The last couple of days I have been busy creating a new taskbar theme, but that's not all. Since I'm not the first and hopefully not the last to do this, I created a .psd file so that you may all edit these icons yourself. I have created a basic theme, but I hope more will grow eventually.Don't worry I have created a .cab for those who are not interested in creating icons. The goal of this thread is not modifying the taskbar per se, but more about creating theme's using the photoshop source file as a basis. I hope others will post their modified or self-created source files as well. This is why the thread called taskbar art.
Since There is an excellent thread about modifying the taskbar (two actually) already, I'm not going to explain it all over again, just check it here.
Do read the other thread!!
About the cab file: Important, you do have to install the sdkcerts.cab posted below, otherwise my cab will mess up your system. Also install on your divice not on a storage card. For now the cab I made uses the shellres.192.dll taken from the ROMeOS ROM, which means the icons in the setting menu will be changed as well. Download the 12aon_Taskbar_Art V2.cab (XDA still won't let me upload the cab) and mirror. SCREEN SHOT:
Ok for those that like my new battery a lot I made an updated cab that contains these battery icons as well as the other ones. This is no update cab, it contains all the icons. And I name it: Taskbar Art V2.5
About the photoshop source file: I created all icons needed for a full taskbar makeover. I don't use the E, Ev and 1x Icons so they are not in my .cab but they are in the .psd file. It might miss a couple of small things, those either will be added by me or by you. The source file is 128x128 which can easily be resized to 32x32 needed for the taskbar icons. photoshop doesn't natively support icon creation, but a very good plugin can be downloaded here. The rest of the tools needed can be found in the other taskbar thread.
Everyone who created a theme or a (modified) source will get linked to from the first posts. I will not answer question about getting along with photoshop. Google is your friend. I simply don't have the time or the patience, I hope you'll understand.
For those that would like to play with the .dll files, try MSCEInf. You can use this to open any cab and extract the files that are in it.
I hope I can encourage you to play with it a bit, and am looking forward to your creativity. Love, respect and honesty 12

Reserved for even more text
It makes the font size in my volume screen to be alot more big.
What can we do about it?
Besides that, the look is amazing. Im really happy with the change.
Its hard to find a total makeover in the other threads.
though i think it might be nice to have the precentage on the battery, since its so small

It is for the GSM Touch Diamond, right?

Yes It's for GSM and Diamond/Raphael (they use the same files). I don't know how to edit them for CDMA (but I know people have done it).
very nice
Thanks for the taskbar make over I think its one of the best I have seen.
it will be a must keep for my diamond.
thanks for your hard work doing this.
Hi there, are there alternative URL for download? The current one is not working for me... Thanks much.
Another link added, 12
I think it could fit well on your skin and make it even pretier if you add the ok/x images uploaded in the other post of the taskbar editing

Hmmm no font changes in mine, the thing about the battery icons is I really like these and the percentage thingy will make them fugly. But the source is posted as well you could have a go. Can you post the ok and x icons? 12
I will try finding them, sure
About the font size, how can i make it smaller?
because its really ugly...
Im using the original 1.93 rom

Others have reported issues with that, I remember. Would you mind posting a screenshot, it helps me think. I think the problem is in the HTCVolumeControl.dll you could deleting/renaming mine, restart and edit the one in your rom with my icons. 12

First, here's the link for the ok/x buttons i told you..it still needs a little graphical changes to fit your taskbar makeover, but its surely a nice start.
about the volume, I dont have printscreen software installed, so here's a picture i found, at one of the 60 pages I just paged, for the first link =)

I guess they are located in the shellres.192.dll then? I really think the only option is to edit the HTCvolumeControl fom your rom. I'm short on time right now, so you can edit them yourself or upload the HTCVolumeControl and wait. 12
Ow and btw you link was invalid, but I managed to resurrect it (new link)
But how could I mange to get my original file back?
Its already overwritten by yours.

Just delete/rename the HTCVolumeControl.dll (to HTCVolumeControl2.dll for example). Then restart your device (the one from your ROM will be restored).

Hey 12aon,
Awesome taskbar development and kudos for not posting before it was done.. haha.. we're all glad you didn't disappear!
I just wanted to let you know that I posted up a link to this thread for the other 'geeks' on another forum (I don't think we're allowed to post it's name.. haha).

