Transparent glass taskbar and softkeys? EDIT: Success! 12/15/09 - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

How do you get a transparent glass looking taskbar and softkeys like the ones featured in the ENERGY rom? I have looked around, and I can't find anything that allows me to just change those two things to look like that.
Here's the example:

thanks, i really appreciate your help. I actually do know how to make them just plain transparent, but I can't figure out how to get them that 3dish glossy effect that is on the ENERGY rom i linked to

like mine??

Hey... i got problems too... got it transparent... but not the rest...

thanks a lot. I finally got it going myself bro.
Only problem I have now is I can't combine it to work with max manila...
whenever I install max manila I have a white background and can't change it anymore.

I found these files through the forum, they are not mine, but it will help, either install the cabs or use resco explorer to overwrite the manila files.

Top border in TF3D - removal?

Hi,
Sorry if this is a question that's been asked before but I can't seem to find it by searching.
I recently installed the mod that allows you to put your wallpaper on all the manila tabs (mUn BackGround4AllPages v.02.cab), but since doing it I've noticed that a border remains at the top of each tab and my wallpaper is cut-off by it.
On my home tab, it doesn't look too bad as the date is shown in this border. Similarly in the music tab it looks kind of intentional as the shuffle and repeat icons are in there. But it looks awful on most other tabs - screenshots below!
Is this to do with the wallpaper mod I installed, or is there something else I can do to extend my wallpaper into this border?
Thanks!!
There's a cab floating around called nocurtains.cab.
You might want to try that.
I haven't tried it but it seems to do what you are looking for.
thanks! "curtains" was the phrase i needed in order to search

Hi...
Just a quick question...
are u using a theme or do you have TouchPRO Vodafone TF3D...
and if so what version TF3D do you have? (Settings Tab->about.....)
Yes I'm using Vodafone TF3D - not sure where in the about list I can see the TF3D version, butmy ROM version is 1.90.161.5 if that helps.

ok... do you know where I can download that ROM?
(or the TF3D manila files)
It's not in the about list... it's on the button (that changes colour when u press it)
I think there is a download for the TF3D scheme halfway down this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2687462
I downloaded it today as a restorable backup in case I decide to change my theme - but I haven't tried it yet. Let me know what it's like if you decide to try it No idea if the Vodafone Rom is available yet though ...

I think that's the old Vodafone TF3D from Diamond...
I found a Vodafone Raphael 1.90.161.5 ROM here...
http://rapidshare.com/files/147978863/vodafone.rar.html
btw.. you don't have to have a backup manilas to go back to original...
just delete all manila files from windows... (if u have TF3D in the ROM!)
and the original will be there (can't delete ROM files...)
Ok cool thanks. I know next to nothing about themes and editing for TF3D but I'm going to be doing lots of reading up!
If I was a bit more savvy I'd be glad to help you getting the Vodafone TF3D for you but I have no idea where to even start! If I have any luck I'll certainly post here

Manila Touchflo 3D Themes - 4 July 2009

Thanks to maranello's HDWall application at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3616825, I had managed to create two Manila Touchflo 3D Themes (version 2.1 Touchflo 3D) to share with you guys and gals.
The same background is in all the tabs. Hope you will like it. Here's the link:
I have also included the matching background for your Today (Titanium plugin) and Start Menu background.
Hope you will like it.
1. Disable Manila Touchflo 3D
2. Download the theme zip file you want
3. Copy the jpg files to your \Windows directory
4. Run the CleanReg_Manila_Background.mscr
5. Run the cab file (boats_M21.cap or sunsetM21OT.cab)
6. Soft Reset your device.
7. Enable Manila Touchflo 3D
Enjoy!
Here are two more themes.
Putting another post aside in case I need it.
Nice work~~
Maybe a stupid question but what is Manila
I used the search funtion but could'nt find anything usefull.
I like the theme's good job!!!
manila is the technical name for touch flo 3d, the trippy today screen overlay that HTC puts on its phones.
ie all that flip clock stuff and weather application.

I can't find any cab for Manila TF3D as well, so have to be contented with the roms that had it cooked in.
HELP!!
I installed the theme, but realized that the background was white and couldn't read the messages and appointments..So i uninstalled the theme, but the screen rotates with the g-sensor, causing a lot of delays...Could anyone help me get back to the original TF without the rotation thing...Thanks a lot in advance...

Transparent Top and Bottom Bar !?

Hi Folks,
I´m looking for a cab or the manila files to change the top and bottom bar to transparent.
Before i had a Diamond and so i tried the manila files from the diamond but this doesnt work.
I´ve searched the hole forum but i cant find any solution.
I hope anyone can help me because i get rid of this !
Ps.: It´s a 6.5 rom with manila 2.5
Hey do u mean the Top/Bottom bar from TF3D or the Top/Bottom bar with the softkeys & the "start"-button and so on?
Depending on your TF3D version you could use Max TF3D Theme Maker
to change the TF3D bars.. It should work with 2.5.
Hi there,
You might want to try this cab file, which is applicable for the bottom bar only. It makes it transparent. It is working for my Diamond 2. This solves 50% of your issue
I don't have anything for the top bar. Maybe some kind folks in the forum could recommend.
Cheers.
Jim
MAXTF3D does the job

I installed your theme. It's beautifull, but I think I did something wrong in the begining because the dialer doesn't show. I tried to uninstall all the theme but the rom it can not uninstall it. I have HD2. It was supose to not install 1 - Dusk_Manila_2.5_Evolution_v2.0? Anyway, please give me a tip of how to uninstall the whole thing and go back to the original skin.. Oh.. and it seems to slow a little bit my device. Is normal? Thank you very much.

Hi Mickael,

[question] fullscreen wallpaper wm6.5.x

Right - I see what you're asking now.
The wallpaper is actually "overlayed" with the taskbar and menu, so it is fullscreen, but behind those objects.
Search for HDWall (it's not in the Leo section - I believe it's in the Blackstone section, but could be wrong, so do a search of all forums).
That makes hi-quality wallpapers (better than the resized-by-htc wallpapers that you normally get) and it does it for all tabs. You also have the option to skin the taskbar and menu, and even change the slider if you want.
That will do what you ask anyway. Hope it helps

i'm using miri 1.4 rom right now, that one is provided with manila 1922. Hdwall still doesn't support that version. The wallpaper will come out mangled and all weird....

Try the HQWallpaper cab from the 1st post - that may help, but I'm not promising anything.

That shouldn't make any difference. It's not making any changes to the OS, just the GUI.

However Ive just flashed a new rom (topix) which IS running 1921 and have just installed.... waiting for the result.....

i noticed that when i select titanium as homescreen, the bottom bar is semi transparent, how can i also get that when using sense??? That would fix half of the problems i'm facing...
edit, not only bottom bar, but also top taskbar is semi transparent then...... why does this only work with titanium and not htc sense?
no clever ideas/solutions for me?

I told you already, MaxTTM
Try this Transparent softkey .tsk file, along with MaxTTM.
Then you can have clear bars and no softkey bubble buttons.
Although it does not line up perfectly. It looks best with textured or patterned wallpapers. In my opinion. It really depends on what B4all you are using as well.
