[TaskBar ICONS] Task Manager Icon Registry Value & Ver 2.1.35096.200 - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

I found the registry values that effect the Task Manager Icon.
Code:
HKCU:Software\HTC\TaskManager
LauncherUp
LauncherDown
LauncherIconSize
I am not sure as of yet how to edit this to change the Icon. Normal it's Binary, I tried putting a string linked to a bmp/png for the Up/Down values and the Icon becomes solid White;

How to change The selector color of the Task Manager Drop Down;
Code:
HKCU:Software\HTC\TaskManager
ManilaCustomHlDown = DWORD
ManilaCustomHlUp = DWORD
In Photoshop use Web Color Slider to pick the color you want. You'll get a Hexadecimal value (000000-FFFFFF). The blue & red need to be reversed as in PhotoShop it's RGB, but the registry reads it as BGR. Also you need to convert the Hexadecimal value to Decimal.
Red is FF0000, Reversed is 0000FF, & & Decimal is 255.
Blue is 0000FF, Reversed is FF0000, & Decimal is 16711680.
Green is 00FF00, no need to reverse, & Decimal is 65280.
I also found a newer Version of the Task Manager. The attached cab is edited (See ScreenShot);
My TaskBar Icon Rev.3 can be found HERE.
I'll update when I figure out more...

Just figure out how to get Solid Task/SoftKey Bars back in Titanium & Start Menu. Make your stwater image full screen size & put the bar image at the top & botton of the image like the attached examples.
Screen Shots of the result;

Ah ha,StWater looks great.
now something about TaskManager:
It seems that Taskmanager directly draw something on the screen,
and the icon's shape depend on the reg key,but not a picture,right?
So I just wonder if we can edit the reg key to make the icon show in BrianTaskbar style.

Exactly what I am hoping. It seems the image is embedded through the Binary registry Value, but how to convert an image to Binary. I tried that already & failed causing a required Hard Reset.
On another note, an older version of the Task Service DLL has a Icon image & can be changed. I've done it, but the older version causes the new Task manager to bug out. Also you loose Large Icon support for the QuickMenu.

The new version doesn't use icon graphic
just a binary code to point where to draw.
I think this binary code may point the position where should be draw white color
and only WHITE color is allowedl,maybe we should call it blank insdead of white.

No problem, trying to hex edited the taskservice.dll. Hopefully this doesn't cause the need of hard reset lol.

I'm looking in my registry and all I see is launcherUp and LauncherDown. When I add dwords for ManilaCustomHlDown and ManilaCustomHlUp, it still doesn't change. Is the cab file posted by the OP special?

You need to soft reset after changing the registry.
The registry DWords should be 255 for the Red.

Yea I got that part. I'm converting it to a package and cooking it in. I see it has new graphics and such, which I don't much like. Looks are subjective to my opinion but I favor the simple graphics. The old packages didn't allow for the faded colors or editing the color to the best of my knowledge. To this date, this install is the only one what allows this which is why I was having a hard time at first.

Original icons were 45x45 where this new version they are 64x64. Looks are subjective to my opinion but I favor the simple graphics.

Just do a google search for HTC Task Manager with the build #35096. The original unedited version exists on some other site. That's where I found it. I just put my icons in it & changed the highlight color from the default HTC Green to my Red.

Hum, interesting, the new packages from the HTC Mega have a Task manager version of 2_1_19163929_14 while the other version I found is 2_1_35096_200. I wonder which one is really newer. The Mega one says copyright 2006-2009 while the one I found says 2006-2008. Either way I'll convert the Mega ROM dump version to a CAB shortly.

Adding memory settings/apps icon to HTChomeplug! How?

As the title says..does anybody know whats the (exe) file of the memory settings app?so I can add it to HTChomeplug (editing the reg entries etc...) It's driving me nuts I cant seem to find the file..argh.
Thanks for your help guys..
Hi,memory.exe is in the windows folder.You can also download it here if you don't have it.After you modify registry like this :
HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCHomeplug\ and add a new key.Copy the same string value as the other keys.You can put what you want in there.

I agree with the above post, an example would be great.
My examples:
(4 and 5 are the locations on the screen)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCHomeplug\4]
"iconindex"=dword:00000000
"ResPath"="\windows\iexplore.exe"
"LaunchApPath"="\windows\iexplore.exe"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCHomeplug\5]
"iconindex"=dword:00000000
"ResPath"="\windows\memory.exe"
"LaunchApPath"="\windows\memory.exe"
For me this works better:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCHomeplug\4]
"LaunchApPath"="\windows\memory.exe"
"ResPath"="\windows\htcicon.dll"
"iconindex"=dword:00000110
Otherwise the icon will be cut. There are icon versions in memory.exe in 16x16 and 32x32, but for HTCHomeplug 24x24 is needed.
BTW: I use the official HTC-ROM (WM5, GPS).
I notice that the two ways shown above used two different iconindex.
What rule, if any, needs to be followed in assignment of this index?
Also, am I right to assume that these icons would display correctly in qvga mode only?
Is there a limit, on the maximum number of icons that can be placed on the homeplug?
Thanks for the knowledge you guys have, our device is easier to use .

