Newbie skinning question - General Questions and Answers

A newbie to the forums but fairly competent with WM5, just not that great with skinning!
My question is this - I have installed a Wisbar Advance 2 skin onto my HTC TyTn which is very nice but the standard icons on the top bar are missing, replaced with the ones from the skin. Is there any way I can get back the 3G icon and the standard connection icon whilst keeping the nice battery icon that came with the skin?
I appreciate any help and the patience of anybody kind enough to answer!

[REQ] Windows Phone Original white ROUNDED Taskbar

Hi! Does anybody have the original white rounded taskbar from WP 6.5? I have searched and searched for a long time but every time I find the same squared one that is in the Leo original
I had it on my Diamond when I flashed some 6.5 roms.
I would be very greatful if someone could find this as a cab
It is identical with the taskbar original in the Leo only rounded icons.
YES, I love these icons as well, so clean and crisp and beautiful. It would be great to have these original MS ones.
I would love to have it too.
But it seems nobody has them What a pity
I don't know if it's what you meant, but check this thread

Alternate status icons?

I've seen a variety of screenshots of HD2s with alternate status icons (like the ones shown in this post's screenshots: forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4871358). I've searched and searched and I can't find out how to customize these from the standard, simple, ugly white stock ones. Any tips appreciated!
Thanks!

Can anyone point me in the right direction for these?
Thanks,

You can either continue to search for somebody that has done it and released the files. Or you can start looking into modding the manila files yourself to what you want. The files are not unique to the Leo any WinMo 6.5 notification icons will work.
Thanks for the info. I'm brand new to Windows Mobile and the HD2 so I'm not sure I'm up for trying to make my own mods yet. I'm trying to learn from what others have done and then hopefully be able to give back later.
So, are these things typically referred to as 'notification icons'? I found some custom packages under that name, but they all seemed to be the big icons for the programs, not the little status icons. I couldn't tell though whether those packages would include both the big icons and the small status icons or not. Any idea?
Thanks,

To get these icons first you need to install Maxmanilla. search the thread for maxmanilla and after that you can choose your icons for notifications.
Notification Icons
Install max manilla and then you can change the default notification by the one I have attached or to any icon you want. Search for the icons on net. A few icons are attached which I use.

Thanks for the tips and guidance! I really appreciate the help. However, I'm not looking for the big icons for the various programs, I'm looking for the little status icons at the top of the display (signal strength, wireless connected, bluetooth, headset, etc). The ones on the T-Mo HD2 are just the basic white 'line drawing' ones from HTC. I've seen some screenshots here (like in the like I posted above) where these little icons are very nice, rich, colorful, almost 3D looking. Those are the ones I'm trying to find. Does MaxManilla have those too?
Thanks!

Ah Sorry, I thought you are talking about notification icons. The icons which you are referring are part of taskbar. first you need to check your windows version If you are still on the stock rom or installed a coocked rom 6.5 then search for taskbar 6.5. If you are on 6.5.x then search for taskbar 6.5.x
A lot of customization links are included in the below thread. just search for taskbar for your version.

Awesome! That's what I was looking for. I was searching for 'status icons' since that's how HTC refers to them in the manual. Didn't think that was called the taskbar.
Thanks again!

How to skin bottom bar?

iv got the retractable slider enabled on cht and iv seen some pretty cool skinned bottom bars with alternetive slider buttons.
Im using win 6.5
anyone point me in the direction of any cabs to skin it
much appreciated
p.s. I have tried searching and looking
they can get lower than that......how about lower than a snakes belly
you want the little button that brings up the slider skinned?
haven't seen many standalone cabs for that, they tend to be bundled in with themes or sliders.....

Taskbar question

I now use the DINIK taskbar which is awsome, but I installed S2U2, and it's got this iPhone-like taskbar.
I know, I know, there are much iPhone haters.
But still, I just want the taskbar, I'm only wondering if it's by far possible..
S2U2 has it in it's program. The only reason I ask for it, is because it's small, white and clean.
For me it doesn't even have to be iPhone like, if anyone knows a taskbar in white, which is small and with signal strenght, hour, volume and battery in it, please post the link. And yes, I'm not turning my phone into an iPhone, I currently use SPB mobile shell, so it might look a bit like android too, I'm just trying to combine so I get a neat display. thanks
PS: only a taskbar, no skin, nothing else.

advice needed to modify a skin / to bring 2 skins together

hey mates,
i'm currently using a stock 1.48 rom with wm6.5 included. it runs 1921-manila with gtx theme.
to make my hole phone gtx-like, i need of course a wm skin.
there are some out there and they are pretty well, but non of them is really the best for me.
i have one, which i really like, but the scrolling bars are very ugly. i have got another one with nice scrolling bars.
my question is how to "copy" the scrolling bars of theme 1 into theme 2 or just how can i modify a wm6.5 theme?
thanks in advance,
DN41
