i was gonna use the same font as Ev/1x for everything else except the battery.

i want the battery font to be crystal clear (readable)cuz its a small size. i was looking into a digital font style... but im open to suggestions

@every1
if you have an idea for font on the battery (easy read) post the file an ill check it out. also suggestions on speaker/message icon... in the square box (same as Ev/1x) or out the box?

thanks

quick little problem, i went ahead and cooked in conflippers icon set, and as a result, everything works except for the EV icon, signal bars, and start menu(which im not concerned about the start menu). I went ahead and checked the reg's from this thread, and everything looks right. where did i go wrong? Everything else works perfect. If somebody will help me get the EV and signal bar icons working, ill go ahead and .cab it up for all the people who asked (if conflipper is ok with it). Another note, funny thing is, before i even read about the changes from 6.1 to 6.5, i tried to cook in a 6.1 taskbar theme, and it was completely opposite, signal bars worked, but battery and everything else pretty much didnt. If somebody could please chime in, it would be much appreciated.

BTW i am running 6.5 with the rhodium manila.

Thanks,

can any1 test this out for me?! (VGA) its the shellres.192.dll ( its TSOWENS tb) i'm just trying to mess round w/ the wait cursor (edit those ugly *** colors but keepin the transparency.) whoever test it out can you please post ss, so i can see what it looks like, if it worked or what i can do to it.

thank you

Edit- nevermind, i tested it and the backround showed up black. i used paint.net to select the circles, colorize and nothing. when i 1st opened it, it had a black backround (just thought it would go away)

if anyone has any ideas how to edit the colors of the wait cursor but keep the transparent backround, pls share
thanks
