
I got report from Omnia2 users about the new version for wm6.5 not working :(

Just in case, is the same for htc phones?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Sl4sher:
Great looking taskbar, but I'm missing the new e-mail icon in the enlarged taskbar that drops down. It comes up as a blank space, if I push it outlook comes up. I'm on a 23529 CDMA TP2.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
Could you post a screenshot of the standard WinMo icon for the popup "new email"?

I don't really know in which dll file it should be, I'll have to browse them again.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Sl4sher:
It appears to be outres.192.dll, 32512.ico and 32513.ico (new email and new sms respectively), I'm gonna try adding them to your file from the one that came with my SYS and will let you know.

Edit: Yup, that's what it is. Attached is a screenshot of what I'm talking about, and a zip of the 23529 outres.192.dll and yours with the 2 icons added. (Also the Ev icon isn't skinned as you can see.)
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
Thanks a lot, I had an outdated outres file^^ you saved me some time! I'll fix it as soon as possible (really busy these days)

Also, any idea where the Ev icon might be?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Sl4sher:
It's in tapres.192.dll according to FInixNOver's tutorial but I can't open your's in restorator to confirm, sorry.

Anyway, thanks for your time making this great theme.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
could u link me the tutorial? I did everything just browsing the dlls and modifiyng old custom taskbars so it may be usefull to read something more^^
[Windows Mobile Themes] Sl4sher:
Sure,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=437307

And that cab does give me a skinned 3G icon. Though if I may comment it's a little hard to read, otherwise real cool.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
anyway I think I already changed all the Ev icons in the tapres dll... so it may be that I forgot to upload the updated cab or that I have an old tapres file too^^

can u try the cab in my post above? (it's a version I didn't release yet couse of lack of time to complete it^^ but it should have the Ev icons)
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
you get the 3G red icon, right?

the idea of the original theme is red for "not connected" and green for "connected"

the problem is that for CDMA I could find just one icon (and it's used for both status)... maybe a "generic" non colored icon may be better?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Sl4sher:
That would be just fine with me. :)

Or even green, my phone just hides the icon when it's not connected, or puts up 1x if EVDO is not available.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
Btw, in the cab above I also modified the PopUp icons but I wasn't happy enough with the result yet to release it.

Do u have any suggestion? (they look too dark to me on my phone screen, while they looked fine on my laptop screen^^)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Sl4sher:
I actually like the darker green in this version on everything but the clock, it looses it's details (hands and hour ticks, maybe if those were darker too?). Also the bottom of the battery icon washes out against the background, but the green top looks cool. Comm icons look much better.

LCD's are funky like that, but then again, I don't wanna carry a CRT in my pocket :P.
[Windows Mobile Themes] :
Your taskbar is absolutely the best one I've ever seen, it's amazingly nice! It does sound like you used outdated dll versions though, is it based on 23529 or which ROM version dlls do you use?
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
Thanks, but I'd like to remind that I just modified the original Dusk Taskbar by adding some icons here and there and by modifying the battery icons. All credits to grogorz!

It's mostly based on 23518 dll files, but some may be a bit older (as it happened for the outres above)
[Windows Mobile Themes] LeTo08:
Nice work again!

If i can just suggest something, it will be better if you replace the start icon too for old build 21*** please. like in original dusk taskbar.

It would be very nice :D.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
Did you try the WM 6.5 cab I released some days ago?

I got reports from Omnia2 users that it's now working at all but I wanted to know about HTC users too just in case (before flashing my phone back to 6.5 to see what was wrong myself^^)
[Windows Mobile Themes] LeTo08:
mmm don't remember so i will try again :p

Can test only on my tosh actually maybe on my HTC if my wife want :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] LeTo08:
So after instal and soft reset, my start icon have missing. It's black, there is no start icon now and when i press on start text, device freeze and need to remove battery for restart it.

Something is wrong.

