easy enough fix then, I will make a "special taskbar" for you and I will leave one of the files unsigned, when you install it will ask you to remove the previous version and click yes, the new one will not install because you will get an error message saying that the certificate is not signed. Everything will be back stock. (actually found this out through a mistake haha when creating a new bar)

Problem is folks and why you see it still in the programs file is because the shellres and other dll files are core ROM files that are in use and this why the unistall method still leaves it in there even though you have removed it. Samething with some Manila mods you might find. Really doesn't do anything besides stay listed on the remove programs list.

Hope this helps and clears it up.

Ok, first of all a big thanks to Tsowen and HTCLeener for all of their hard work. I have actually used a combination of your DLL files and inserted some of my own icons or ones that I have found and that I like. So I kind of have a hodge podge taskbar so to speak, but I like it. On a side note I am on a GSM ATT Fuze so my network icons are somewhat different.

Anyway, I have been following the thread here and xda for several months and I have a question that is related. Is it possible to pull icons out of a dll file? I haven't been able to figure that one out. Lets say I just want the wifi stuff from Tsowens Elite bar and want to put it in one of my own.

Yes, using PE Explorer because that's what I like and its has a 30 day free trial all you do is right click on the icon number that has the one you want and save resource.

Re: Custom Taskbar

Okay for this unistaller this is the way it will work basically it has the files that the taskbar has so one in unsigned so it is not going to install anything in the end. First what your going to do is place this on your SD Card and double click the cab, it is going to say that a previous version of tsowen taskbar is already installed do you want to unistall and click ok, then its going to attempt to install this taskbar but you will get an error stating that the file is not digitally signed and click ok, then soft reset and presto back to stock. Tried it myself and it works.

This will only work if you have installed one of my cabs. It will not work on any other because it looks for the name tsowen taskbar.

Edit: Need to fix cab, will upload when fixed

Not sure if any one had converted these into start icons. I have attached QVGA and VGA files.

I am running a WM 6.5 ROM, and that has a different busy animated circle thingy, but when I install the taskbar icon cabs it reverts back to the older WM busy animation circle thingy.....

Yes the Wait Cursor is different than WM6.1 if someone would post up shellres.192.dll from there stock WM6.5 I will extract it and add it for you to my new taskbar.

Re: Custom Taskbar

Great that worked like a charm!

Now I'm really pleased with the HD, so much to customize. My HD now looks like this:

Is there a way to change the most upper right icon (the one that displays the current programs that are active?)

hi vin,

maybe i can help. are you refering to the start menu icon, and you wanted to remove or revert back to stock?? if so, follows below steps:-

1. rename HTCstartmenuservice.dll to HTCstartmenuservice.dll.bak with TC
2. soft reset your device

now after soft reset, your start menu icon will be reverted back to stock icon.

this will work as i've tried it on my HD with stock rom.

rdgs,
