[REQ]Transparent Task bar and Soft keys

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

Or simply don,t post if you don,t want to help

A little help in case it's needed...
I think I know what you are aiming at...
1./ You'd like to change your wallpaper. It's the easiest thing what you can do on a WM device, just go to Windows Settings > Home > Mark "Use this picture as the background" and Browse your file(s).
Or in the Manila settings go to Personalize and then to Home tab wallpaper, and select a file...
Or if you want to have the same background in All Tabs, install CHT Editor, and then in the Home Tab click "Menu", and select Set Wallpaper.
Here you can find as many pictures as you want...
2./ You want to have a percentage-displayed battery icon, don't you? THIS will do the trick (works only on the 1.66 ROMs!), just download and then install to the Device Memory, do an SR, and experience the difference!
If you have a dissimilar ROM to 1.66, download this "circular" % battery icon! THREAD LINK (XDA)
Hope I could help...

Sorry, the HD2 have "Sense 2.5" interface, instead of Manila, I made a mistake when I wrote it. The Manila 2D / 3D is the former interface on the older HTC phones, but since the Touch Diamond 2 it has changed to Sense 2.x!
So the Sense is the main interface on the HD2, it appears first when you switch your device on, and if you want to change the wallpaper, go to Settings Tab > Personalize > Home tab wallpaper and select a file of yours.
You can find out what ROM version you have at the Settings Tab as well, just go to "About Phone" and choose "Software information", and check "ROM version" out!

I have
Manila version 2.5.20
Rom version 1.72.206
Radio version 2.07
Will the clock download work for me ?

Hi John,
It wasn't my intention to be rude, actually I was trying to be helpful. Although I must admit that I could have used some more/other words. I really think that the best help is to learn to use the search function. I've also asked for help, even frequently, but never after I searched for the answer myself.
Sincerely,

You would most likely have to edit one of the .dll files.. which would take even more time just to search for the how-to on that. But you can check here to see if there's and easy tweak, and here to see if manila files are involved
But the easiest way to find the answer, and always is, the search bar

Hi guys,
I truly appreciate both your help, those links are very informative, but unfortunately for me, there is nothing related to my question.
As I said, before posted my question, I did some search on the forum and on the web, but without success, so I decided to post hoping someone can help me about it, but I'm still waiting for a solution please wait 2 seconds for an uncompressed image, or press Ctrl+F5 for original quality page
Anyway, I thank both for your kind attention and support.

The small clock in the taskbar is a WinMo 6.5.x item/issue, so probably you'll have to be in that forum section with your question.
regards, Kuzibri

As previous posters stated - it cannot be done in an easy way via registry editing. To give example - the battery taskbar icons are included in one of the .dll files in Windows folder, so changing their looks requires .dll editing - which can be done (you can search this forum for 'custom taskbar'), but sometimes has unpleasant side-effect as disappearance of volume slider.
Having said that, I'd suggest excellent BattClock by - which can provide you a clock color of your choosing and lots of other stuff

Hi Kuzibri,
I think my issue is in the right section because it is a WinMo 6.5 with the start icon in the top/left side into the taskbar.

Hi p107r0,
Well, I appreciate your explanation, but I thought it might be somewhat similar way to that described by Ephestione in his useful thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=698616
Also, I appreciate your suggestion about BattClock which is very good, but personally I like the simplicity and nice look of the Battline one and unfortunately there is a kind of conflict between those programs.
Thank you very much.

Any other idea? please.....please wait 2 seconds for an uncompressed image, or press Ctrl+F5 for original quality page

I am not sure I understand your question. Do you want to reskin them?

On Home screen
go to Menu -> CHT Editor -> SoftKey-> Switch off - Enable CHT Soft Keys -> Menu -> Apply Changes -> Home
restart sense

i think he wants to assign programs to the softkeys
with this release, only 3 are possible.
ask in the CHT or CHTE thread, if they could make more possible in next release

I am not sure I understand your question. 我不明白你说的什么

nobody understands your question, but I want to ask the same.
How to change the built in icons of the soft keys?
There is no mention of it in the manual.
I dont want to change the functionality, I dont want to reassign the programs or commands, I just want to change the built-in icons for custom ones.
thank you in advance

Ahh This is actually quite simple. Copy the cht_softkey files from your windows folder into your computer. Use these as templates when creating your new softkey icons. Then simply place them back into the windows folder and reset.

It's bad practice to spam threads for each specific question, when a CHT2 thread already exists.
Furthermore, this question has been already answered and if you had bothered to search you would have known that.
Finally, the name of the thread is very general and therefore is useless for anyone trying to look for information.
I would suggest to the mods to close it or to move it to the CHT thread.

dont worry I didnt try to use any search tool. if I didnt, I wouldnt land in this post
and I agree, thanks to miller710 the mods can lock this thread but not to move it or any, because google leads here.
the CHT thread is too complex, too huge and even when you try to google "cookie's home tab" that thread is not between the results.

Remember to take backup of the 'CHT_XXXX' files from the Windows folder, befor you overwrite them with the new icons/.png files.
Some of the icons e.g. the Notification icons is not .png files but manila files, and you need a manila editor to change them.

Really appreciated - was imo a good question with a bad header
I have searched alot to find this answer - but ended up just seeing this by coincidence. - anway /cheers for being able to change the two 'fixed' icons.
In general when searching for Co0kie Monsters Threads ... don't be fooled by only knowing the writers name - know how to write the writers name.
Cookie Monster = Wrong
Co0kie Monster = Right
Kindly and Thanks for opening this this thread!
Kwasmir

jkolner: backuping is definitely suggested, allways, anytime when doing any "hacking"
Kwasmir: yeah, now when I found the real CHT2 thread I am aware of that little detail cookie x co0kie thanks

I would suggest creating a separate thread named "CHT tips and tricks" where would be the final solutions colected and published.

[Q] How to change icon manually?

Hi everybody,
I know this is a stupid question and out there are many threads about how to change the icons exct...
I also know my BIG problem make laugh many people because I should live with it but I have to know how to do it and make the icons like I like.

do you see the icon of WOW HD Settings? That's the icon which I can't change and I do not understand why!

If you can not see it in JWD then you will need hunt it in the registry & link a PNG file to it.
Have a look at this thread to help pin it down in registry:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6188525&postcount=1
If you have problems finding it you could export & upload parts of the registry tree for us to help.
Other option if you have installed srsWOW via cab is to edit cab/exe icons prior to install.
*JWD tip: some icons show as default JWD paint pallet & no text so you got to guess what they are ! have another good look ...