The meanings of the elements are pretty simple:
LaunchApPath = which file to start
ResPath = which file to get the icon from
iconindex = number of the icon in the file of ResPath
The file htcicon.dll contains lots of icons in different sizes. For me the 24x24 icon at position 110 works best. Try it for yourself, you can't destroy anything. The iconindex effects the shown icon only.
how does one know where to find the icon files? for example, i've created a spot for PHM Reg Edit in my HTC toolbar and it launches fine, but how do I know where to find the correct icon for it?
can someone post the cab here for HTC Homeplug ... it seems to be taken out from axel3 latest rom
thanks
Can someone tell me how to configure the HTC Home Plug? right now for me it is showing ebay, and other internet links, but i want the default ones (battery, portrait or landscape, etc).

Use an icon viewer. A good freeware is Irfan View (http://www.irfanview.com/). First open the program file (e. g. Memory.exe) with Irfan View and look for icons in it. Then try out DLL's (e. g. htcicon.dll). You have to do trial&error to find the correct index.
I've done the following:
1) downloaded the memory.exe file in Marcdu81's post and store it under \windows directory. (Since I could not find memory.exe in my window directory. I used total commander to search for the file, and could not locate memory.exe. Strange? My unit is a Dopod U1000)
2) Used Rviewer to look at htcicon.dll, and noted that memory's icon index is 110.
3) Created these entries using PHM Registrry Editor:
- New key with value "7"
- New Dword decimal value with value name "iconindex" and value data "110" (without quotation)
- New String value with value name "LaunchApPath" and value data "\Windows\memory.exe" (without quotation)
- New String value with value name "ResPath" and value data "\Windows\htcicon.dll" (without quotation)
I exceeded PHM Registry editor, switched off the unit for about 15 seconds, then soft reset.
However, the homeplug does not show any memory program after this.
What step did I miss out?

Did you create the key in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCHomeplug\? Are there already six other keys in this path? If not you should change the key name to the first free number.

I created it under the correct key, but it is the eighth application that I try to put on the homeplug. I understand that you could have 8, right.? (Based on the screen capture of posting no 2)

Well, I guess so. For me (WM5, official HTC-ROM) the following content of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCHomeplug works (syntax is related to registry export, you don't need two "\"):
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCHomeplug]
"PowerIconSlot"=dword:00000000
"RotateIconSlot"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCHomeplug\2]

Comm Manager Skin Creation

I tried to create my own Comm Manager skin.
I'm not very used to programming but i'm very cabable in edit existing Programs, so i chosed to take Schaps Black Comm Manager to start from.
First i did extract the cab File, and used Reshacker to open the dll File. I replased the Wallpaper Images and then recreated the cab Installation File with ZipStar (which served me well before in creating cabs).
The Problem is, that the Installation aborts at approx 2/3 with an Security Warning (that never happend before with my other Install Files)
I dont have a clue how to fix that.
Additional Information:
I used Pics with exakt the same Size and File format as the original ones. (bmp 8bit and "fixed colors"I downt know the exact term in english)
I use the original Vodafone WM 6 rom
I want that Wallpaper (yes i know that this is a jpg and not the exakt size)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
second step would be to replace the buttons but i wont try befor i get the first thing working.
So i hope someone could get me in the right direction.
And sorry for my bad english
I know what you did wrong Before editing any .dll or .exe, you need to uncertify it, edit it, save it and re certify it, otherwise they won't work. Search for "unsigner" and "msigner"
I'll have a try thnx so far
It worked!
Thnx...
It doesnt really look like i want it, but i think that could be worked out
Glad I could help

I thought that this effect was my mistake by making a not matching "Color Selection", for i used the standard "System (Windows)" Color Table with 256 Colors at my first try.
However, there has to be a key that defines black=transparent somewhere, as there is a key that defines pink=transparent in other Programs. I hope to find that somewhere in the Installation Files and i hope it is not burried somewhere deep in the Regestry or in other Windows System Files.
But i dont had the opportunity to try so far, because i had to work in the meanwhile. But i'll try for shure tomorrow in the evening after my work.
Your Skins are very good work btw. But i think i'll not angry you by saying: If you want something to be the way you really want it, you have to make it by your own ( or find someone doing it for you ).
I quite agree with you, I am just like you, when you want it can
I finally managed to make the skin, but it looks awful due to the 256 color restriction. I made everything in trying to adjust the picture settings and the color table (the shading effects are to uneaven).
BTW:
I didn't made it possible to display the true black color. But it is possible to make a "selektive color correction". A reduction of 1%-2% black is enough to get it displayed and nowbody will be able to notice that in the picture.
Ok i have a first concept. As u can see i have not changed the buttons correctly, but it gives an first impression how it would look like when finished.
This is a real Screenshot from my device:
I'll continue on it later, when i come back from my work.
Ok it is almost done.
Here is a new Picture of my Comm Manager.
Landscape has still to come and only the butons shown are supportet yet.
what is the cab from have yu begin?

