So I found out I've been posting in the European HD2 forums, so now that I'm in the right place, I've been wanting to change the appearance of my taskbar on my HD2.
Ideally, I would like to have my start menu button resemble that of the Start Menu button on Windows Vista / 7, and I would like to be able to edit the other icons on the taskbar as well. I have no idea how to make this happen, I've gotten a few ideas but it all seems overly complicated, like editing .DLLs and things like that.
I'm willing to take that plunge, I just need someone that's willing to help out. I'm seeing all kinds of uploaded screenshots of the HD2 with the taskbar laid out virtually how I want it, but I just don't know how to do it!
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Flash a rom that looks the closest to what you want would be my advice.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Just install a theme.
Honestly, you will probably have better luck posting in the euro hd2 section.... there's more people there and it's the same phone. I find more knowledgeable people there, plus the hd2 apps section is there. You're probably gonna do best just finding a skin you like... there's tons out there to change the icons many different ways. Search the hd2 apps section and the windows mobile themes and apps sections.
Thank you guys! I appreciate your responses, when I get home from work tonight I'll research the options I was given.

What you're looking for is a taskbar icon set... they're often included in custom ROM's and themes, but you don't have to go through all that to get one as almost every taskbar set thats found in one of those is also available as a stand-alone cab. In addition to the HD2 themes section, be sure to search through the main WM Themes section at xda to find other options too.
I don't know exactly which ones you've seen that you liked, but here's some of the most commonly-used ones on the HD2:
Dinik's Anastasia taskbar
Dafunk2's NGTV taskbar
Brian's taskbar, gfreek edition
Phoenix's B&W taskbar
You guys are amazing, thank you so much for all of your help!
A few pictures of what you like would be helpful. I am using the dinik anastasia one right now...Just make sure you read everything thoroughly and you should be ok...I have also used this one when I was running the GTX theme http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=626188

Hi All,
I'm new here, and just Registered. I haven't yet familiarised myself with this forum so if I'm posting in the wrong section or double posting, I do apologise before-hand.
I'm wondering if anyone can possibly please help me- I'm in desperate need of a new skin or two for my HTC P4530 - I'm quite tired of the three Windows Mobile 6.0 Skins and the HTC Default skin!
Does anyone know where I could download or get some new skins? Even a way to customise and make/create my own?
Secondly with there being a vast amount of HTC wizards out there- I'm wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to customise and change the HTC Home Screen to that of the newer HTC Modules like the HTC TyTN II or HTC Touch with that new User Interface, is it possible- I really love the colour scheme and its look!
So if anyone can help me or point me in a step towards the right direction, I'd really apprectiate it! Hope to learn alot from browsing these forums!
Thanks!!

Hi welcome to the forum, you are in the right place for themes and cool stuff, have a look around and see if there is something you like, unless there is something specific you are looking for I or others may be able to help.
to start there is a nifty thread called "must have apps". take a look there. lotsa goodies to get you started.
oh ok i found it for you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424032&highlight=apps
look for apps your intrested in then search for them. they're all here in this sub-forum.
welcome btw!
Thanks guys..
I want to install themes to start so whats the best prog to use and whats a real sleek theme to use that will impress jealous workmates lol. I also would like the Tom Tom if anyone could point me in the direction (excuse the pun) needed to get the files.
read the stickies! manila customizer and nisse's collection of themes. its all there, can't miss it.
Hello again,
I've got a lot requests about the Icons I use on my System because of my "Real VGA WMP Manila Skin" Thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3044289&postcount=25
So, I've modded nearly my complete System with custom made icons. I used ResHacked and siggner to apply the icons to the exe's and System Files. You can search the forum if you don't know how to do that.
I searched for a cooker who wants to work with me to bring out a ROM with a complete redone Iconset, but it looks like no ones want to do this with me.
So I decided to release my Icon "Standalone".
Since I don't know if it would be OK (because of Copyrights or things like that) to post here the complete modded Programs with the costom exes you have to integrate the icons by yourself.
If you would like an Icon for a special Program just post it here and I try to do one for you.
Thats enough for now...
Have fun... fRED
Here again some Screens
Some more...
Can you make these icons for the settings too , very nice!
Funny that you're asking. I just do these types of icons for Setting, so yes, I can do *g*
But you have to be patient for some days.
fRED
I think this is really amazing, do you have some installation instructions for the not so clever like myself to install?
Also, do you have or could you make icons for TomTom for MSN Messenger... Please?
This is fantastic! Keep up the good work!
Sean
I've made your requested icon for MSN/TomTom + Mobiler, because I use mobiler quite often now *g*
Update in first Post
fRED
Wow just beautiful! i really like these icons...
Thanks a lot!
How to install? Just copy to /windows?
No, it's not that easy! Look at my first post. You have to use ResHacker to apply the icons to each .exe.
I don't want to post the exe's directly cause there could be copyright problems. Also there would be problems with different languages and Version Numbers of the files/exes.
The dll's which are integrated in the pack are also German one's. If you want to apply them to an english version just extract the modded icons.
At the moment I don't want to explain how you use ResHacker to exchange icons. It's not that difficult. Just Google or search here in the forum.
Maybe anyone other wants to explain it here, than I add it to the first post.
regards,
fRED
ok thanks man i will try it
is it possible to use on Touch HD?
Of course, you have to replace the icons directly in the exes. So this works everywhere.
fRED
Thank you so much for doing that for me, your a credit to the forum matey. Keep up the good work, ill be keepin an eye on your future projects and this one, dont stop, create!

