Hi,
I've been searching a bit for a white taskbar with black icons to match my Sense UI theme (preferably standard icons), but I can't seem to find it. I only find taskbars with all sorts of funky colors and strange looking icons that burst out with many colors.
Are there anyone who's a little better than me at searching who can find a way to get this, cause I simply just can't figure out how to get it.
I'm using the WM version where the start button is in the top left corner (not at the bottom which I've seen many people have). If that matters ^^
/*bump*/
A transparent taskbar would work as well if anyone knows about such a feature.
Found something similar to what I was looking for

No idea if it'll work, but at least it's a step on the way
I have the same thread question. But I basically want a WHITE top/bottom taskbar instead of Black. But that would mean, the white text would require to be black now.
Anyone know how I can get this? I've seen it done on "android" wanna-be skins. How do they do it?

Not sure. You could try asking the guy who made the thread I linked to.

To get the black text, install ovi's Colorpatch from here:

I read on another post to get the glossy black theme, by changing this string.
Code:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Color\BaseHue=dword:0 default b0d57b in the MB rom.
my problem is that only change the top and bottom bar to black.. I also want to know if anyone knows the string to change the side bars and start drop menu to black or clear cause I use pocketbreeze and ilancher. thank you for input.
even if you change it through the registry, its gonna go back if you change the wallpaper or anything. Right now im working on a permanent black theme but havent been able to have any success.
I think it has something to do with the shell32.exe that I cannot modify with reshacker or Resource editor.
Anyone got any ideas?
Searching for black.
yeah after I use the registry string, the top and bottom bars of wm6 works as black and glossy but the side bars...and inbetween lines when you have other programs installed such as pocketbreeze and ilauncher the lines are still blue from the theme that comes with MB rom is there anyone to have them clear so it looks more tidy? or trying to get rid of that colour to black. As for pocket breeze if anyone wants to remove the lines in the tabs...you have to edit the skin.ini file.
Try This?

This theme, cyclic_blackbars.tsk has very black, shiny bars.
I don't know how it does it, because when I look at the menubar color setting in SKTools it says 137, but if you have any other theme up and you plug in 137 in the menubar color setting, you don't get this shiny black.
Maybe you can take the theme apart and figure more out from it.

I have not been able to duplicate shiny black with BaseHueExpress, nor have I been able to create a turquoise with it that really matches the Crossbow theme color.

I think this theme may have come from one of Molski's packages, so it may be in that Molski theme pack, but just the one I like, that has the shiny black bars, cool black-to-white shading on menu dropdowns and on popups, and a cool black,blue and gray wallpaper is below:
just make your basehue value to anything between 160 and 175 and u'll have shiny black bars, change wallpapers all you want after that, it'll remain shiny black. The problem is most theme generators dont let u assign values higher that 80 in greyscale for basehue...
There are a bunch of themes that have black start menus, black scroll bars though i havent seen yet, ill try that when i get home and see how it looks. If it looks ok ill post the theme but, again to get the top and bottom bars black ull have to change the basehue in the registry as the program i use to make themes wont let me assign a value higher than 80 for greyscale basehue.

I used basehue and than just took a picture with my lens covered and use it as background. Looks good, I'm sure there is a more high tech way to do it but this seemed to work fine.
thanks for share

Hallo, I have a question. Under the titlebar and above the bar with the calendar and the contacts in wm6 is a small gray line. Is there any way to remove it or to change the color?