If you want me to take it off, I gladly will, I just thought they'd love to have this option as it's pretty awesome.
Thanks again,

By now I've done a few - see screenshots - that matches to (not all) my fav programs. The icons itself are transparent so they look best on a darker background. Currently they are 96 x 96 pixels - way enough for my 4x4 grid from coOkies hometab.
It's quite a heavy work because there are not many suiteable templates for clear icons around the web. So I will not promise to update them daily
Installation:
1) Download the ZIP from the link below and copy the extracted folder somewhere on your SD card
2) User JWMD Icon Changer or CSMI to replace the existing icons
3) Don't forget to save
4) Open Filexplorer and navigate to "Application Data" --> "HTC" --> "ProgLauncher" and delete all existing files in that folder
5) Softreset
6) You should be "Metro-ed"
Update 24.3.: 47 icons until now with help of pray2live! more to come!

very cool icons, I´m enjoying them a lot on my phone, one quick question, can you tell me how to re-sized them a little bit (I´m using a Samsung Omnia i900 WQVGA resolution) the thing is that i´m using them on a windows 7 theme made for spb shell http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=649362 and your icons match perfect what i was looking for but when I used the medium size they don´t look good, then when I used medium (big icon) option on spb they look spectacular but a little to big for my phone so I´m guessing that if I re-sized them a little and copy them again to phone they will look just perfect.
attach a couple of pictures to show you what I mean...
thanks in advance for any help you provide me and congratulations again for a very cool job with this icons, I'll be waiting for future additions.

Hi folks, well it's almost done! Today I start sharing the (almost) complete METRO design for your HTC HD2!
METRO
featured at pocketnow here: http://pocketnow.com/tweaks-hacks/complete-windows-phone-7-like-make-up (well some of the comments aren't nice, but everybody has it's opinion )
and as seen on wmpoweruser here: http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=15873
Please read before download: All those things were made for a Stock ROM HTC HD2! If you have a custom ROM you may have problems! I CAN'T HELP with those issues! Anyway - you may modify all those things for your own needs! If you want to release it, please give a proper credit and link to this thread! Thanks!
Let's start with the things many of you guys like - but a this time I'll put this all together in one thread - much more easy to handle this for me.

Metro Slideras shown above in the screenshots! Full credits go to ZITOUN - the slider is his work! he made it for me and never wanted to release it. There is a small glitch with the big calendar icon - nothing important - but it's working great! If you have other problems with it - I can't help - please ask him
You can find this great slider attached to this post.
Metro Wallfor the complete "look and feel" you'll need my wallpaper with the blue softkeys. Made by me using HDwall. Grab it - it's attached...
Metro Operawell the original Opera Icon down't fit to the design. So I made a new one which looks like this:
It's attached - grab it!
Metro ThumbCaldo you use the very finger friendly ThumbCal? Guess what: I've got a Metro design for that! Grab the attacked "skin.Metro.zip" - put the ZIP in the installation dir of ThumbCal and select it as your design!
Metro Slide2Shutdowndo you use "Slide2Shutdown" (please do a search - I lost the thread)? I do! And I want it in Metro design Download the "gfx.zip", extract it and replace the files in the gfx directory in your Slide2Shutdown installation directory.
I spent many many hours of time for this project - if you like it - I'm happy

A word about updates: I WILL update this stuff but PLEASE give my some time - I need a little break after this stuff There will be a theme file for JWMD Icon Changer in the near future - maybe in some days...
HAVE FUN! I hope you like that stuff!
--- reserved for updates ---
--- maybe I need this space too ---
I really love the colors that are used in your design template.
Everything looks really simplistic, professional, and very sophisticated.
You're working hard... and it's clearly paying off.
Great job!
Oh, but if you don't mind me asking... would it be possible to share (via .CAB file) the LIGHT BLUE notification "dots" -- that color is ideal for my theme. I'd be grateful if you're willing. Thanks in advance.

As written above: the slider is made by Zitoun (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=799650) - I can't help with that issue - sorry
Great work love the theme !
Would it be possible to make slider icons for Ereader and Documents tab aswell ?
Im not sure if these are already part of the theme as I have them both installed as seperate cabs and they still have the original icons not the Metro themed ones !
Thanks !

Yeh I did read that, I thought you may have added other files into the slider cab, because when i install the cab my clock totally disappears with my calendar borders as well.