Isn't possible to use the dll from dusk original taskbar for the start icon??
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
the problem is, I can't find a shellres.192.dll file from the original wm6.5 dusk taskbar that can be edited/opened... all of them (and I tried a lot of versions) looks empty and I have no idea why.

so I made it from the original dll but I don't understand why it's not working and it's not easy to test not having a phone to try it myself^^
[Windows Mobile Themes] LeTo08:
ok and the dll of your battery icon in the original dusk taskbar is it possible?
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
if you replace my shellres dll with the original dusk shellres.192.dll, you might lose the volume icons I made but I'm not sure... if you try it let me know:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
could u try to replace with the attached dll? (remove the .zip extension)
[Windows Mobile Themes] LeTo08:
My 1st test was=

-Exctract your shellres.192.dll for add in original dusk tasbar.cab

try to instal: "error files is not signed" or something similar.

Same error with you dll.zip

Edit= It seem your dll is not signed. strange.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
the only thing I can think of is that I have problems to sign files with Windows7 (just installed it one week ago)...

guess I'll have to install a winXP partition or something
[Windows Mobile Themes] LeTo08:
Arf damn W7 :p

And i have never try to sign any dll.

I will learn :D

Thanks for the help and we keep contact ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
You can read this post at Modaco http://www.modaco.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=294803&view=findpost&p=1174261

just read the part about signing files (and download the signing application itself)
[Windows Mobile Themes] LeTo08:
Thanks. i will try soon.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
could u try to replace using this attached shellres.192.dll? (unzip it first)
[Windows Mobile Themes] LeTo08:
Hi, it's the same: file not signed :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
:(

no more idea what's going on... I tried to sign it on a friend winXP laptop but still no good :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
can u try the attached wm6.5 cab?
[Windows Mobile Themes] LeTo08:
Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiihaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !!!! Well done it work !! :D

It's the same cab from 1st post ?? or you did something ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
I just made a cab with the last shellres.192.dll file I attached above... couse at Modaco some users confirmed it working so I made the cab just in case^^

Happy it's finally working! I updated the first post with the working cab, if some more people confirm it working it could be the final release so I'll work on the Blue version soon^^

So anyway the issue for me is that I can't sign files with the new updated certificates to 2015... dunno why, I reverted back to the old 2009 certificates (and changed the date in my laptop^^) and it seems to be working on Win7 too...:confused::eek:
[Windows Mobile Themes] LeTo08:
lol i can't make cab too :rolleyes:

so very happy and thanks a lot for your work.

Now i have dusk taskbar with only your battery icon.

That only what i need.

Perfect thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Themes] omahajs:
Very nice looking taskbar. Thanks for the work. I'm using a VZW TP and no matter which CDMA fix I install my EVDO Icon stays the basic white box with an "Ev" - it's not skinned. Any way to fix this?

Thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
I may try to fix it if you can link me to some taskbar which are working correctly for your phone
[Windows Mobile Themes] omahajs:
This is the one I use cooked in to my rom. Good luck:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=562251
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
lol, after spending some time comparing the dlls I remembered that I never officially uploaded the newest version of wm6.5.x taskbar with the Ev icon... that's why it wasn't working for u^^

you can give it a try http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=281026&d=1266182932

but I'm gonna release a final version soon
[Windows Mobile Themes] omahajs:
Thanks for the quick work. Yes, now I have a red icon with 3G (not Ev, or 1x like normal CDMA), but it's better than the stock graphic.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
As I'm not able to make 2 different icons for Ev ("connected" and "not connected"), do you think a non colored icon would be better than the red/green standard icons of the Dusk theme?
[Windows Mobile Themes] omahajs:
Why is the icon currently red? That threw me off since all of the other icons were green.

I would think a matching icon with green "Ev" would work then blank when 1x? Can that be done?
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
The standard dusk theme is green for "connected" and red for "not connected"

But for Ev there is just one icon to edit in the dll files (no idea how it can show the 2 status on cdma with only one icon...) so I decided to make it colorless (3G).

I updated the wm6.5 cab in first post, can someone give it a try to confirm me if everything is working?
[Windows Mobile Themes] patience88:
Testing it now. Will report asap

edit. seems to be ok. haven't had any problems till now.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
Final version for wm 6.5.x (modified all popup icons and fixed the missing popup messaging icons)

Please let me know if there are any more wrong icons on both WM6.5.x and 6.5
[Windows Mobile Themes] Max_Terrible:
This might be a tad-little off topic, but where can I get the dialer-skin (phone canvas skin?) that you have in the screenshot in the first post? The one with the black keys and all? That would really complete my theme which consists completely of stuff that you made and it looks absolutely awesome! Thanks for the great work, too :D

EDIT: Check my signature for my specific ROM and OS, if that helps or makes a difference.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
That's a skin for WinMo standard Dialer (not HTC dialer).

