PPCGeeks - Custom Taskbar

This version is for those who have been getting denied access errors or other errors due to the new RHodium Manila basically if taskbar5 worked then this one will for now I have extracted all the LargeTitleBar files and other files that were causing problems. Below are the listed files included in this one. This is not an update just a "lite" version of the previous one until I get everything 100% perfect with the Rhodium Manila and other files. Next update I hope to have these problems fixed along with a new battery and other updates and corrections. If the full version works for you as it has for me then no need to do this version.

Code:

I spent so much time changing icons, i don't even know if i included them all in this preview, haha. There are 3 versions of the shellres.dll included in the rar, one with my newly styled htc logo, the old htc logo, and the round windows logo, choose your poison. Just remember to rename the file to shellres.192.dll or shellres.192.dll.0409.mui accordingly! All of the other files should just be replaced with the ones in your windows folder. I know this is a pain in the *** for some, but it is actually really simple. I am sure tsowen, or someone else, will be along soon to help me out with a CAB file for all the rest of you people! ---CAB's Added!---

Don't fret GSM people, I will have an update soon with the known changes that work for your taskbars. Maybe one day we will figure out how to change your signal bars!

As always comments, criticism, and DONATIONS![see sig] are welcome.

The RAR file includes all of the dll's. And the three zip files are the CAB's [big thanks to tsowen], just choose which start icon you would like!
[The first ZIP is the new HTC icon, second is the old HTC icon, and third is the round windows icon.]
[Also included is the new version of HTCVolumeControl in case you are encountering any problems]

Nice work indeed and here is the cab for you. All registry edits are in so install sdkcerts, misfortune cab and nuepowerdriver (cdma only for nuepower), also did the other cabs for the two versions of the start icon you included HTC Start, and Win Round.

Sorry for the repost but I hosed up my original post with an improperly phrased question. <blush>

Negative he has 1.0 verses the 1.6 mightymike sent me to use.

Edit: Below is the one that is like MightyMikes ROM and my taskbar with Misfortunes icons to go with his taskbar.

You must be installing the wrong thing, the nuepowerdrive has no icon's in it what so ever. Try this link here http://www.nuerom.com/nueDownload/download.aspx?id=40

its not exactly a file its sorda like a subfile once you click cdma, you dont click anything else in the top like how youve been clicking cdma, once you click cdma it should be on the bottom check this out..............

I'm getting the old problem where the OEM Signal icon appears whenever the signal is over 0 bars. (see screen capture). I notice that there are 6 bars on this icon and my registry shows a setting of 5. Should I change it to six?

BTW- this is a really incredible set of icons.

UPDATE: FYI, changing that registry string to 6 got everything working. The only thing I notice is that it seems to take a long time for the signal strength to change on the icon/meter. I really don't care, as long as it works. (And this probably has nothing to do with the icon- I was just noticing.)
