Hehe okay I will.. The smudges should all be gone, I hope I didn't miss anything...!

If anyone using the new phcanOverbmp.dll discovers some errors, please make a note of exactly what percentage your battery is at (e.g. 96% or 17%) and post it here so that I can check it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dark Ninja:
haha, looks like an android ninja.. awsome
[Windows Mobile Themes] Emrulez:
Dark Ninja these are the bugs I was talking about.

Before:

After installing QVGA taskbar:

The second bug also happens when answering a call the softkeys look the same.

Hope you can fix it
[Windows Mobile Themes] jpworld9719:
6.1 taskbar works great, looking forward to updates
[Windows Mobile Themes] BB88:
Hey longice and DN, take a look at Post 3, it has the .ico files of the signal bars. I know nothing though, so I'm not sure if it's do-able. Thanks for your hard work!
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
In which thread?
[Windows Mobile Themes] BB88:
Sorry, post 3 in this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=437307&highlight=taskbar+icon
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dalek_Caan:
So far everything I have read supports this info. On GSM it seems the bars are not skinable, in the Tsowen thread they sate that the bars are rendered in some way the prevents it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
Crap. I missed one icon when fixing the smudge issue :mad: I've attached a fixed phcanOverbmp.dll and the fixed icon (1039.ico) in the zip file. I'm really sorry, guys!!!

Oh yes, that post :p Thanks, but the problem is that the icons which shows the signal icons there are the LargeTitleBar.dll and we don't use that on our diamonds :( So editing that file unfortunately won't change a thing...

Yeah, it seems there's a possibility of skinning the bars on CDMA and not on GSM, but I don't know for sure...
[Windows Mobile Themes] BB88:
I see. I think we can possibly do something with the background, or 64-71.ico in phcanOverbmp.dll, or 4674/4675/4681/4682.ico in shellres.192.dll so that it looks more like android. Even a tiny green dot or an tiny android-bot that replace the original "tower". What do you guys think? Sorry for asking too much.
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
No need to apologize, keep coming with ideas ;) But this is DN's project, I'm just doing some very small pieces in adopting it to 6.1...

I thought 64-71.ico was kinda android-like already? And I think they override some of those icons in shellres.192, but I'm not sure about that...
[Windows Mobile Themes] dressanderc:
Yes, SDKCerts is installed. My build # is: 21849.5.0.63

Let me know if I can do anything to help.
[Windows Mobile Themes] BB88:
Looks like all the .ico was already modified to android-like, but they were not displayed. Maybe we need to find the "background" file. Let me as around.
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
AFAIK it's not possible to have a background on taskbars in WM 6.1. But please please prove me wrong ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] BB88:
It looks like 4675.ico in shellres.192.dll is the one that has the top left corner "background". Check the attached file extracted from Laser Inc. Taskbar here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4307427&postcount=4

and this (full background):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=631978

UPDATE: I have replace the icon from 4681 to 4675. The result isn't the greatest because the bar doesn't really match, but it's better than empty.

With a small mod to make it matches better. Hope that DN doesn't mind.
[Windows Mobile Themes] varitimos84:
for first time good job...but needs some fixes...check the errors...
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dalek_Caan:
ok i'll bite .. what errors?:confused::confused:
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dalek_Caan:
looks pretty good :D, of course in the end if it is the look you were after than it is all good :cool:
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
You gotta get the last update - there the smudges around the battery icons are fixed. And you have to install the volume fix (found in the second post, I think) as well to get the volume icons working. Except for that everything seems fine, doesn't it?
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
Yep it looks good. But the problem that I encountered, is that you are not able to draw the icon all the way down and to the right - the icons which you can edit don't cover the entire area that the signal bars use. You'll have two or three pixels at the bottom which can't be done anything about, same problem on the right hand side. Have a look:
[Windows Mobile Themes] tebaomang:
Awesome. Thank you so much

I see you did not provide taskbar color fix for QVGA (I did try your cabs and my taskbar background changed to a glossy blue one - something i often see when the taskbar background image cannot be found or displayed) so I made myself one, changed the color a little bit so that it looks much more like what I saw on HTC's android device.

