Titanium today is very cool, but is there another transparent today screen for wm6.5 apart from Manila 2d?
Thanks
Dunno what else you could mean by transparent but there is also Pointui spb mobile and wisbar. They are not so easy to work with. Spb mobile I think, is the easiest and Pointui can be very attractive.

A 1 + for pointui
Throttlelauncher is a good option, you can configure it at your own taste using themes (even Iphone, Android, TF3D, BB, GSmart imitations or some themes specially made by a person or for a person with some useful and nice aspects) or taking some of the themes and making your own one. You can add widgets, flash, and WM-Today plugins into the panels of ThrottleLauncher.
You can do a search here in xda-dev's or go to www.throttlelauncher.com
* NOTE * I experienced some problems running TL if my device is low of memory *BUT* I continue using and recommending it (and trying to put it into my cooked ROMs) - I run it with Kaiser and with Herald both WM6.5.1 now.

Yes, some of the TL themes do have transparent toolbars depending of the PNG's that the theme uses. As they are capable to disable the toolbars of WM you can use full screen themes with their own (or without any) toolbars - where they can be configured as the theme developer, or the user, like to.
Moved this thread outside of Dev and Hacking where it did not belong.
transparancy is possible in wm6.5, means what you want is practically can be done.
Thnx a lot for your replies friends.
In fact i was looking for new today screen with transparent taskbar.
Throttlelauncher can be very good. Will give this a try.

hi!
I just got a XDA Orbit 2 ( HTC Touch). Now im looking for an appLauncher like tdLaunch. I want Icons on the desktop on which I simply press the stylus and the according app starts... Just like the quick launch bar in windows...
Should be freeware
Thanks

You ought to look at the tray launch feature in BatteryStatus. That's what I use for my today launcher. And the popup launcher in WkTask is fantastic as a launcher over other programs. Both of those are free and you can find them on this board.
yeahh... well thtas all too much gadgets... I got batti which is very small in size on the display and gives a full overview over my battery status...
All I need are little icons on my PPC Desktop without no frills...
Thx anyway!

try this, just adds small icons to your today screen...
"Launcher is a Today screen add-on for PocketPC's. It adds an icon bar, much like Windows's Quick Launch bar. You can place as many applications (screen space permitting) to it's list as you wish simply by copying link files into the Launcher folder, and launch the applications with one tap."

The current beta also includes a small today plugin to launch the menus from today screen. (And transition animations for submenus and finger gestures, similar to the HTC cube. There's a cube animation, too, but not as default because I'm afraid slow devices won't show it properly.)
Apart from that, I'd recommend cLaunch or maybe rlToday, if you want more freedom but also more complicated setup (XML file).
man Mort you freakin rock!!!
Thank you so so much for your cool appz o' course i got Buttons n Player installed... gonna check out that new version you talked about...
cLaunch dont seem to work properly on my touch though, but installed the before mentioned launcher and thats ok for me.
again... THANK YOU MORT FOR YOUR GREAT WORK !!!

I totally love touch flo but I am not sold that it is anything but eye candy and that other software overlays for WM6.1 might be better.
I was curious if there are people out there who have jettisoned touchflo in favor of something else, and what is that else?
Thanks for your opinions, input and software suggestions.
i go back and forth between wad and manilla
I googled WAD and was soured by what Google thinks I was referencing. )
What are you referencing? Manilla is TouchFlo right, but where does hte manilla come from? What is WAD?
WAD is Wisbar Advance Desktop, here you go:
http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/products/pocketpc/WisBarAdvanceDesktop/
There are a lot of nice skins for WAD.
ufufu got it for you
yes manilla is "touch flo"
manilla comes from htc but has been reverse engineered by some developers on xda.

i added wad to pda V10 and cant get it to work.. i disabled tf in today but wad still wont display weather etc..
its just a black screen
i really like the look of what wad is supposed to be..
any help is greatly appreciated
thanx
i see it the same way.. Manila2D/TF3D is good only for having your PDA look cool. it's not as useful as a PDA could get.
I set my UltimateLaunch to be as useful as i could using FEWidgets/Makecall (for speed dialing)/Rumball's weather/some internet icons and a networking plugin... and so forth.
..
How do you feel wisbar advanced desktop comapres to SPB pocket plus, do you have any experience?
Glad to hear I am not alone with tf3d not being the ultimate in work horses, I will look into ultimate launch.
by blank screen does it actually look like a blank screen, or does it look like there is nothing on your today screen. wisbar has to be completely designed by hand, or you have to download a theme file.
go here for a theme and tutorial i have put together.......

