I totally agree and if I ever find any I'll retouch/crop/resisze them to work for the HD2 ;)

That's not going to happen :) I did read something some time ago where one of the developers was trying to right an app which would allow you to fully customise your taskbar icons to your own choice but I haven't heard anything about that for some time now.

@bionicbee2000, I can't rebuild that Metro CAB for some stupid reason :). So what you will need to do is:

Install the Metro CAB (the one you have already) and then install the Metro Custom Mod.CAB I've done and that should be it. Post a screen of it so I can see what it looks like :).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Body:
I really enjoyed your work, I have installed several taskbar and most of the problem.

I found it very beautiful and practical, congratulations.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xavierdemon:
Thanks Body :)

Thanks mate just installed V2 and it looks great. Will have to keep a eye on your future work.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xavierdemon:
Thanks m0nkeyman, hopefully V3 will be uploaded later tonight.

i dont know...hope I am just imagine it...but I have the feeling battery is draining more then before..hope it is merely an imagination as this one of the coolest icons for wm!

USA 2.10 rom software?

Will this work on the usa hd2 rom 2.10, because I do not want to end up bricking my phone.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xavierdemon:
LOL, I actually thought the same until I realised my phone lasted the same amount of time as usual.

You should be fine.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ducklas1:
Good to hear that :p

I installed both roms on my USA hd2 with spl 2.10 and everything worked out great so anyone who doesn't have 1.6 don't worry it will work with 2.10!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xavierdemon:
Thanks MykeChester :)

Good to know ;).

cab can be un-installable, will it back to original state after uninstalled?

Any problem? Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] joe810:
thanks for your share, i try another battery icon before, but this one is the best.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xavierdemon:
The CAB is uninstallable and will return to stock state.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] bionicbee2000:
Great, Period.

Hi xavierdemon,

sorry for the delay. I didn´t recognize your pm until now. But let me say this:

You´re awesome! Everything looks now like it supposed to be.

Great great work, bro.

Wow, this looks great! Just one thing: the wifi icon isn't skinned, it shows the stock one. I am on WM 6.5, 1.66 german stock rom with manila 1921.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xavierdemon:
The Metro CAB isn't done by me :) I just created an extra CAB to include the circular battery icons at Bionicbee request.

If you look back through the posts, Bionicbee posted the original thread for the Metro design. I think there was a CAB as well which does them all.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Etihad:
Thanks. I went through that whole thread but couldn't find it. Maybe bionicbee2000 can help...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hugoxboss:
Thanks!

I'd like to thank you for this wonderful CAB (v3). It works great on my Artemis 24NLD rom.

Hi bionicbee,

danke für die schnelle Antwort. Genau die CAB habe ich installiert. Wenn ich dann die CAB für die Akku-Anzeige installiere, wird das Wlan Symbol wie vorher.

thx for the quick reply. I installed that CAB. But when I install the battery icon the wifi icon switches back to stock.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xavierdemon:
Thanks for your comments hugoxboss :).

Which CAB's are you exactly using? As Bionicbee is using the Metro Taskbar CAB made by qitt (which he posted) and then the modded cab on post 36. If you use any of the CAB's on the first page you'll have the problem that Bionicbee orignally had, hence I did a special CAB for him, no one else should be using it as it's meant to be installed after you've installed the Metro Taskbar.

Etihad post some screens of which icons are being affected so I can understand more clearly whats going on :).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Etihad:
Sorry, I'm to dumb. Please ignore the nonsense I posted the last hours. You're right, it works fine with the original taskbar cab and the modded cab in post #36. :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] m0nkeyman:
I uninstalled v2 and installed v3 this morning and I think everyone with a hd2 should use it. It looks very smooth. Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xavierdemon:
Not a drama Ethiad, that's a cool looking Homescreen ;).

You're welcome m0nkeyman :D.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Etihad:
Once again respect for this work. All battery indicators I've been using before change to stock icon while charging, this does not. Thank you for that.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] globalgpj:
WoW ! That was fast work.

