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).
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=570161&postcount=1112
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,

@davidguate
of course i will and since you are the first to ask, i will start with yours before anything else
@ davidguate:
i added the icons you requested.
i see there are a few more in your last screenshot but i couldn't identify which.
please take another one.
cheers
fantastic work, antaed!!!
my setup is nearly complete, and I have a few suggestions for your next 'extras' pack if you don't mind...
(I also posted to your slider thread, I'm in need of 'facebook' & 'call history' in the slider)
√ MaxTTM
√ NetFlix Mobile
√ IMDb Mobile
√ Guitar Hero (although your guitar made for davidguate could suffice)
√ hd2Wobble
√ Tetris
p.s. to anyone wondering -- the clock in the screenshot is "kalos Silver Oracle" -- goes really good with these icons/slider
Hi, thanks for icons. I will install the extras they look great.
Thanks again.

Thanks man, I will make your icons today once I get home from work.
That is 16:00 CET.
EDIT:
For the slider we'll have to wait for a couple of days until Santod can find out how to fix an unexpected issue.
Although the new icons share the same size and position as the others, they appear differently on the screen.
This requires some mode9 editing which I have no knowledge about.
I could try to resize them in photoshop but I would prefer to wait for the "healthy" solution instead.

Hi Davidguate,
Install and run this app on your phone, it is very intuitive to use.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567080
Don't forget to clean your icon cache and soft reset (steps 3 & 4 from the installation guide in my 1st post).
I could also make you a cab but I need the EXACT name of each icon you want to change.

Hi, i wonder about transparent bars att the top and bottom, where did you get them? Are they still transparent in the web-browser?
Thanks in advance.
Hi Antaed. I installed the extra icons they look really good, i just want to show you some others that im missing.
Thanks and keep going!
Edit:
What about your slider, is it working on Artemis 8? i would like to try it too.

I assume you're referring to the (top) taskbar and (bottom) softkeybar -- there really is no such thing as truly transparent -- just "skinned" to match the wallpaper so they appear that way.
Have a look at --this post-- in the screenshots thread, it's a short explanation of how to accomplish this...

i'll do those today. why isn't your opera icon showing? it works just fine for me, have you installed 9.7?

work in progress...
a little something I've been working on...
I found the "m6_Taskbar_WM651_Black_Metal" goes nicely.
I created the bottom toolbar buttons with the ring bezel from antaed's icons.
(also copied 'em for MaxManila 3.0 notifications)

Hi folks, well it's almost done! Today I start sharing the (almost) complete METRO design for your HTC HD2!
METRO

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

THANKS IN ADVANCE!
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.

So I decided to have a go at making all sliders Metro/WP7 style.
Maybe some people out there will appreciate this. I have also included my custom lock screen, which is just a modified version of the default Windows one.
All tabs have been modified as you can see from the screenshots.
Attached Files...
Metro Slider Icons - This is just for the main Sense tabs; Home, Email, Contacts etc etc.
Metro System Sliders - This is for all other sliders; Contacts, Clock, Footprints, Twitter, Media etc.
Lock Screen - The lock Screen. All files needed are in the cab. Please make sure you have any other lock screens removed before you install this. You need the default lock screen on for this to work.
Transparent Bottom Curtain - Makes Sense bottom curtain transparent (does not effect other system sliders).
Metro Blue Slider - Metro Blue Slider as requested (both sense slider and other system sliders).
Metro Slider Icons +Transparent Curtain - Same as default one but with a transparent bottom curtain.
Restore Stock LockScreen - Restores stock LockScreen
Slider Fix - Fixes verticle lines on some roms on the slider.
This works on my 1.72 Stock Rom, haven't tested it on any others. - Also works on Stock 3.14 Rom
Feedback, comments and pointers are very welcome!
They LOOK fantastic I think I have just found my new Slider.
One small request could you make the slider bar transparent?
Actually
Two small rquests could you also make the selector box around the slider icons blue. RGB 0,158,255 fits with the metro theme.
I have attached Grabs to show something similar, tho this theme is no where as complete as your. and I managed to edit the slider to my taste, but I don't think I could complete a full theme yet.

The welcome/lock screen is by Cendaryn
My edit to have the six icons on it, hope he dosen't mind to much.
What do you think. Trans slider and blue box. Hope you can, thanks in advance.
Very beautiful i like thx u by the way Artemis rom can run it?
hi, I tested the sliders and I report you some bugs:
-in almost all tabs I have the graphic bug you see in attached pic
-lack of new icons such as documents and programs tab
The tab is nice, hope theese bugs could be fixed and maybe get the slider bar transparent
I have attached 2 more cabs, 1 for transparency and another one for metro blue slider.