Anyway, if u need it, u can find it in the Themes topics in my signature
[Windows Mobile Themes] Max_Terrible:
I've downloaded that cab and installed it, but it doesn't make a difference. Any idea on how I might go about disabling the HTC dialer?

Thanks for the help.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
Never had a HTC phone so I dont know how to disable the HTC dialer... maybe it's some registry tweak. You should ask in device specifi subforum I think.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
wm 6.5.x in Blue released

please let me know if everything is working (most of all for the CDMA fix which i can't try myself)
[Windows Mobile Themes] :
hey tecchan can you make a red task bar instead of blue with the default wm6.5 white flag? would go perfect with my rom =D
[Windows Mobile Themes] siulmagic:
i converted the cab to oem package, but when i reflash and get to home screen sound, battery and clock icons are not skinned

Thanks Tacchan. Blue looks pretty good!
[Windows Mobile Themes] tictac0566:
Love that modified 6.5 taskbar, it´s working great... and now I just discovered

that very tempting blue version... is there a plan to make it for 6.5, too?

BTW, installed it on HD2, Xperia X1 as well as on Omnia 2, a great enhancement for all devices...
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
sorry, I have really no idea how the conversion to OEM packages works... if someone has any suggestion what/how to fix I'll do it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
yes, I'll release it soon
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
Can someone test the wm6.5 blue version?

[Windows Mobile Themes] jomaga:
Hi!

I have just installed your taskbar in my rom based in sys syp 28230, and it's working great so far. Great job!

I like a lot your icons but I prefer to keep the default wm6.5 wait cursor. It's possible to get it back or it's part of the taskbar dll?

thanks a lot!
[Windows Mobile Themes] 99mike99:
Hi blue bar works good and all is well

Thanks for a great taskbar:D
[Windows Mobile Themes] jomaga:
Solved, Dont worry, found in another post from xda

If you go into windows and delete shellres.192.dll and then soft reset it gets replaced with an original from the root of the ROM with the defaul wait cursor
[Windows Mobile Themes] fxdadbrowser:
Hi, Love that blue taskbar in my TP.

Thanx for the release mate. keep it up.
[Windows Mobile Themes] LeTo08:
Sorry for not see green wait cursor last time.

With your last cab, it's blue and perfect now. Very nice thanks a lot.

[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
That way you'll also lose some icons which are included in the shellres.192.dll
[Windows Mobile Themes] bonsaiboyz:
having problems downloading ..is there another link ?

tried all the different versions but no joy ...looking for blue 6.5 version tho
[Windows Mobile Themes] jomaga:
Yes, I noticed that. The phone signal strenght icon has gone

Cauold you tell me where is the wait cursor in shellres192.dll, so I can modify it with reshacker?

thanks!
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
The cursor is made of the first 16 bitmaps in shellres.192.dll
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
Today I found the OEM .dll file (from Samsung) which contains the BT icons for Omnia2 and, after replacing the icons there, I added it to the wm6.5 and wm6.5.x taskbar cabs (both blue and green). So that we won't need anymore to use the BTnotifier.exe on Omnia2.

I'd like some Omnia2 user to test it (mostly the wm6.5 version) and some HTC/etc user to test if the added dll may cause any problems to their phones.

Also a question for non-Samsung users: how many of you needs the BTnotifier.exe to display the BT icons?

Atteched below the new cabs.

Volume Control showing default Windows graphics

Hi,

I've installed dusk blue for 6.5.x on HTC Rhodium with Rhodium_AF Sense 2.5_23540 ROM and it destroys HTC's volume control overlay :-(

When you hit volume rocker button the default windows volume controls are displayed instead of HTC's :(

[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
Did you try this?