Here is the screenshot on my HTC Blue Angel.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dalek_Caan:
I am not able to click your screenshot to get a look at it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] BB88:
Yeah, so I think it could be better to remove the background and just use the "tower"
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dark Ninja:
Nice work :)

yeah same here

the background is already removed in the wm6.5 versions, i think i know how to skin the wm6.1 bars, although im not too sure itl work.. I think what youve done above (change the background added a bit off green) is possibly the best option just to make it blend in with the rest of the icons, as it looks messed just standing out white.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Emrulez:
Dark Ninja any idea why this happens?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dark Ninja:
Sorry, i completely missed your post! Just realised, the icons below are from one of the dlls, il see if ican change em, also about the dialer, it enables because of the phcanoverbmp.. Im sorry but i cannot help u on the dialer :( its the htc version..
[Windows Mobile Themes] Emrulez:
OW oke, so U can fix the QVGA bugs? And so there is no way to keep the default dialer?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dark Ninja:
Not 100% but I think I know what's wrong, with the dialer it should only show up when your phone is off (or sim card not in etc) it should be default when your actually using the phone.. Am i right?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Emrulez:
Nope it shows even when I use the phone with sim card
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dalek_Caan:
Just my two cents worth because i liked the sound of the just "tower look". Just a preliminary attempt what do you guys think.

Sorry to interfeer but that dialer just comes for u to enter the pin... after that the dialer comes normal/default.

Dark Ninja did u notice that in the calendar the top bar gets buggy also? The home icon is not there and the next day icon comes to the left.

The other bug is the bottom bar with second button (from left) generally comes with the same icon as in menu button?!?!

Hope u can gently fix this for QVGA users.

Thank You Very Much in advance
[Windows Mobile Themes] surenz:
Am I missing something or my battery percentage is showing 1% less than the actual in v5 icons ?

i.e I fully charged the phone and it is showing me 99% in the place of 100%. I checked everywhere and it shows me 100% except in the android taksbar battery icon.

If that matters my phone is Samsung Omnia II ;)

thanks in advance for the check, Dark Ninja :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dark Ninja:
Are you sure? this shouldnt be the case..

Nice, looks good.. I removed the background for wm6.5+ version, just to make it look more like the android version.. as for wm6.1 i dont think skinning the bars is possible.. No wm6.1 taskbars that i have seen have them skinned.

Yeah i think that problem is due to a defected dll, il try get hold of one of the latest dll's so that would fix the problem.. :D Also as you said that the dialer only appears to enter the pin, thats what i meant.. That normal behavious, i dunno why its not the same for Emrulez?

I would reccomend using V6, but if you dont want to go to these registries and make sure the values match:

HKLM\Security\Resover\Bitmaps

Basedll = phcanoverbmp.dll

BaseID = 0

BatteryIconStart = 1001

BatteryIconLevels = 102

Also the key "BatteryIconLevels = (dword) 65"

BatteryIconLevels = 102

This should fix it, regards
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dalek_Caan:
yeah i like the way you have it looking like android myself .. i was just chiming in on something i thought for 6.1 since the plain white is kind of bland and cause i was bored :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] BB88:
I just found that after installing the Volume Fix 20xx, my side-volume keys are not working. What is 19xx and 20xx? My ROM uses SENSE 2.5 VGA 2012 so I thought 20xx should be fine. But then i have disabled SENSE and using ThrottleLauncher now.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Emrulez:
You guys are right. I mis understood. Its only like that in the pin screen.

Hope to see the fix soon :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] BB88:
This is my latest mod for the WM6.1 signal bar background
[Windows Mobile Themes] surenz:
Yes that fixed the problem, to be more precise the last setting that was 101 levels :) Thanks and keep going develop your perfect taskbar ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] PhysX:
hey there everyone

ive made it. my wm6.1 version should work fine... volume control is now working and i used BB88 signal bars background (thx for that).

and to make the android look complete heres a fiting splash and welcome screen

pls give me some feedback...