Thats a strange graphical bug, maybe the transparent bar will fix it?
If you can provide manila files of these missing tabs I can make update it to include those. I will also try and find these files on XDA, as I don't have those tabs myself.
I attach a Programs Tab standalone cab I found (disable sense-install,-soft reset-enable sense), if you need for tests.
and here's a thread about document tab.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614125&highlight=document+tab
Hope can help it, those tabs are both included in latest Artemis ROMs ,so I don't know if what I linked here works or is useful to you
EDIT: transparent cab does not work for me (manila 2.5.20) , could someone else report about this?
Fixed the transparency Cab, re-download and re-install. My bad on not converting the file to QTC.
Working on other tab icons.
Install this addon to see if those icons change now to suit. If they do I will then re-cab the complete file again.

Ok, now the transparent cab works, I can see the new document tab icon when I am on another tab, but when I switch to the document one is displayed the stock icon
you're on the way , just another adjustment and will be perfect

Strange, it should work no problems, cant test it myself.
Open the CPR file in notepad and edit the first line of text to suit, then you MIGHT need to rename the file as well to LS_LockScene_480x640.cpr
Not enitely sure if that would work. Remember to reboot your device.
/apologises if that's what you already tried!
ok when i do that it saves it as a text file
ok i got it finally lol

thanks, you got it! working good now .
Can't say about programs tab cause I've not yet updated my ROM, so I have only documents tab at the moment, but if this work, it should also that one.
The slider looks great, nice work.
Now a question off topic: I'm using CHT 2.0 and like the metro look a lot.
I cant get the lockslider to look alike, can you help me?

I had this wallpaper kicking around for a while and really liked it but it needed some cool stuff to go with it, so I played around for quite a while and this is the end result! The theme cab updates:
Toggle switches (Airplane, Phone, Wifi, BT, Silent, Data, Vibrate, Restart Sense/Device - psd template in source zip)
CHT Softkeys (only the five shown - psd template in source zip)
Softkey background
Email and SMS widget skins
Music widget skin (from BLUE SK-i)
Page Indicators
hexClock Widget (in Post #2)
The Hex WP folder contains the 1440x800 main wallpaper, the 480x800 lockscreen wallpaper, and the 480x800 taskbar skin wallpaper.
In the source zip you'll find folders for each element of the theme including any photoshop psd templates you'll need to extend the softkeys and toggles, etc. You will also find a folder containing the icons for the Page Switch Link icons (down the left hand side of the screenshots) along with the template again for you to make your own.
USER ADD-ONS
Notification icons and bubble HERE and HERE - Thanks to mcluvn
Please ask any questions or post requests and I'll help if I can.
Enjoy
hexClock Widget
OK, so to match the theme I wanted an equally cool clock so I created the hexClock. The inspiration came originally from the BobClock widget that a lot of the android themers are favouring at the moment, but I had also liked playing with rotation in the Vertical Weather widget I made so figured it would look good with the date rotated! And just to add a little extra I have written the widget so that a press on the Hour digits will access the World Clock page (or Clock app if specified in CHTE) and a pres on the Date element will access the Calendar screen (or Calendar app).
In addition to this so that you can use the clock with any theme I have made it fully user editable through the registry so you can specify seperate colors for Hours, Minutes, Weekday/Month and Date. Also, you can specify the opacity of the background - anything between 1 and 100%. DO NOT set this to 0 or you won't be able to move or resize the widget in Edit Mode. All reg keys are in HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila, and any changes made take effect instantly without the need for a restart.
If you want to skin the background the qtc filename is 09f43b82_manila, and if you want to substitute your own font then just select a standard ttf font and rename it dunchexclockfont.ttf, then copy/paste/overwrite to \Windows on your phone.
Enjoy

No need for BLUE SK-i then, all you need should be in the h-eX cab and WP folder
?

You need to make sure that in CHT Editor you have the Quicklink/Freelink snap to set to 1 pixel otherwise you'll never get them lined up. It is a pain in the arse to get them in exactly the right place - it takes ages - but the effect is great when you get it right

Follow the link in the first post to the Page Switch links in the BLUE SK-i thread. Install them, then use the Page Switch icons in the hex source zip.
I take it you figured out how to resize the quicklinks now - Edit Mode, longpress quicklink, smaller/bigger.
thanks for sharing bud, looks really nice !!
How did you get the am/pm transparent or how did you remove it? I cant even get em to change colors when I edit the reg.
