Dear Developers,
Good day to you.
Presently I am using Mr. Twolf's 3d rotational clock in my home. For nice background look, weather area disturbs. I like my home to be look like fully transparent. ( clock, weather, slide bar).
or
weather area, can you please make transparent - for full background viewing ?. I have attached my screenshot here.
Really thanking you for your innovations.

Hello, should be possible......look in this thread......http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=575723
... I think this works!?
1. At first disable TouchFlo in Settings/Today.
2. Then copy the 3 png's included in my zip
to Windows folder and overwrite existing files.
3. Restart your device and enable TouchFlo again.
Please tell me if it works correctly.

Overwrite? Surely, backing the original images up first would be a smart bit of advice to add
Thank you brothers
Dear Mr. Mielnoir,
Thank you for your help. I have attached my screenshots here.
It is better than before. Anyway , for me, it will be best, when there is no background shade (box shade) for clock & weather.
I am expecting your help.
Dear Mr. Frank,
Thanks for the thread help. I am looking now.
Thank you.
Dear Mr. UPPY,
Thanks for your advice. I already back up my theme by using M2D Customizer.

Hmm, the semi-transparent weather widget looks nice...thanks for the picture..... going to do that tonight aswell....
and see you have invisible top bar......
?
i don't know why looks like Yours? normally there should
be no glossy background.
all png's are empty pictures.
Good remark.....standard weather widget is a bit transparent.....but not as much as on pictures imo....
Thank you Dears
Thank you Dears.
Mr. Mielnoir,
Actually, while copying of your files to windows folder, windows denied to overwrite. I think I have to use 'Total Commander'.
Anyway Now I changed my theme, which is designed by Mr. Antonda.
Also I have used Mr. Johan's black theme. I have attached my screenshot here.
THANK YOU MR. MIELNOIR, MR. ANTONDA, MR. JOHAN, MR.TWOLF, and MR.FRANK
Theme looks great and indeed for overwriting files in windows folder use total commander.......

TouchFlo (Manilla) transparent program slide bar
Hi Guys,
Can you help me with a solution to make my MEGA bottom bar and slide transparent ?
I modified hh_fw_tab_bg_fill.png and hh_fw_tabbtn.png to be transparent, but the result on MEGA is a black :-(
I've tried Transparant Bottom Bar.cab, same result.
I've tried NoCurtains.cab, no changes.
Thanks for helping.
Hello, think I went the same route as you...tried them all but no succes.....since most solutions described are for other devices....there is a very nice tool for the HD2.....it let's you do exactly what we want ......but can not be applied to QVGA result is you will hard reset your device....
I give you the thread anyway http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493011
So my answer would be: not possible at the moment.....I also looked at other HTC forums btw......
Oh forgot to tell you...I managed to get the slider transparent...but that does not look nice in relation with the slider bar because the icons are not on the same height.....
Update transparent slider bar
Reading through this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=575723 saw that there are themes which do not have a transparent slider bar but people skinned their bar exactly as to the corresponding background of the theme so it looks transparent......
Don't know how to do that......but you can give it a try.....

this works great for the hometab. but wehen you slide to another tab the background of the slider slides also. if your wallpaper is unicolor is this area this is a solution for you.

I thought about this idea... I will give it a try ;-)
I feel like "cheating" a little bit ;-)
The problem is if I change the wallpaper... However, I will keep searching
Indeed....I also wanted a transparent slider bar but having read everything think I abstain from it. Unless there comes a genius who can make a tool like that of the HD2......
btw if you see what "they" have in customizations......
100 % transparent home is possible. Thanks to xda developers

Dear all, as Ramsuresh mentions there is now a tool with which you can make your homescreen bars, sliders, buttons etc invisible...see this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=688313
Ilegal....with this new tool you can easily makes changes but has to be done after every wallpaper change indeed. Also when the theme is not "evenly" coloured you see that in other tabs...
Ramsuresh nice themes and great work.....

