Req CAB With msg, email and waiting icone (set 2)

Hey can anyone kindly post a cab of Artieq's taskbar with the second set of emails, msg, headphone and battery icons?? i tried copying the files...but i am not able to copy them to the windows directory, neither am i able to rename the files, tried it with total commander too :( but no avail. My HD 2 is brand new and its totally in stock!

PS: Installed sdkcerts too :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ArtieQ:
Here you go, remember to do the registry edits for the battery to make it work properly.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] teejayenator:
Sure :) Thanks for reminding me :D thanks a lot :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ArtieQ:
What do you guys think about this WiFi icon? It's green when connected, red when no network is found and when it's searching it goes between orange and blue.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Sector`:
Artie when are u releasing it for 6.5.x ? :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ArtieQ:
It's released already, I hope it works properly for you.

Hi Artieq,

Any luck on whipping up a cab with just the Start Menu icon? Thank you!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ArtieQ:
Upload your shellres.192.dll and I'll change it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] andes83:
Hi ArtieQ , awesome job on the new taskbar (new battery icon kicks ass) . I don't know if anyone asked yet but can you think of a way that the new battery icon shows percentage 1 to 100 below or in it ? It would be great.. thanks for your work. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ArtieQ:
I tried to do with percentage before but it looked bad and the text inside the battery was hard to see, so I just went with clean icon. Maybe in the future I will figure something out =)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] aquace21:
Thanks. I've uploaded my shellres.dll.

And this is the Start Menu icon if possible

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] aquace21:
Thank u! Ahh.. I forgot to remind u dat can u create a cab juz with this start button? Everthg else remains as stock. Thanks.

bluetooth/headset notifications doesn't appear

Hi Artie, Thanks very much for the taskbar. I like it :) I just have one glitch on my Omnia 2 when I installed it. The bluetooth notifications didn't change, it still displays the original phone default. The headset notifications doesn't appear if I plugged in my Headset. Other than that, everything just works perfect :) More power to people like you
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johnboatcat:
Do you know the name of the original "H" icon file?

Artieq, I can't find it in the windows directory. Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ArtieQ:
Might be because Omnia uses some other files than on HTC devices, can you go into \Windows and search for BT or bluetooth and see if you find any .bmp's.

What file explorer are you using?

lost HTC Volume Control

Hey man, great GSM taskbar. Signal bars actually work :cool: Just havin' one issue. I installed it, and made all the necessary reg edits, and I notice that it defaults to the winmo volume control. I actually like the htc volume control due to it being finger friendly. I added back the Flags Dword=0 in HKLM/Services/HTCVOLUME, I'm guessing it's removed when the cab is installed and the HTC Volume Control came back, but the volume icons went back to default. Is there any fix for this, like a reg edit that I may not can think of, cause I know I had another taskbar for my CMDA device, and they both worked out? Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] zumbie01:
I am absolutely new to this and I have no idea what im doing whatsoever! Can someone please help me with this??? I downloaded the taskbar from the OP and none of the icons really show up. I know i have to download a registry explorer, but where can i do that for free? and also once I do that how do i navigate through to make the taskbar actually work? I have already read through the OP and still didn't really understand it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Stilts:
Hey ArtieQ, the taskbar looks great! But I just have one little issue, the original headset icon does not look like yours. Mine is pink and doesn't look clean. Do you know why this is? :confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] SkimMilk:
great work! Thanks for this release!

I've installed this on the stock rom and it's looking great. But I lost the volume ctrl bar in the music player. on the left of the screen, I see the black background but not the volume bar. Any idea how i can get it back?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ArtieQ:
I've noticed this on my own phone also, please go into \Windows and delete or rename the current HTCVolumeControl.dll to HTCVolumeControl.dll.bak and restart, now go to \Windows once again and copy the current one to your storage card and upload it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] SkimMilk:
it worked~! but i cant copy it out to anywhere. total commander will report that file already exist. If I try to overwrite, it will fail... =(

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] troydawg47:
this is my 1st time and i cannot find the volume icon in the taskbar. can u tell me where and how to install it back? Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ArtieQ:
I haven't finished that yet, maybe in a few days I'll post it.

What ROM are you using?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] wolfee:
ArtieQ!

where you been bud? glad to see you are still working on this. I was starting to wonder. :D

Also did you get your HD2 yet?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ArtieQ:
Sup, I've been kinda busy irl, I'm currently working on my driver license so that takes most of my time. And no I didn't get it yet :( I decided to buy an iPod Touch because I still wouldn't have the money for an HD2 so I gotta wait like 2 more months :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] asctony:
Any chance of putting in Date and Time on this TaskBar? Thanks for what you have done so far.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] wolfee:
Not sure about date.. but time is a today setting you can do easy enough. here is the path to set it.

Settings/All settings/clock and alarms/More tab/check the display clock on title bar in all programs. and press ok.

