Hello,
I'm trying to get my top and bottom taskbars transparent. But I have no success.
I tried the cab from smaberg, changed the manila files in windows folder and also removed the taskbar.png with transparent ones.
All this doesn't work for me.
Who has a solution for Manila 2.5.19211619.0.
Thanks.
For transparent taskbars you have to use "HDWall" - search for it
smabergs cab is only for the cutains behind the operator logo and the bottom slider

But tbh, this is not a solution for transparency... It just replaces the black backgrounds in the top and bottom with slices of the selected wallpaper, meaning that as long as you can see the top bar, even if in a program, it will have the same slice of the wallpaper.
Real transparency comes for example when you press the windows hard button and get to that menu, that's a real transparent bar at the top... Although it might work in the same way, what do I know. I just find it too ugly that when you're in another program the top bar still has the slice of the wallpaper..

I tried HDWall. But the result is not satisfying. The bottom taskbar is now like the wallpaper. But the top is black. If I go to start menu the background is from the theme only the bottom taskbar is from the wall paper.
If I slide the menu I can't see the background. All is black except the bottom taskbar.
At the end this is ugly.

I played a bit around and deactivated Sense. So there´s the standard WM 6.5.5 homescreen - with transparent taskbar & softbar. Why isn´t this possible with Manila?

Is it possible to make wktask background transparent in wm6.5?
In wm6.5 im forced to set black or very dark wallpaper if i wanna use wktask cause otherwise bar seen behind the icons of running apps.
Or maybe is there other app shows running apps in taskbar icons..?
attached some examples of what i mean:
Hi,
there is an option in register "design" - Force 3D design even it flat theme
disable this option and the bar should have the style you want...
but don´t really know if this works on transparent backround too....

yes i'm doing it & i have flat bar but not transparent, screenshots just example i found in google...

Same problem.. It's a pity, this soft is so great.. Any other soft with same features?
Try this one:

It's great!
Does it have same feaures (program icons on the top bar) than Wktask?
See the screenshots.
yeah but is the ugly X blue icon? the close one?
Nopes. That's the program icon.
It shows like this:
And why are icons on the active program title? Is it normal?
Errr, how would you switch tasks if there wasn't any icons in the active program bar?
yep but wktask can hide the title when more than 1 program launched. Not this one? It's very ugly with the icon mixed with title.... Are there people here who accept it?
This is a simple and effective program.
But you are too complicated for me.
I give up.
it look pretty good, but jst because icons come on the titles.. I will wait for releases

looking for a solution for transparent background. Would make my taskbar so much more beautiful.
I realised that despite disabling the battery meter on top, there is stil some extra 5 pixels of additional taskbar (for the battery meter). On WM6.1, disabling it takes away the extra pixels, but not on WM6.5.x

I posted a TIP thread a few months back... hope it helps

Hey,
In the standard Titanium you can have very nice transparent bottom and top bars.. Like the bars with the startmenu icon and the 2 shortcuts.
But how to get these transparent in the TouchFlo interface??
EDIT: Lol, i'm so dumb
I'm soo sorry XDA, i didn't use the search button. I found that there is a new version of MaxTTM were you can easily set it to 'transparent'
Hi all,
I searched over the foums but could not find an answer. Is there any cab that change the rounded buttons in WM 6.5.5 into Text only buttons? There are some themes that do that but I dont want any other fancy extras (i.e. change icons, task bar, etc.), I just want these buttons to go away so that my wallpaper will look nicer. I got the whole home page transparent now except for these buttons.
Many thanks,
NTD

delete the relevant section of registry is one way to do it
Code:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\SoftKeyBar
if you look you can clearly see the name of the images that are used.
if you delete the values then the buttons disappear as well..
Many thanks, I deleted the keys in Toolbat instead of SoftKeyBar and they are now gone

I have the files, but I don't know how or where to put them, exactly.
Please, can someone tell me where to place them and how?
- HTCblack_taskbar
- HTCblack_softkeybar
Thanks in advance.
Hi
Can you give us a bit more information about what you are wanting to do?
Are you wanting to replace the stock taskbar and and softkey bar with something new?
If so, perhaps this thread will be of interest:

I want to replace the bottom bar and not mess up the taskbar icons, pinscreen and volume control.
So far, I've tried installing a bottom bar by cab, and it does all three of these things.

I installed the black glossy taskbar from the link above and it has done nothing but change the taskbar and softkey graphics. No icons, volume control etc items have been modified.
copy them to Windows directory in device memory
hi was lookin for a mod that makes top and bottom bar on hd2 seethrough or so you can see wallpaper but i got this gr8 cht(cookies) mod and want it to be compatible ,,,thx in advance,tried lookin myself but to no avail,btw just want a cab that i dont have to mess with the registry or change settings just want the cab program that i can install and its done........if this is possible i would be ever so grateful.THANKYOU
u need to install cookies wall paper patch and then an actual wallpaper cab. You'll also need the actual wallpaper image to use as your start menu background so it matches up. I dont think it actually makes them transparent just applies a section of the wallpaper behind.
