Thank you very much :)

I think, that files with icons from taskbar have identical english name. ( in non-english roms ).

All must be good :)

But i don't understand, Why the last version does not work.

I will wait a new version ;)

I like that icons have big size in your taskbar mod. In other taskbar mods icons are very small :( or does not beautiful.

Thanks you for your work.
[Windows Mobile Themes] optyqus:
Ok, added a new cab, with redesigned icons!
[Windows Mobile Themes] fr3sh_t0_d3f:
Looks good. Keep up the good work
[Windows Mobile Themes] Touruss:
Does not work :((

I will try to install other taskbars :(

Thank you for your job.

Custom wait cursor - work good

Custom system folder icons - work good

Custom icon for .exe files - work good

taskbar - dont work :( invisible icons

I dont know : why?

Other taskbars work good :(

Does Dinik taskbar 1.5 work for you? 'cause my taskbar contains the same versions of dlls he used. And again, you have a non-English rom... and some of the taskbar files are located in mui files, not in the default dlls. Have you read post #9?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Touruss:
I will try it.

Thanks

Hmmm

I have: shellres.192.dll

but i am not found : shellres.192.dll.0409.mui

I have shellres.dll.0419.mui buy this file i can not rename ( in resco explorer )

When i renamed the shellres.192.dll to shellres.192.dll.0409.mui and do soft reset - i see standart windows taskbar

then

When i turn ON loud connection - on taskbar i have seen Alecs Windows-Phone-7 Taskbar Icon of loud connection.

Have anyone ideas about what i must rename and what name i must rewrite?
[Windows Mobile Themes] cossey:
No taskbar icons with v2.0

I also tried to install v2.0 but taskbar icons don't show at all. That's a pitty.

Does it have to do with the new Manila? I am using 2.5.20121412.1.

HTC HD2 - Elegancia Rom - CHT - WM6.5.X (V 9.5) - HSPL 2.08 - Radio 2.12.50.02_2
[Windows Mobile Themes] LeTo08:
V2 Don't work for me too...

Strange because Dinik v1.5 work very well...
[Windows Mobile Themes] uchaloki:
yup everything is working great except for the taskbar. and i tried to change files name like you said in post #9 but it says "cant rename this file".
[Windows Mobile Themes] lufc:
Looks very nice thanks :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] cossey:
Hi Optyqus!

Could you please make your v2.0 version work for the HD2? As you can read over here the taskbar icons are not working at all. And they look so great if I see the pictures on the first page. I can't wait to have them. I love the design!!

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Themes] optyqus:
This time I really don't understand why they don't show up! I used HD2 files, I did everything by the book... seriously, it's the 4th cab intended for the HD2 and I'm pissed off it works on other devices but not on the HD2!

Maybe it's something in my pc, maybe I have to use other certificates... don't know. I'll have a chat with other taskbar makers.

Thank you for your interest in this and sorry for the inconveniences. V2 cab will stay posted couple more days to gather more feedback. This week at least I can't make any updates, I'm in holidays, far from my pc.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Touruss:
Thank you for your interest to help us to install your taskbar on HD2

We will wait new versions and try it on our devices :)

It's really cool taskbar:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] the_gunners:
in my omnia 2 the taskbar failed to display properly, and look like this

any info how to fix it ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] honki:
take ur time ;-) nice holidays!

i hope this taskbar will be work soon on my hd2 ;-)

V2.0 is a no go for me as well. Same as the others have posted here, everything works except for the taskbar. I've tested Diniks v1.5 and it works fine, no issues.

This one works for me, and the previous editions of the same taskbar would not.So he changed something critical, maybe the key? Hope it helped..

[Windows Mobile Themes] Kroutnuk:
I tried to install your taskbar on a french HD2 stock ROM and the taskbar icons disappeared.

I tried to edit the shellres.192.dll like in post 9.

Indeed a month has passed from the last update, and I did promised to come back soon with another version, but it's impossible for me to work on it this period, my current job eats most of my time.

Thank you for your interest in this project and please have a little more patience, I don't know when the update will come, but it will.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ka4o_pi4a:
First thanks for the great icons. I install them on my HTC Touch2 and everything is ok, except the signal icon.... Here is a screenshot of my shellres...dll files in Windows directory. Can someone tell me what i have to rename to get the f*****g signal icon work properly because now is working only in call progress, otherwise stay original WM icon. I try with almost every taskbar here and the result is all the same. Thanks !

PP. I try to rename some of the .dll files in win directory before some time and the result was Hard Reset, so please help me get this work. My ROM is 6.5.5 (h ttp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=725869).
[Windows Mobile Themes] optyqus:
Well, it seems you installed this on a qvga device, and my taskbar is only v/wvga (however, it does work on qvga too, in some cases).

First, the signal icons are fizically different than the call icons. My guess is that your device gets it's original signal icons even after installing my taskbar due to the fact that your rom calls the taskbar icons from different dlls.