Just installed this stuff. It looks great, and I will be following this thread for developments!
Incidentally, your screenshots above do not show a feint grey line between the date and alarm on the home screen? Do you know why I have one?
And also, as mentioned above, it would appear that the digital clock is completely black.

Cool. Thanks for the quick reply.
Mega-theme. The more I look at it, the more I like it. Brilliant!
Couple more things I think would fit with the theme.
With Cookie's Home Tab 1.7.1, when you scroll down to see the full quicklist, it would be nice if the date/time/alarm background was all black (or see-through). Same goes for the notification bar when you use it full screen (icons only, like in your screenshots, are not affected by this).
Of course, these are just suggestions. You probably knew about this already.

I will when I'm done. But atm I'm facing some problems..
I can't change all icons because the Icon Changer doesn't show me all the quicklinks and subfolders.
There is no white icon for the active tab on the slider bar, just the blue background.
I'm on the latest Energy ROM, and installed the stock taskbar since it fits more with your theme, but the speaker icon is still the old one.
First of all thanks to Fightspit from the Android section of the forums for the original icons and smaberg for the use of his % CAB.
This is the second revision of this CAB as I wanted to make the battery icons larger and remove grey segments. They're only slightly larger after all my retouching/cropping/resizing lol but I can live with them now .
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Even though the icons have been retouched, on anything but a black taskbar, artifacts may be noticed. As the original icons had some sort of shadow effect, which I couldn't clean without having an adverse affect on the shape of the segments.
Install 'SdkCerts.CAB' first (if you don't already have it installed) and then soft reset.
Then install the '% Circular Battery Mod.CAB' to device memory and then soft reset. CAB is uninstallable.
The CAB works on ROM 1.66, I don't know if it'll work on anything else.
I've also uploaded the original icon set, so if anyone wants to mod further, feel free .
Update: added V2 CAB (grey segments not removed in this CAB)
Another Update: Thanks to TheLynxy for the super smooth icons. Due to the excellent design and clarity of this set, these icons will look good regardless of the colour of your taskbar (no artifacts). V3 CAB added.
My personal favorite is still the first set and they took the longest to do
Update: added V4 CAB - all original icons done by me , colour taskbar friendly (no artifacts).
Another Update : BT&Headset.zip uploaded. In my quest to improve the quality of the stock icons, I've uploaded some improved BT+Headset icons. Just extract then copy them into the Windows directory with Resco Explorer or Total Commander.
Yet another update. V5 uploaded, 6.5.X friendly. (thanks to MykeChester for the screen )
I would also like this. =)
I bet dinik could do it. Oh wait. Nevermind.
Just a little levity folks.

It's just a long job of resizing them all and then hopefully someone will give me a hand (hint, hint ) putting the new files into something like Touch X's Battery % CAB.
Just give me the files and the size they need to be resized to and I can see what I can do. Maybe we split up so it´s going to be faster.

Thanks for the offer but I have completed the resizing and am a quarter of the way through putting them into the DLL file.
There is one last hurdle though, the DLL needs to be signed before I can put it back into the CAB. The last time I did such stupid things was when I had a Diamond and it wasn't problem resigning DLL files as the cert was in date.
I last tried to create my own battery icons around January for the HD2 and wasn't able to resolve the signing problem so abandoned it but I do believe a new signer/cert is available now but am unfamiliar with the new process. So a crash course in what's needed would be good. Failing that I'll just upload the modded DLL and/or the ICO's and see if anyone can complete the CAB.
Sorry can´t help with certifying the dll but I would love to have the png/ico files anyway! Is there a chance to send them to me? I would appreciate that.
And of course I´m waiting for the wonderful battery icon. The stock one is crap.
Count me in on that
I would also like this one.
Really looking forward. Hopefully someone could provide a cab asap.

