Hi, I know there are ways to change the word start on 6.1, but I've tried and didn't get any results....is anyone aware of a cab, maybe, to make that disapear ?
Thanks
there are replacment task bars that also do this, changing your icons for something more eye candy which also can replace the start.
You didnt say what device you were using, but a search found this :

Also search ur device forum.
Thank you !

I know the background of the start menu can be changed by:
1) changing the phones wallpaper like normal
OR
2) replacing the startmenu_background_screen_"resolution".png from within the windows folder.
The second is only if you want a different wallpaper in your start menu to the rest of your phone. (the default file is just a transparent .png which shows your normal wallpaper underneath)
I know you can also change the folder icons, by changing around other png files in the window folder.
My question is how can you change the font style or more importantly the colour?
Also, is it possible to change it so it resembles the wm6.1 start menu instead of the honeycomb?
(please dont say "just use a 6.1 ROM" because i dont want to. lol. I like wm6.5 as its quicker and more finger friendly, i just want the old start menu back)
no one know how to do these things?
anyone?
PLEASE?
im desperate here
lolz
As much or as little as you wish.
Have a look at some of the stuff I posted in here :-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=504320
Should answer a few of the basics.
Thanks for your reply, but those replies are about the today screen. I dont even use titanium any more. I find M2D more useful.
What i want to know is how to edit the Start menu.
the list of programs shown as hexagon icons
I want to change it to like how it was on wm6.1.
Just a grid of icons with words on a white background
OK, I have got what you are after... sounds like a registry hack somewhere....
Unfortunately the holiday(UK)/vacation(US), season is upon us, and I may not have found the solution for a week or two. If and when I do, I'll post it here and send you a PM.
Thank you.
Its appreciated

I second this question. And what I want is better not the 'grid view'.
Better we have a registry tweak way, so that we can make a HoneyComb Toggle.
In some cases when I want more RAM, it's better to shutdown the honeycomb and the titanium today plugin.
So another question is do we have a tool to toggle the titanium? Like we can do to M2D? I know we can do it through today settings, but I'm looking for a way like regitweak or mortscript, so that I can use a shortcut to map it to a hardware button, do it within one touch.
[Edit: Got some sence for the half of first question from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=509160&highlight=start+menu
Seems the WM6.5 honeycomb start menu is an executable called shell32.exe. If so we can shut it down with a powerful task manager like DotFred's TaskMgr.exe or let it show up in the htc task manager by registry tweak and kill it. Will report it back after I test it next week. Or anybody can test it right now?
But the first question still need an answer.
Edit3: So what is the process or service of the WM6.1 start menu ? (for that I think it's not an exe) This may help to answer the question of how to resemble old start menu back.
And then what is titanium? An exe, a process or a service? Got a name?]
Thanks for any help.
there isnt!
there isnt a way to back to 6.1 start menu...
but you can use the Qucik menu that is a lil same... but you need to leave blank the cpr file for grid scene on your windows folder... then use the Quick menu that Utaker post on devs and hack forum just search with this exact words " Quickmenu instead honeycomb" you may get all the answer you need there... Oh and the honey comb can be modded in maaaany ways just search all over the devs a nd hack sections
thanks bye.
Dear all, I know that probably you have heard this request already but after 2 days being stuck with trying to find a simple solution I decided to write. I need the following:
Simple task bar, soft key bar transparency cab.
Now I know this can be achieved through HDWall and TF3D but isn't there a most simple solution?
I tried using TF3D and couldn't find propper instructioins because they ende up here.
Tried the search function but nothing comes up.
Sorry for the new thread but will appreciate a lot if someone could give me a hint.

I know you've said you've already thought of HDWall, but I really don't see what's wrong with that as a solution. It's real easy to use and you simply end up with a cab file. It'll take like 2 minutes to create your own cab.
Just follow the instructions on the main HDWall thread and you'll have what you're asking for.
Thanks for the prompt reply. The only reason why I don't want to use it is because I love to change my wallpapers very oftenly (depending on my moods). That is why I was thinking of a most simple solution...

