First-time poster. First, I want to thank everyone posting here. I liked my Touch Pro before finding this thread, but now that I've edited the taskbar, I love it. I've seen this question/issue in the thread before, but I haven't seen anyone offer a resolution. If someone has, and I've missed it, sorry.

To make the Bluetooth bitmaps and the headset bitmaps display correctly in a gradient color taskbar, the associated mask bitmaps have to be edited. BT on Mode.bmp, BT Discoverable.bmp, BT Stereo headset.bmp and Stereo headset.bmp each have a mask (BT on Mode Mask.bmp, BT Discoverable Mask.bmp, BT Stereo headset Mask.bmp and Stereo headset Mask.bmp) associated with it. The mask includes only black and white - the areas that are transparent/invisible in the colored bitmap are filled with white and the areas that are visible in the colored bitmap are filled with black. Edit the colored bitmap(s), filling the transparenet areas with white and the visible areas with black, and save it/them as the mask. Replace the Mask bitmaps on the device the same way you replaced the original bitmaps with the colored bitmaps, and soft reset. After the reset, the colored bitmaps should be correctly masked even with a gradient color taskbar.
