Modified Bluetooth 'Off' Icon.

[killinghall]

I didn't like how the icon looked when BT is off - the one with the stroke across it, so I changed the DLL's icon resource to that of red.

The modified BTIcon_Dll.dll is attached for those who are interested.

Now can anyone tell me which DLL or EXE stores the icon for the BT headset on the Today screen?

profile.dll

profile.dll

Thanks! I'll check out on that...now how could I have missed it...

[killinghall]

I've also modified Profile.dll's icon set. The icon is the same irregardless whether bluetooth is on, off, or if the headset is 'waiting'.

[killinghall]

So here how it looks like:

Can you get the headset profile icon placed next to the bluetooth icon as it eats up the space on today screen?

Stupid question... How do you overwrite these dlls? They are in \Windows and loaded into ROM. I could not simply copy over these new versions but clearly there must be a way as you have done it! Thanks

profile.dll

Thanks a lot! Great job

No...I'm no programmer, just a novice with Resource Hacker that's all...

I used Resource Hacker. Modify the DLLs and put them into \Windows - mostly like you won't be able to overwrite them so give them a different name first. Then rename the original DLL to something else (yes, you can do it!) and then rename the modified DLL's name to that of the original.

Soft-reset and you should see the changes. Then delete the initial original DLL which you name 'cos it's useless.

Is there a profile icons for BT,and if yes there is a way to changhe all them? I explain closely:

-Blue with Red bar on Off mode (OR red icon)
-Blue with Green bar on On Mode
-Blue icon on Discoverable Mode

Thanx

killinghall - very clever! thanks for the tip!

Thanks for these killinghall, very neat.

Any chance of making the headset profile also turn red when disabled?

Yes, it is possible, but I stopped short of that. just wanted to change the headset to look like a headset instead of a headphone...

[ednap]

With the enabled and disabled profile icons being blue its not that obvious if the profile is enabled that's all.

If you can find time to make the change I'd appreciate it :)

Thanks again for sharing your mods.

killinghall,

would you mind to teach me how to do it. I really want to have a red bt icon

[alsaffar]

Thanx you killinghall for your tip, can you please explain how did you modify the DLL? Its realy interesting :)

[WeatherB]

Would your skills allow you to make it so that when you turn on Bluetooth, headset mode is automatically enabled too?

How about just clicking on the Bluetooth icon to enable Bluetooth?

[adamz]

I tried to make the Bluetooth Headset icon be red when it was disabled, but that doesn't seem to work. It has a discolored box around it. I also tried to make the "Waiting" icon grey, and that seem to work. Just something wrong with the disabled icon. Any ideas?? See attached.

Could anyone tell me how can I replace the profile.dll, pls? The computer always report system file protection.

Cheers.

It dosen't work in my case, but it did work be rename the copied file to be profile.dll (I can see two profile.dll in the same time), co's orginal profile.dll is system and read only attribe, then I didconnected my xda2 after make sure sync already.

I just can find the new modified date profile.dll only after I reconnect the xda2 with PC. And the orginal profile.dll gone forever.

And I can change the name by you guys method after the file was changed ( The attribe is not system and read only anymore).

I wonder I can find a way to operate my files system as PC.

BTW, I can see my headset icon blue and red effect, but nothing happened on my BT icon at task bar. My xda2 is 1.72 CHT.

Cheers buddies

Well Done. I have to admit that small things like changing 2 icons didnt even occur to me. The changes that you have made are small, but increase the pleasure of using the BT on my MDAII immensly! The new profile by the way works fine on my PPC. :D