Looks great on HD2, using v3. Thanks :)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] holysheyat:
Thanks for this. I tried it on my TP2 and it works great on that as well.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] 2xmanman:
Tested 100% working on stock ROM HD2, and cab can be uninstall back to original state.

But after install, I found that the box icon of 3G/H, the "3G" and "H" text inside became bigger than original. Does the program change that 3G/H box icon too?

Anyway, this is a great freeware, thank you very much!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xavierdemon:
Thanks for your comments, only the battry icons are modded by me. The only reason I can suggest why it appears to you that the 3G/H icons look different is that your HD2 may have slightly different stock icons to the rest of us. May be if you can post a screen of what yours looks like normally I can adjust the DLL.

Thanks :)

I like it :)

I love the circular batt indicator on my TP2 (Verizon). Free up the extra widget I had on the screen to give me battery power. (I'm running the Verizon 6.5 MR2 updated op system.) Thanks!

Thanks for the comments guys :).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NLS:
Great one.

Sorry if I say things said before, but I am on traffic limited 3G and cannot search etc.

1) I THINK (not 100% sure - could be my screen) than when charging the top right (1-2 o'clock) is just a bit darker? (just a bit)

2) I would love a version with smooth "emptying" but still using 10% notches.

3) I would love if it is possible to show percentage while charging too! I don't know if the API allows for this, I realize the cab would be a bit larger (double the bitmaps), but I know you CAN see the percentage of battery while charging - with 3rd party tools (like Pocket Plus etc.).

Thanks for the great indicator that works with latest kernels.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xavierdemon:
1. Have not observed that myself.

2. I didn't originally create the icons just modded them to work.

3. That would be quite cool, in fact I already have the icon sets to do that but I have no idea how to get that to work. Android is capable of doing that but haven't seen anything on Winmo to do the same.

Thanks for your comments :).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] cu2cool:
Thanks a lot for this cab xavierdemon. I can confirm that it works on the latest Omega ROM v9.0 (3.04 base). The battery icon is very classy and easy to read. Also, I think the circle image "empties" in 1% increments in case anybody is wondering. Has anybody else tried this on a wm 6.5.x version ROM? I think that the H,3g,E,G icon is a bit too big (being nitpicky) because is reaches from the top to bottom of the taskbar. I think you mentioned that they were enlarged to increase the size of the battery icon as well, but is there any way to shrink just the H,3g,E,G icons? Thanks again
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xavierdemon:
Yeah they do look very big. What I would need is a copy of your original E/H/3G icons and then I could add them into my CAB.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xavierdemon:
V4 CAB added to first post.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Piren:
heya

is it possible to also show 1% increments when charging? kinda bugs me that i dont know how far along in the charging i am (instantly that is)

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xavierdemon:
Would love to be able to do that but have no idea how to actually implement it sorry.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Piren:
Hey again

First, awesome mod, i really like it :) thanks :)

also, sorry i asked that question. only now i've noticed it was already asked, and only a few posts ago, somehow missed it `-)

You've uploaded the icon set, but how do we actually do anything with it? where to put the files? any recommended editing programs?

(i personally just want to switch the direction of the draining, to be counter clockwise, maybe also color it so it so the whole circle changes from green to red)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xavierdemon:
Thanks for your comments, if you read this it will explan the process and some of the apps you'll need.

In regards to you wanting a coloured circular monitor, check the Desire forums they have a good selection of battery icons and if you ask nicely I'm sure the original owners would be happy to share their icon designs.

I won't be releasing any coloured sets as I specifically wanted just a better black and white monitor to match the stock icons.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Piren:
Thanks!

i'll be sure to try this :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kwill:
Battery mod is great man! Think you could do it for 6.5.x? And I think I'm about to go metro with that last screenshot I just saw:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] MykeChester:
thanks... v4 is looking good;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xavierdemon:
Thanks, would need the original icon set from WM 6.5.X which I don't have.

Thanks MykeChester, might be my new favorite :).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] globalgpj:
Here is my icon set.

