vry cool workin... is it difficult 2 make a mask? can i do it with adobe pse?

anyways thxxx =)))
[Windows Mobile Themes] barsnica:
I just loaded on a Samsung Epix, I'm pretty sure its not VGA but still worked. The only icon not present is signal icon. Still looks great, Good Job!:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] m6silver:
50% done including folder icons....the difficult part are completed. should be releasing real soon.

any comments on the folders?
[Windows Mobile Themes] m6silver:
yes you can do it with adobe ps. not easy if you don't know how.... i did it once but forgotten now. ****...need to do another one for my new headset.:mad:
[Windows Mobile Themes] kaze80:
I must say "Good Job m6silver"! Hope to see more designs!
[Windows Mobile Themes] craco20:
hello friend, Can you put the files of the icons to replace them in the folder windows of the htc?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Valti:
m6silver, many thanks for the job!

one question - I use WM6.5 (from onkolog, full version), have installed your HTC taskbar.

Everything looks great except GSM mode - does not show whether it G or 3G or H...

any suggestions?

P.S. Sorry - that was my mistake, everything is OK, I did not try data connection :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] m6silver:
:)

Nope.... most icons reside in various .dll files.

onkolog rom are mostly lite version without HTC files and many icons reside in HTC phcanoverbmp.dll and bluetooth won't show also
[Windows Mobile Themes] zakariae:
many thanks for the taskbar icons :d my HD is almost perfect now !!
[Windows Mobile Themes] gfreek:
guys been there done that no success!!!:mad: I played with the taskmanager .dlls couple weeks back skinned the icon but it some how effects the stabilty of the taskmanager the icon loads on initial boot but then every now and then the taskmanager hangs!! ok maybe I've done something wrong but even bilbobrian who is a experianced taskbar skinner had no luck the workaround he found for his taskmanager icon was to install an older htc taskmanager build look here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=511671

I tried the same thing taking his older taskmanager build and skinning the icons to my liking but after installing it on my current miri's wm6.5 v19 rom the icon appears on first boot but then disappears and effects the stabilty of the taskmanager because of this I have decided against the idea of skinned taskmanager icon on my version of Brians wm6.5 taskbar version 5 untill someone figures out how to get it working with the latest htc taskmanager builds that come with all the current wm6.5 roms!

Anyhow m6silver good luck and let me know how you get on!;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Valti:
I use his latest full ROM WM 6.5, everything is fine with your taskbar, many thanks again!
[Windows Mobile Themes] weenween:
Please let me know if the power icon can display in 1% increments. If not, may I be so bold as to ask if you could help us make it so. Thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Themes] macrazof:
thank you so much :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] m6silver:
You are right gfreek. It was the same issue we talk about in some post which i forgotten where. I tried mystic cab and same issue as before. Sad!
[Windows Mobile Themes] m6silver:
Ok thats good news. :)

Yes battery is by 1% increment
[Windows Mobile Themes] roheelshah:
WOWwwww amazing work, hope the next ones out soon!
[Windows Mobile Themes] mrtyge:
My battery icon disappeared when I installed the taskbar. How do I get it back?
[Windows Mobile Themes] harry_dinh:
Just installed the MSN taskbar. It looks extremely beautiful but I still waiting for the Blackmetal, it's much more fantastic. Thank for your perfect work
[Windows Mobile Themes] m6silver:
1) Disable clock on taskbar

or

2)Install sdkcert, reinstall my taskbar. it will prompt you to remove old version do it and restart. If still same issue please provide me more info. which taskbar you have installed. what rom are you on
[Windows Mobile Themes] weenween:
Thank you brother.
[Windows Mobile Themes] losty-1H:
Black metal taskbar

You have any release date on BLACK METAL TASKBAR for windows mobile 6.5 ?

can't wait

regards
[Windows Mobile Themes] m6silver:
WM6.1 & 6.5 done. I'll be releasing it in 2 days time.... Testing it now. :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] weenween:
Any preview? Could not wait. Your icons are first rate.
[Windows Mobile Themes] dhanu1978shka14:
Waiting

WAITING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Themes] m6silver:
Thank you. Preview uploaded on 1st page..... not satisfied with folders. need redo. still checking for missing icons if any. :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] dhanu1978shka14:
Looks Great

Looks great mate except for folder icons as you said ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] David Balfour:
I'm a huge fan of TSowens taskbars he is very good at making cool icons and stuff but i thing on this one you have gone several steps up. The clarity is excellent keep up the great work :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] farqui:
m6silver - could you post up the wait cursors on their own ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Savok:
More than happy to test the cab, PM me if needed.
[Windows Mobile Themes] jooyyy:
exciting!

cant waiting for your new black metal taskbar.
[Windows Mobile Themes] m6silver:
Thank you.... I'm flattered :p

The wait cursor is inside shellres.192.dll with most of the other icons. Sorry Dude.
[Windows Mobile Themes] m6silver:
Black Metal up for test as you wish my friend. Just install over and it will prompt to remove old version. Please report finding cause I can't test all function. Folders are the hardest to skin if you read some thread back you'll understand.

