[WM6.5 Taskbar] Help me fix this icon - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Can someone help to get this icon properly done in photoshop or whatever? I have done as much as I could on my own (I suck in PS).
I'm trying to get it exactly as in this post, without the bluetooth icon in it ofcourse: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5335145&postcount=2248
So if someone could help me I'd appreciate it.. alot!
Icon: http://www.speedyshare.com/files/21573423/icemat_siberia.bmp
It should be resized to 32x32 when finished also

Fixed it now
Basically what I want someone to do is to fix the edges and take away all the white which is next to the head strap and earphones.

Maybe next week (if I have spare time).
O.k?

You could give it a try if you'd like, I think I got it pretty good now actually (had to change back to original taskbar (the .png file called HTCBlack_taskbar.png) because I had some issues with the transparency..
Image attached so you can say what you think!

Nice work!!!!!!!
great find! i was hoping this would show up when i first saw the video. I got it loaded and it's pretty nice to work with. One question so far....where is the comm manager located on the 8525. Im trying to find the path so i can link the settings button to it but i cannot find it. Thanks!
Edit: This is a little bigger issue for me, my clock on the device it self it correct but in the iphone launcher app it is 4 hours ahead. How and hell do i fix this? Any help is appreciated

How did you edit the .ini file?
^^^ Same question here.
I have no issue updating. I just don't know what to do.
I downloaded and will run the file. I will take a closer look.
PS: WICKED FIND! I was starting to think that it was lost to us.

Connected the phone via activesync and copied the file to my pc. Then I can edit with notepad by right click - open with etc. If that's not working for you drag the file and drop it onto a notepad icon

I do not know how to do that, but I managed to map hardware button to slide.exe. To do that you have to create a link to it (for example to programs folder). Then you can map this link via Settings >> Buttons. Only issue I am having is that the time is lagging two hours on Slider screen.

Just a guess - I don't have the application installed and haven't had that program but your phone has to clock settings Home -> Visting. Maybe your phone is accidentally set to Visiting clock and the home clock is off by a bit and the applications are pulling the time from the Home clock? It's a shot in the dark guess but worth a shot!
Well

Thanks for the reply that was actually the first thing that i checked when i noticed the problem
Clock Off
Best guess I can give is that the time isn't being adjusted for time zone. Mine is 5 hours ahead and I am in US Central time zone (GMT -6) so it is close to Greenwich mean time.
I would try to fix this myself since the source is provided but I need a developers kit and a compiler...
Edited:
Actually if I remember correctly (big IF) daylight savings time is a US thing so with DST right now that would put the offset right at GMT.
anybody figure out how to fix the timing issue

I like it, good work. I like it especially it is a 3rd party software so that I can keep my Today screen. BTW, whats the diff of yours compared to the one at the other thread?
Anyway, although getting the aye-Phone interface is good for a start, I think it ought to be able to get some artist to make a better looking interface than aye-Phone.
BTW, as suggestion (for feature), I'm just wondering if you can make your app to respond to the D-Pad (the directional button), like those (say) SonyE phone and then display another graphics to show that the button is being selected.
Design case example:
All icons are black-white. Using your directional button, it goes from one icon to another. The selected icon will have colour (depending on design), and pushing the 'action' button will make it launch the app.
Final thing, whats the difference between yours and the one mentioned at the other thread?

The Difference is that the other one was in 12/24 hour format, it has no exit button, its 1Meg in size, it has some memory leaks that people complained about. Im sure mine has issues as well so please test and let me know.
I can possible make it work on the dialpad with different icons when they have focus. I just wanne make sure it wont eat too much memory and become to slow. Im not good with graphics at all so any suggestions will be appreciated

I can try make it(i hope). Kinda newbie at programing, but i think i can make it work.
should i make it a seperate app and just make it change the config files?
think that would be the easiest, maybe.

Yep write a new app if you want and access the config files it would be the easiest. Im also new at programming. What i know i taught myself so thats why its so difficult to do this. This app took my 8 hours to write and im sure someone else could have done it faster and better. Lemme know if you know how to get the Network operator name and Signal strength and battery level out of the registry. I know where they are stored but cant seem to read data from the registry
try this one: http://www.developerfusion.co.uk/show/4640/2/
dunno what you can make out of it, since im learning VB.NET atm and have no clue about C#
found something from a previous app i made for windows, here is some of the code i used, dunno how it's done in C# but im guessing it wouldnt be very different
Imports Microsoft.Win32
Dim RegKey As RegistryKey
Dim regSubKey As RegistryKey
RegKey = Registry.LocalMachine
regSubKey = RegKey.CreateSubKey("SOFTWARE\Example")
regSubKey.SetValue("ExampleDwordValue", "0")
i think i would have used
regSubKey.GetValue("ExampleValue")
in VB but you should just try to find it.
hope it helps you in some way.
Lightweight and fast is good. As what you're doing is basically possible with WA + WAD. BTW, as for the settings, you may want to have the (4 x 4) + (1 x 4) icon grid flexible, incase people want to have large icons (less stuff to launch?). An ayeFone alternatives design, take a look here