Get rid of lines in today screen

I'm try ingto create a totally black today screen.
But whatever i do, i can't get rid of the grey lines as shown in the pic below.
I use ThemeGenCE and UI tweaker.
Thanks in advance!

}
Launch UI Tweaker, and then launch the TdyScheme Changer.
Click Standard Colors.
Scroll down and select "Today Screen Horizontal Bar"
Click on the dark grey box above the text.
Change the RGB settings to 0,0,0
Click Ok
Click Ok again.
Exit and close UI Tweaker.
Bob's Your Uncle.
Note: the lines on the taskbar and the softkey bar may not change, they are (I think) part of the .tsk file and would have to be changed there.
Also, the gray lines in the HTC plugin are part of that plugin, not driven by the theme, so you'd have to edit the theme for that plugin, not the today settings.

Thanks for your reply, but that's what i've already tried , I forgot to mention it.
I think i changed every option in UI Tweaker....
Does anyone know how to change the .tsk file, with ThemeGenCE or another app?
Anybody?
Yes, ThemeGenCE can be used to remove crap like that...although I myself dont know how to do it...ahh, I miss the days of the fully changable Windows Mobile 5.0 homescreen...man, you could change ANYTHING about the GUI in WinMo 5!

Anybody who does know how????? I can't figure it out!
Seems to me the only "easy" way to get rid of them is to make a background the same color as the lines (or vice versa), so they will be invisible, at least. That doesn't help you if you were planning on using a textured background, though, eh?
Actually, it looks like once you have a theme imported, you can uncheck the check-box next to "Today Screen horizontal bars" and that should remove them...I've frankly never had much luck with this program, however, so you're really the expert here.
...doesn't help the version I have is about eight iterations behind the current one, either...

No ! you can't get rid of these lines. It is Operating System (OS) dependent.
But you can attenuate them by choosing a color for these lines.

(29/05/2009) iShell 0.32 - All change...

This is the first release of iShell. As such, there may be some bugs. If you find one, post it here, send me a PM or whatever - I want to fix them!
iShell supports Gecko and AppToDate (0.27 needs to be updated via a cab and not through AppToDate due to a change in host)!
What is it?
Currently, it's a fairly basic launcher application, built on the foundation of my "iProphet" ROMs, in the style of the iPhone. It also has "widgets" (currently one, the clock) which aim to replace other applications and so integrate as much functionality as possible.
Press the end call button to exit.
Requirements:
WM5 or above
Anything bar square screens...
400kb free RAM and 400kb free ROM.
Change log:
0.32 - Lots of changes. More efficient routines for most things, uses l3v5yExtendedFunctions to reduce code size, faster loading
0.31 - Added iShellPopulate, thanks to supbro
0.30 - Widgets!!!! Updated registry settings (images are 50x50 for QVGA, 100x100 for VGA), lots of little changes, faster loading, bug fixes, cleaner code...
0.28 - splash screens, some fixes, better drawing routine
0.27.1 - fixes some bugs
0.27 - Multiple screens, directly customisable application launching, faster performance due to bitblts rather than strecth blits (can enable scaling in HKCU\Software\l3v5y\Stretch, and transparency in HKCU\Software\l3v5y\Transparency), true VGA for vga-devices, completely rewritten loading, drawing and app database code.
0.25 - The cab now asks whether you want to use the default settings. Select yes if you haven't got a version installed...
0.24 - Adds customisable position of warning bubbles (for unread SMS, EMail etc), rounding of warning icons is better, and some bugfixes.
0.23.2 - Finally fixes the analogue clock!
0.23 - Fixes the clock, the battery in VGA, and settings should now be persistent for future upgrades.
0.22 - customisable backgrounds have arrived, along with custom text colours and some bug fixes.
0.21 - now supports VGA and WVGA/WQVGA, changing the TransitionSpeed actually works now.
0.2 - Bug fix - SMS now loads the correct path, and you are asked whether you wish to run iShell after the install.
0.1 - Release
Coming soon:
Landscape
More widgets
Square screens
Some other things...
Maybe happening:
3rd party widgets
Suggestions?

