I notice that if I apply an older WM 6.1 to my 6.5.3 device, I get the old style popup/context menus where all the options appear on one screen, rather than the newer, larger, more "finger friendly" menus which require scrolling up and down to see all options. I like the old-style ones better.
Unfortunately applying an older theme also seems to have the side effect of messing up some of the icons on the bottom menu bar so that they either don't display at all, or display incorrectly. Is there any way to cause ONLY this old-style menu change to occur, without messing anything else up? Either through a registry edit or some other way? Alternatively, is there a way to fix the bottom menu bar on 6.5.3 when a 6.1 theme is applied?
I haven't done any theme editing before so if anyone could provide any assistance it would be greatly appreciated, thanks...

Is it possible to change the taskbar icons on the Snap? I've done it on my TP2 but not sure if/how I can on my Snap.
Any help please?
search for roloracers colored top bar icons in the excalibur forum
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it but it didn't work
I had trouble with Roloracer's implementation too on my stock Dash 3G. But Ookba's 3volution ROM has a great built-in set, and once installed, you can easily overwrite with Roloracer's icons if you like them better.
You need the files from these two comments:
Roloracer
NGRZ28
INstall both and then go to your homescreen settings and choose the panel: Sliding Panel NRG
Mayb you have to optimize it with cHome.
It's working on my stock [GSM] HTC Snap...
I'm new to the Windows Mobile environment and have searched for HOURS for a solution to this issue. This has been a very humbling experience
Regardless of the icon set that I use (installed as a Tap Icons component using MaxTTM v4.1), the icons appear cropped (as in attached screenshot). This occurs regardless of the icon set - even for those from the Rhodium forum specifically.
Am I doing something wrong here?
WM 6.5 Professional
ROM (OEM from US Cellular) version 2.01.573.3 (10/16/09)
TF3D v 2.1.19202217.5 (Per MaxTTM Settings tab)
Sorry for such an obviously NOOB question. Please let me know if additional information would help.
Thank you!!!
it is not only you. I got the exact same setup and have the same problems. I have found two sets of icons that work:

It's because manila uses the top left corner of the image. Icons in 2.1 and 2.5 sense use only the top left hand corner of their entire 128 by 128 size
The ones you used are centered, so it scaled them up to 128 by 128 and then used only the left hand corner of them. It's just because you're using the wrong kind of icons .
Thank you both for your feedback. I thought it must have been something within Manilla itself because it was such a widespread issue affecting most component addons.
It is frustrating that it is so limited the way it is (albeit still better than Blackberry - a platform I have come to despise).
Someday when I have time/ambition, I it might be worth loading a custom ROM. Until then, thank you for your comments.
Even with those that say for rhodium manila 2.1? huh? will have to look out for it in the future.
I also had the same problem.
The solution is to create a 128 x 128 transparent image, and add as a new layer on top the icon image sized at 64 x 64. They will also need to be offset slightly.
As I cant post a link because I'm a newbie, run a search in the forum for the thread headed:

I'm looking for infos about how to customize the bottom start bar, so far i have only found how to disable the start et ok softkeys :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\BubbleTiles]
"TextModeEnabled"=dword:00000001
"HardwareStartKeyEnabled"=dword:00000001
"HardwareDoneKeyEnabled"=dword:00000001
I'd like to know how to :
- skin the buttons (for example, change them from rounded to squared)
- relocate the start menu on top (classical 6.5 location)
- skin the menu, increase or decrease the bar thickness...
any infos & links are welcome !
thx.
+1 but also for 6.5 and below.
The persistent task and menu bar is one of the things I hate most about WinMo. In portrait orientation they can be tolerable but in landscape they take up a significant chunk of the vertical screen space. This almost nullifies the advantage of having a high resolution display.
It would be great if there was a way to make them smaller, or even hide them completely. There are not nearly enough full screen apps to make up for this deficiency.
go here and download the oem. it is a very good base for starters. It has everything you need to skin a 6.5.x theme

Hello all.
I recently bough a HTC HD mini and i wanted to modify icons task bar as i did with my X1. I used many taskbar icons from other people but i didnt find something that fits me. So i ask for help.
1) I need a good taskbar icon set with fixxed signal icon and good resolution for my htc mini. (I need only TaskBar icons. I dont want to change menu or any other icons).
2) My volume buttons dont work. How i fix this?
3) I tried some apps for windows mobile 6.1 on my htc (witch has 6.5) and they work. Do all apps for 6.1 works on 6.5? Like resco manager, spb rss new and etc?
Thanks in advance.
Most apps work on HD mini. Except those that won't adjust properly to HVGA resolution.
Instead of changing the Taskbar, you may want to consider using BattClock app. It shows plenty of choices of information, and is highly customizable. That way, you can retain the basic HD mini look, plus detailed icons, such as battery and signal bar percentages, in size and position of your choice.
Thanks, but this wont work. When i install it, it messed up my taskbar a lot.
I need a good task bar icon collection. Like tswoen's for XPERIA i had. Does anyone that has HD mini has a nice task bar icons?
It looks like mess up by default. You have to configure it to you needs.
I am looking of a set of bottom bar icons for os 29022. Idealy I would like a standard black bar at the bottom and a set of plain white icons.
I have searched arround and can see different sets of icons available for 6.5.3 but I am looking for plain black and white to supply in my kitchen builds.
Can anybody help me out?
just make the softkeybar buttons transparent and background black (png's)..
what's the problem??
I have bee trying that but the buttons arnt mapping correctly. The lock icon and the "windows" icon button both show up as the windows Icon. I am not sure how to fix that. Also the back button comes up as Windows as well.
Very odd, didn't happen in os 23569.
and all over again you're using gwes from com5?
Ur quite right. I am not going to use gwes any more!!! Thanks sorted the issue. Buttons displaying properly