I've redraw all the folders here

m6 Taskbar WM6.5 BM v1 HTC TEST.cab
[Windows Mobile Themes] hamkeng:
You don't have a testfile for us WM 6.1 users?

Love your work, but your present task bar is a bit too colorful to blend in with my theme. :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] djcedric:
this is really beautifull :eek:

very nice,thanks m6silver
[Windows Mobile Themes] m6silver:
As you wish. 6.1 posted at 1st page. have fun! :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] djcedric:
installed and works fine and is nice to!

look at the screenshots :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] m6silver:
Thanks djcedric, too bad in windows can't really see the fine details. All the icon so tiny! lol
[Windows Mobile Themes] mr.First:
m6silver

I installed taskbar with colour icons for WM6.1. And now I have small problem. Very big font in HTC Volume:(
[Windows Mobile Themes] djcedric:
that was my thought to icons right to not have to zigzag, it is now a white background without shadow to them in windows to make it work?
[Windows Mobile Themes] m6silver:
Your device is QVGA? I have tested on my diamond with VGA no problem. Please provide more info as what rom and device you use so I can help you trace the problem.
[Windows Mobile Themes] m6silver:
As you see the folders I created are all straight lines horizontally & vertically. for edge you can have 45 degree angle .... no shadows no slant or curve. Voila! :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] hamkeng:
Looking great. No bugs yet. :)

Maybe the HTC icon could have been a little "sharper"

The icons looks just fine.

Do you have a matching waiting cursor?

Good work!
[Windows Mobile Themes] mr.First:
I have official russian ROM ,1.37 build. VGA screen. GSM
[Windows Mobile Themes] djcedric:
is my opinion to :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] mr.First:
Yeah! Great Tasbar! I'm testing BlackMetalTaskbar.cab too on the my second device with wm6.5.

HTC icon - very cool!

waiting cursor - Could you change it?
[Windows Mobile Themes] m6silver:
Ok noted.... I'll try to sharpen more HTC logo.... and create a matching wait cursor soon.

are you able to copy out the original HTCVolumeControl.dll and send to me?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mr.First:
I'm so sorry... I can send original dll only tomorrow
[Windows Mobile Themes] craco20:
Can you put the files .dll to replace in the folder windows???? Thank you
[Windows Mobile Themes] Muur:
Is looking so cool....even better than the coloured one.

HTC logo is fine !!!

No bugs yet

Can't wait till the final release
[Windows Mobile Themes] losty-1H:
Thanks

Verry good work, thanks for sharing
[Windows Mobile Themes] weenween:
Fantastic piece of work.
[Windows Mobile Themes] m6silver:
Can you be more specific to what you want? What dll or icons you want replace??
[Windows Mobile Themes] mainsail:
Black Metal icons are realy cool but don´t work all icons in my HD on stock spanish rom 1.14. BT (also with WM standard dialer), Phone signal, Start logo.. Mb due to 0409 dlls (WWE). In Volume screen only appears Phone level, not System. It´s a pitty ´cause i like very much these icons..

Good work!

Frank
[Windows Mobile Themes] m6silver:
If you are able to send me your spanish "shellres.192.dll.????.mui" & "notify.dll.????.mui" I'll be able skin that for you. For WM Default Dialer I haven't make a cab yet. I'll do that after my final release.
[Windows Mobile Themes] y01s4c03:
i must say it is the best taskbar icon i ever have.

Nice work

but when i installed ur taskbar cab, my "Dusk Dialer" could not work anymore , what a pity....

is it some way to make them compartible?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mainsail:
Thanks man.. Start icon isn´t problem for me because i have a custom icon yet (HALL 2000). Only i need BT icon and phone signal appear with your style (now show in the original way). Also, i need that volume screen appears like old style (2 columnes). I´ll try this nigth to post screenshoots to show u. Thanks very much.

