I'm running it on my Fuze right now and am very pleased. I'm running * The Captain's Special * 23518 * Sense 2.5 * Rom, which is manilla 1921 if I'm not mistaken.

I did lose the background though when I changed eitehr my slider icons or the theme. I'm happy with the black though so no worries.

Thanks a bunch Dark Ninja! Hope the issues the other are having can be resolved.

Hi,

I have tested the android bar and it works on my diamond with a 23529 based wm6.5 rom.

I uninstall it though because I had the feeling my phone gets warmer.

Another issue for me is the battery bar is not getting updated.
After plugin/unplugin the charger the charging icon remains in the bar.

I am looking forward for a stable cab and thanks for the great design.

Just to show how nice is this on my device:D
screen002l.png


However, it seems like the theme is for older version of Wm 6.5.3
Some of the button are missing ;
- 'send' button in messaging
- 'dismiss' button for reminder
- 'delete' button for e-mail n sms

But still, this is one of the nicest theme tht i've used:D

hmm, The phone getting warmer cant be this as its only replacing one files for appearence, although il look into the charging delay. Thanks for the feedback il work on extras

It's looking really good Ninja! Just wanted to check in and see how the QVGA was coming along. Thanks for all the hard work on this, seems like it's starting to pay off.

The battery and data connection icons bottom and top edges look kinda weird. Almost as if the graphics are stretched or something.
Look at the previous picture posted in this thread:
http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/7771/screen002l.png

Mostly noticeable on the battery icon.

Hm.. the data connection looks fine on my device, although the battery has a slight blur on the top and bottom, its because when i first made it it wasnt centred so i made it slightly smaller and centered it. Maybe thats why the pixels became compact a little.

Thanks for Android taskbar, looking nice! Couldn't see any stock icons till now, only zoomed taskbar is completely unskinned (and missing an item on the left, it seems, should be "Missed call"). Are you going to fix that, by any chance? :D

EDIT: spoke too soon... new message notification isn't skinned and I'm having suspicious behaviors... :(

Think you could make some small modifications for users like me with a WQVGA screen? (240x400)

I attached you some pictures so you know what I'm talking about, its not a big deal, just the really big buttons get annoying with long lists of options, and only 3 at a time on the screen in portrait, and 1 in landscape. They also look kinda rough instead of the way it shows up on a QVGA or WVGA device.

Everything else works great so far!

So I tried that and the result is shown in the pic attached. I also tried modifying the Popfnt key, but all it changed was the size of the font, but not the spacing in between them (still 3 portrait, 1 landscape but with tiny font).

Im guessing theres a key somewhere that delegates the spacing in between items just cant seem to find it.

Any other suggestions?

    Android Taskbar

    Android Taskbar

    thanks to longice.. There is only one version atm which is the original taskbar, with a waitcursor to support wm6.1.. Let me know if it works well so that i can add more versions :D

    Added New QVGA (also Here fo no battery) and New WM6.1 version, unfortunately aas far as i know its not possible to skin the signal bars, so theyre going to have ot be white for now, sorry. in Post 3 (thanks to dandnj71 and longice for all there work)

    For Another WM6.1 version and extra's check Here Thanks to Physx


    Remember the Volume icon for most devices will not be skinned! You have to download the zip attached which contains the Volume icon DLL, you will need to use the version you are using (19XX or 20XX) your Volume control and volume icon should be perfect after this.


    internal_percent.bmp
    dark_Percent.bmp
    For These versions of the battery go here, BIG thanks to dandnj71 to all of his work

    added a zip file which contains all the taskbar cabs for people expriencing problems with taskbar
    images etc and battery icon problems (i think)..

    For Original Waitcursors look In Post 3

    QVGA testing only for now, although im sure it should work, just bare with me.. Only one version at the moment :D

    If you are still experiencing a Volume Icon bug after installing the correct version Look at Post 3

    Before installing anything remember to install SDKCERTS.cab from Here Without this the taskbar may not work!

    All the taskbars have the CDMA Fix inside so no probz for CDMA users. I also added A battery percentage version BIG thanks to dandnj71



    Finally, after a lot of looking into, fixed all known issues for all devices.. Now V4/V5 works for all.. If you guys have any suggestions please post a reply, as your ideas only make the taskbar better :)



    WM6.5.X


    screenshot1re.png



    WM6.5


    screenshot2j.png



    Wait Cursor :D:


    screenshot2mg.png


    Taskbar Underlay Colors are added if you want black/white taskbar underlay. Download Taskbar Colors.zip and excute cab inside.

    Instructions For A Perfect Installation

    1) Install SDKCerts.cab
    2) Find out if you are using Wm6.5 or WM6.5.x.. To know this just simply look if your start menu button is placed at the top or bottom.
    Top=WM6.5 (stock roms)
    Bottom=WM6.5.X
    3) Choose one of the folowing taskbars that are attached to this post (or extras) which say the version of you choice and the wm6.5 build you are using
    4) Run the cab on your Device
    5) Software Reset
    (If Volume icon missing (most likely))
    6) Find out if what version of htc volume control you are using
    7) Download "Dark Ninja Volume Fix 19XX-20XX"
    8) Run the cab of the version you are using 19XX or 20XX
    9) Software Reset

    -Your done-


    For WM6.5.X Android Taskbar W/VGA With no battery percentage install "Dark Ninja Android Taskbar WM6.5.X V6.cab"
    For WM6.5.X Android Taskbar W/VGA With Battery percentage install "Dark Ninja Android Taskbar WM6.5.X V6 + % BATTERY.cab"
    For Wm6.5 Android Taskbar W/VGA Without Battery percentage install "Dark Ninja Android Taskbar WM6.5 V6.cab"
    For Wm6.5 Android Taskbar W/VGA With battery percentage install "Dark Ninja Android Taskbar WM6.5 V5+ % BATTERY.cab"
    For Both WM6.5 & WM6.5.X Taskbar Background Colours "Taskbar Colors.zip"


    This taskbar replaces the original WM6.5 Taskbar with the one below. Please remember to backup before installingn as i do not want to be responsible for messing up your taskbar.

    The above picture is just a tease, every single icon in the tasbar has been skinned.


    Still To Come
    Making progres on qvga! Hopefully very soon will be the release :)
    2
    Temporary Second Post Soon to Be Filled ;)

    Extras

    -Original Wait Cursor Dlls are in this post attached

    -Also if you are getting a black square on the volume icons try the cab attached..

    -If you are getting htc volume control problems, and causing the hardware buttons to do folly things you can try a few of these suggestions..try doing this:

    First, remember to find out which version of volume control you are using and with them install the fix's in the previous post. If that doesnt work..

    1) Try going to windows directory in total commander
    2) (uninstall 19XX or 20XX volume fix)
    3) Install This
    3) Software reset.

    This method i would say is the best way as it doesnt effect your VolumeControl dll.. It will defo work
