hello,
recent i changed my top bar, after i read many threads about it. Like in the "post ur hd screens" thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445497&page=5) i had the same problems at the beginnig, like it's said there on page 5. After some work with that, i fixed the problem, and got the colored icons. Now to my problem:
The strange thing is having normaly colored icons (like it should be) in offline-mode, but not when i connect with vodaphone.
I attached 2 pics, which show the problem. I saw in many posts, that there normally should be a colored "atenna" aswell, but whatever i do...something must be wrong, coz i never reached that destination!
i hope it'll be just a little problem and any1 can help me with that.
I had the same problem with my old top bar so I downloaded the one that I added in this post and the problem was gone
Please note that the start button changes into the HTC logo. If that is a problem for you, there is a version without the HTC logo around on the forum
Offcourse you first have to delete the old version.
thx, works fine, exepting some things, like the windows symbol and and older version of the clocksymbol
but nvm, this is quite good

Hey Vjaayyyyyyyy The new rom has a gap in the bottom of the connection manager. Do you know of anyway to overcome this?
Mike
Getting the same problem
How annoying
Hmm, haven't looked into it yet. I've not touched the new ROM yet, but my Universal rom is so screwed due to the stuff I do to it, I think it's time for a refresh. what rom are you using?
On the Phone Dialer, all we needed to do was copy in two bitmaps to replace the originals. Send me over a copy of the manager, or otherwise point me to the rom, and I'll see if I can do similar. At least this one is more VGA compatible then the last few. Try resource hacking it to see if it corrects it.
BTW - Sctojen - I notice you've still got the vertically offset (ie incorrect) titlebar text. Have you tried changing the font or playing with your window metrics (try CETuner to play with this stuff). I'm using a font called VJNina, posted somewhere or other on the board.

Vijay the following is the test imate rom I am using. Everything else rendering wise is fine.
i-Mate JasJar (PU10) Rom 1.30.68 WWE
Radio 1.09.00
Protocol 42.42.P8
Vj.
Not to sure what you mean by the horizontal text. Am Guessing from what i could make out do you use VJninja as like a system font. If so i will do a search and give it a try.
Also i notice in your screen shot you have got a nice looking battery bar sitting at the top of your screen where did you get this from.
Unfortunatly the new imate test rom comes with battery icon below (couldn't really get a good screen shot as it was in charging mode but with yours i notice you get several little bars with the 1 in the new imate rom the icon has just 2 big bars full and half full yours looks a little bit mor accurate. i would like to find out how to remove the one on mine and give yours a try.
Many thanks for all your help mate.

scotjen1: the vertical offset of your caption - in your screenshot, "Start" is touching the top of the caption bar. In mine, it's in the middle where it should be. This can be fixed, someone asked me once how I did it, I can't remember, but basically I use VJNina as my system font and CETuner to fix my "metrics". Have a look in the VGA thread for details (I think). But that's just cosmetic.
Battery bar - no idea. I thought it was built in. I'm not running much 3rd party stuff on my universal, since I only use it for development. I don't think I ran the extended rom cabs, so again, I'm not sure. I'll have to upgrade to the new rom soon and start playing. I haven't had time to look into any of it yet Busy weekend coding...

I think your battery bar is from SmallMenu/Plus (I think you told me once that you used this?). You can turn it on/off in the SmallMenu settings. (well - it certainly looks like the smallmenu battery indicator!)
man, do I have egg on my face.
Riceburner is correct, that's the battery icon from SmallMenu. You know, I never noticed? I use smallmenu on my Magician, which is my day to day phone, but I disable the battery icon because I use my VJToggleToday/PhoneAlarm hack instead. My universal hasn't been modded much at all yet by me, so I must have just left the icon on and not noticed. It's useful though.

For those interested, here's a link to the Nina font,

and VJNina, a cut down version 1/2 of the size, but removing certain rarely used (by me) international characters.

VJ, i guess its got nothing to do with the font. I had the start caption at an offset when i used to use OZvga to make the reg changes. I guess ozvga messes with some unwanted reg setting screwing it up....
However, if you copy the corresponding dlls (with 96dpi), and change the LogicalPixels reg values, the caption is center alligned!
Cheers,
San
Does anyone have the problem I have with the new rom, the new battery icon up on top bar still says its plugged into power when you unplug it from the computer, if I reset it it fixes it. Does anyone know how to fix this.
dreamtheater39: I'm sure it's not just the font, no reason why it would be. But I monkey around with various metrics, scrollbar size etc, as soon as I change resolution. So it's one of those. Not sure which, I just always play with a few by default... seems to correct the problem itself.
I just use VJNina because I find it a neater font then Tahoma at those resolutions. It's a hangover from my SPV days.