Welcome to the forum
I used to have a bar similar to yours but in the upper part of the screen, and later I understood that was a very nice and dicreet battery meter, I´m not sure if in your case could be the same. If not try to reflas the ROM if it´s very anoying for you, otherwise I don´t think it´s a big problem...
I invite you to READ the Wiki.
Hope it helps and good luck,
lol.. that's amazing. i have been plowing my polaris for almost a year now and not once did i notice this bar. you must have very sharp eyes.
I don't remember seeing an option to change this bar in any of the color customizing applications i've stumbled into. you can use a different shell tho.. if you want to get rid of it.. like Wisbar Desktop Advance..
i might be wrong (it happens to us all haha) but this can be changed with UI tweaker (edit)? or do as Nir says and just change the theme
I already tested UI Tweaker, but there is no option to change this line. I thought this lines are the plugin seperators, but that was wrong.
Whit Wisbar Advanced this lines are black. That all I want, but with wisbar there are to many other changes I don´t like.
unfortunately i have no idea how you can change that.. as i tried UI Tweaker myself to see if it's possible and didn't manage.
RC Mod doesn't work either..
mmmm, if the lines really do your head in, change the colour of the top bar itself personally i use black (hence no lines) but i had to change the theme first.
I'm using the classicblack theme and i still have that bar.
my screen shot. I dont have the lines?
Is possible transform statusbar_background in trasparency?? Sorri for my English!!!
Not by just making the png transparent... I tried that but it turned the statusbar all black
Not without framework modifications because the way it is currently implemented means that the client (app) currently running doesn't draw below the status bar.
So, even if you make it transparent somehow there is nothing below it.
so is there any oportunity to modify framework in this way?
i realy would like to have transparent status bar
ive always thought that the notification bar should be taken away
This subject is discussed at length in the Themes section of the forum.

reading is fundamental, also guess what this forum has handy little search feature located at the top right corner!!!
had to get rid of the evil post count lol
Nope. at least it hasnt been done yet... mebbe someday
You know, I've always wanted to know if there are any changes anyone has made to that aspect of the framework... I would love a thinner bar at the top.
mine was transparent on the HERO rom that i had, i forgot which rom it was, i think it was jac 7.6.something.. it was kind transparent but it was tinted black with darker checker boards. i'm talkign about the notification bar when you scroll it down that whole page
They are talking about making the status bar transparent, and it hasnt been done because it causes errors, or at the very least, it just returns as a solid color. There is a thread discussing the problems with this and the launcher background being transparent. And as much as you dont want to sift through all those posts, what makes you think I want to find it for you? Dont be so lazy.
i thought it was easily done, the only problem being that the wallpaper stops at the status bar, hence it being all black. or am i mistaken?

I believe I tried it once, and it was all black. There is nothing underneath it but black screen. You are not mistaken.
I have installed Sprint Lovers ROM CE OS 5.2.28232 (Build 28232.5.3.3) on my Sprint TP2.
In this ROM, the softkeys in the bottom menubar are all round. However, I have seen screen shots of many other wm6.5.3 custom ROMs that have the more elegant round version of menubar's softkeys. Compare the menubars in my two screen shots to see what I mean.
Does anyone know how to change the menubar softkeys to the round versions? If anyone knows of any ROM that has this added features for Sprint TP2, please let me know.
Thanks for your help.
check the thread you started @ ppcgeeks, you have some answers there.
For those interested, someone replied to my post in PPCGeeks. All you have to do is change the theme from HTC Black to Classic Blue or others in the settings.
Here is another request for everyone. Does anyone know of a CAB for a theme that preserves the HTC Black them but uses the round buttons instead of the squared ones? I don't like the blue, red, purple, orange, or green highlighting that I get from these other themes. I rather have the gray highlighting of HTC Black theme, but I want to get the round buttons instead of the squared ones. Does anyone know of a way doing this?
i'm just about losing it here and i'm willing to look into any sorta input i get...
i've trying to skin a qvga theme for 6.5.5 (build 23569) to get the background in black and the text in white, sort of the opposite of what the current look is in WinMo...
i've searched all over xda and a ton on other pda sites but i kept drawing blanks and heading into dead-ends...
i just need to know how to get an effect similar to what is achieved here or here
but instead of a gray shade or partial blackened areas, i'd like it all to be a solid black color with white text...
the only option that i can see left for me is to build up a theme from scratch but despite of the tiny few tutorials posted here, the all crucial part regarding the background color is still shockingly missing...
so...anyone??