Let me know if it works and/or if you lose the icons on the taskbar
[Windows Mobile Themes] gmdata:
I can't delete this.:confused:
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
Could you guys (having problems with HTC volume control) try these cabs? (just the green version for testing atm)

If someone who had no problem before could try them too, it would be very nice!
[Windows Mobile Themes] gmdata:
Now volume control is on HTC, but when you have incoming call and push up and down volume control the ring doesn't stop. WM 23541,Manila version: 2.5.20121412.1
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
T_T

Could you maybe link me any taskbar that you tried on your phone and doens't give you any problems with volume control? So I can have a look at the dll and try to fix it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] gmdata:
Your cabs on the first page work well, don't have a problem when is ringing, only volume control is from windows. I think that there is no 100% working taskbar. May be wm 23541 is quite new.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
mmm, could you maybe extract and upload somewhere the htcvolumecontrol.dll coming with your ROM?
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
Could you also try to see how this new cab works? Thanks:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] gmdata:
Now everything is ok, except volume icon at taskbar, it doesn't changed.
[Windows Mobile Themes] gmdata:
Here it is.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
the file seems to be corrupted :(

did you extract it as I suggested you in PM?
[Windows Mobile Themes] gmdata:
Sorry, i wasn't saw your message. I didn't uninstall your taskbar. Hope now it is Ok.:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
Still corrupted :(

Could u try using the extractor utility?
[Windows Mobile Themes] gmdata:
Yes, i use Rom Extractor. I don't know why it is corrupted. I will extract it again. May be the previous taskbar is not fully uninstalled.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
Still no good :(

I can't open the resources

Hi,

I deleted HTCVolumeControl.dll - found this info on another thread I think, I lost the speaker icon (original windows white appeared after soft reset), so copied back the dll.

[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
Mmm, deleting the HTCVolumeControl.dll seems to work properly (without losing icons) just for some ROM...

newer ROMs seem to need updated HTCVolumeControl.dll file, could you maybe extract it from your ROM? (after uninstalling any taskbar)
[Windows Mobile Themes] radgid:
Original HTCVolumeControl.dll

The original HTCVolumeControl.dll
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
Ok, I tried to make a new cab using the newest htcvolumecontrol.dll

Could someone try if it's working now? and if it has any problems for people with older ROMs?
[Windows Mobile Themes] radgid:
One happy little bunny

I've tried the one for wm 6.5.x and it works, keeping the volume control overlay intact. Thanks a lot for that, you're star! :)

Do you have a time to update your blue taskbar as well?

Maybe you'll be kind enough to enlighten me a bit:

Before your post I have tried to fix it by myself -

- opened the original htcvol*.dll in the resource editor and replaced only 129/130/131 icons with the attached speaker icons (can you recommend any free dissasembler to see the functions available in dlls?)

- copied the modified dll into the Windows dir

- soft-reset and sipped a bit of coffee

- but it did not work :( (possibly I did not sign it properly - found only WM5 signer on the web)

R.
[Windows Mobile Themes] radgid:
Speaker icons

Zipped speaker icons
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
As soon as some more people confirm the above cabs to be working (also on older ROM in particular) I'll fix the Blue version too.

About the .dll editing, most of the pain comes with signing the files. Especially if you are on Windows7, you need to change the date of you system to 2009 as the new certificates aren't working on win7 (at least for me).

Anyway I'll post my sign tool when I get back to my home PC.
[Windows Mobile Themes] patience88:
Installing the 6.5.x version now.

Will report my findings
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
thanks for testing.

is your ROM a "older" version?

Need Help!

Hello, I love your blue version and have been waiting for this! Only thing I am trying to change is the CDMA Signal Bars I have been using this taskbar forever and love the Signal indicators that come with it. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=1396979&postcount=3

I extracted the CDMA dll and extracted the ICONs and attempted to color them blue I will post what i had after 2 hours! Not that great but not bad for my first mod. Problem was signing it after replacing the resources in the dll. I am posting a zip with the original and My modded one, maybe you could do better that me I was using Gimp and I am a n00b bigtime when it comes to graphics. I tried just dropping into my windows dir without signing and I get the stock look, so maybe you could lend a hand signing, and maybe you could add this or better yet refine it and have it as an option for CDMA signals.

I Tried MSignner in my XP VM and go this error when attempting to sign it. Even after changing my date to 11/01/09.

Error: Signing Failed. Result = 80070057, (-2147024809)
[Windows Mobile Themes] patience88:
No, but I thought any testing can help or not?

By the way everything seems to be ok?

Keep up the great work!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
Of course any testing helps me a lot!:)

Just I wanted to make sure the fix for the newest ROM was working for older ROMs too, so still looking for someone to test it^^