Just a quick update, finished it all including CAB . However I've done it wrong lol, the icons needed to be cropped first not just resized and the icons themselves don't look good as the greyed out segments can still clearly be seen (dam transparency filter!!!!).
I personally wanted just a black & white battery icons, so I have just finished retouching every single icon to clean them up. I will just need to now actually resize them (have typically found a much faster way of doing this now ) and then finally re-CAB them. Which I will do when I get some free time during the week.
Here's what the first attempt looked like: (you'll see the greyed out segments and that it looks too small and weird in my opinion LOL)
wow that looks awesome! I like that the greyed out segments are still visible! Don´t change that please. Or maybe you can provide 2 versions?
Maybe I can help. And is there a chance of making the circle a little bigger?
lookin' forward to
Hmmm, ya it does seem a little small. I do kinda the visible greyed out segments, but I think I'll wait and see how it looks without them.
EDIT: Hahaha horstborsch, one minute before me. Having two versions sounds like a good idea.
LOL, @horstborsch & @Bluey Thunder. The reason it looks small is because I messed it up by just resizing the original icons, these original icons didn't use the full area of the icon frame and hence once resized they got a little too small for my liking. I've addressed this by cropping the originals and then resizing to the required size, mental as it sounds it should produce a bigger icon .
Regarding doing a version with the grey segments included, that should be easy enough to do after I've completed the clean (bigger) ones I'm doing right now. Hopefully I'll be able to complete the clean version today after I've finished breakfast .
this will be a great battery indicator mod for stock icons... will keep an eye on this thread...
First post updated with CAB's and original icons.
Thanks man
love your work
[THUMBS UP]
Awesome work! Installed it and everything seems to be working perfectly. Much more informative than the old 5 (or so) bars.
Oh and thanks for also posting the original icons too, I'm sure someone will appreciate it.
Hi guys,
Like most of the other tweakers and flashers around in these threads I finally settled on a look for my phone. Well at least for the next month....
Also like most I find that there is something missing from what I want. So instead of moaning and whining about in every thread I could find, I thought it was about time to put something back to the community.
Based on the GTX Icons from NRG's Rom (cause that's what I am using) and the cool icons from collosus_r (cuase that's what the ROM uses) I have filled in a small gap.
A full set of Co0kie's Home Tab icons including StateLinks and TabLinks.
Cabs available at the end of the post.
Or you could check out my CHTSLoco Skin in Post #12
Hope at least some of you like them and find them usful in the completion of your GTX look and feel.

Muchas gracias for the effort, work and sharing
Maybe by the time you get tired of the "actual" look, CHTS will be able to do the whole theme switch simply by switching from one theme to another on SD card
Keep it up and I´ll be keeping an eye (or both) on you thread. Congratulations
it will be superb house. CHTS for that I am looking forward to the day.
Thank-you for you words of encouragement. Will be working at home tomorrow or Sunday, can't remember what day it is I'm so tired. I will sort the white edges and up load somemore icons.

Thats right a FGT Skin for Loco.
Grabed a few glyphs from my store and away we go. Have a look through them see what you think. I will as always take requests for any others you my have in mind. Think I'll do a frameless version next with Transparent Backgrounds, any votes on this?
This type of thing
Anyways here's the new skin for you, what do make of it
The cabs are attached at the bottom of the post.
Additional Icons Pack 1
Additional Icons Pack 2

- Exit it
- install new .cab for Quicklinks: CHTS_Links_0216.cab
- Soft-Reset (automatically demanded by system)

Hi ForgetfulGuru, I notice the chtsloco_work file is distorted. Would you mind re-upload the copy? Thank you.
Hi certainly will, we can't have work files being distorted. I'll check all images and re-upload the cab this morning. i've also done a few additional icons, I'll stick them in the cab aswell.
Thanks for letting me know about the issue.

Updates and fixed files
Here is the fixed file for chtsloco_work. sorry about that error.
Forgot to export as so the file still had layers in it, at least that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.
Grab it from the attachments and save into \windows.
Added 9 18 other icons to the set, this probably will grow a little more as time and Loco goes by. Grab the AddonIcons .cab
You can grab a fresh install from Post #12. Just remember the usual drill
- switch off sense
- uninstall V.1
- reset
- install new cab
- reset
- enjoy the wonderful FGT experience.
All the best. Billy

Thank you ForgetfulGuru, but there is another png file, chtsloco_city.png, is also distorted. Please see attached file.
Not sure what's causing this. I'll take a look at it later. Sorry again seams to be one file after another.
Sent using RapidRead!
Fixed Again
Here you go.
I downloaded the cab myself this time instead of loading the icons straight in to \windows from my PC. I found three Files that needed fixed.
wish I could workout what's causing it. *!^%*)$ ****.
I've added a few more If you want them grab them from attached files and copy to \windows.
Or install the .cabs from post #12 for a refresh of the 3 fixed ones plus 18 more.
Any requests for more.
CHTEditor and CHTSheduler
For those how have requested them CHTEditor and CHTSheduler get the FGT treatment. Clean bright and useful icons for all how like the lighter side of sense.
Cabs are in post one so if you want to link to them please go there, or click the images to download.