Time is now on your tool bar. :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] asctony:
Thanks, that does show time on all apps. However, it overwrites the Battery % on the TaskBar. So, if I leave that set for time I loose Battery %.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] wolfee:
this is true, sorry to say. Unless you use a flashed rom that has both cooked into it, I dont think it is possible. I am by no means a cook/dev. but I think we would have seen a cab for this by now if it were possible.

So I think it is one or the other for now. Some please correct me if I am wrong.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] asctony:
Again, Thanks for your help. I guess I will just accept the fact that it is not available. It is not a problem.

The other thing I am experiencing is that the X does not closed an app. I find that I use ArcSwitch to close apps even though I use the X.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] wolfee:
yeah the *x*not closing programs is annoying. there is an app floating around XDA for this I think. I don't use it how ever. I just close everything with the task manager instead.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] drmodify:
hey man, thanks for this, I like this taskbar design best! All working fine in my omnia
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] asctony:
What is the purpose of 'X' if it is not to close an app? I also tried 'Back <' arrow, too. That does not close apps. I know use something else which I am using.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ArtieQ:
I use Resco Task Manager to close apps.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Miami_Son:
OK, I put this mod on my Tilt 2 and have a few issues. Some icons appear and others don't. The battery icon is useless. I installed the updated battery icon and it didn't change. The Stereo Headphones icon never shows, but the BT Stereo Headphones one does and is like the one in the first post of this thread. I did the regedits for the speaker icon, but it is still as before. The 2nd regedit for this was not present on my phone, so I only deleted the 1st one. The 3G icon changed, but it is not like shown. Neither is the signal strength. As you can see, the BT icon did change correctly as did the Start icon. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like right now. I would really like to get all of Artie's beautiful icons working, if possible. Thanks.

My info says I have WinMo 6.5 professional.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] anhphe076:
Del post. Thank you!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Miami_Son:
OK, after playing around a little more I figured out most of the problem. For some reason, the registry had _phcanOverBMP.dll, so it was totally ignoring the correct file without the _ in front. Don't know why that was there, but removing it made almost all the icons work. The only one that appears to still be the default is the 3G signal strength icon. Otherwise, looks good and works fine on my Tilt 2. Awesome!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Touruss:
Icons are too small :(

i tried on HD2

If icons will be bigger - i will install it :)

Battery percent is too small. Its very bad for me :(

Thanks for your work.

I will wait :D

Battery status onle with 25 percent step ?:(

Can you make 1 percent step please ? ( if step - 1 percent - sorry )

sorry for my bad english.

I know that you're not supporting this taskbar anymore but may I ask a request from you. I'm using you1re taskbar 2 days ago, I really like it, and my request if it is possible to change 3 icons in shellres.dll...the start logo, ok and the close icons(they are ready to use)...can you do this for me? many thanks

Nice work. I have one question. When I installed this on my phone everything is fine but when I press the volume keys I dont get the standard volume screen its a generic screen. Is it possible the get the stock volume screen back. It looks better then the generic screen. Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] euplio:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Touruss:
I really want bigger icons :)

Battery percent is very small size (text) :( And icons smaller than standart taskbar icons ( maby it's wrong - maby it's illusion ).

If icons will be bigger - it will be the best taskbar :)

Can author do this? Special version WVGA with big icons ?:)

Sorry for my bad english.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Rodders_28:

Go to and delete the 2 reg keys.

HKLM/Software/HTC/VolumeOverlay

"LoadIconFromResDLL"

"SoundIconLink"
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] technomania34:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ArtieQ:
Haha yeah, I even had it on my Diamond way back :D I am on my TD2 still, I haven't purchased a new phone yet but I will in a month or so. Either HD2 or Desire, we'll see :)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Reignzone:
This looks excellent.

I'm about to test this out on my T-Mobile USA HD2.

So, my question is... can this task bar be "clean uninstalled"...?

Sometimes with these task bars, they become fragmented and unable to be removed completely.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ArtieQ:
I will NOT work on US devices (CDMA).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Reignzone:
Yeah, CDMA is Sprint or Verizon Wireless in the United States... T-Mobile USA is NOT a CDMA network here... it's GSM as it is in EURO.

Deutsche Telekom doesn't alter their radio settings, other than frequencies just because they provide handsets for multiple countries... they are ALWAYS GSM devices from T-Mobile USA.

And the USA model of the HD2 is NO EXCEPTION...

So, in theory this should work considering the HD2 is WM6.5 and a GSM device, correct?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ArtieQ:
Ye you can try it at least, just uninstall it if it doesn't work.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Reignzone:
Yeah, it worked out quite well actually...

The icons look excellent!

However, the only icons that appear to be having issues are the ones involving the DATA CONNECTIVITY...

My "signal bars" are BLUE, but the 3G appears OVER the bars on the T-Mobile USA HD2, so I'm not sure if there is a way to make the icon for the DATA appear next to it as well.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Lamsebamsen:
Great taskbar Artie...