greets
[Windows Mobile Themes] Fedr0:
What about a WVGA version? :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] PhysX:
the splash screen should work for wvga too, afaik
[Windows Mobile Themes] BB88:
Very nice work. However, I think it has the scribble around the battery icon that was from the original version. Also, would u mind to do one version with the other battery with the % inside the battery? I think it aligns a bit better. Thanks alot!
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
Sorry about that, I forgot to link the image :p Click here and you'll find the image. See the red lines which marks the silhuette of the signal bars. It is not possible to make these silhuettes appear on the right hand side and bottom of the signal bars...
[Windows Mobile Themes] PhysX:
oh damn... now i see it!

this weekend im quite busy, but maybe during the next week ill make one with the new battery and maybe the new droid start button...if someone would like to have it
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
But how would that work on a white taskbar background? Have you managed to make the background cover the signal bars on all sides? My issue has been the right hand side and the bottom, as you see in the above screenshot...
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dalek_Caan:
That issue may be tied to the way the bars are rendered which prevents them from being edited, and is interfering as in your screen shot .

As you said about the white taskbar I would say either a white version would be needed also unless you want to see the black box, or an icon on a transparent background just to have something there to pretty up the bars a little
[Windows Mobile Themes] BB88:
It looks like the signal bar is rendered beyond the normal icon area.
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
Yep, that was my experience as well. Therefore we need to find a way to mess with the signal bars themselves. It won't be a good result trying to add some kinda layer or silhuette... Sometimes I just hate WM6.1 :p
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dalek_Caan:
You would be a hero if you found a way to mess with the bars.:D

I have looked through quite a few posts from many taskbar creators and no one has found a way yet.
[Windows Mobile Themes] julian2596:
thanks man your stuff works for my samsungjack now it look like a android device
[Windows Mobile Themes] BB88:
I remember reading a thread here hex-editing the file itself to make something transparent. Couldn't find it now.
[Windows Mobile Themes] koert17:
No, that was to make the taskbar background transparent, just like wm 6.5.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kyhan190:
WM 6.1 for the battery (%) try to make it.

WM 6.1 version please. The Bluetooth icon should appear in 6.1.:D
[Windows Mobile Themes] funghetto:
many problems on samsung gt-i8000

I've got the WM 6.5 version ...

the android taskbar function very well, the Bluetooth icon is not changed.

When I click on an icon on the taskbar, I get the larger screen of windows and can not android. how displays the clock with battery?

When appears the battery the clock disappears.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dalek_Caan:
On 6.5 you can't have the clock and battery at the same time
[Windows Mobile Themes] slash_5150:
hi ive a small problem here. i installed "Dark Ninja White Theme WM6.5.cab" for my acer neotouch wm6.5.

the white looks nice but the word 'Start' next to the start icon is also in white so i cant see it...
[Windows Mobile Themes] S3BAZ10:
hello i love your theme i just have a quick question?

is thier a way to make the font color on the taskbar to look black instead of white?

SEE PIC TO SHOW WHAT I MEAN THANKS IN ADVANCEE
[Windows Mobile Themes] srgudhka:
change you system font color
[Windows Mobile Themes] arashi:
First post of this topic has "For the black colour headings for WM6.5 Theme"Dark Ninja Color Patch.cab""
[Windows Mobile Themes] TronC:
Hi,

I've installed the V2 for 6.5.x. White theme.

The theme itselfs works, but it messed up my file explorer :( I had it finger friendly (bigger than normal) but now its just as small as it was with WM6.1

De-istalling it doesn't fix it ..:(

It also slowes down WM 6.5 popup menu's
[Windows Mobile Themes] midnitefreakin:
@ developer

i tried ur android taskbar with white theme, but with taskbar the white theme dsnt seem to work. it appears as default glossy taskbar light grey in colour. though it is working abs fine with other custom taskbars.

kudos to u guys!

cheers!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Emrulez:
Any progress on the QVGA fixed taskbar?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dark Ninja:
Try this:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\Menu\BarFnt]

"CS"=dword:00000000

"Ht"=dword:00000258

"HtInPts"=dword:00000001

"It"=dword:00000000

"Nm"="Tahoma"

"Wt"=dword:00000258

Increase them as you like to make your font bigger or smaller

Most of the time it fixes when you switch themes, so go back to say HTC black.tsk, then change back to DarkNinja white.tsk.. Im not too sure why it shouldnt work though?