I have the same question and thoughts - perhaps WAD or SPB mobile shell would be a better fit b/c of the greater potential for customization. Can anyone comment on the memory usage / responsiveness between tf2d and WAD or tf2d and SPB mobile shell?
the opposite here. i used to have ultimateLaunch, but when Manila (TF3D) was born, ditched UL and now I am a happy manila user... love the changing themes every now and then, and everything else that comes with it, e.g. great graphics (rain animation is nice) and the close to no maintenance. manila is a little less flexibile the UL, but, pros overcome cons, for me at least.
As the title says...
I have used Manila 2D for quite a lot time.... and now I'm bored about it...
What do you suggest me?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Pointui home2
Same here.
I have installed a naked rom, and have added it. See www.pointui.com

That's an easy one: try out ThrottleLauncher. It's powerful, highly customizable, and has great developer support. If you get bored of how it looks, it's easy to install new themes. I highly recommend trying it out.

It´s simple but not heavy

Thanks to all...
I'll give a try to all suggested apps....
Anyone can suggest me any themes for both PointUI and TrottleLauncher?

Obviously you cannot use a Kaiser theme for your Touch, just go to Dev and Hacking and search for PointUI themes and Throttle launcher themes, there are a ton of them.

PointUI only has one theme, as far as I know... TL has a few really good themes: I suggest either the WM 7 Ultimate or Blackberry Storm themes. (You might even want to try the theme I've made, 88Cuts. )
try HomeScreen Plus UI, XML, Themes, etc.
There are all sorts out there from SPB to WisBar and even rlToday, I remember when I had my Touch I was bouncing from SPB Mobile Shell Lite to rlToday and finally stuck with that making my own homescreen layout. As someone mentions earlier though TrottleLauncher is pretty good as well.
dude, your'e light years behind..

No kidding.. Check the website again. They have over 10 themes, and better than that- dozens of applets. You can customize it better than TL, do not require Flash player7 and animation is incredible. I have both TL and Home2 and quite frankly, TL is not my favorite. however- it is in the eye of the beholder, so it is only mu humble opinion, of course... and I bet in few hours there will be people here saying just the opposite, and they have every right to do so..

FEWidgets (regular or lite)
...with Ultimate Launch

I sense that you might have a favorite... My bad, I haven't looked at their site since the first release of 2.0, they have a bunch of themes up.
I'd still maintain that TL offers more complete customization, but I respect your opinion. Although, just on the technical side, I should say that TL does not require Flash 7.
HI ALL!
I am now using PointUI and find that it always use up all my ram and make my phone hanged!
So I wonder if there are any Today interface / today plugin with beautiful looking and do not consume so much ram?
SPB mobile shell require ~3mb ram and is beautyfull
Take a look at HomeScreen++
It's memory lite, flexable & easily custumized!

I've tried in before when it is still in verion 2.0
but i think spb skins always provide the same layout...
clock on tops, nevigation buttons at the bottom, etc.
so I wonder if it is still in this case in the verion 3.0?

Can I rearrange the layout myself?
eg move the clock to the top right corner?

3.0 supports skins and is easy to configure, is finger friendly but isn't freeware ;/
Look at this thread
I use throttlelauncher. It uses little RAM but it's quite customizable with different themes for download and use. Each theme has a different UI though.
PS-UI stands for user interface so... UI interface = user interface interface? xD

Yes with most theme rows, especially if you can do XML edits, and here's the main themes thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350510
I guess WAD is out for you - it's slow and a memory hog I believe.
ThrottleLauncher is alright, but personally I prefer SPB Mobile Shell 3 (not free). The Titanium theme with a rhodium wallpaper looks fantastic!
Of course, prices on such software could fall with the release of the WM Marketplace...
Sorry, double post!
Why does xda-devs always give a message that says I posted twice in 30 seconds, and it's not allowed?
I waited, posted, then realised my previous post went through!

No, it's for many devices. It has animation optimisations for slower phones, it allows you to disable CHT lockscreen on WM 6.1 devices etc. It was beta tested on many devices too, for compatibility.
Not HD2 only, by any means.
Hi!

Running it and it runs very smooth. Also using bgwizard for transparent top and bottum.
I like eveything clean and transparent. Think the next versions of CHT will only be better. Hope in the future version CHT will be a combination of Maxsence and CHT.
I love my hd2. I eat and sleep with it