I have this problem too. Only when using Real VGA though, so my guess is that it's a problem with a slightly incompatible 96 dpi .dll file? (Of course, I don't really know what I'm talking about here, so feel free to expose my ignorance, everybody! )

The issue is with the system font size. For some reason, if you try to increase the size of the system font on WM5 it leaves the font at the same size, but raises it up. By default OzVGA tries to increase the size of all of the fonts when you switch to VGA mode. If you want to continue to use OzVGA and you don't want to deal with this, just go into the settings and change the System Font size for VGA mode to 900.

Hi, i am also getting this problem, I ahve patched with other utilities. Except this one.
Any one please suggest the changes to be done. Cheers
firstly before any confusion, i am not wanting to know how to change the background on the today screen.
i have recently dabbled with a few new themes and have realised that whilst the majority of the OS falls in line with the theme, the phone "app" refuses to change it's background to anything other than a blue-dark blue gradient
the model is specifically an O2 orbit, and I have recently updated to the official WM6 ROM
could problem be somethin to do with the O2 software that is installed (because i believe the gradient background is the BG for the defaul O2 theme)
i know this is a trivial, minor problem, but i've got my phone looking so nice & it's a shame to have such a different background on a feature of the orbit (the phone app, that is) that should be nicely integrated into the rest
thanks for any help,
Nick
anyone??
this would be a great help if someone could let me know how to do this, my phone would then be looking slicker than an oil spillage
hi,
when i find the picture i want through file explorer i just tap and hold down and it and click "Set as today background"
that works for me.
or click settings and click today and you should see browse, click and find the background you want.
silly me, didnt read your post properly, sorry!
i would like to change background image from comm manager, could someone tell how to do this, I would like something like this (first image)

thx
I think you are looking for:
Landscape: \Windows\L_bg.png
Portrait: \Windows\P_bg.png
Try replacing them by using TotalCommander or Resco Explorer.
Have a look at the properties of the previous mentioned files to create your own
thx for your help, been playing around a bit. This is result till know
ongoing proces, i'm a little bit hooked on customizing latest time
ps: if you look at top bar i have a problem with overlapping icons for network, if someone knows how to solve this please advice
You're welcome. Guess you mean the globe and signal bars, concerning your problem? Maybe try a different image for the globe. But that's more a "Customize the Windows Taskbar" question. There is a thread running about this in this same section already It's better to continue there...

How can I customize the Comm Manager like yours? I would like to have blue highlight and nice icons. Thanks!
The icons are just images. The highlighting can be changed using HD Tweak.
I wanted a topbar similar to the one below (with or without HTC logo)
I've used Prof Yaffle's one which was identical apart from the vista logo instead of the HTC logo. The problem with it was it was causing my volume screen to change size and the bluetooth icon remained the original white one.
I've also tried the HTC Colored Topbar which was similar to the pic but messed up my opera rotation.
Any help greatly appreciated
I think your problem is that you have not installed SDCERT.CAB
opera rotation is a common bug with these new toolbars mate,
Certain ones however doesnt cause problems like Carnero Top Bar I am using at the moment.
hth
These two work for me
Install in indicated order
Thats my image and the topbar is the greek colored topbar (search it) i dont have any problems with opera rotation.

Thanks, I installed your cab but wasn't keen on the logo.
Managed to find the greek coloured top bar eventually and it works perfect
No problems with opera rotation and is exactly like the pic in first post

i saw this rom on a polish site (have no clue what is being said here) and i really like the colored versions of whatever taskbar it's using, is there anyway someone can make these compatible with cdma wm 6.5?
http://pdaclub.pl/forum/index.php?topic=132916.0
Did you try to install "sdkcerts.cab" before?
Normally all these taskbar mod need it first
i dont have a problem installing taskbars, that sdkcerts is already cooked into the roms i use.
its just that i like the taskbars shown in that roms screenshots and i cant locate those taskbars, i dont understand the language on that site so i might be missing a link to some taskbars if there are any posted so i need a little help finding those first
it's one of the "brian's" taskbar. there are some for wm6.5
got any links? i thought most of brians are gsm, every brian bar ive installed shows the stock white ev logo, ive never seen a blue/green/red option either, mostly just green or dark gray/black, i must be missing a thread of his somewhere
