Taskbar makeover

Last night I installed KabKab 1% battery increments fix and I could not get the taskbar versions 1-3 to work correctly. The number over the battery was garbled. I was wondering if anyone else saw this. I am currently running version 4 with the KabKab 1% increments and the EV icon from skyline with no problems.

I'm not having any problem with garbled numbers but my screen won't shut off during charging and the green charging icon now only shows a 100 icon, I may be mistaken but i think he updated the patch since I last installed, I'll have to try the new one tonight.

He did update the i910 driver. It is much better than the original post.

Nice job on the EV icon, Skyline! Thanks!

All (especially Grigoris and Skyline): I have the tools I need to pick apart the resource stream in these dlls, and also to edit/create icons. Now, how do I determine which icon maps to which state? Is there documentation somewhere that you guys know of that specifies for WM which resource indices map to what?

I'd like to take a crack at making some cool "connecting" animation other than the boring white arrows, and also see about doing something more interesting and colorful with the signal bars.

Interesting that it works with V4. I have the same experience with V3, but am sticking with it because I like the icons and the busy cursor too much.

HOWEVER: Obviously it can be made to work. I'm game to try and fix it, if someone (like gregoris_a) can just give me a few pointers as to where to start. I have the necessary tools already to modify icons and add/replace them in a dll.

Let me clarify my last post. On V4 it now works in 10% increments. I am using MS3 and the battery widget in there is updating with 1% increments.

Overall of the 4 versions of gregoris_a's icons, I prefer v1. However, the EV icon is in the style of V4, and the battery increments works better. That is why I am using V4. I saw a list the other day of the files in which the icons for the taskbar are located. I will search and try to find them. Skyline was trying to come up with an update to the moving icons. I am not sure where he left off with it.

I've been using these threads as a guide http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t...ghlight=taskbar & http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437307. They're HTC specific though so some of the file names don't match up.

so none of these work with the 1% increments??

To be honest, 20% increments did not work. That is too big. The 1% increments bounce around a lot. I don't mind the 10%. I think something in the 5% increments would be ideal. Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining. The Kabkab fix is much better than what we had before.

And to answer your question directly, none of the taskbars seem to be working in 1% increments from what I have seen. It might be something as simple as a reg entry, I just haven't found it.

Your taskbar's cool, but none of your posted versions seem to work properly with WozzeR's 6.5 lite rom (Omnia+verizon US), at least for me. I load his ROM cold, then setup my email + notification preferences and I get notified with sounds etc when I receive email. Then I load your taskbar(s) after which I don't get any email notifications on new email receipts.

Bummer. I really, really dig the work you've done. But I dig WozzeR's ROM more. I guess I'll have to live with the crappy default task bar.

Hi, I installed v4.0 on an omnia, but I see the glimmer of coverage.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled but I am going well, do not leave the bars of the coverage of the phone, I tried other skins tasbark and if I leave the bars of coverage.

What could be due to?

Hi to all, a special thanks to grigorios fot the fantastic taskbar, the icons are amazing too. Thank you so much.

I have a question for all: it's possible to change the background grey/black image of all folders, like that the folder program?

I don't talk of the background wallpaper image, aka wallpaper of desktop in own PCs, but just the wallpaper of the folders like PROGRAMS..

I hope to have been clear

Sorry for my english!

Ciao!
