WM 6.5 Custom Taskbar

Hi taskbar heroes! Are you having a look at the most recent WM 6.5 builds? There's a sort of new "magnified" taskbar popping out when tapping good, old-fashioned taskbar icons: it gets to display very big icons, located in the shellres.dll (ther should be new slots, as I got it), try to see HERE and you can see a screenshot, the upper right one.
Are you planning to update your creations with proper-resolution magnified icons? For example on gadgetfreak's taskbar you get to show the icons (though visually degraded), but not all of them are correctly linked (for example I get HTC Start logo in place of the WIFI signal...)... that would be great!

I would say we will probably wait until things solidify and stabilize. I may be wrong on this, but between Tsowen and myself, I think I am the only one actually using 6.5 right now, and I'm way back on 23009. Until MS stops changing everything, with each new build coming out in rapid fire mode, it just isn't worth it yet for us to even try.
