You must have seen someone using WisBar Advance 2: http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/products.php?prod=WisBar+Advance
Otherwise your friend must be using a VERY OLD ROM, probably AKU 2.0. I remember them releasing a green battery icon a LOOOONNNG time ago.
Next time just post ONE TOPIC. You are doing it again after promising you won't. You remind me of a nagging girlfriend. lol
thanx .. and m sry .. i did it by mistake

Earlier you asked for upgrading to wm6. Once you do that you will get the battery icon as you so desire. Also appreciate if you could maintain a single post for people to answer to your queries in a better manner.
Hi actually it is indeed possible to improve the battery icon just by changing the icons in the ResOver dll. Are you on WM5 or WM6?
For example I've tweaked mine to show 10 levels of power in Green/Amber/Red colours.
m usin wm5 and have o2 exec .. how is it possible can u help me ?????
could you post an image.

New battery indicator
I posted a more accurate battery indicator some time ago. If you are interested, you'll need to download the VGA version for the Universal:
http://cleanimport.xda/index.php?threads/289003/ (screenshots included)
The same DLL which holds the battery icons also holds the icons for the speed dial and call history lists in the phone application. If you want to keep your icons, post the file "\windows\phcanOverbmp.dll" from your device here. I can create an O2-Exec version then.

Hi,
First to avoid the confusion, I'm NOT looking for the transparent curtain in TF3D, im not using TF3D.
I've got many nice wallpapers for today screen, however, the top (the bar that contains: start button, network signal, battery icon) & and bottom bar (2 soft button) make this unpleasant.
I've searched around and came across SkinMobile 5 & VJToggleToggle/Today ... however, it looks to me like they don't support WM6.1, nor WVGA.
SkinMobile5 v1.1 is what i tried, and it doesn't provide transparency, and has to be run in background
Could any one offer me a solution to make these bars transparent so I can see my wallpaper fully?
I thought these should be some png files that I can set transparency to?
Thanks...
guys... help please... How come all of my questions never attract any reply?
there are quite a few posts with replies out there mate
I can't seem to find any either if you know of some why not just get a link please instead of post whoring
i too woul be interested in transparent menu/task bars. let me know if you find anything.

Well i can 't find ANY when using search on transparent menu,
so if anybody know a link please . . . .?
i hope due to the wm6.5 wich has actually transparent windows task bar and bottom menue bar
it might be possible to get an mix version also for the diamond.
or only an tsk file which has this "colour for transparence"
would be realy cool
if anyone has it please send me an pm
greets
That's EXACTLY what I was thinking of !!
I've been trying to modify one of the Pocket PC Themes (a .tsk file), but unfortunately couldn't find no transparancy options for the top & bottom bars as you indicated ...
I used Netswap ThemeMaker X (TMX) & Microsoft Pocket PC 2002 Theme Generator.... Perhaps there is an advanced software somewhere that could actually help...
anyone got it solved

Mate,
Did u try this ? This is for WM6.5
Never got a chance to try it myself but looks promising
Give it a try but start from here
It will work on WM 6.1 & 6.5 + any Manila version
It may be possible for WM 6.5 with MaxTTM, but not for WM 6.1, MaxTTM can only change the icons of the taskbar but not the transparency. Hope someone comes out with an answer for the transparency - ( please note that the transparency is required only for the taskbar and the command bar - not the taskbar icons nor the softkeys) - Thankyou.
Edit1: Maybe something like below:
http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/4871/honeycombui.gif
WM6.1 top/bottom bar transparent (not TF3d user)
I would also like to have this transparency... if anyone knows please share... thanks !!
so it's not possible with windows mobile 6.1??
#14
Nope...
use hdwall just use the search function or:
1. Take your wallpaper
2. creat to new pngs one called mysoftkeybar.png and the other mytaskbar.png or whatever you like. (480x52 Pixel)
3.put the top of your wallpaper first 52 rows (sorry for my english) in the taskbar.png and the bottom 52 in the softkeybar.png.
4. Copy theme into \Windows\ folder
5. Edit the registry entries:
\\\registry\HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Softkeybar\SoftKeyBarImage
to your pngs
same for taskbar
and reset device.
but i highly recomend to use hdwall much easier
oh i neary forgot your wallpaper image should now be 480x692 pixel's for the normal today (crop of the bars)
for manila use the normal wallpaper

