transparent task bar - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

Hi
Is their a cab file which makes the top and bottom task bars transparent?
Thanks in advance
Dan

hi,
no there isn't but you can use some custom app to make taskbars transparents, like MaxTTM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493011
enjoy

But with this Tool it isn't possible to change the Windows Taskbar and Softkey BG into transparant, is it?

just use HD Wall's n create ur custom background with transparent bar's.
use the search option 0_o

Cookie Monster has made a test patch, for 2.5.1922 that you can now try with HDwalls! Not quite working on my rom, but may bring you success.

Sweet...which 6.5 rom are you both running. I got bored with the one I had but this is causing some new chills...
It wouldn't be possible to make a cab for just the wait cursor would it? I like the icons and I love the wait cursor, but I don't like the start menu logo so I guess i'm being picky.....sorry.

Very nice icon. Is it any cab for the same icon for WM6.1 QVGA?
Can I install this to UltimateX V4 by Abusalza? It is with WM6.1.
Can you separate the cab for just theme, just icon, and just wait logo? That way we can choose what we need
Your dialer still is the best one, works perfectly on 6.5
Thank you!

I could try...but is not easy since the wait icons are inside shell32.96.mui ...with those other icons I will try to do it over the original speakers and so then.
PS - what start menu logo u like most? sugestions are welcome that was just something to feel different

OK I will do it

I've changed those in both 6.1 & 6.5. The Bars are part of Shellres.dll where the image above the bar is either shellres or phcanoverbmp. They are actually 2 different images and is why they look wider than the rest of the icons. In Shellres there are 5 bar icons, only 4 are used though in most ROMs.

just try it, you can uninstable it after if you don't like it
if you try it you will most probably want the theme (and not only the clock)
Well, why not. I'm gonna give a try right now.
I was just afraid with the contact background opaque, I actually use Background 4 all with 20 shortcuts.
Well, didn't work like expected, but work like I wanted ! I had to uninstall my BkG4All+20 quicklinks, then reinstall it after. I do not have colors changed in calendar, neither opaque background in contact.
Email notification round changed. Thank you.
Just lose the "alarm" quicklink on home page.
Something went bad...
Afther istaling this great theme my wether form under the clock went down over the date and alarm, see the atach. also why I can't uninstall it? it says the previous version can not be uninstaled and if i want to remove it from programs list, I chose yes and the thee is still there and scrambeld
i have exactly the same problem with the visual stuff, but i can uninstal it

[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....
edit: also i don't see the option in hdwall to choose wm6.5.x only wm6.5, does that have any impact?

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.

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.

Transparent slider background - how?

Hi!
I played a little with HDWall today and got a little Problem with it: The slider bar is "hanging in the air" due to the grey background. How do I get this thing transparent (the background, not the icons )?

NRGZ28 flushed the eReader-tab, but the documents-tab is still there. New is the call-history-tab...
So here´s the full listing:

If you're using the same version of Manila as I am (2.5.1920), you need to install a transparent version of the file 511c6915_manila to 'get rid' of that 'curtain' behind the slider. If you're using a different Manila version, it might be a different filename, but the effect should be the same.
Antonio also has a cab that will add transparency to the slider in several places. It may be more than you need, but he can at least point you in the right direction...

finally i could change bg in all tab with transparent bar
i found solution by installing bg4all first & then bgwizard in this thread, and then change bg with bgwizard..
@medusar
bgtweak works only with stock files (shell32.exe & aygeshell.dll) & I couldn't find that stock files suit to my ROM version. but with bgwizard i could change background without need of other files..

Hello grgiannis,
Appreciate if you can help me to get back the original settings (black bars).
So far, I manage it by using default black wallpaper. Is it your soft which created 3 files named up, down and back on root of My Device? if i remove it taskbars become hugly grey.
If help, i've cookies home and cht installed.
Thanks again.
grey bars as above
i also tried this mod but removed it as it seemed to stop manila rotation. however i'm now left with grey task and softkey bars. how can i get them back to black
Thanks grgiannis, it works great on my TD2 with Energy Rom, WM6.5 & Cookie Home tab.
