Since there are quite a few differences between the WM 6.1 Taskbar files and WM 6.5 taskbar I have created a new thread dedicated to WM 6.5 and the taskbar. This will not be as technical as my previous taskbar thread. For methods on how to edit a dll, what a dll looks like, how to replace files and so forth please refer to this thread http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=54514 Please remember this is a work in progress since WM 6.5 is new so there are going to be a few issues at first but we will work around it.

Here is the rundown of the basic files:

- shellres.192.dll: Signal bars, sync icons, Wifi, 3g (G, Ev, 3G, H, E, 1x) syncing+receiving data icons, battery Icons
- tapres.192.dll: controls G, Ev, 3G, H, E, 1x
- HTCVolumecontrol.dll : Volume icons
- Outres.192.dll : Message icons
- Notify.dll.0409.mui : Alarm icon
- GPSAux.dll : QuickGPS Icon
- CDMA_RSS_PCC
- notify.dll.0409.mui: Alarm
- PictureMailRes.dll: Picture Mail
- tshers.192.dll: New Network Detected (WiFi)
- VoiceCmdRes.dll: Voice Command
- WLMMessengerResources.192.dll: Windows Messanger

For the Bluetooth Icon - There are two bmps that WM 6.5 uses to display the BT & headset icons on the Transparent home screen. One is the standard file, i.e. "BT On Mode.bmp", and the other is a background file, "BT On Mode Mask.bmp". The Mask file is the negative/transparent background of the regular file. The Mask files will need to be provided along with the other files in order for the BT top bar icons to display correctly on the standard transparent home screen. Otherwise, the system will use the previous (stock) Mask file, which cause the distorted image.




Known differences with WM 6.5 - most everything now is controlled in the shellres.192.dll file such as battery, signal bars (GSM) and your GSM network icons 3G, E, H and G. WM 6.5 does not come with a phcanOverbmp.dll but will read it with the correct registry edits. Some taskbar developers are choosing to use it Since HTC used the the phcanOverbmp.dll to skin the pin dialer and add extra icons to the taskbar. You will need to place the following registry edits into your phone or if your a developer into your cab in order to have it read correctly:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\ResOver\Bitmaps]
"BaseDll"="phcanOverbmp.dll"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\ResOver\Bitmaps]
"BaseId"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\ResOver\Bitmaps]
"BatteryIconIdStart"=dword:000003e9
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\ResOver\Bitmaps]
"BatteryIconLevels"=dword:00000065

Work around for the battery images since WM 6.5 they are located in the shellres but only 11 icons are included so for those who wish not to use the phcanOverbmp.dll due to the dialer skin take the old phcanOverbmp.dll and delete all the bmp's and icons other than the battery images which should be 101 images starting with Icon Group 1001 now save the file as phcanBattery.dll make sure your registry is set as below:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\ResOver\Bitmaps]
"BaseDll"="phcanBattery.dll"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\ResOver\Bitmaps]
"BaseId"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\ResOver\Bitmaps]
"BatteryIconIdStart"=dword:000003e9 (Hex) or 1001 (Dec)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\ResOver\Bitmaps]
"BatteryIconLevels"=dword:00000065 (Hex) or 101 (Dec)

Make sure you double check and you deleted everything out of the .dll other than the battery images. Tried the above mentioned technique and it worked correctly.

Below you will find the "STOCK" WM 6.5 dll's associated with the taskbar

I've made a couple of changes to the Bear-Bonz Taskbar, including adding a revA icon. I have also uploaded a GSM version, too! Everything is located here.

Thanks for the task bar, I love the look of them. I do notice when the blue tooth is enabled, it turns to the default white blue tooth icon. Plus is Rev A the same as EV?

Thanks

Rev A is short for EVDO Revision A
EV (also known as EVDO) is Revision 0