Change the values of Parm to change the parameters for launch.
Change the values of Text change the text displayed beneath the icon.
Change the ImagePath and ImagePathP to change the image
Change the Source(P)L/R/T/B DWORDS to specify the coordinates (Left right top bottom) of the image/push image within the source image. Assumed to be the top left if not specified
Change the Flags value:
0 for nothing
1 for calendar - day and date
2 for email

Transitions between the main screen and widgets can be changed via the "TransitionTypeIn" for transitions into widgets, and "TransitionTypeOut" for returning to the launcher. 0 to 3 are slides, with a different direction each, 4 is an expand style transition, anything else has no transition.
"Background" is the full path to the background image. Any resolution is usable, although only the top left portion of the image is used if it's larger than the screen.
"Red" is the red component of the text 0-255, default 255
"Green" is the green component of the text 0-255, default 255
"Blue" is the blue component of the text 0-255, default 255
"Transparent" sets whether to draw with a transparent colour or not (transparency takes longer) 0 is off, 1 is on
"Stretch" sets whether to stretch the images or not (stretching takes longer) 0 is off, 1 is on
The clock is stored in "clock.png", with white as a transparent colour when displayed.

This is written in C++, so doesn't need .NET CF and should be faster.
It's my take on the iPhone interface, and I just felt like doing it!
You don't have to use it, but try it and see...
i will wait for vga version!
same for me, I run on a diamond so I need vga.
looks great anyway
Cheers
Can You put this on storagecard? or should it be placed on device memory?

Should work on a storage card.
The SMS button may not always work.
To fix it, edit the App1Parm string to
"-service "SMS"" without the outermost quotemarks.
I'll try and fix it, but the issue is there due to the way the cab creation works.

I submitted it earlier, it's possible it hasn't yet been added to the active database - I haven't checked. If I hear anything I'll let you know.
One thing to check though, have you updated the database?
I updated database! Yes!
I can't wait until this application gets developed more!!
Its awesome, just needs more features.
BTW, I added this app to touch-innovation for you

A replacement for HTCs ActionScreen.
Coded in Win32 C++ for speed.
Applications can be configured via the registry.
HKCU\Software\l3v5y\ActionScreen\App_X
Path changes the path, Parm changes the parameters, and Text changes the text
Timeout (how long before the application minimizes) can be changed at:
HKCU\Software\l3v5y\ActionScreen\Timeout time is in milliseconds
The size of the text can be configured:
HKCU\Software\l3v5y\ActionScreen\FontSize
Font colour
HKCU\Software\l3v5y\ActionScreen\Font Red/Green/Blue (0-255)
The text at the top of the page can be configured
HKCU\Software\l3v5y\ActionScreen\Text
If
HKCU\Software\l3v5y\ActionScreen\Exit
is 0, the app will minimize, if it's 1, the app will close after timeout or action.
Changelog:
0.03 now allows the application to close rather than staying resident in memory.
0.02 Adds configurable text, clicking on the top most bar minimizes the application.
0.01 Initial Release
reserved for updates
try this one,thx!
Update to 0.02, see first post for more...
looks cool and works well!
7 items, Why no 14?
Hi l3v5y,
It's a great tool but we already have an action 9. If you split the screen in two parts, you can put 14 items (maybe a new entry in regitry to change from 7 to 14) . Another idea is to create a new tab in manila. In any case this application looks fine and I'll test it. Thanks!!.

Currently, this is just a rewrite of the ActionScreen as it comes. I'll take suggestions on what to do, and having 14 items sounds interesting!
Also, for anyone with a blackstone, if you edit the skin file and add two more App_X keys which match those of the other keys, you can get 9 applications.
Nice! i tryed it but some things are not working.
When i click at the top it doesnt minimise, it gives an error saying that it couldnt open file "".
Also tryed to change the text at the top but it didnt change, new sms and new mms arent working (nothing is opened)
maybe the problem is that my rom language is not wwe?
the rest works good, thanks!
Hi l3v5y, as above, but not tried mms, i don't use it but nothing happens when I press new sms. I have a feeling you will fix it!
What version does it say in the bottom right? (yes, I kow it's ridiculously small, but any larger and it gets in the way) I may have uploaded the wrong cab!

yes, now it works!
Just one thing, once you open the program and lauch something it doesnt exit, it stays minimised.
Could you add a reg entry or change it so it closes instead of minimise and wasting ram?
thanks

That seems a good idea.
I didn't do it, because the RAM usage on my Prophet (QVGA) wasn't as bad.

This may seem like a very dumb question, but where exactly do I go to find the "action Screen" on my Diamond? I've had it for about 2 months now and I've never seen an action screen. Is it after market? I ask because i understood this to be a rewrite of a current default setting that comes preinstalled on the diamond... Maybe i'm just have the biggest brain fart ever.

Could be the fact that I wasn't hugely specific. This is a rewrite of something the Touch Dual had, not the Diamond.
When are you going to prepare a 14 buttons version?
Hi l3v5y,
Are you developing a 14 buttons version?. Thnks in advance.