I am using Miri's v17.7 - 6.5.x rom and the first battery icon cab as I find it easier to read the % info. :)

Wouldn't mind just larger numbers without the circle, and if possible, green, yellow and red numbers as the % remaining goes down. That would be awesome.

i.e. 100 - 40 % Green

39 - 20 % Yelllow

19 - 1 % Red
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xavierdemon:
Hi globalgpj, so you just want numbers and no framing of any kind? That's very easy to do :). When I get some free time I'll sort that for you.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] globalgpj:
Correct, no outer circle would be great.

And if the numbers are a larger font size, it will make it so much easier to read.

Thank you so much in advance ! :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xavierdemon:
Not a drama, do you just want the numbers, i.e. 89,74, etc or do you want a percentage symbol at the end, e.g. 89%,74%, etc.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] globalgpj:
Just the numbers, as the percentage sign, logically speaking, would cram the space that you have available for the numbers. ( Larger numbers is better )

What do you think ? I do like the % sign though !
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ai6908:
Looks awesome...thx xavier...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xavierdemon:
Without the % symbol the font can be bigger, I'll sort something as soon as I have time.

Thanks ai6908 :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Panamaaa:
Can you make mod with icon set from this task bar http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=663964 ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xavierdemon:
Probably, especially when it looks remarkably like Tsowen's taskbar ;).

It would probably be easier for ArtieQ to integrate my icons into his CAB, instead of me extracting the files and then reshacking the hell out of them :).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Panamaaa:
I don't use his taskbar. :) I need only YOUR batteryicon. It will be great if you find time and do this. Please.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xavierdemon:
Try the CAB I've attached it's a Mod of a Diamond II Battery CAB. I've rebuilt the CAB with the V3 style of battery as that's the only RAW files I have on my laptop. Make sure you have a backup of your phone, as I don't know if this will work.

Just to make it clear the below CAB is intended for the HTD Diamond 2 :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Panamaaa:
Thanx, it's work fine. Such as other your versions on my D2. But I need only mod with colored icons (from this skin http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3746652&postcount=5) like v4. Other your mods works fine on my D2: v1, v2, v3, v4. There was no need to do mod specially for D2. Sorry...

I tried myself to extract icons from the skin by Restorator. Then I tried to make a cab. But it isn't install. I'm newbie in this work. If you want I can upload them for your need.

Sorry for my English.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xavierdemon:
Ok, I really don't understand what you want :). Upload the icons you want and i'll sort it when I have time.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kwill:
Thanks for that globalgpj. So, is it now possible to get it done? Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xavierdemon:
I had planned on doing this and while searching for the Diamond 2 battery implementaion, I found this. Which is pretty much what globalgpj wanted and it does a hell of a lot more too. So it's worth checking, if it's not exactly what you wanted, then I'll try to get the numbers only battery mod done as soon as I get some free time but I am very busy at the moment.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kwill:
Yeah, that's a little bit much for me:D Your design is simple, yet elegantly designed. And goes with most taskbar themes.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] globalgpj:
I agree. I saw the final link to the battery info at: http://touchlockpro.sourceforge.net/BattClock.html

My experience is that the more the icons try to do the quicker the battery drains.

So simple is good.

Looking forward to Xavierdemon's "Numbers Only, battery icon set in colour" .

Green, Yellow and Red, colored numbers, as suggested earlier would be sweet ! :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xavierdemon:
% Coloured Numbers only CAB attached.

I haven't tested it, so post a screen so I can see what it looks like :).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xavierdemon:
Hey Panamaaa, I got the icons you sent me, which are from the AHEN 6A taskbar originally (used to use that set myself on my Diamond). What exactly do you want me to do with them?

Do you just want the coloured battery icons with the normal black&white stock icons? (You can do this yourself by just installing AHEN 6A - just search for it) Or do you want the coloured icons added to something else?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Panamaaa:
THANKS! I find it! http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=539126
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xavierdemon:
Not a problem :).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] globalgpj:

Looks really good. I like the large numbers. Thanks ! :)

If I have any troubles, which I don't think I would. I'll let you know. :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xavierdemon:
Not really to my taste but i'm glad you like it :).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kwill:
Yeah, I like that design. But, I still prefer the original one you did. If we could just get that for 6.5.x that would be awesome. Thanks again.:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] globalgpj:
I have tried the original one and versions 3 & 4 and they all work with my HD2 using 6.5.x roms.