Third post, just now :D

Updated WM6.1 (longice) and QVGA (dandnj71) In third post.
[Windows Mobile Themes] S3BAZ10:
oo ok thanks =]
[Windows Mobile Themes] S3BAZ10:
and how do you do that?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dark Ninja:
you answered yourself in the post above :p
[Windows Mobile Themes] S3BAZ10:
lol true, but imeant if there was like a utilitie for that
[Windows Mobile Themes] Emrulez:
Thanx just installed, softkey is fixed, pinscreen is still the same (not fixed) and there are still some icons unskinned. and if I may make a suggestion, could the battery icon be wider?

thanx in advance
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dalek_Caan:
I am pretty sure that is the pinscreen you get with all the bars . so it is not so much not fixed as much as it is not going to be changed :)

Just curious what is still not skinned?

There is no more room available to make the battery any wider. It is a limitation of the size icon needed
[Windows Mobile Themes] Emrulez:
ow ok, I still dont understand why the pinscreen changes.

The comm manager icon for example when turning on wifi, and notifications icons for example when battery is low.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Mpa4Hu:
Hey, i donloaded WM6.5 version (that i have), everything is fine but start menu icon is old. i mean default HTC start menu. can i change it manually? or what i must do?
[Windows Mobile Themes] BB88:
@dandnj71, which dll/ico should I look at for the percentage mod?

UPDATE: nevermind, I found it, it's in phcanOverbmp.dll -> 1001 - 1102
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
And make sure you have sdkcerts installed.

Lovely, gonna check it out! :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] Mpa4Hu:
it do not helps! i changed theme and back and a had installed sdkcerts
[Windows Mobile Themes] dbrandusa:
so the home screen is only for touchflo 2.5? Is there anything like that for touchflo 2.1?
[Windows Mobile Themes] srgudhka:
i think it is possible to make the batter wider coz i the first qvga version they were a bit wider

first version

version 2
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dalek_Caan:
I am going to have to disagree with you on that. The Battery icons with the percentage were simply made taller, no room to make them wider
[Windows Mobile Themes] joselb:
is there a way i can get the slider to look like the taskbar
[Windows Mobile Themes] Gerabit:
QVGA taskbar new version

Dark Ninja and dandnj71, Thank you for the new version of taskbar for QVGA devices!

With breef test everything seems very well now!

Would like to make a request altought :rolleyes: is it possible to release the same taskbar but with simple battery (without numbers) like it was on first version? Would apreciate, thank you in advance! In my modest opinion it stays more simple and if you need to know the right percentage we check in tools... cause with the numbers in QVGA we almost don't see the battery icon... just my two cents!

If u can do my "simple request"... thank you both again!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Emrulez:
Besides the bugs I mentioned earlier the softkey bug is till present at for example the dialer.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dark Ninja:
Attached:)

Which slider? Manila?

Hmm, Il try fix that although im not too sure. I dont have a qvga device so i cant work my way round it all.. Il try dig ot my Wizard for this LOL

Regards
[Windows Mobile Themes] Emrulez:
Thanx looking forward to it, its really not usable with those bugs :p

P.S: Will you do your other taskbar in QVGA aswell? Like that one allot ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] julian2596:
you taskbar works for windowstandard device but only the battery and not that good but gave it try to see if it works
[Windows Mobile Themes] joselb:
Which slider? Manila?

Regards[/QUOTE]

Yea
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
This is a taskbar. The Manila/Sense slider is a totally different kind of graphics and with a completely different function. But of course it is all about bitmaps, so if you want you are free to start edit manila files. But it's a very different process and alot of work...

Then I haven't got any tips right out of the box, sorry. You did uninstall other taskbars before installing this one? Make sure you follow all the steps in the post explained by DarkNinja.

And by the way, you are sure your device is running WM 6.5? Cause the white taskbar will display the results you are describing if you are on WM 6.1! I will try to have a good solution for 6.1 devices by the end of next week (DN, ye be 'warned' ;) ).