One thing though...

Would it be possible to make one with a different SMS icon?

I don't use Yahoo for anything at all, and to have their logo on my mobile when I get a text message just doesn't seem right somehow :)

Could you make a taskbar with a different sms icon?

Thanks in advance.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ArtieQ:
Link me a new icon and I'll put it into the taskbar for you ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ArtieQ:
That's how they should appear, the 3G and G are made to be above the signal bars in this taskbar. Show me a screenshot of how it looks please.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Lamsebamsen:
Cool, thanks mate :)

What is the requirements for the icon images?

Size, format etc.?

I could perhaps find a replacement for some of the other icons too, if you have the time to make a switche-roo?

:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ArtieQ:
I'm sorry but I have big problems editing big dll's, I had to ask for help every time I wanted something changed. Only thing I can change is sms, email, alarm, multialert and such. I would prefer .png format, size doesn't matter because I will resize it anyway :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Reignzone:
I'm going to post a screen shot in a few minutes...

But yeah, I'm referring to the "physical" representation of the DATA CONNECTION.

As in, the "G", "E", "3G", etc.

Those do NOT appear on the LEFT SIDE of the signal bars as well... but instead that is displayed over the signal bars.

I'm quite certain that's because T-Mobile USA opted out of displaying an additional icon to represent your data connection.

And I have to agree with the exchange of the YAHOO Instant Messenger swap for a "normal" SMS icon with a little color. I don't use YIM either.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Lamsebamsen:
Something like this perhaps...!?

- and I have attached a different envelope for e-mails :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Reignzone:
Here's the screen shot...

As promised...​

​
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ArtieQ:
I could also do something like this with some sort of text in the bubble.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ArtieQ:
I think it seems ok, it isn't really overlaping the bars. My 3G and G is in blue color tho, don't know why yours isn't. Also I see your speaker icon is wrong, go to the first page of this thread and delete those two registry keys I said.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Lamsebamsen:
Anything, almost, is better than the Yahoo icon :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Reignzone:
Agreed... so PLUS ONE!

But yes, again... T-Mobile USA opted out of showing the additional DATA-related icon to the left of the signal bars.

Anyway, as for the speaker icons... I'm using some from DJCedric.

So they're not wrong, I'm simply using a different set, but with your task bar.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Reignzone:
Hey Artie,

It would be excellent if you could simply .CAB the various SMS icons for us. That was they could just be "installed" and directly applied to what we already have, rather than having to download an entirely different task bar.

Seriously, I would greatly appreciate something other than the Yahoo icon right now. Thank you.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ArtieQ:
Here is the dll's for new email and sms icon. Before you put them into \Windows, backup the original ones by copying them to the storage card and rename them to "outres.192.dll.bak" and "MessagingRes.dll.bak", if something is wrong with the new one basically remove ".bak" from the original ones and put them into \Windows.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ArtieQ:
Here is another one, I actually ended up using this myself :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Reignzone:
So, basically...

Just backup our original files (just in case).

Then drag n' drop your customized icons into our Windows directory.

Correct?

Oh, and by the way... just in case any other T-Mobile USA HD2 users come through here... the reason a majority of your icons do NOT show up immediately after installing is because the original "Basedll" value is: "TMOUS_phcanOverbmp.dll" -- which needs to be changed to "phcanOverbmp.dll".

Changing this, also solves the T-Mobile USA decision to REMOVE the icon that represents your data connection on the left side of the signal bars as well. The icon will appear, including the remaining ones that haven't.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ArtieQ:
That's correct, hope you like the new icons :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Reignzone:
I bet I will.

And seriously... now that EVERYTHING (in terms of the icons) has appeared, I must say... they are gorgeous. The blue accents were a positive choice, considering they match my "blue theme" I've using.

Again, great work. Definitely a worthy competitor to the rest of the task bar designs.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Lamsebamsen:
Could you perhaps, if it's not too much to ask, combine them with the other taskbar icons in a .cab-file?

A bit long-haired to have to copy/paste after a reinstall of WM :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ArtieQ:
The best I can do is to make a .cab for the new icons, just install the taskbar as always and then install this .cab :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Lamsebamsen:
I'll take anything I can get, thanks ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Reignzone:
Would you mind showing us which files you decided to create a .CAB for?

I'm curious... because right as I was about to start dragging these custom files in my Windows directory, I see you posted a .CAB file.

Which icons did you go with for this?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ArtieQ:
The following :)

E-Mail:

SMS:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Reignzone:
Great, thank you kind sir.

They are beautiful.

Solid work. All the way around...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ArtieQ:
Or maybe you guys like these better?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Reignzone:
.CAB 'em up.

Post 'em up.

Just throw everything else you choose to include as an "add-on" in your OP.

Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ArtieQ:

For the record,

I still rather prefer your task bar to any others I've come across for WM6.5!

Everything, available right now... seems kind of "cheesy". No offense to other designers. Just saying... :)
