I have been driven mad by this over the last few months (not directed at Jstine or any other chef), but I have learned that what seems simple on the surface is so much more complex than a file with different icon images. WM 6.5.x is still considered bleeding edge, and component dll's are being updated almost continuously as the OS continues to evolve. I have favorite taskbars that worked fine with Mighty's Love2 and other earlier 6.5.x ROMs. If I try installing on any newer builds such as Jstine's it can break a lot of things by replacing HTCVolumeControl.dll, shellres.dll, etc. with older, incompatible versions. Hence the reason why chefs need to spend extra time tweaking non-stock taskbars for any new builds. Once the "official" core files are released from Microsoft this will likely get easier.

Or maybe not...
