(for example, I am around 30% actual right now, and it shows 100% on the taskbar, but correctly under Settings>Power)

Anyone have an idea why? I have spent all morning (and part of last night) researching this, trying things, and re-cooking to no avail. I am new to both cooking, and to taskbar mods -- so bear with me please. If I don't use a phcanOverbmp.dll the 'stock' battery icon (loading from shellres if I understand correctly) works fine. I have tried a variety of different phcanOverbmp.dll versions (maybe not enough?). I also don't seem to have any trouble with the rest of the taskbar -- I can replace shellres.192.dll and tapres.192.dll and as long as I also include an updated CDMA_RSSI_PPC.dll all the rest of the taskbar icons including signal look great. The battery icon (via phcanOverbmp.dll) is turning my hair grey. I have made myself dizzy trying to put to good use the information I found here and in tsowen's thread here. I figured I would ask here before I do anything drastic like sacrifice a chicken...

Any advice?

EDIT: I am not editing my own DLLs, I am just downloading ones already made, so I have never done anything with sdkcerts or the like -- I have assumed thus far that the phcanOverbmp.dll versions I have downloaded were already 'signed' -- is my frozen battery possibly related to certificates or signing?

When using custom battery icons/taskbars you may need to install nuetools battery utilities. I am also using tsowens taskbars and they work fine