Frank :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] m6silver:
I too had problem with dusk dialer. Couldn't run excel when installed. But no problem using it with my taskbar. Could you try installing the dialer again over my taskbar and see if it works?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Pandemoniumone:
Great work here m6silver! I to ran into the issue with the dusk Rhodium dialer not showing after I installed your task bar. It also made my device run really slow, not sure why as of yet.

I'll try and install the dialer after the task bar to see if I get the same result. Which dialer are you using, the Topaz or the Rhodium?
[Windows Mobile Themes] m6silver:
You're on WM6.1 so there won't be signal bar, OK & X. These 3 icons can't be change. For BT Icon I have uploaded a cab at 1st post. HTC Volume control I've use the latest version so it can be switch from Manila/Setting/Sound to single or double control unless your Manila Setting doesn't have that setting. A screenshot world be good.
[Windows Mobile Themes] harry_dinh:
I have to say , your taskbar makes my HD perfect. Really thank for that fantastic work.

Big thank
[Windows Mobile Themes] m6silver:
I'm on Rhodium dialer, I tested it on another Diamond phone with topaz dialer with no issue at all. :confused:
[Windows Mobile Themes] mddjr01:
Unbelievable, these are great! I was wondering how do I get the system folders you have at the bottom of the picture (office, system, etc.) Thanks and a fantastic job!
[Windows Mobile Themes] m6silver:
In WM6.5 you'll hardly see it. Most are mask away with WM6.5 Start page which is also the programs page with its own icons. I wouldn't want to change that. You can see it if you use file explorer to explorer into windows/startmenu
[Windows Mobile Themes] Pandemoniumone:
Ok, that's what I was afraid of. Seems to be an issue just with the Rhodium dialer. Thanks for the feed back!
[Windows Mobile Themes] mddjr01:
Thanks, any chance that that will be a future project, making all the folder icons? They just look great, once again I love and use both of your sets, they are the best out there!
[Windows Mobile Themes] m6silver:
No what i mean is I'm on rhodium dialer tested no problem and also tested on topaz no problem
[Windows Mobile Themes] Pandemoniumone:
Oh...interesting. Do you have any of the other Dusk themes installed or is it just the Rhodium dialer? Maybe it has to do with a different part of G10's theme.
[Windows Mobile Themes] m6silver:
It will be much easier to skin wm6.5 start page....all icons are in png format and can be skin with high res with shadows! But what folders do you see in there? I only see games and office.
[Windows Mobile Themes] m6silver:
I'm on miri's v19 rom with default rhodium dialer. Only thing i can think of is dusk theme. you can uninstall either one to test which is giving the problem
[Windows Mobile Themes] jaypeev_9:
Man, the new Folders in Black metal Version is superb!!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] mddjr01:
I hope we are talking the same thing, I mean the start page with icons - settings, games. GPS, Today, Explorer, Office, Tools, System, Utilities, Tweaks. The ROM I am using today has good looking icons for those, but some ROM's do not so I have been using restart by Mr. Nick or Ginnias cab of glossy icons to change them. No big deal yours just lok sharp!
[Windows Mobile Themes] m6silver:
yes same thing. only different is yours been customized to have the other folders. Windows default only have Office, setting and Games. I can only skin these few.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Pandemoniumone:
Ok. Thanks again for the feed back, I'll see what I find!
[Windows Mobile Themes] jtoyz2:
will you create SE,MSN,VISTA etc icons after beta...thanks for your hard work
[Windows Mobile Themes] gazleyp:
Great task bar m6

Hey M6,Have been using metal for 24 hrs now and i have not experianced any problems thus far, am using NRGs 6.5 Rom.

How difficult would it be to do gold colored icons?

Thanks for all your efforts

:D
[Windows Mobile Themes] m6silver:
yup....more to come once finalize.
[Windows Mobile Themes] m6silver:
Since i have all the icons it won't be very difficult if using the same sets
[Windows Mobile Themes] JohnnyPA:
does your taskbar (not metal) work on an italian ROM?
[Windows Mobile Themes] PhysX:
best icon pack i have ever seen, the only thing i dont really like is the activsyc icon, it looks a bit low res...however, nice job and keep up the good work
[Windows Mobile Themes] n2daico:
Hi!

I got a problem after the installation: If I press the volume hardware keys, I cannot decide wheter to change the system volume or the ringtone volume....now it only says "volume". Is there a fix available?

Thanks for replying!

