I think I have said this before. :P

You need to replace resources in the dll to get it to look like that and not lose the notification icons.

What I do is unsign the dll, replace the resource I want, resign the dll and copy it over the existing dll. This is the only way to accomplish this.

Needed tools:
Resource Hacker
Signer tool

Resource hacker will not see the images it will only see the hex code (it can see bmp files but not png) so you will need to get something like PE Explorer to see the actual resources.

It is not as hard as it sounds.

maybe I'll give it a shot later...I'll have to extract the .cab first obviously so I can get at the dll right?

Yeah, unless you pull it from your device after you install it.

heres a little something i made just messing around

[Omega Ra]

okay...for the one I wanted to work on...I extracted the .cab and there was no .dll in there....

edit: Oh and I downloaded those two things you put up wolf, but looking at the hex of the resourses means nothing to me...it's just a bunch of numbers.... I have no idea how to change anything.

Hi -
I've asked about this in a different forum, but never had a reply. Figured I'd try here, because this is definitely a "theming" issue:

The only things in WM that I've never seen reskinned for "finger-friendliness" are the pull-down menus in standard apps like File Explorer and (especially!) Pocket Outlook. I'm talking about the menus on the top bar of the app, just below the taskbar. Here's a pic of the biggest offender - the "Show" menu in Pocket Outlook:

You need to use this stupid pulldown constantly in Outlook if you want to access folders other than the basic Inbox, and like many people I have quite a few. It's almost impossible to navigate the pulldown without a stylus. Just trying to click the "+" to expand the Inbox folders is an exercise in frustration. In fact, this one menu is the only reason I still keep the stylus attached to my Omnia -- and I'd sure love to remove it!

The menus at the bottom of the screen have now become totally finger-friendly in the various WM 6.5 ROMs. So does anyone know how to reskin that top pulldown to look similar?? Anyone who uses Outlook would be forever in your debt, because this is the #1 usability problem still remaining. THANIK YOU!