Hope you all enjoy using them as much as I enjoy making them.

Hola Billy, thanks a lot for these icon sets. I´ll be using them in more than one of my themes since they also go along very well with some newer wp7 skins and now switchable also with CHTS
Hi Guys,
because of many PMs of how to mod the SimClock Widget even more than through the Menu, I opened this Thread to tell you how to change stuff, the name and the dimensions of the images and some other stuff.
Also I would very much like to see the costumizations you come up with
OK. We tried to make the SimClock as easy to costumize as possible. So we didnt work that much with manila files, but rather png image files:
There are now 47 files that can be edited.
I now will make a list with the name of the files and what they are used for. I have also included all the standard Icons in a .rar file at the end of this post.
Toggle Switches:
SimClock_BT_Off
SimClock_BT_On
SimClock_Data_Off
SimClock_Data_On
SimClock_FlightMode_Off
SimClock_FlightMode_On
SimClock_Phone_Off
SimClock_Phone_On
SimClock_Wifi_Off
SimClock_Wifi_On
SimClock_Flashlight
SimClock_Silent
SimClock_Vibrate
SimClock_Normal
There are always 2 pictures for each toggle switch. Everyone with the dimensions of 128x128 pixels and a png file. One will be displayed when the Switch state is off and the other one will be displayed when the switch is on. Using 2 images for each switch you can easily apply stunning effects. The last three Switches are for the phones profile. One of them will be displayed depending on your current profile
The Quick Link Icons:
SimClock_Alarm
SimClock_Clock
SimClock_Contacts
SimClock_Calendar
SimClock_Tasks
SimClock_Explorer
These are the Icon names for the 6 Quicklink Panel Icons. Everyone with the dimensions of 128x128 pixels and a png file.
The small Icons:
SimClock_Settings
SimClock_SmallAlarm
SimClock_SmallBattery
SimClock_SmallCharging
Those are the small Icons for the settings menu, then the small Alarm Icon beeing displayed, when you have an Alarm set, the text Battery Icon and the charging Icon for the text Battery. Everyone with the dimensions of 64x64 pixels and a png file.
Now the Circle Battery Icons:
SimClockCB_5
SimClockCB_10
SimClockCB_15
.
.
.
.
SimClockCB_95
SimClockCB_100
SimClockCB_FullyCharged
These are the files you can edit to change the Circle Battery integrated within the SimClock. Everyone with the dimensions of 128x128 pixels and a png file.
Now the last thing you can edit are the Panels. We are currently working on a little improvement concerning the Panels so this will be updated in a few hours
What I state out now will not be right for the v2 SimClock. Plz be patient for the next few hours and I will update this part
Ok thats for the image files. I have uploaded the original PSDs for the SimClock v2 so if you are using Photoshop or a similar program that can open PSDs, then you can directly overwork our files
If you have the images ready, just copy them into your windows directory and you are done
It would be nice, if you could post Cabs so that everyone can easily enjoy your costumizations
I hope you guys can fill this thread with many good costumizations

Well its only fair, if I present my little costumization first
This is my Honeycomb mod for the Simclock v2. I attached the Cab too

That is cool that you spend a thread where people can post the own modes and styles! I think it will be very full here.
Thank you for the thread! But the big thanky goes to you and your dream team for all your work!
i think that this is great idea..but i think that we could post color values too

Beautiful mod. The dreamteam sets the bar higher each time.
Can you post the modded image files separately also and not just as a cab.

Just use cab2oem and you can easily take the cab apart by dragging it on top of cab2oem.exe. A directory with the same name as the cab will be created and all contents will be in that directory (along with 3 or 4 extra files for cooking that you won't need).
edit - guess I was too slow zipping it up , but at least now you'll know how to do it in the future.

Hi Phordych,
Yes my friend, they are different. I didn't notice those posted. Anyways, I made this set for my self but I shared in case someone like it and want to use it.
It's just another option