I really love those Icons.
Could you release them in .png format so they would be compatible with D-Mans Idiamond programme launcher?
Hi !
Nice work, but can you make a .cab for lazzy guys like me ?
Would be great !
Thanks
Great work, really great work at all! I'll use these icons in my own ROM now!
really great work!! thanks for the fantastic icons!
but there are just two things:
1) could you make the corners a little bit more round? they look a bit squared actually.
2) could you provide png files instead of ico, please?
Hi BlockbusterF!
First of all, I like your Iphone icons! I tried to cook a rom, and replace the original icons by your iphone style icons. If you interested in a ROM with your icons, we should make a cooperation. I make the rom, and you make the icons that we need for a fully iphone icon style rom.
I will use the new HTC 2.00 base rom for basic. First I need learn to cook a rom (now it's on ). I will get off some HTC application and put my own (maybe make some registry tweak too), and then make the iphone style.
If you interested in the idea, contact me!
PLEase say yes.....

i guess its my dream come true. i have been looking for such a ROM since the time iphone came in existance. it will be like best of both worlds.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=374571may be here you can get some idea, ( but for diamond i would really vouch for iDiamond project of Dman666, as it involves the manila files direstly.
Blockbuster, great work! I've actually gone through all the work to import them into my files and they look amazing. It's quite a lengthy process, took me nearly 2 hours to get 'em all done. On top of that I was having some difficulties with a few icons (namely the RSS Hub icon and tasks) but I've got it worked out.
I thought I'd make a contribution to the project, I've made an icon for the app Diamond SensorScroll in the style of yours. See attached zip.

Hey im sorry to bug the chefs and other members with this question, but i have found a rom that i really like. Only problem is that its for the Verizon Whitestone. It has the cool blue slider, the stock black and white tf3d icons, but it has the my location and weather clock, and it also uses the manila start menu instead of the joke that wm 6.5 uses. I am currently using josh's perfect black v 1.7 and it works great, but i want something a little faster and more stable... if someone knows how to get a rom to do all these things or can cook one like this then that would be amazing =]
Again, i am sorry for bugging ya'll, but i just want a little help =]
Most ROM's have screenshots in the thread. This will probably be closed soon.
Just check out the ROM Threads to get what you need
thats the problem... i check them almost everyday and there is nothing here that is like it =[
You'll just have to keep looking, or ask a chef if they would make a ROM with your preferences. Failing that, get a kitchen and give it a go
Or try and find CABs to change another ROM to match, I think most colours can be changed with CABs, and I'm pretty sure the start menu can too.
Moving to "Themes" sub forum.
Thanks =]
thanks that helps alot... if u dont mind me asking for a huge favor, i honestly dont know where to find a cab to change the slider or the icons for sense ui
You can also search the Topaz or Blackstone themes section. They almost share the same customizations..
My suggestion for a ROM would be deepshining by dotcompt..nice looking ROM and fairly stable... as far as the custom sliders give http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611441 these a look through
Hi I was wondering if anyone could make a custom slider for my T-Mobile Touch Pro 2. I used to use HDwall but since I upgraded to 6.5 it no longer works. I have all the icons ready in a zip file I just need someone to make them into a cab that would work with my phone. If anyone can help me please reply or send me a pm and I will get the Icons to you.
P.S. they are alienware style icons that would match a wallpaper I have. so if anyone can help me I would appreciate it. Plus you could have a cool looking slider for yourself and everyone on here.
Oh yeah I'm running Win Mo 6.5 Sense 2.1 if you need more info I can get more.