Buuf Theme based on Buuf icons made by Paul Davey (aka mattahan - http://mattahan.deviantart.com/gallery/)
Buuf analogue clocks (Sniper-wolf)
Buuf digital clocks (Rawrscary, Degake, Sniper-wolf+Degake background)
Buuf icons (Rurph) - a mix of Buuf Deuce icons, the shape of iReflect icons and the backgrounds made by popdog54 (ppcgeeks)
To replace icons, you need to use either JWMD or CSMI icon changer. links are http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567080 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=589459. short tutorials on how to use these apps are in the respective threads. once you have replaced the icons, you will need to delete Sense icon cache. for that use Sense Icon Cache Clearer - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=662233
For the second and third Buuf icon packs, check post 7
For the icon background psd template, check this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7237519&postcount=1033

Buuf add-ons for CHT 1.8 + music button fix (Degake, Rawrscary)
Check post 7
Buuf hq wallps/HD wall cabs (Rurph, Franwella)
To have the same background (as on the homescreen) on other tabs, you need first to install the right version of Cookie's patch for the manila version you are using. the patch can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529730
After that you need to install one of the hd wall cabs, choose the cab of the image you like and install, you will get the same wallpaper on all tabs + a high quality wallpaper on the home screen
Buuf people, internet, calendar, music, weather tabs (Rawrscary/Degake)
For these tabs, check post 6 (there are all-in-one cabs for manila 1921 and 2012). Those having problems with the robot image not showing up in the calendar tab, try one of Rawrscary's calendar cabs (see post 7)

Before installing any parts, please back-up your phone just to be on the safe side
Big thanks to CJ Lippstreu from pocketnow.com for the video review
Frequently asked questions:
Q: Is there an all-in-one cab for this theme?
A: At the moment there is no such cab. The reasons are first, we have made several versions for the same parts (like analogue/digital clocks, sliders), so people can choose the one they like and second, since we are still working on the theme, it is easier for us to deal with any bugs/problems having seperate cabs.
Q: Will there be an all-in-one cab?
A: Yes, once we comlete customising all parts.
Q: Do I need to install Cookie´s Home Tab first?
A: Apart from the analogue clocks/cht-addons, you don´t need, but it is adviceably to get the full advantage of your phone and the theme.
Q: Do I need to have Manila/Sence 2.5?
A: Yes
Q: How to install the parts?
A: Download a zip file to your pc, extract & copy a cab file to your phone´s internal memory or storage card, using a file explorer on your phone find & tap that cab file, install it on the device and then soft reset/restart your phone.

There is also a matching slider out there that matches. I think it is called way out there or way out there 2. Sumpin like that.
Thank you guys, much appreciate your support
The theme could be ready soon, just need to find an expert who will be willing to customise the taskbar, stock flip clock, slider and any other stuff that can go with the theme

Hi... I remember requesting a Buuf theme couple weeks back and I'm thankful that some people out here shares the same idea with me. I'm hoping that you'll be able to make a complete theme like the GTX or Fallout theme out here with the slider bar as well. However, is it possible to change the stock icons to the Buuf icons by overwriting the stock ones in the windows folder or something? Because I hesitate to change it with the icon changer software and it's kinda like a waste of space by having an additional software just for the icons? Secondly, I believe by using such app I need the new icon files to be kept in the phone or the SD card. But still I'm happy enough that you're developing a theme based on Buuf. Thank you so much and can't wait for the full release.
Looks different, nice work
Thanks man, doing my best

Hi leewenxu,
Yeah, I saw the thread you started, even posted some links there
Frankly saying I have no idea whether you can overwrite the stock icons. Personally, I installed JWMD Icon Changer, which is very easy to use.
As regards the free space, yeah the new icons will take some space on the internal memory or storage card, depends where you keep them. I keep them in the storage card and they take around 5-7 mb not more. Even if it was like 100-200 mb, I would still change them, since I couldn't stand the stock icons
But I guess it is a personal decision
Thanks for your support by the way

