Default TaskBar Icon Fix!

Well i found a fix for our problems with network icons! Hope Everyone enjoys it!.

Code:
Taskbar icons for our phones can have interesting effects. A few work, but most ether 1/2 work or fail miserably.

Currently i have only found 1 set of icons that work 100%
 Dusk Taskbar .

Currently i am using this taskbar 

 Dark Ninja's Android Taskbar
This one is working like 3/4% with only the only the signal bars not working(tho it doesn't look bad)

Has anyone determined why some work and others dont? I have very little experience with taskbar icons tho i plan to jump in soon...

Good job, it looks very clean. The only issue is that my BattClock doesnt match the multi-shade toolbar anymore

Change your theme then change it again and it will change the taskbar color.
Samsung Captivate->OG AT&T SGS2->AT&T G-Note running ICS->Red S3 running SlimBean

Gtab->Asus TF101 Transformer w/dock running AOKP JB

Default fix for icons

finally a fix for the signal bars that would not change from stock white, one thing though, the signal strength will never show more than two bars, yet can open up the manager where you can turn bt, wifi etc on or off, and the signal strength is stronger than what the taskbar icon shows. example icon shows 1 or 2 bars where it should be showing 4 or 5 bars. do i need to change a registry value or what? any help much appreciated. thanks a lot.

Default 3g sig

actually its just when the phone is showing 3g that the signal bars act wierd. it will show 2 bars when the signal should be 4 bars. when the strength actually is 5 bars it will show 4bars, never just 3bars. during a call the signal strength showing will be correct. any help?

Strange, mine seems about the same as the LG bars (IQ) but I’m almost always showing as being on “H” (HSPA+) and not “3G” (HSPA) so I’m not sure. With the taskbar I’m using, I did have to change one reg. setting for the battery as it was off by 1% (big deal) but that was it.

I'll play around with mine and see if I can replicate the problem.

Default signal

maybe im using the wrong fix, i have tried several taskbars, always no change to the stock white signal icon. then i used the fix above and the icons were all there, just the signal bars did not show the actual sig strength that say the comm manager showed. it was one and two bars like it should then the signal at 3 actual would still show only 2 and only 2 for an actual signal of 4 then when the signal hits 5 the bars will jump and show 4? while im on a call the signal strength is accurate. i do not know. it was hard to get the signal icon to change from stock and now the signal strength is not right. my phone is att pure wm6.5 stock rom etc.
