Install was fine without any error. Then softreset..

But i get the same grafics issue like in my sreenshot a few posts up..

The fact why don't "upgrade" to 6.5 is that I don't like the honeycumb start..

Thanks for the feedback!;) I think I know what the the issue is but it will take me longer to fix it so watch this space!

I know what you mean about the honeycomb start I too did not like it initially especially on the earlier beta build versions of WM 6.5 but with the latest RTM build's of WM 6.5 M$ got rid of the actual honeycome divider in start menu although the program icons are still staggered it's lot better and with a bit of xml knowledge one could easily modify the start menu layout e.g. program icon sizes, number of coloums etc... it's IMHO a lot more customisable then the old start menu of WM 6.1 bottom line it still does the same function of the programs menu without the classic drop down start menu list, that's the only thing you miss!!

In any case I perfectly respect your choice of sticking with WM 6.1 if it works for you why change?:)

Sorry guys just noticed this minor bug it seems that the battery indicator in taskbar is not in sync with battery application in settings it's off by 1% so to fix this please tweak the following registry:

HKLM\Security\ResOver\Bitmaps and change the DWORD value of "BatteryIconsLevels" from 101 to 102 and soft reset, battery level will now be in sync with system battery monitor!

or you can just install the attached cab and soft reset voila back in sync!;)

Wm6.1 Bar

Hi there,
First of all, GREAT WORK!
But i have original wm 6.1 and you know it doesn't work. Therefore, is it possible to get your last version without x-fix, because this one works for wm6.1 without problems. I deleted the file because of the new version.

The diffrence between version 1 and verson 2 is that on version 2 the start icons match rest of the taskbar icons thats all!!

This is top-notch, really appreciate this. One of the best taskbar sets, working with 6.5 and updated too :)

One missing icon that I've found... the "wifi unavailable" icon. See attached screenie.

If this was skinned to look the same, this taskbar would be complete (apart from the taskmanager drop-down button...) :D

I used Brians old 6.5 taskbar. There the bluetooth stereo headset icon was missing, is it fixed in this new version?

Thanks again for this great work. but i have a small problem. i have Blackstone volume control installed (full screen vol). Every time i reset the phone it reverts to single volume control. I have to change it back to twin vol in manila settings. Any suggestions on how to fix this. Thanks.

Thanks for the screenie! I actually prefer these icons so left them in but no worries I can skin them aswell to match the rest and also looking into skinning the taskmanager drop down button just need to locate where that bmp is hideing from me!LOL

So expect an update soon version 3!;)

Yes, do a test with your bt stereo head set you should see the nicer icon!;)

Ok found the culprit I have to update the HTCVolumeControl.dll to the new Topaz one which I'm guessing the rom you are using is based on hence the issue you have, I will have this fixed in version 3 (just need to finish skining some other icons) However, in the the meantime you can install the attached cab that will fix your issue!;)
