Re: WM 6.5 Custom Taskbar

hello,
i have installed the tsowen taskbar 6.5 but the start icon won't change. i tried adding in a custom start icon using the instructions posted on another thread (icon demarrer and shellres.192.dll.0409.mui) but i'll lose the ok/close icons and some others. also does anyone have the phcanBattery.dll for the original tsowen taskbar 6.5 (elite 6). i'm not sure how i'm supposed to edit it. and after changing the registry to point to phcanBattery.dll instead of Overbmp, all the other icons will stay intact?

thanks in advance

Re: WM 6.5 Custom Taskbar

how can I change the Start text on WM 6.5 ROM? I read your how to's but I can't see the string value 321 to change the text

that i have. the battery icon only shows up during startup and it only shows the full battery icon. if i were to plug it in, the icon will just disappear altogether. there are also no numbers on the meter. i tried editing my shellres file but that got too complicated for me.

I am back from vaccation and will try to catch up and respond to all the PM's and questions as soon as I can.

Re: WM 6.5 Custom Taskbar

so. i'm still trying to get tsowen's WM6.5 taskbar to work. i have sdkcerts installed. after i install the cab, signal, volume, and ok/close icons will change. the battery icon shows the initial battery icon (15, 1033) from shellres which actually doesn't work. will only show that icon (doesn't change based on battery and entire icon will disappear if i try to charge). i was hoping for the misfortune's battery icons in phcanOverbmp. i have all the registry settings for using phcan but from what i've seen, it still doesn't pull any icons from that file. all my default icons come from my default phcan file though...

anyone know anything about this?
(btw, using energyrom 3.0 if that helps any)

Use resHacker to edit it, on the left hand side when you open the file you will see String Value, open it and navigate to 321. If you are using PE Explorer you will not be able to.

"BatteryIconIdStart"=dword:3e9 (Hex) or 1001 (Dec)
"BaseDll"="phcanOverbmp.dll"
"BaseId"=dword:0

If not ask the chef rom if he hard cioded something into the rom to make it not read the phcanOverbmp.dll

Re: WM 6.5 Custom Taskbar

my registry settings are correct. the rom was cooked to get icons from the phcanOverbmp.dll originally so i know that i knows to look there. it seems unlikely but unless there was a way to lock it to read from the original phcanOverbmp.dll only. i'll ask and see what i find. if anything else comes to mind, please let me know. thanks.