Guys, the answer to all your wet dreams can be found right here.
Hi Folks,
first thanks for the beta of wm 6.5 which brings me to one question
on this picture posted by Cloudyfa you can see that the startbar and bottombar is transparent.
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb271/Cloudyfa/BetaWM65.jpg
is it possible due to file exchanges to get this also working on our now 2.03 diamond versions.
do you think it is possible.
i tried searching of an alphatransparent colour in wm6. so that i may be change it but no luck so far.
but when i tested wm6.5 i realized with the transparent bottom and top. my handyscreen looked even bigger.
would be nice to hear or see, if someone could make this possible

it's not transparent
in the first screenshot it's transparent.. just look
if u look very closely at the bottom right, ull notice that the boat doesn't quite align, also the text in the center disappears behind the bottom bar, this leads me to believe it isn't relay transparent but just a cropped picture that's the same as the background. However when i change the background those bottom bars change as well, but there still not aligned properly
this neverminds.
it's only 1px so you'll never notice it
anyway. it must be somehow possible. also when it is an the mainscreen.
but this would be awsome if someone could possible make an cab.
or just upload the tsk file. maybe there is a colour set as alphacolour.
dev's pls do it for us.
These screenshots are fake. I'm not going to tell you why - you should be able to find out for yourself.
Believe me or not, I don't care, but you'll see when 6.5 comes out, that I was right.

dude just check out the news. wm6.5 is official by MS and they have even given a demo of it on touch diamond 2.
the pics are real.
It isn't fake, but i believe it wasn't implemented properly by Microsoft, it hink the top and bottom bars just take part of ure wallpaper and set it as their backgrounf instead of actually being transparent, but it's a similar effect.
cmon guys.. have some sense!
1. they are not fake. I'm running this exact ROM right now
2. taskbar is not transparent. If any of you have used SE phones in the past, like K800, you'll know, it's just a theme which changes the graphics in the taskbar. looks nice as long as you like the main background. If you change the background, those cropped pictures in the taskbar remain there and look [email protected]

exactly my point, the OS may be real, but the transparency is fake
did you try changing your homescreen wallpaper to your own image. what do you see?
is it's also transparent.
Transparency is not fake and its real.
See what's new in windows mobile 6.5
The transparency you see isn't a "real transparent". The new CHome (Titanium home ui) creat that from your wallpaper to have it look like transparent. Anyone using WM6.5 can do a quick test by uncheck Titanium in Setting\Today to see
IMO, M$ already messed up by not doing a 'real' transparant bar
Ethermind's BATTERY DRIVER UPGRADE
for the XPERIA X1
DESCRIPTION
This CAB will install Ethermind's upgraded BATTERY DRIVER for the XPERIA X1, allowing the phone to display the taskbar's battery status in up to 1% increments
Registry settings to enable % battery readings are also included in the CAB
INSTRUCTIONS
Install MS SDKcerts first (some custom ROMs as mine already come with SDKcerts pre-installed)
Copy the CAB to device and click to install
Install any %-enabled battery taskbar icons set of your choice; a custom taskbar ehancement / skin with % icons is required because the stock taskbar doesn't have % battery icons. See post 2 for some links
DESCRIPTION
All credits to Ethermind for the upgraded battery driver
I have tested it on STOCK ROMs and my custom SEX1 ROMs, please test and report how it behaves on other custom ROMs
In my experience, the driver's accuracy is slightly diminished in the upper range, but who cares ?? It works !!
DOCTOR'S WARNING: Displaying your battery status in 1%s is ADDICTIVE !!
If you like my works, just come back and say "thanks"
Enjoy
To "see" the % icon on the taskbar, a battery or full taskbar icons set (skin) with 100 battery icons is required (one icons for each %)
Here are some battery-only or full taskbar icons skins:
SEX1 Battery Enhancer with WM6.5 icons for Windows Mobile 6.1 & 6.5
[EDIT] (SEX1 Batt Enhancer install CAB already includes Ethermind's power driver inside)
FinixNover's battery icons set
Tsowen: ver 3, 4, 5 & 6.5
Angelusz's tsowens for XPERIA
SEX1cons "X series" for WM6.5
SEX1cons "X series" for WM6.1
[EDIT]: X series is currently 5% capable only, will update soon
SEX1cons "Q series"
SEX1cons "F series"
Ahen 6a & 6b battery / taskbar icons
Simplle battery icons with old style taskbar icons
Other taskbar icons sets or battery sets... (please report)
Will keep adding more links to many taskbars...
weird i installed this on the 6.5 x series icons, and it only increments by 5%

