Re: Custom Taskbar

tsowen, can you include the htc logo in your new and upcoming project? as an option maybe?

Re: Custom Taskbar

Here is the latest battery set I made for myself I figured I'd post in case anyone wants it. It is only for ten percent increments fyi

and for parasite81 I didn't make these icons but I did put the work into converting them and adjusting the brightness and putting them into the .dll

Re: Custom Taskbar

Here is the first of the new batteries: This is QVGA ONLY, and will work with the Tsowen Taskbar 3.

A special shout out to Jimm98y at XDA for his allowing me to use his icons for this.

Re: Custom Taskbar

Here's a preview of the next set of battery icons:

What I would like to get from everyone is how you would like me to proceed. Do you want the battery to meter every 10%, every 5% or single % points? Each dot will gray out starting at 90, then 80, 70, 60, etc...

If I just do this as an every 10% set up, do you even want the numeric percentages on the icons?

Re: Custom Taskbar

Introducing my latest set of battery icons: The Revolver Battery

http://i418.photobucket.com/albums/p...eryPreview.png http://i418.photobucket.com/albums/p...verSamples.jpg

The first set has no numerics and will give you a read for every 10% drop in your power level. The second set has a single digit count. Your % is tracked first by the number of dots, then the number, so a battery level of 85% would have 8 colored dots, and the number 5 in the middle.

I intended these sets to go with Tsowen's TB 3 (My favorite), but they can be used for any set. I have also updated the HTC Large Title Bar dlls to match these new battery icons. Those will be a complete match for TB3.

Bro here is the SS. Actually battery is working now too. Just the idol signal bar still out of wack. This is my favorite icon set. So clean and classy be great if you can find out why it's doing this. I know Juggalo 0.08B uses your icon set, and it works just fine.

Thanks for this info this is very helpful and I will post this under the FAQ on post #1

tsowentaskbar3 has been updated to version 4 thanks to gtp from XDA you can go to post two to get the cab or download the file new dll's.zip and install the phcanOverbmp.dll
Here is what was fixed.

i'm using your tsowentaskbar3V1.3 - many thanks for this one! it's pretty simple, but i like it very much. while using it i've found several issues with phcanOverbmp.dll file. you've missed 27% icon in resources and mixed 44% and 45% with each other. because of missing 27% all icons have been moved to one step below and there was a problem when device was 100% charged (there was no resource for this level). i've seen someone already reported this problem before but i thought you have no time for fixing this while working on your new projects. so, i have fixed and resigned the dll file (see attached) and now it works fine. feel free to update your cab file with this file (i didn't want to do this as it would cause a lot of mess, you know).
cheers,
gtp

PS: anyone who also using tsowentaskbar3V1.3 can use this file to fix the issues i've mentioned above. just unzip the attached file and copy it to your \Windows\ directory with any file browser. if it sais "access denied" or something just rename the old file in \Windows\ directory and copy the new one again. you can delete the old renamed file after a soft reset.

DIAMOND USERS: This file will not work correctly with the HTC Diamond. Igotgame discovered the structure was a bit different for the Diamond, vs the TP or Touch Vogue. I should a version that supports your phone up later this weekend, once I get caught up with the Honey Do list...
