OK, I finally made a task bar for my Touch Pro. I really liked the work going on by all you guys, but not one of the task bars quite gave me what I wanted, so I took bits and pieces of m6Silver's and TSOwen's task bars along with my own edits to come up with one for my phone. I also added support for rA since I am on Alltel. None of the task bars offered rA. Anyway, after all the edits, I signed all the files and created an install cab. You can find it and screen shots of the effected files as well as screen shots of my phone. Along with the task bar, I also edited the notification icons for the enhanced notification. If anyone wants to use this or alter it, be my guest. If TSOwen or m6Silver has a problem with the use of thier original files, please let me know and I will remove this. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this.

Tkanks to TSOwen, m6Silver, and all the people that make our phones truely ours. =D> It is the work of all of the people here on this site that truely keep me up late into the night tinkering on my phone. I hope to get it done some day.

Hey TSOwen can you tell me how to make the start menu icon transparent so it doesn't have a background? Or just make a custom icon for me? I want a buccaneers flag. I already have the image I want and everything.

You first have to make the image as a .png first you can use a free program calles GIMP and it has a magic wand where you can select an area and delete it that is probably the easiest way. Once you have the image you can use a free program called ICOFX to convert it to an .ico file. GIMP also has a plugin where you can save it as a .ico as well.

Thanks for the kind words. Means a lot coming from yoou. It took a while to get the edits done, but I am quite happy with the results. The only issues I have are:

1. The notification enhancement signal bars are incorrect. When there is one bar, none show, three and two show, two is good, I beleave four is good and none is good. It looks ike the wrong icons are referenced.

2. I want to change my WM 6.5 wait icon back to the original one I had. This cab installed the WM 6.1 wait cursor. I need to find the one I had (four small colored balls that went around) and replace the ones in the cab file.

Other then that, all is good. Please keep upthe good work. I truly love my phone

Check my WM 6.5 thread, in there just download the files and just swap out the bmp's for the wait cursor.

TSOwen.

Thanks for the link. I was able to extract the bitmaps and add them to my shellres.192.dll. Now I have the WM 6.5 wait icon. Attached is a new cab with this addition. For anyone that may want to use this cab, please note, it is for VGA devices and has rA icon replacing the E icon. For any of you on Alltel, this is what you want. You may want the newer battery icon since I used an older one from TSOwen (I like it better). This cab is for WM 6.5 and has updated icons for the notification enhancement.

By the way, TSOwen, do you know of a newer version of te notification enhancement for WM 6.5 that shows the corrrect number of bars for your signal strength? The one I am using shows no bars for one bar, two bars for three bars and I think the rest are OK. Thanks again for all your help.