here's a quick slider I put together, It's still missing footprints, face book and twitter icons so if you have them i'll happily add them to it. Let me know if you want me to change / move the icons around. Also what do you think of a slider bar something like this?
Rebuilt my theme from the moment http://forum.sdx-developers.com/theme-files/suave-enamored-di18-di06-and-de03-versions-updated/ for the EVO.
Dont let the name fool u it will diffenetly have sense
This theme has a modded services.jar taken from the azreal rom. So if your runing a different rom that has a modded services.jar u will lose those changes. As always nand backup b4 u flash
http://www.mediafire.com/?ct584khzzamr0u0
note: do not flash more then one zip at a time. flash theme then reboot to system then flash clock
Red Htc clock: flash via recovery
http://www.mediafire.com/?o54af5g4jzsga9a
Original thread/author http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853832
Wallpaper: DO NOT FLASH, UNPACK AND PUT ON SD CARD
http://www.mediafire.com/?fz15sqohfjd318q
PLANNED FUTURE CHANGES:
power controls in the notification bar
themed htc widgets
This theme has only been tested running the newest azreal rom based on the 3.70 ota. But should work with any 3.70 rom.
I'm not responsible if u turn your lovely evo into a paper weight
Having a problem, i have been trying to make the notification pulldown transparent and i made the png transparent, but now it just shows a black background.

it's not an xml edit... you just need to resize the png to fit. it uses a small png and tiles it. so just resize it to 480x800 and you're cool. i've been modding those far a long time.

Ok, so I tried to make a transparent or glass-like slider so that the background could be seen without affecting the tab icons though. The result is that the slider is now shown Black, although it is transparent (as you can see in the images below)!!!
Is it possible to make it somehow? I've from some members that it is not.
However I found icons for the clock and weather that are transparent as you can see (credits go to user antonda).
So what the heck???
hey!
very nice thing you tried to do there,however how did you manage to make the clock and below the clock transparent?I'm, using htc touch 2.If you can give me some tips on PM,it would be great.Thanks.
As I mentioned before all credits for my theme go to antonda and his theme that I'm using can be found here [SKINS]NEW Touchflo 2D 2.0 ONLY(Weather/Flipclock) Skins/Themes, posts 1145 and 1146.

With Jumba's "I C Thru U" app u can have a full clear slide bar.
Alternatively (manually) you can edit "hh_fw_tab_bg_fill.png" file under "windows" folder!
You cant have "Glass" effect (semi-transparency) on M2D slider and let me explaine you why: M2D seems to be capable of reading only png8 files for slide bar, any png that you ll load to it it ll auto-converted to png8 so M2D can read it and you ll get your transparency png as an RGB colored image!
What is png8 file? It's a png at 8bit (256 colors) also known as web-png. Transparency at 8bit (256 colors) is pixelated so it sucks and it hasn't "Glass" effect in any case!
I hope i helped you!
Damn! And I thought we were getting close to find a solution... what I don't like with Jumba's app is that "cut-off" effect that is created when you slide the slider
Any way thank you very much for the info!!

im not really get it! what did u mean with "cut-off" effect? u mean that in "sliding" bar still stays invisible? can u post some screens?
With Jumba's app, as you can see in the first image, the slider image looks fine, but when i slide and go to the location for example, the slider image looks like it is cut-off and moved. It is not aligned with the rest of the background.
And as I understand there is no solution to that!

Aw ok! Thats cause Jumpa's app actually "cuts" a 240x38 part of image and replace it to M2D's slider. Maybe there is a solution for that im on it...
EDIT: I manage to make an Alpha Transparent PNG8 but still M2D denied to read transparent effect...
@ VIRUSPLUS:so,I I understand that with M2D you cannot have transparent slider,but you can with I C Thru(the thing is,I couldn't make it work on my mega).The question is,if it's this alternatively way (to edit hh_fw_tab_bg_fill.png) how can I edit that png file,in order to have a nice and no trouble transparent slider?

You can't have transparent slider in any case.
You can have just a fake "transparency" with I C Thru or by editing "hh_fw_tab_bg_fill.png" just for home tab! What this means and what I C Thru does? Look at image that i attach
aaa..ok ,now I understand.Thank you for clarification
ok, I hope I uploaded the right cab file (I have a little chaos here...). Please backup your files!
I created this theme from two other themes from this site (Jumba Bluesteel and Black Waterdrops (sadly, I can't find it, but I used parts of the slider from there)).
My homescreen is nearly empty, because I want to see my background image. If you have problems with the homesettings.xml please let me know.
If I understand you correctly, this theme should help you with your slider problem.
