Hi, I trying create the black status bar icons set for use with white themes and I foun hard to change signal state icons...
my question is : anybody knows how to add for example 7 line of indicator of signal state like this....
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
but my primary question is how to skin this signal state icons f.e. black red and so on...
I stuck here:
changed colour of signal state but it seems like the signal state icons appears like "transparenting" status bar, because it also changes default white background on programs dialogs...
Any suggestions ?????
other pics...
for illustration of my problem...
If I am not mistaken, the signal icons are all contained in the shellres.96.dll.mui file. I remember seeing them while I was looking for the battery icons (I wanted to do the same as you but with the battery).
Hope this helps.
some months ago i changed some system colors with sktools, also the background color of wm. I also found out that wm uses this backgroundcolor for both, signal and background, so i see no way to manage this Problem without changing both so welcome to the the world of unlogical confusing programming:windows mobile. Try it with a light or middle grey for both.

the registry key is:
HKLM\System\State\Phone\Signal Strength
but then you have to create your own taskbar with something like homescreen plusplus
or you try wisbar
i am currently working on the same. i create my own taskbar with homescreenplusplus
just in case you need more keys:
HKLM\System\State\Phone\Cellular System Available
HKLM\System\State\Phone\Cellular System Connected
all right

Hi,
until recently, I had a nice coloured battery indicator at the very top of the screen, over the whole width.
I uninstalled iLauncher because it used to much space for me, and installed TrayLnch instead. Now that battery indicator is gone, so I guess it came with iLauncher.
Is such an indicator available separately?

Batti is wat you're looking for:
http://pda.jasnapaka.com/batti/
You can customize the colors that are used in the topbar indicator!
there are 5 stages for which you can choose your own colors:
- normal
- low
- critical
- charging
- A/C
And you can also select a margin on the left, the height of the indicator, and at wich levels you want to switch to "low" and "critical".
Looks great, thanks
There is another thread for this, but do either of you know how to get RID of the existing battery icon in the tray itself? I as well use a different battery displayer (spb myself) but I hate the one in tray.
Also, 1-2tje, what are you using at the bottom of your screen to show you current loaded applications? I have the first icon on the right side, but none of my other running apps show up.

So far nobody has an solution for the batteryicon in the topbar!
The icons at the bottom of my screendump above are not running programs! It are shortcuts created using PHM TrayLaunch (use search) . however some programs place a icon in the bottombar while they are running e.g. tomtom, while other programs don't place an icon there. Therefor i think this is program specific.
Wish I had a photo, but I remember seeing some Today screens that inidicated the number of voicemails, e-mails and SMS messages on the very top of the screen where signal strength, the clock, volume, etc indicators are. Can someone tell me what app(s) do this?
Well, there's Phone Alarm. But that is on your Today screen, not up on the top bar. But you can put it up next to it, like this...
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I feel as if I've seen it in the area above where you've placed PhoneAlarm. Does Wisbar do what I'm looking for?
It's not this one is it?
V
^^^ It is! ^^^
What is it?
dunno but the website tat pic came from was:
http://www.vijay555.com
The screenshot shows a couple of plugins I wrote, and some other tricks.
Ok, basically, I used my app called VJToggleToday to minimise the StartBar and Bottom bar down to maximise screen space.
Then, I used a custom PhoneAlarm skin I wrote. Using VJToggleToday, that can now "replace" the standard OS Start Bar.
It's all explained here, and the skins etc are available:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=27331&highlight=vjtoggletoday
VJToggleToday is being re-written for WM5 - go to the end of that thread for the current alpha release.
I haven't converted the PA skin to the WM5 version yet. I'm in the process of doing it now.
V
Thanks! I look into this; however, the links to your alpha release of VJToggleToday don't seem to work.
Try this one:
http://www.vijay555.com/vj/releases/vjtoggletodayii/vjtoggletodayiialpha.exe
V
Thanks! Hopefully your full release will offer the option to keep the lower menu bar.
makisupa: use the configuration screen (or edit the registry directly), and just set the softkeys to 26 pixels as default. Then the softkeys will stay, but you can hide the start bar (top bar) as you wish.
In the current alpha release, both bars can be sized to whatever size <=26 pixels you want.
Access the config by launching it with the command line -config

Where is this located in the Registry?
HKLM > Software > Vijay555 > VJTodayToggle
But as I said, you don't need to use the registry, you can use -config

I need some help. I am trying to put some stuff together to make my phone cool but I need to know if I can change the color of some of the icons on the top bar? You can see in my screenshot what I need.

This is really cool man. rltoday ?
The Icons are graphics and you can found them in windowsFolder. think you have to change the colors of the graphics an then put it back in windows folder.
Yes, it is rltoday running inside UltimateLaunch. Soon as I get it all figured out I will post everything.
I can not find these icons in the windows folder. What names should I be looking for?
They are at the Windows dir

Look for the bmp files in the Windows directory, some of them are gprs.bmp, gprs_snc_PPC.bmp, gprs_connect.bmp

i see u like the styling of Bell&Ross lol
Yes, I do like the styling of Bell&Ross. I made the skin for Retro clock and just kept on going.
Thanks for everyones help but tracking down those icons is not as easy as it sounds. So I decided to go a new direction using Wisbar Advance Desktop.
Wow, nice job with the design... looks great.
nice! this was your best option as the signal bars take the background color, so even if you found the required icons, you'd need to change your background for your windows to blue in order to get everything to match.
you cant find the icons because there are none. to edit the colors of the signal bars, data arrows, etc.. you have to edit .dll files. i cant remember which .dll files off the top of my head but i think one of them is tapre96.dll somethin like that. use reshacker to edit the .dll files
1) Is it possible to change date position? I would move it to the same bar of operator logo? (as the arrow indicates)

2) is it possible to change the colour of this 2 windows mobile bars? It would be great to make them transparent
3) can I change the default operator logo
with a much colored one like this one on this pic? (yes I know is an iphone screencap )
same here. i think the date looks better at the top left as it was on the diamond. unfortunately, i have no idea how to change this though.
You can change the clock using cabs that were made for the Diamond, not sure about any of the other things. Maybe it's possible to edit some of the manila files.

Where did you get the cab for the transparent clock?
you cannot make the wm bars tranasparant that i have seen. You can change their color my using a theme in WM (not to be confused with a theme in the TF3D app).
I've the same question's
now is it possible?
sorry for thread diggig, any solutions yet? i'm figuring how to move the date up
Changing Operator Logo.
Steps to change Operator Logo:
1.Find 256x64.png file in your windows folder and edit it with your own logo.
2.Replace the original file with the modified one (Use Resco File Explorer).
3.Restart.
Find the attached image, i changed my STARHUB logo to my name.
Would really like to know how to move the date too!! Its much better up the top!

The antenna icons' entries are 30-33.
And they do have 5 bars but only 4( ~ 3 & 2/3 ) bars are visible.
So you have tried changing those icons and it is not working for you
or
did you stop at the point of examining the shellres.xxx.dll?
If it's the 1st case then
does any of the available TaskBar and Bottom Bar Mods work for you?
If it's the 2nd case then
like you changed the start menu icon do for those too and I'm sure you shall "see" that the guys are not blind
Regards!

OMG! Antennas icons must be with bars icons!
Separate antenna icons (30..33) looks BIGGER, don't you think?
May be you think it's multiplication of two different icons? LOL!
It looks like here (dll from htc):
I need just name of DLL for XPERIA.
