Any ideas on how to fix this up so I can do the replacement? Thanks in advance.

And I got this response.....

also wanted to say (not directed at the previous poster), that for those people who are having trouble doing this, following the directions on the 1st page, i am now able to change out any of the icons that i want. so the directions really do work!!!!

The problem was not replacing the .dll file its self, it was the .ico graphic within the dll file. I do want to thank Burgside Tiger for your input because pointng me back to the first page let me to find another suggested program, ResHack, which replaced the icon without any problem and was much easier to use than what I was using previously.

Long story short, thanks for the input and I finally have a rA icon that works on my phone. This is the first time I am finally totally happy with a task bar! Thanks to everyone for all your hard work developing these things!

Looks like my multi-icon isn't working right either.

Should I still try to reinstall the shellres files?

I installed just shellres.192.dll(win round)- my Start menu is the shellres...mui. So I'm hoping that this file will just fix the A/S and multi-message icons.

you have to change my shellres192.dll to shellres192.dll.0409.mui to make it work properly. and if you want to keep your start icon, you are going to have to replace the start icon included in my file

Thanks to the people that are getting their problems figured out and then letting other people know how to fix them as well!

here is the shellres file... also my start icon is plain white so i was wondering if you can crop the enclosed .png file i circled in red as my start icon, but only if you can convert the area around the icon into transparent so it looks like the v5.7 taskbar start icon, if you cant can you put the v5.7's vista orb in please

THANK YOU very much dude i appreciate this alot!

Ok, well, I am finally COMPLETELY satisfied with my taskbar. Thanks to Tsowen and Misfortune for the files. The only change I wanted was a different battery so I replaced all of the battery icons in the tsowen 6v2 phcanoverbmp file with the ones from misfortunes v2 taskbar. An this is the result



and



I have attached the phcanoverbmp.dll file for you in case you would like it....

Thanks Gary, that looks good. Few people have PM'd me and asked if I could make a version 3 of my taskbar6 with Misfortunes awsome battery, after discussing it with Misfortune he has gave me the green light to do so. All credit goes to him for this next release and Misfortune if I haven't said so already your icons are top notch man! I am loving the taskbar and all the icons you have created from scratch. You have some true talent my man and please keep up the good work!

ok, so after i started to get the hang of this on qvga, i told my chick i'd make 1 for her, give it sum flavor (she has diamond, vga)

I do NOT take all credit, i am still using TB6 elite as base, thanks tsowen, and for the signal bars, thanks adam, and any1 else if i used your icon as a base w/ minor edit. but i did do sum new icons (roaming, signal, data active/inactive, etc. just take a look


Row1, start
Row2, 1x, Ev, roaming
Row3, in call, searching 4 signal, signal, data active, data inactive
Row4, missed call, voicemail, text, email, multi message
Row5, speaker phone, speaker vibrate, speaker silent, speaker on

a couple ss



i might change a couple things or add sum stuff, but she likes it so thats good 4 me.
