HD2 Top & Bottom black bar transparent? - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

**cross post - initially posted to Touch HD forum by mistake**
Hi, Firstly thanks to all the contributors on here - you certainly come up with some great tweaks and mods. I have installed loads of stuff from here to personalise my HD2 so thanks again.
However, as much as i've searched, I cannot find a cab to remove (make transparent) the top and bottom black bars (start/status & phone/menu).
Is there a cab available specifically for this?
Many thanks
Rich

learn the art of HDWall, it can make a lot of your dreams come true beyond your imaginings

is there a way, to remove the phone shortkey and menu shortkey from when you're on just the home screen. Obviously it is needed everywhere else for going 'back' etc but in my opinion its just unsightly on the home screen as the hardkey for the phone does the same thing; and the 'menu' from a homescreen perspective i consider just to be the home hardkey. is there a cab anywhere that removes them? ''. thnx

This doesn't work for me.
Manila 2.5.1921

Use Max TTM (Max TF3D Theme Maker v4.1), it's also compatible for the HD2 and works a treat!
You can find more information, here.

HTC Touch Pro Themes!!

I thought i would start this thread cause i know its going to be coming soon. Has anyone tried to apply the themes from the diamond? I tried to use the program for the diamond and it crashed my device
I'm surprised no one has any ideas on theme changes for the TF3D??? Has anyone even tried to change it??
Themes
i have changed theme using tf3d config on Diamond forum with no problems. have a look in that forum i would think the majority would work on the PRO as well.
Diamond "Themes & Visual Tweaks" on Pro....
Here's my current setup..... That I'm very pleased with....
Using a combination of Advanced Config (applying a Theme) and the following cabs from the Diamond Themes Thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=441.
Icons and Call History Tab: TFL3DIconsWithCallHistory.cab
Font: Q-Style-Fixed.cab
Clock: GlassClock_v1.cab
Icons: HTC_3D.zip
I tried to upload the cab files but I'm having network problems but they (and many more) can be found if you use the search???
(Thanks to all the Guys on the Diamond forum for their hard work by the way...)
.
DAMN!!!
THAT looks cool!!!
i agree that is amazing!!!
Can't seem to find those icons.... Do u have a link to them?
The zip file contains all of the raw data to change the icons to the subtle 3D ones shown in my screen shots above.
You can either replace all the files manually OR change the file extension from .zip to .theme and use Advance Config to load them as a theme.
I really like these buttins because they are just a little different and not too Blingy.... just perfect.
(Thanks to jerem for sharing and the hard work)
Hope this helps - here's the original post from the Diamond Forum.....

Here is a new theme I made from the HTC original one.
Some slight changes made it more "3D" :
- persepctive on icons
- small shadow under icons
- thin tab bar with transparency and color graduation
- active tab with small brigthness
Hope you 'll enjoy it.
Thanks to other themes for inspiration
EDIT : Sorry for the first picture i did not realise it was so small. These ones are bigger but with worse quality....
I'll try later to post new ones if demanded..

But TF3D is for the diamond right?
I mean it's optimized 4 the diamond.....and not 4 the pro...
So the pro users have to use advanced config to load/install a theme
( .theme)?
excuse me, but i can install the theme for diamond in my htc pro? answer please, thanks

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...

Here is cab file with colored icons for the top bar

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

[question] fullscreen wallpaper wm6.5.x

attached you see a screenshot. The taskbar and bottombar are not part of the wallpaper. And the way i see it, by default 6.5.x doesn't provide any solutions...

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?

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

HDWall (used to) works a treat! as long as your on manila 1921
Well it used to, but lately it doesnt seem to be working,
However Ive just flashed a new rom (topix) which IS running 1921 and have just installed.... waiting for the result.....
....waiting....

(try one of my walls if you want, but make sure you have the high quality wallpaper patch from cookies installed, and .net compact framework 3.5

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...

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.

Manilla 2012 slider

Is there a working transparent slider cab for manila 2012??
Thanks in advance!
Yes there is one!
Nice..a link maybe..???!!
Anyone...??
+1 !
you can find a lot of things for manilla here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4939076#post4939076
found one
works with Manila 2.5.2012xx, like in Miri's WM6.5 ROM v6.0
Thanks,but i used the search button! Theres nothing there too for this version of manilla!
The only rom i saw with 2012 manilla and transparent slider is nrg's latest release.. ( i mean without maxmanilla )
Thanks! But it only makes the slider's backround tranparent! The (how should i call it???) white square (!) remains as it is and still overlaps the icons!
Can you find a similar cab??
