Task bar mods?? - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

Hi, Ive only had my HD2 for a few days now and I am loving it! Had a TG01 and this is far better.
I was just wondering if there are any mods for the icons on the top task bar, I had a Diamond and was able to use a .cab from the Diamond section to change the icons to something better looking than the stock icons. Is there anything available yet or is it a case of waiting for the devs to sort something out??

I used the no-start one in that thread and it worked fine on my HD2, as shown below. Despite being for the HD.

I was only talking about the top part, the rest of the look is separate. I just couldn't be bothered cutting the taskbar out.
Install the cab and the rest of your screen won't be touched.

lol, just realised after I put the post up! I installed both cabs and its all good!!
just one more question, how do I get the bars to look textured?
thanks again!!!

You need to install MaxTTM. Run it, go to the WM6.5 tab, in Component select 'Taskbar', in Change Method select 'Special Pattern' and in Special Pattern Bar Selection select 'millski_blackgloss_bar.png'. Leave Alpha as 255. Tick 'Soft Reset After Convert' and press the Convert button. It should then reset and come up with the texture you see above on the taskbar.

Any chance you could provide a link to this MaxTTM?
Cheers!

okay it seems like a scam.
you open the wap page and ta-da a huge bill sent to your door
"Sorry, we need to identify your phone number before you can access one of our services. Please enter your number below with your country code (e.g. +44) and we will send you a WAP push with a link to our homepage."
WAP push message is what you recieved.. just delete it and ignore it.
I don't know who I gave my number to for that to come...thanks for checking that, I was slightly cautious and too lazy anyway to type that address in firefox.

Icons on top?
So since your problem was solved, I thought I would ask a question about your icons on top? Are those skins for either pdastatus or metrix? I have both but I was looking for icons more like yours. I don't like the cartoony colored look of the other icons.
Again I don't mean to thread jack or anything. Sorry

Not at all, I'm using SPB Pocket Plus 4, simply using the default skin that comes with it, which are the top four ones ("indicators"). I know the rest aren't very realistic, but I'm liking the neatness/uniformity of icon-style icons as I can't find (a whole library of) other ones like top ones. nice if I knew.
Cool thanks I'll have to check that out

How to modify Bottom Bar Key?

Hi all,
I just want to change my bottom bar to which look like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If the Start Menu button and Close button are re-positioned into the Bottom Bar, they could be easily pressed as our fingers can reach(I still wonder why Microsoft has such a stupid idea to bring those 2 button on the topmost)
Anyone have an Ideal of how to do it, please help me.
Thank u.
Anyone could help me?
Thanks in advance.
there's an app that moves your taskbar to the bottom.. i forgot its name. if i manage to recall it i'll tell you
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=428317
Really thank u.
I already tried it, and disappointed. It's has a lot of bug. The result is: I have to bring Taskbar back to it's nature position.
I'm trying active corner on FtouchSL, which can emulate two bottom corner as taskbar button with Press a' Hold. It's not what I really want, but satisfied by now.
Thank u for your answers.
ftouchsl + wm5NewMenu, works for me, I also have remapped the left soft key to open the start menu. but as I have wm5NM I don't use the start menu much.
Yeah, I use WM5 New Menu too. But it only works on Today Screen, helping me for opening new doc quickly. I like to make a interface that can be fully touch controlled ( 'cause some hard keys of my Prophet is going to break )
I don't understand, wm5NewMenu works anywhere not just the today screen.

battery icon on top right

does anyone know how to keep the battery icon on titlebar displayed at all times?
mine only displays on the today screen. but when i run a program, it disappears.
anyone the reg tweak for this? im using WM6.1 02 by cotulla on magician

You can use a software named QuickMenu.

It's a Chinese favorite software with 0409 mui support.

great app!but i was hoping of just a reg tweak as i already have wisbarlite, with similar functions but i think uses smaller memory. im only using a 64mb magician so space is quite an issue for me. thanks a bunch though
There is no registry-tweak for BatteryStatus on every titlebar I think...
oh i see. i guess il give the quick menu a shot. theres one problem though. i think it conflicts with my pointui home2 app. whenever quick menu is running, the home button shows i have notifications even if i dont, and the home button cant be cliked. but when i close quickmenu. everything is fine. dunno how its causing it. hey, thanks for your time.
I think I found something interesting with small size...
Shows battery status on every titlebar...
wow thanks again.

was anyone able to enable this on their device?

I found this in this Touch HD thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505904. The author says that it should work on older devices that don't have the new notificaiton menu available, but for devices that have it already (D2 Touch Pro2) it doesn't work.
I'd love to have this as now I always go to the power settings to check on my battery (I don't like the other percentage battery options here on xda - I like the original look of the battery icon...)
It should have been included on Topaz from the start, but HTC omitted it (see here: http://www.ppcsg.com/index.php?showtopic=105810&st=460&p=797983&#entry797983).
wow, this is a good suggestion...
you can find this in the cooked roms, Blasev Tessv1.1 has it...
I have this too, and I have a rom from udK, you can find it in my signature..
I think it's really usefull and i love it.

lol, means i gotta update my rom just to get this? is there a way .cab file for it instead? i never upgrade my rom before, just bought it last month
Exaxctly... I don't want to flash a new ROM to have this, I hoped that someone would be able to create a cab to enable this...
I was able to find it here (I'm a dumbass - should have searched for it before asking...).
For anyone who wants it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=517769 (it's quoted in the thread).
Enjoy!
there is 2 .cab file in the link, which one should i install?
sdkcert.cab
Topaz Notification Manager.cab (obviously this one, 3mb)
so what does sdkcert.cab does?
oh got it... gotta install both.
thanks!!!!

Skinnable scrollbars in WM5 or WM6

As many of you must be aware of, one of the WM6.5 additions were the skinnable scrollbars.
Is it possible to apply the same concept in WM5 or WM6?
I did search everywhere in the forum and google for this but I haven't found anything but resizing instructions.
There are no scrolbars in WINMO 5 or 6 but some programs have a today plugin also you can have second today screen
?

Like those in WM6.5???
Nobody knows or is it impossible?
Also would be really nice that scrollbars can be moved to left side!!
That for left handed users like me would be a dream!!
Try to manage your device with your left hand and you´ll understand