Have you tried installing them with soft reset ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xavierdemon:
I think kwill is referring to the fact that icons look a little big on 6.5.X roms. I need a set of stock icons (which I don't have) or know what size the icons are meant to be for the 6.5.X roms to make the corrections and it would be a lot of work re-doing all the various CAB's ;).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kwill:
Actually, you are right and I should have been a little more descriptive of what happens when I install the icons. It actually is just that I want to install this with a custom taskbar I'm already using (Android Taskbar from Dark Ninja) and it overwrites the data connection icons I have.

No need to rework the whole set as the purpose is to use it with the stock icons. Is there a way to just get the battery meter icon and not overwrite the data connection icons from a custom taskbar? Or is the battery meter dll tied to the data conn icons to where that can't be achieved. See screenshot below for what happens. Thanks guys.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xavierdemon:
The data and battery icons are in the same DLL file. Give me a link to the taskbar you are actually using or the files and tell me which style of battery icons you want and I'll re-work the DLL for you when I have some spare time :).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kwill:
Yeah, I thought about that as I'm sitting here now with reshacker trying to figure out how to replace them myself. lol! Here's the original thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=626188 and the actual cab I'm using is attached. While I'm at it though, I located what seems to be the bitmaps in your battery icon using reshacker. But, how do you save the bitmaps? I know how to replace them if you already have the bitmaps, just not how to save them. Thanks a lot....really!

Oh, I attached a blue version of the same taskbar as there the only two that I use. If you don't mind hooking them both up?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xavierdemon:
Not a drama, is it the V3 you want adding?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kwill:
Yes, it's the V3. And, I edited my last post and added one more taskbar, if you don't mind editing that one also? They're the same, just one is blue. Oh, and Dark Ninja had also released a battery icon fix for this taskbar, but not sure what it did. I'm attaching it just in case.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xavierdemon:
I've had a look at the first CAB you posted the problem is that Darkninja's CAB isn't actually a percentage battery CAB so what I will need to do is rip his Icons and put them into my CAB.

I'll try to sort them both soon.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kwill:
Ah, that makes sense. Well, thanks for all the trouble and I edited my last post with some sort of battery icon fix he had provided for that particular taskbar. But, not sure what it is included. It was to fix the battery icon not being skinned for some reason. Also, I checked out your V4 set and it's pretty good also! I like the break in increments instead of one solid line throughout. If you don't mind, maybe you could do the v4 set also?

Icon dissapeared

If the clock is set to always visible in taskbar (Configuration/Clock and alarms), this battery icon becomes hidden. Is there some workaround for this?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xavierdemon:
Sorry this is a known problem and there isn't a workround except for don't set your clock to be visable on the taskbar.

Hi guys,

you can create a battery icon that shows the percentage of charge even when the phone is connected to external power? for example using two different colors to differentiate the state

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] cu2cool:
ok4r, what version of windows mobile are you using? only wm 6.5.x will let you see both clock and battery icons at the same time. You can tell which version you have if the start icon is at the top, 6.5, or bottom, 6.5.x.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Neo84:
Does anybody else have the problem that after installing this beautiful icon each unlock redirects to the homescreen? For example I open excel and lock the device via the hardware button. Without the icon I will again see excel when I unlock the device. With the icon I get to the homescreen directly after unlocking and excel is running in the background.

edit:

seems to be fixed with v3. (problems were in v2)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xavierdemon:
CAB wise there is no difference between any of the CAB's except the different icon sets in them. I haven't experienced any of the problems you have, however I am happy everything seems to be working fine for you now.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Neo84:
It seems like it did only work after the first softreset after the installation. No big issue since I don't have any idea either what could be causing this.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] cu2cool:
Hey Xavier,

Do you know if the icons in these screenshots I took are the stock icons? They appear right before your icons load. Is it possible to use these stock icons in the future version of the battery cab?

Also, in this second screenshot I took it while it showed two different connections. Is this normal behavior?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] apallohadas:
Very nice! Works well thanks :D