I was thinking of removing the whole icon if you dont want it
edit: removing as in hiding
Follow Up
I got the signal strengt working as well as reading the operator name from the registry. The only help i need now is to get the battery level from somewhere withing the registry, ill update the zip files on th first post
sounds good with the provider and signal info, will test it right now.
the icons: since i just arrived home, i did not have any new icons yet. but for workaround reasons, i attached a zip-file with the original iphone-icons , and a zip-file with the alternative icons. i numbered them in the original-iphone-order and added an additional rss-icon (for the 16. field).
(i was not really shure why you choose these other icons in the release (where are they from?)), but the original icons worked just fine for me. the alternatives also.
a blurry picture with before-and-after (left->your release right-> the original icons) is also attached.

roger that! and thanks for the screen-capture application.
i'll try to install it via parallels (a mac and a pocket pc is a disastreous combination )
one request: maybe you should use version-numbers by now. its hard to follow which iphone-zip-folder is the "up to date" one.

Tried using SNAPI?
Trying to remember but I think it was something like SystemState.GetValue(SystemProperty.PowerBatteryStrength).
Will test/check when I get home
*Edit* If you don't want to download the sn api then I think wm stores all state information in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\State (battery strength, display orientation, num missed calls, num new sms's etc) */Edit*
Erg, sorry, just noticed the "Visual Studio 2003" part now. SNAPI requires 2005 afaik. Gonna have to grab it from manually from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Status\Battery
ok just tried the latest release. could it be that other file-extensions then *.exe are not recognized?
i.e.: .tr3 or .lnk (i tried to access a tomeraider file and a link to my contacts - but no luck)
furthermore, german pathnames including umlaute ÄÖÜßöäü doesnt work
attachment: was in need for a quick wikipedi /wikimedia icon
does this one have the slide lock?

Spare Original Wallpaper pic file copy for me?

After a strange sync session all my file in phone memory disappeared, including all my notes.
My system is fine, and the nothing was important on the note. However I do miss the included rainbow colored bubbles for my wallpaper. Call me old fashioned but I just like the ones included with the phone.
Anybody got back uped ones can e-mail me?
Please PM me and I'll send you my e-mail!

[Q] No contact details in cooked ROM - please help!!

Hi there guys. New to the cooking arena, so sorry if the answer is plain. I just cooked in build 23676, and most things work fine. The one thing I don't see is when I click on contact details, I don't see anything. Just a blank sheet. Is this a known problem? Any fix for this? I've also tried build 23129, and I see the same issue, just not the extra tabs.
Does anyone know what files are called for contact entry and viewing?
I've seen this problem reported in several ROMs (I *did* search!), but not a solution.
Thanks!
- bump -
Can someone please tell me what files are involved in the display of contact details? I know there are chefs that ran into this same problem. It is driving me nuts!!
I probably cannot help (I have just added 23676 with no such issue, and am a noob chef myself) but it might make it easier for others to help if you added your device to your signature and explained what kitchen you were using, and perhaps what other packages you used (or things you had removed).
I use a Rhodium and Oskitchen. I still use most of the Rhodium 2.07 EXTs but have updated some to the Leo packages. As I said, I have checked and do not have that issue.
Cheers
C.
Thanks for the reply, C. I appreciate you taking the time to at least give your thoughts. The problem with providing all the information you mentioned immediately disqualifies my request for help. I have a "non-HTC" phone (well.. a non-anything phone really) with a Windows 6.5 ROM. I have piece by piece broken that ROM apart, and am trying to insert the newest build features. So I have to handcraft a XIP, go through every package, run custom osnbtool commands, etc. No help from any of the nice kitchens.
I am stuck at this one point, and I must have flashed at least 50 ROM versions to my phone trying to find the one combination that sticks, but no luck. In my search, I have found other chefs that made "standard" HTC ROMs that ran into this. All I'm hoping is someone remembers what they did to fix it. One example is here.
Would you mind doing me a favor? Can you take a screenshot of what the contact details screen looks like and post it? I can try to go through all the image files, and embedded images in DLLs to see if I can spot the graphics that show up on the page.
Err will try - need to dig up a screen shot app etc as dont use them or have one cooked in.
About to go to bed and travelling to a work meeting tomorrow so don't hold your breath - if no one else has chipped in by the time I am back I will try.

No worries. I've waited 3 weeks on anyone responding. A few more days won't hurt.
Hows this?
Are these what you wanted? You can see the theme background coming through behind the contact picture - I dont use this screen much as I use the Manila contacts so not an issue for me.

Yes - perfect! Much appreciated! Now to start digging into the dlls.
You are my hero, crazyC! I've made more progress in a day, than in the last three weeks! I discovered that I had missing icon files in the Base_DPI_96 package. So now I get a contact screen, but the background is not being populated. So I need a little bit more investigative work. Not sure how to get there yet. But man.. progress is progress!
I really appreciate you taking the time out to help me!
I am happy to have helped someone rather than always asking for help!
What do you mean the background is not being populated? I dont understand? Are you talking about the bit where my theme is showing through?

Yes. You see how in my images I have a really blocky bitmap in the first, and a checkered background in the other? I am assuming there is a background image that goes there that I am not getting.
For your contacts, is there a special theme that you installed? I see a dark background with some clouds. If I know where that image comes from, I might get a clue.
