If you don't mind answering a little a question, please kindly read on:
I've installed your 6.3 and was really amazed with how beautiful the task bar can look
However, I ran into a minor problem.

With the new official ROM on the Touch HD, they introduced some "fix" for disappearing GSM connectivity (I was not affected by this bug, but anyway). It has something to do with GPRS auto attach or something alike.
So now, the system doesn't look for the availability of GPRS/EDGE connectivity after, e.g., you disconnect the device from USB/AS.
And the beautiful blue "E" icon is replaced by the standard "E" (226.ico in your first post, in LargeTitleBar.dll), which is "grayed out".
Is it possible to replace this ugly icon with your "E", which could also indicate that GPRS/EDGE is not currently attached/available?
Thanks in advance.

Can you give me a screen shot so I know the Exact "E" Icon you are seeing now. If its the one I am thinking then no problem I can fix it for you.

This fix is for those who were on MightyMike's ROM and still had the stock WM 6.5 start icon and could not change there shellres.192.dll.0409.mui file or rename it.

tsowentaskbar 6 elite WM6.5 Version

BT Discoverable.bmp
BT On Mode.bmp
BT Stereo Headset.bmp
CDMA_RSS_PPC.dll
GPS-icon.bmp
GPS-icon Mask.bmp
HTCVolumeControl.dll  
notify.dll.0409.mui
outres.192.dll
pchanOvermbmp.dll
PictureMailRes.dll
shellres.192.dll
Stereo Headset.bmp
tapres.192.dll
tshers.192.dll
VoiceCmdRes.dll
WLMMessengerResources.192.dll
_setup.xml

Since HTC used the the phcanOverbmp.dll to skin the pin dialer and add extra icons to the taskbar, I used this dll to do the skinning of the WM6.5 taskbar. Which worked out perpectly. For this dll to be used you will need to import these reg entries:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\ResOver\Bitmaps]
"BaseDll"="phcanOverbmp.dll"
 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\ResOver\Bitmaps]
"BaseId"=dword:00000000
 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\ResOver\Bitmaps]
"BatteryIconIdStart"=dword:000003e9
 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\ResOver\Bitmaps]
"BatteryIconLevels"=dword:00000065

Here is the updated WM 6.5 version with the dll's straight from WM 6.5 (only for those running 6.5) with this version GSM users now have colored bars. As always same rules apply as any other taskbars. Any bugs or problems please report back. With this new release most all the icons are controlled by the shellres.192.dll file such as battery and other icons that were located in the phcanOverbmp.dll as far as can be seen WM 6.5 does not come with a phcanOverbmp.dll but will read the file if installed. I have elected to install the file because with the new shellres only 9 battery images are located in the file verses the 101 battery images in the phcanOverbmp.dll

For other WM 6.5 taskbar cabs and development of the taskbar here is a thread at XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503647

Alright here is the cab for all my Verizon RevA people, just install the cab below it replaces your tapres.192.dll file for the Grey E you will have a Rev A Icon that matches taskbar6

Had to make a correction to the WM6.5 Taskbar, left the Ev Icon's out so problem is fixed and files/cab updated.