What version of windows are you using? If you are using 6.1 or later it should all work as long as you follow the steps in the first posts.
[Windows Mobile Themes] drvon:
Any update on the android taskbar? Really looking forward to it!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dark Ninja:
Sorry guys, I just got around the network bars, it has four bars in real but only 3 show up..

il have two versions probably 5 and 3 bars.. not sure yet.. But thanks for the offer Kamill I appreciate it! qvga is really taking the -- though lol. Ive finished the w/vga version and it seems to look great so far. Im hopefully going to release tommorow, but no promises. Latest monday, fingers crossed.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Irishpride:
Great news! One question, is the QVGA going to be released tomorrow(or Monday) or just the W/VGA? Thanks again for the work, one thing Android really got right was the clean looking taskbar, glad someone is bringing it to WM.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Irishpride:
Sorry, double post!
[Windows Mobile Themes] stylus1828:
Same problem here, but on Omnia GT-i8000.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dark Ninja:
are you using wm6.5 with the start menu before you installed at the top or at the bottom?

@Irishpride

Yeah I wanna release em together.. could someone whos using qvga (htc) please post there phcanOverbmp.dll? thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] stylus1828:
I'm using wm 6.5.5 build 23529. Dark ninja theme works ok. But dark ninja theme + taskbar does not work.

I would really like to use the taskbar and the Icons that i get in the start menu.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dark Ninja:
hmm..thats not meant to happen:\ i think i need to include some sort of setup file.. il try find out the casue of this..
[Windows Mobile Themes] stylus1828:
How about a cab. with the icons that you have on the start menu... the black ones... :) ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dark Ninja:
yeah, although as u said they are the problem for your installation right? il work on trying to fix it
[Windows Mobile Themes] Irishpride:
If you can let me know how to get the phcanOverbmp.dll, I'll be happy to get it for you.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dark Ninja:
If you do have it, it should be in windows directory.. use tcmd to paste. If you dont have on there let me know, coz im not too sure if there is one for qvga :\
[Windows Mobile Themes] Irishpride:
I looked through the windows directory and did not see it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dark Ninja:
Thanks for that appreciate it, il just make it incase, could u test it for me maybe tomorrow when its made, as i dont have a qvga device? pm me if you wont mind..
[Windows Mobile Themes] overjjrk:
Using your white theme right now, nice work! Can't wait to check out the Android taskbar, looks great.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dark Ninja:
qvga version is taking way too long, i think i may have to release it at a later date ^.^
[Windows Mobile Themes] jug6ernaut:
i would be happy with vga only xD
[Windows Mobile Themes] Irishpride:
OK, whenever it's ready and you need me to test, just send a pm.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dark Ninja:
Thanks, yeah i will pm.. i jus hope i finish this qvga one soon, coz itl be better released together..
[Windows Mobile Themes] impreZzA:
Hey,

cant expect ur release :)

All we need is Wvga :D

I hope it will work well on my Hd2!

How long do we have to wait ? Sry, for being impatient!
[Windows Mobile Themes] M_T_M:
Quick question!!

Where can I get the same white background from the picture on post #1? I did everything by the book and still have my same background. :confused:

I'm using 6.5.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ZetaLau:
it is not work on my QVGA wm6.1 device.....

the icon is changed, but the bar is not changed.
[Windows Mobile Themes] nzxtneo:
Yeah, I am looking for the white background as well.

Also, how can I replace the windows icon on the top taskbar to the Android robot?
[Windows Mobile Themes] M_T_M:
Don't take this personal, but.....do your best to read the whole post "before" installing. There are several "add ons" on page 1 to fix your issue :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
Which taskbar did you install? It's probably because the taskbar is not supposed to change your bar either, but only the icons. The bar itself changes as you change the theme in today settings.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dalek_Caan:
you need to install the Manila theme as well to get the same look as in the first post
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
THIS IS TO EVERYONE:

Please explain what you have and haven't done (e.g. what taskbar and what addons you have installed) when asking questions and troubleshooting. This way it is easier to help you guys out. Screenshots are also highly recommended.

@Militz: You probably already got your answer from other users. The taskbar cab itself doesn't change your Sense background, so you gotta change it manually. You can find all DN wallpapers in this cab from post #3.
[Windows Mobile Themes] M_T_M:
Well...I tought that by saying that I did everything by the book, meaning following the instruction would be enough. I already downloaded that folder with the wallpapers and is not there. I do "try" to read and do research before bugging anyone :o