Nico
[Windows Mobile Themes] KayK:
refering to post #301, m6silver stated that he's using the new HTC volume control, so maybe that's why you no longer can change the system / ring volume seperately...

m6silver, i would like to install your black metal icons, but I'm still using the stock official ROM (1.18 WWE), i'm worry too if i install it i'll have the same problem as n2daico, do you think you could include a cab or something for the official stock ROM?
[Windows Mobile Themes] zzww5061688:
Thanks a lot.

But do not know why. Often the battery icon will disappear
[Windows Mobile Themes] Shival:
Nice Taskbar! Like it. I like the loading image too. Definantly beas the 6.1 image but I like 6.5's logo immensely.
[Windows Mobile Themes] m6silver:
I don't have the Italian shellres.192.dll files so for now it won't work.

It looks good to me.... but anyway I took it from the web & didn't change it since it look nice.

The new HTCvolumecotrol.dll I replaced support single & double control mode.

Try changing the following registry setting:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ HTC \ VolumeOverlay \ SimpleMode

change to 0

If you are afraid to lose the double control you can send me your htcvolumecontroll.dll file

If you are on WM6.1 and you enable clock in title bar your battery will goes on & off with the time. I only skin the battery not the way windows displaying it
[Windows Mobile Themes] zenkinz:
m6silver,

for your colored taskbar (i.e. not the metal black one), I noticed that it will create problem in Dutty's ROM, not sure about other custom rom. BAsically, if I open up Internet Explorer, and Windows Live, I wouldn't able to load up the camera. It says the camera cannot be initialised due to insufficient memory.

the same problem exists for your metal black taskbar as well. can you verify?
[Windows Mobile Themes] zzww5061688:
I don't enable clock in title bar .

The battery icon fell intermittently.

I think maybe the problem is probably the ROM

ROM is WM6.1 21051 CHINESE
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dwight2001:
Love the Black Metal Taskbar. Just a request.... how about the the Vista Start Button in Black Metal?

Thanks,

Dwight2001, in running 6.5
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rainbow86:
Love your work. But..!

First of all have to say your Black Metal theme is the best I have seen so far when it comes to taskbars. Even better then Tsowens and his are great.

But now I use dusk skins for my Touch Hd and I like it a lot dont want to change. I can install your taskbar but as soon as i have done it the Dusk Dialer does not show anymore and I cant get it back either. :(

Now to my question how can I fix this problem or maybe you have a solution to this because I love both the dusk skin and your Black Metal taskbar. :)

Hope you can fix this...

Thanks in advance and yet again A GREAT THEME!!!!!!!!!!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] n2daico:
Thanks for your reply! I don't have that key :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] 4D3:
Hi,

really like the black version, but i was wondering, instead of the HTC logo, can you release a version with the WinSQ style start logo?

Its much nice (IMO)

Thanks alot

MG
[Windows Mobile Themes] m6silver:
Dutty's 6.1 or 6.5? Please let me know so I can test it out.

Do you have the problem before installing my taskbar?

More start icon will come after I finalize the set. I need to redo the folders icon and maybe sync icons.

Ok I will install dusk theme and try everything out tonight. Will update you soon.

If you dare can you try using my registry for volume overlay. backup your original 1st. please let me know if it work.

VolumeOverlay.reg
[Windows Mobile Themes] m6silver:
I will..... after all problems are iron out 1st
[Windows Mobile Themes] Major_Sarcasm:
For those that don't want to modify their registries directly, I created a .cab file which modifies that single key quoted earlier:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ HTC \ VolumeOverlay \ SimpleMode

so that it is zero. If you want to switch back to a single volume control, simply uninstall the .cab file. This is the first .cab that I've created and it's a simple one! I've tested on my HD and it worked fine.

It does pretty much the same as the registry key that m6silver added in his previous post except that mine only modifies that single key, whereas his has a lot of additional entries that might change something you don't want changed (sorry m6, just trying to be helpful) ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] zenkinz:
Hi m6silver,

it's Dutty's 6.1, with his latest ROM V3.9
[Windows Mobile Themes] timstephens11:
I had problems with the coloured set both with dutty's 6.1 v3.7 and dusk rhodium dialer. windows live wouldn't start, the dialer wasn't displaying correctly and the files from this cab wouldn't delete to get back to the rom files.

I never got round to looking at the files but i wonder whether there's a difference in the original files that dutty's rom files don't like? I've had problems before with the notifications file when the modified taskbar file was a different original file to the rom and it wouldn't work with the newer rom but i was always able to just delete the problem file and then modify a copy of the original.