In my taskbar, signal icons are located in shellres.192.dll. Your device reads this dll and shows the icons in it, except the signal icons, which are 'taken' from the original shellres.96.dll (shellres.192.dll indicates a w/vga dll file and shellres.96.dll indicates a qvga dll).

If you uninstall my taskbar, does shellres.192.dll dissapear from your windows?

My solution: extract your shellres.96.dll (using ROM Extractor, available here on XDA), unsign it and identify the signal icons using ResHacker. Then, open my taskbar cab (using WinCE Cab Manager or other pc app for cab files), extract shellres.192.dll. Open this shellres with ResHacker, and extract all it's resources (around 1700 icons); among them you'll find my blue signal icons. Again, open the initial shellres.96.dll, search the signal icons and replace them one by one with those extracted from shllres.192. Save the dll and sign it (you can find the certificates on xda). Then install my taskbar, and after that manually paste the shellres.96.dll you modified.

Sounds too complicated? Well, it's not that hard but it's a lil' tricky fist time. All things written above are useful only if the cause of the signal icons issue is the interpolation between shellres.192 and shellres.96.

You may as well extract shellres.96.dll and provide me via PM a copy of it and I'll modify it for you (as fast as I'll have some time).
[Windows Mobile Themes] ka4o_pi4a:
Wow, thanks for the fats replay. I'm starting to search these apps and I'll try to make this alone and if a can't do this will PM you with this file. I'll write here what is happened soon....

I forget - yes [shellres.192.dll] dissapear when i remove your icon cab.

EDIT: Crap... i did't do anything. Try with Extractor but it give me message [cannot create output file] i try to copy it with total commander and gsfinder but i wonts. what can i do now ? how to get that file out of my win directory ?

EDIT2: Also the sms icon did't work - stay original white one. And that is happen with every taskbar icon i ever install...
[Windows Mobile Themes] optyqus:
In ROM Extractor you have to manually input the saving path in the 2nd field, eg:

Enter path to module:

\Windows\Shellres.96.dll

Save path:

\Storage Card\Shellres.96.dll (so you have to actually write this line, and then press "Extract" button)
[Windows Mobile Themes] ka4o_pi4a:
There is it... finally.

I have made it !!! Now i got the signal icon works great. Thank you very much ! Now if you tell me where to find the sms icon to replace it i'll be very happy.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Daniu123:

[Windows Mobile Themes] mad_a_22:

is their a samsung omnia version available as of this time for this very nice taskbar?
[Windows Mobile Themes] qtruq:
Is there a way to just use the blue system folder part of this, and with the animated blue wait icon? Thanks. Your work is great also!!!

Edit: Nevermind, as I see the icons are probably all inside 1 .dll file. I'll just wait for the QVGA version.
[Windows Mobile Themes] davej:
Dear All and Optyqus

I have laboriously deciphered Dinik's taskbar V1.5 and replaced all the icons with the appropriate ones from Alec's WM6.5 cab version2.

:( :mad: Sadly I cannot get past the certification issues. :( :mad:

I have attached a zip file of all the extracted .dll's and .bmp's.

If anyone can get this to work I suspect it will sort out most issues for most of us with WM6.5 stock ROMS.

Let me know how you go...happy to take PM's if anyone need additional data

[Windows Mobile Themes] qtruq:
I went ahead and installed it to my QVGA device and as you can see, the waiting icon is still the default, the email icon at the top didnt change and the system folders are still the same. I know this wasn't for QVGA but thought i'll give it a try anyway. It looks wonderful!!! My device is a HP iPAQ hx2110 PDA (not a phone), WM6.5.5.
[Windows Mobile Themes] optyqus:
I'm glad you made it (didn't expect it :D). The sms icon is located in multiple places (in order to increase the chances of working on multiple roms). You can find it in MessagingRes.dll (this one is used by newer roms with sense 2.5), in Shellres.192/96.dll or other files. You just need to find out wich is the dll file in your rom that hosts the original sms icon, and replace it.

I have planned a special version for the Omnia ( and I seriously promised it to a particular user) but... as you can see... my time is limited; I barely get to enter xda from time to time :(

It is possible, but with a little effort: you just need to extract your shellres.96.dll file from Windows and unsign it. Then extract the file with the same name from my cab, exctract it's resources with ResHacker (be patient), and you'll have the 16 frames of the waiting animation, and the blue folder icons. The open up your shellres.96.dll and replace the cursor icons,then the folder ones (which you can find 'at the end' of the file). After replacing save the changes, resign the dll file (this is vital) then paste it over the original one and restart device. ;)

Thank you for this effort! I did too used Dinik's files and just replaced their content (just for research purpose, no bad intentions)... but it was useless. I'll soon have a chat with Dinik to ask him some specific details, maybe he can help me.

I'm counting on you, and I shall contact you for any data I might need :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] davej:
Dinik dud!

