- darthmelk asked for a TF3D2 "single-slider" HTC Volume Control version
so I prepared a VolumeControl DLL for all of you using TF3D2

If your volume slider looks like this, you need to add this DLL @ post footer to keep it single instead of double
Just replace HTCVolumeControl.dll @ /windows/ with this one


- These are screen caps from R3PUBL1K to show how the "X" series "Line 1" icon displays
(this was just a test for the "Line 1" icon only, the others are not mine):

And this is the "Line 1" icon for the "F" series:

Also, I will try to make separate CABs later, this way anybody will be able to add Line 1 & Line 2 icons to their favorite icons set

AND MORE TO COME !!
SOON: I'm working on a "deluxe" version of the "X" series with more detailed & colourful icons
Sort of this:

I really like your X Series. I'd suggest that you make a SE and Standart version like the one you made in Beta 3. I love this blue / silver windows logo.

If you consider making more versions with "more detailed & colourful icons" ... I really like the combination of blue and silver. Blue battery and earth from Beta3 were great .

Thanks for your work on all this icons and skins! Keep it up

You mean the blue/silver SE logo??
Ah man I love that logo, wish it was in each of the icon sets.

I like indeed the blue windows logo :>. You could go with a SE logo version and I take the windows one .
It's just the question if gtrab wants to make several diffrent cabs with just one new icon (start logo). Alternatively we could replace the icon ourselves if gtrab publishes them and tells us what to do . They are not in the current ICO package, aren't they?

how do i get the battery indicators to show on the task bar? I'm using vista hide right now...but rather use yours.

Pretty simple, just remove VistaHide and soft reset.

Tried the icons, the animation is great, the icons look good, maybe smaller than I thought.

What I would like:
1. Green SE start icon and bouncing SE wait icon included. I overwrote the shellres.192 file but I would prefer it to be integrated in your cab.
2. Red battery when low.
3. Move the signal bars up not to overlap the icon border. Or if you can't do that, cut the border where the signal bars will be displayed. It will look nicer.
4. Bigger battery icon without the numbers.

Nice job!

I'd like green SE start and wait icon too