I'll try the metal version out on the 3.9v i'm on at the moment, although you have to explain to my wife why i'm comatosed in to my phone again if it doesn't work and i have to HR! Ahh, you just get stable and then something else comes along to **** about with! I can't imagine there's anyone here who actually has time for this yet we all waste hours typing on here and staring at our phones!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Johan Kraczmar:
HELP

Can somebody explain step by step how I can change this nice icons in my HD? Sorry but I have not experience with it.THX

ROM - Duttys HD V3.9 XT TURBO
[Windows Mobile Themes] mainsail:
sarcy's restore dual volume has worked for me. I have a stock 6.1 spanish rom. Now only i have problem with BT icon. sdkcert cab is installed but error of no certificates appear when i try to install BT icon cab from first post. I go on trying things.. Thanks folks !!
[Windows Mobile Themes] kamil_pi:
m6silver,

thanks a lot for your work. It looks and works great :D

I didn't find any errors, wifi icon works just fine (or I just didn't see an issue ;)

Thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Themes] dhanu1978shka14:
Ok ...follow the guide

Mate,

Read the very first post from m6silver. It nicely explains.

1. Install SDKCerts first . Can get it from here

2. If you are running Duttys ROM, this is not necessary.

3. Download the Icon Set you like.

4. Copy the cab file into your device and run it.

5. When prompt, install it in the device memory.

6. Restart the device

:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] henv:
i have sometimes problems with starting touch hd power off. the error is also about memory. I had installed m6 Taskbar WM6.1 v7 WinSQ and also use dutty 3.9. Dont know if its related with each other
[Windows Mobile Themes] m6silver:
Thanks MajorSarcasm for been so helpful, I've loaded your cab in my 1st post if you don't mind.
[Windows Mobile Themes] m6silver:
Sorry to hear about your problem. I will do a full test which need me to flash to dutty's latest 6.1 tomomorrow. Hopefully I can extract out some of his files and use it for the taskbar. Hang on guys...
[Windows Mobile Themes] m6silver:
I have again sign the file. Download and try install again. Since you have molded your start logo you should be able to extract out the shellres.192.dll and send to me. If not you'll be missing a lot of other icons
[Windows Mobile Themes] zenkinz:
no problem, many thanks for your help. AT this point, I'm living with dull original taskbar icons, I can't wait for your fixed colored taskbar :D :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] mainsail:
Hi, friend.. :)

Installed new BT icon cab signed and works but in a few time one notification icon appears. I tap over this icon and ask for dissable or not BT. I tap over ok but notification icon doesn´t dissapear. I upload screenshhots in order. Also, my custom Shellres** start icon. Thanks a lot :D:D
[Windows Mobile Themes] mainsail:
My Shellres icon...
[Windows Mobile Themes] Johan Kraczmar:
Thank you mate, now it is working and next time I will be more sure.THX
[Windows Mobile Themes] joshua:
hihi...

u from sg also ah....

check with u...will u b able to do a taskbar with the hTC logo beside "start" on the top left corner while the rest keep as default?
[Windows Mobile Themes] timstephens11:
thanks m6, appreciate that.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Major_Sarcasm:
Don't know if this is related to Miri's V20 ROM as I only noticed this morning after flashing it, but there is a 7% mismatch between the taskbar battery indicator and the notifications page version (see screenies). Several soft resets have not affected the error, it remains at 7%.

I'm gonna post in Miri's thread too.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tazman007:
Hiya

Are you still thinking of doing the chrome version mate, or has this been superceded by the black version?? (which btw is also super cool!)

Cheers again for all your effort
[Windows Mobile Themes] Major_Sarcasm:
After several people in Miri's thread have reported the same issue, it seems to be ROM related.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Pandemoniumone:
I can confirm the rhodium dialer issue also with the black icon pack...which by the way are the nicest icons I've seen for the task bar. I was so stoked to get them on my HD but then noticed my dialer wasn't showing correctly afterward. :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] improver:
Hi! I think your taskbar's are the best seen.

I would just have a question if it is for you possible for you possible to not change with taskbar icons dialer buttons at the beginning, since my buttons on starting the device where I have to enter the PIN become with installation of your taskbar icons smaller on my HD. As if it would be butteons from HTC VGA screen???

If this is possible for you to update it would be most awesome.

Is it maybe also possible for you to change just taskbar icons without folders and other icons, buttons.

Many thanks anyway for your exxellent IT and art work.

Best regards