Glad to know I'm not a total idiot for going this route!! It is a certification error. Might try another cabbed version tonight. :rolleyes:

Trust me, if I can crack it...you'll here me all the way from Sydney!! :D

[Windows Mobile Themes] ka4o_pi4a:
Someone with more experience have to tell me the exactly name of that file with the sms icon...it's very difficult to find it like extract one by one all of the dll files...
[Windows Mobile Themes] rajivshahi:
well i think the QVGA device uses different shellres dll than the WVGA one... and the wait cursor and other icons like email is inside that dll, so you have same old icons... how ever you can modify your shellres dll to show up the cursor and other missing icons...
[Windows Mobile Themes] rajivshahi:
outres.192.dll.... in your case it should be outres.XXX.dll as 192 is for VGA and WVGA if i'm not mistaken...
[Windows Mobile Themes] ka4o_pi4a:
I find outres.96.dll and outres.192.dll and inside of them there is a sms icons, i replace them, soft reset and..... nothing :( obviously there is some other places with the sms icon.... any suggestions ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] rajivshahi:
ok did you replace the ico files and overwrite the old outres.XX.dll in "\windows"... that should do the job...
[Windows Mobile Themes] ka4o_pi4a:
Yes, extract with rom extractor, replace icons with res hacker, then sign with signer and then replace in windows dir. I replace some icons with messege icon, but did't find the exactly this one which is showing when i have a new unread sms (message with phone)...
[Windows Mobile Themes] optyqus:
@ka40, I too had this problem with my very own taskbar (v1).... on my blackstone the sms icon didn't change, but on my brother's device all worked fine, including the sms icon. It's a problem of different adresses on diverse roms...

The files that might contain sms icon have names like: shellres, tapres, tshres, outres, messagingRes etc. I know it's difficult to check them all but there's no other way. Now you probably understand how painful is to deal with taskbar icons..

Need desperate help here please!

I didnt do anything to my taskbar resulting from your threads...basically I folloed a different thfead and realized it was from 2008 after I installed a cab file and a dll he called it that was supposed to just add a battery icon colored with percentages. Instead it shrunk everything and removed my icon informing me if I was on vibrate or level of volume. Now not only are the icons small but now there is a blank space where my volume level used to be. How do I fix this problem?

thank you so much for any advice u can give me...

QVGA Icons by Me...

For those who want to use the icons on QVGA devices install the cab file from first post, soft reset, then copy and replace in Windows directory these .dll files (attachments) with resco explorer for example, soft reset again and you will have most of the icons replaced incl. message, signal and wifi icons. Enjoy !

Do this on your own risk ! I test it on HTC Mega (T3333) with win mob 6.5.5 and everything works fine !

I can't change the wait cursor, so it will stay original.

IMPORTANT EDIT: This mode don't working on every ROM, before replace the .dll files make a backup of your system !!!

Din pacate nu cred ca voi mai scoate alte versiuni la acest proiect, interesul pentru WM a scazut si in plus la un taskbar e mult de munca din cauza numarului mare de iconite de inlocuit si a problemelor care le presupun fisierele dll.

Hi, the mod is excelent. I am using it on TD2 (topaz) with energyrom Titanium and Win7 Theme mod. It's a quite good combination.

I have one question. The Home screen have the blue windows icon (V1) but as i move trough the menus i am back to the stock rom icon, a white one. Is there a way to replace the icon, so the blue one can allways work in every single menu? :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] optyqus:
You're on wm 6.5.x, right? If so, use v.2 of my mod. The issue you reported is caused by the actual overwriting of that icon by the current theme you use on the device (most of wm 6.5.x themes include a start icon wich overrides the system start icon). Take out the theme you use from the Windows folder and edit it, by identifying the start icon and replacing it with the start icon from my cab.

Below you have multiple versions of the start icon.
[Windows Mobile Themes] porkovich:
Somehow i cannot find the right icon in the mess of files in the Windows directory. The more strange thing is that when i go from the main screen to , lets say, start menu, the Windows icon changes to the Stock one for the Rom ( energyRom Titanium). So every other menu on the device is using that icon, just the Home screen is replaced. What can i do now ...

I cannot even find the icons from your cab, when i search trough my phone (using total commander). Are all the icons present only in the Main Windows dir ?

Now i see that the device is loading all the icons (only the star buton) one over the other. First is the theme icon than is yours... strange. Other menues have only the Rom's one. :confused:
[Windows Mobile Themes] optyqus:
The icons are stored in various dll files in windows, they do not reside independently in Windows. When you install the cab, it replaces the original dll files. A theme for wm 6.5.x contains images which override certain elements in the interface, including softkey bar buttons, scrollbars, and the start button. Go to Settings-Personal-Today and see what's the name of the theme you use. Then search for it in windows (it's a tsk file), open it up and search it's start icon and replace it with mine.
