100% Transparent Home is possible ?

Dear Developers,
Good day to you.
Presently I am using Mr. Twolf's 3d rotational clock in my home. For nice background look, weather area disturbs. I like my home to be look like fully transparent. ( clock, weather, slide bar).
or
weather area, can you please make transparent - for full background viewing ?. I have attached my screenshot here.
Really thanking you for your innovations.

Hello, should be possible......look in this thread......http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=575723
... I think this works!?
1. At first disable TouchFlo in Settings/Today.
2. Then copy the 3 png's included in my zip
to Windows folder and overwrite existing files.
3. Restart your device and enable TouchFlo again.
Please tell me if it works correctly.

Overwrite? Surely, backing the original images up first would be a smart bit of advice to add
Thank you brothers
Dear Mr. Mielnoir,
Thank you for your help. I have attached my screenshots here.
It is better than before. Anyway , for me, it will be best, when there is no background shade (box shade) for clock & weather.
I am expecting your help.
Dear Mr. Frank,
Thanks for the thread help. I am looking now.
Thank you.
Dear Mr. UPPY,
Thanks for your advice. I already back up my theme by using M2D Customizer.

Hmm, the semi-transparent weather widget looks nice...thanks for the picture..... going to do that tonight aswell....
and see you have invisible top bar......
?
i don't know why looks like Yours? normally there should
be no glossy background.
all png's are empty pictures.
Good remark.....standard weather widget is a bit transparent.....but not as much as on pictures imo....
Thank you Dears
Thank you Dears.
Mr. Mielnoir,
Actually, while copying of your files to windows folder, windows denied to overwrite. I think I have to use 'Total Commander'.
Anyway Now I changed my theme, which is designed by Mr. Antonda.
Also I have used Mr. Johan's black theme. I have attached my screenshot here.
THANK YOU MR. MIELNOIR, MR. ANTONDA, MR. JOHAN, MR.TWOLF, and MR.FRANK
Theme looks great and indeed for overwriting files in windows folder use total commander.......

Can you share this theme with us?
TouchFlo (Manilla) transparent program slide bar
Hi Guys,
Can you help me with a solution to make my MEGA bottom bar and slide transparent ?
I modified hh_fw_tab_bg_fill.png and hh_fw_tabbtn.png to be transparent, but the result on MEGA is a black :-(
I've tried Transparant Bottom Bar.cab, same result.
I've tried NoCurtains.cab, no changes.
Thanks for helping.
Hello, think I went the same route as you...tried them all but no succes.....since most solutions described are for other devices....there is a very nice tool for the HD2.....it let's you do exactly what we want ......but can not be applied to QVGA result is you will hard reset your device....
I give you the thread anyway http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493011
So my answer would be: not possible at the moment.....I also looked at other HTC forums btw......
Oh forgot to tell you...I managed to get the slider transparent...but that does not look nice in relation with the slider bar because the icons are not on the same height.....
Update transparent slider bar
Reading through this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=575723 saw that there are themes which do not have a transparent slider bar but people skinned their bar exactly as to the corresponding background of the theme so it looks transparent......
Don't know how to do that......but you can give it a try.....

this works great for the hometab. but wehen you slide to another tab the background of the slider slides also. if your wallpaper is unicolor is this area this is a solution for you.

I thought about this idea... I will give it a try ;-)
I feel like "cheating" a little bit ;-)
The problem is if I change the wallpaper... However, I will keep searching
Indeed....I also wanted a transparent slider bar but having read everything think I abstain from it. Unless there comes a genius who can make a tool like that of the HD2......
btw if you see what "they" have in customizations......
100 % transparent home is possible. Thanks to xda developers

Dear all, as Ramsuresh mentions there is now a tool with which you can make your homescreen bars, sliders, buttons etc invisible...see this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=688313
Ilegal....with this new tool you can easily makes changes but has to be done after every wallpaper change indeed. Also when the theme is not "evenly" coloured you see that in other tabs...
Ramsuresh nice themes and great work.....

I installed CHT and its editor, then installed this Advanced Home Tab 2.2.3, but nothing changed and I see no new options anywhere.

Go into the CHT editor and find the part for quicklinks. These options are both available there.

The easiest way is to use Desktop VisualizeR
@jkolner is right.
desttop visualizer is a great app, and with it you can make 1x1 shortcuts using custom icons, or make all sizes of widgets.
Thanks for the tips guys, I'll have a look tonight, now to find some nice icons..... ;-)
For Icons in DockBar: Dont forget to click "encode" in Desktop VisualizeR
Some Icons can be found in my Signature, maybe you will like them
LG, Helmut