Click to expand...

We didn't have Ethermind's upgraded driver when I created the X series, I wass tempted to make 10% icons only, but I decided to put 5% increments just in case
My expectations were exceeded by Ethermind's bright mind !!
Now I have to upgrade the X series filling all the missing icons
Lot's of work to do, so let's start !!
Good job, thanks bro.
Thank you. This made my day
I use it with WMMiniBattery v1.2 - the pixel bar on top of the screen.
It´s working for me with only a minor bug that when fully
charged it doesn´t stay at 100% it drops to 98%.
Thanks!
plug it back in for a couple of mins, it should work then........ i had this problem until i was told how to correct it...... thanks to gtrab

The circular battery icon you see in the second link belongs to another taskbar, not to finixnover's taskbar
If you install FinixNOver battery icons sets, of course you will see them displyed with their sqared battery
I guess the second link shows tsowens 6.5 taskbar icons set
On that pic, Ethermind is intending to show off the PERCENTS, NOT the battery ICONS themselves
Any battery icons will display percents
Thnx for clarifying.

ok guys i still dont get it, what do i just have to do to install the percentage battery status in 1% increments on my xperia. do i have to install that SDKcerts first and then that Ethermind? What exactly is the difference of this 2 cab files guys?
Thanks in advance...
First, install MS SDK certificates (SDK certs)
Second, install Ethermind's driver
Third, install any battery or taskbar skin with 100 icons for the battery (windows stock battery icons are just four... they will obviously not display %s)
Apart from the driver, one hundred icons (one for each reading) inside phcanOverbmp.dll are required to display one percent increments
Some taskbar skins - as the X series SEX1cons - have 20 battery icons, one for each 5% increment, but most of them do have 100 icons from 1% to 100% to be displayed
Clear now ??

Hi,
I installed this taskbar:

I know it's for HD2, but all the icons work great,
beside the reception one..
any ideas?
Thanks.
I installed another Taskbar and the same thing happens
Because it's icons are greater than HD Mini taskbar icons and they're resized to fit in the taskbar. You should use proper taskbar icons or if you want this, resize it's icons and repack it.
Thanks.
But can you explain please how can I do it?

yes and icon bell not working.
Appears that there are files whose name varies depending on the language. Sorry, I didn´t know it before making the CAB.
you can see the bell renaming the file notify.dll.0C0A.mui. This is for Spanish ROMs
In windows folder you must have notify.dll.xxxx.mui where xxxx is your ROM language. Delete this file and rename notify.dll.0C0A.mui like the file you deleted. Then restart Mini and the bell works ok.
I do not know what's wrong with your wifi icon. Keep looking.

For transparent slider bar here you have one cab, I don´t remember who do it, but is in this forum.
With the transparent taskbar in another devices you can do it with HDwallpapers, but I couldn´t works for the mini.
There is another method where you must replace the files a)for bottombar: abb_Skbackground.png
and 2) Taskbar: abb_taskbar.png, but I don´t know if works in the mini and either the size of the image because I don´t found in the mini. In Wvga the size is 480x52 but for the mini maybe 320x something -I don´t Know-.
Good luck.