Well like I said, HDWall only takes a couple of minutes to create a cab, so you can have full resolution wallpaper, on all your tabs, with whatever config you want for the look of the whole screen. I've got a collection of cabs on my device. I can change my wallpaper simply by running one of them.
Each to their own, but it really is too easy.
Good luck
Ok so firstly i have spent 30minutes checking and im yet to find it, if its already been asked/answered then sorry .
Im basically looking to remove the useless items(for me) on the home screen :
The weather- I check this on the seperate tab so i dont need it
The massive clock- Blocking majority of the screen, has time on the top right so again no need.
Disable quicklinks unless i scroll down the home page(i think this is possible already)
Calendar- Tried removing and is still there.
Im trying to minimise the stuff on the screen to admire the wallpapers , havent found a way through the options or via cab's to do any of this, if anyone has suggestions then id appreciate it .
Using duttys leo cooked rom, Manila 2.5.20113626
MaxManila (which you can find here at xda) is able to customize almost anything you might want to change - adding or hiding elements is easy.
There may be other options of course, but I think this is the most convenient.
Just make sure you install the correct version for your Manila.

thanks for the reply and links, however i did try those in that thread and i ended up with my HD2 failing to load htc sense . Id rather remove the features than make them transparent apart from the slider which i managed to make transparant .
What section is the download for MaxManila in?. Is it specific for hd2 or is it somewhere else, cant find it on its own in here so far .
edit: actually no i missed the no clock from your link! I tried the other parts originally , just tried it and it works perfectly now however i stillk need to somehow get rid of the calendar and weather along with quicklinks .
Hey Guys,
after reading and learning a lot from this Forum,
I need Your help a second time now:
1) At first I want to know how i get the upper and main Taskbar transparent.
But I dont want to change my Theme cause of many Tweaks i made.
Are there any Solutions for that.
2) I want to change the Windows Startbutton Icon.
I have installed the standard icon, but i want to replace it with a b/w
Sony Ericsson Icon.
Hope You can help.
Can't find any working solutions.
I'm from Germany, so my English is not very good and i have problems to search for the correct words/tags etc.
Thread moved to Q&A.
I installed new task bar (dinik anastasia) and followed the instructions. It changed my icon at the top showing I had a VM but nothing else is showing. Now I can't get to my start screen. I understand I can unistall this problem is nothing happens when I touch start at the top and when I press the windows button at the bottom again nothing happens. So I cant even access the area needed to uninstall this program or anything else. Please help

Did you install sdkcerts before installing the taskbar? Something in shellres.192.dll is causing the problem. Can you slide over to your setting tab? if so hit menu, all settings, system, then remove programs to uninstall. Or set up one of your quicklinks to access file explorer, navigate to the cab, click on it as if your were going to reinstall and let it uninstall previous version then softreset and see if it fixes everything..
Yes I installed that first as it instructed. I was finally able to get into my applications and removed it and everything seems to be back to normal. I would really like to install new themes, etc. any idea of a good place to get the downloads from (seeing how my first try didnt work)? Thanks!
^^^ You´re at the best possible place.
But, you need to know a little bit what you´re doing.
A taskbar must fit your WinMo version, plus, as the previous tip said, the certification must be there.
Most tweaks and mods are made for specific versions, like any other software for any other operating system.
Once you´re familiar with those things, you can pimp as much as you want.

Thanks and sorry for all the questions but you guys are the expert. I would like to change my theme, icons, layout, etc. as I am quite bored with mine. Can you point me in right direction? I've downloaded a few different ones but none seem to work.
Thanks in advance for all the help!

I´m not really an expert, either... just a user like you. All I made is some graphics for clocks because I like them in real life, too...
As a beginner, I would start to look a little to what others do. This thread here is great to start: Klick! Maybe just start with the last pages, where you´ll see the latest tweaks and mods. Sometimes people write where they got what they use, sometimes you can ask.
One of the greatest tools to change the layout and the functionality of Sense (that´s the basic user interface of an HD2 using Windows Mobile 6.5) is CHT (short for coOkiemonster´s Home Tab): Klick!
Add some graphic mods and tweaks, and there you go. Some examples:
[6THEMES]Nordpolcampers Tranquility Theme Cabs up! + many more Themes
[THEME] WP7 UI and WM SKINS [UPDATED 26/5/11]
[ Theme.Windroid - The Final ]******** HTC SENSE 3.0*******
Please carefully read in each thread what the author says about instructions.
Last, but not least, there is much more to discover (as in if you like clocks, too, follow the link in my signature for some examples, those clocks are made to be used with CHT).
Enjoy your great device, have fun with personalizing!
