They've managed to remove the top and bottom task bars and make them 100% transparent. I am afraid and don't know how to do it/follow its direction.
This is great and will definitely remove having to install extra programs such as HDWalls.

Personally I don't like transparent bars, they look great on Sense indeed, but ugly in programs where seeing the home background just makes no sense.

For some, others like the OP or me would just like a cab to install with this in it rather than use another mod.

Show me where the list of extra cabs are to only make the clock, calendar / date, top curtain and bottom slider are all listed, the go get HDwall to make the home screen transparent. Its not simple "go here and download HDwall", you have to spend time searching for these extra cabs, then test each one works, and then make cabs for wallpaper.
Was only asking if someone had one cab just to remove the top and bottom bars as it would then only require using bigger wallpapers, not making cabs for each wallpaper.
Well, if you read the thread the OP linked, youll see that this fix requires dumping and unpacking the ROM, making a couple of hex edits, rebuilding the ROM and reflashing it. There's the answer to why it can't be done with a cab.

Don't take it as sarcasm. I was just stating a simple fact.
And the fact that the answer isn't what you wanted to hear doesn't make it sarcasm, I'm sorry to say.
We only wish what you wanted was so easy, but we have tried, and we have failed. And if the answer doesn't please you, what can we do?

I think you mean something like WkTask?
Normally, you can use this and keep the Gfreek taskbar. (Although I prefer to use DJCedric's taskbars, as they are 100% made for Leo..)

Cool! I have never seen this app! Maybe the icons are made with it! When I will be at home I give it a try.

try xtask in dev & hacking.
its much more powerful than wktask, and can do the top left icons
its also 6.5 &6.5.3 compatible, include a position fix for programs which overlap the 6.5.3 taskbar
just take some time to get used to how it works and all the settings options for it.
thanks a lot
many many thanks!!!

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
Just curious. I always see people talking about making or sharing wallpaper cab's, and I am wondering what the advantage is of doing it that way instead of just saving pics to the storage card and setting from there? That''s what I do, but maybe I am missing a better way in these .cabs...

It's called HDwall. By default, the quality of wallpaper in HD2 is low..seems kinda blur. With this cab, it is possible to get higher wallpaper quality. Also u can set the taskbar and softkeybar background (u can make it looks as if transparent).
But that's old time.
With the new CHT 1.8.5 there's no need such application. It has this ability built in.

Because CAB files which contain wallpapers in Manila format can overwrite original manila files.

man...u've done wrong...if u installed cht. no need anything else. that would make it crash. cht got everything. hdwall, bg4all tab. just cookie. np need anything else.
After the HDWall thingy installed via CHT 1.8 - I have an issue.
I do have plenty of sweet backgrounds to chose from. It all works fine with CHT except a feature that I did love very much - the Randomnes.
I have for several years both on Diamond and on HD2 used a .cab named:
Kevin2u Diamond Background Changer v015.
This .cab would pick a random picture from a designated folder every x minute as your liked it. After CHT v1.8 - this ain't working anymore. On CHT v1.7 it worked.
Have any of you guys been able to get a random picture prg. to run on top of CHT v1.8?
If so help me see the light as I really miss the feature that my phone has a new background every now and then when I grab it without manually picking a new picture.
Kindly

So I go to miscellaneous settings and check what under wallpaper Regular, HD Wall or HQ Wall? I have tried them all but only the hd wall setting lets me access the Regular wallpapers not the cab files. Help?
so I have a question. If I installed the latest version of CHT, I already have HD Walls installed? all I have to do now is check HDwall in miscellaneous settings, download the cab for the wallpaper, install, and soft reset? Do I install to the card or device? And one more question, Do I have to uninstall aything to change to another HD wallpaper? Sorry for all the noob questions

Actually you can dl the cab and just run it without anything (Ithink). It's all within the cab. I believe hd wall is the organizer but it never worked for me. Not sure how CHT works in with this.
You don't need to install any cabs with CHT (1.8.5 at least, can't remember about 1.7).
From the home screen tap Menu>>Set Wallpaper. All of the options are there on the next screen (Home Tab, All Tabs, Lockscreen, Taskbar Skinning)
Sometimes the things in front of your eyes are the hardest to find!
Hi guys, I tried the search function as well but can't seem to find a solution to my problem.. Help is much much appreciated!
I'm on the Artimis Rom v25, with cookies 1.8.5, i downloaded the .cab wallpaper, tried to install.. didnt work, i downloaded the wallpaper fix download, Didnt work so i gave up... so i tried to go back to cookies editor to change my wallpaper back to the one i had, and it didnt work. I have a totally back wallpaper and can't seem to change it in anyway!
HelPPP i'm losing it!!......

That's correct. If you really want the wallpapers that are in the cabs, I believe you can open the cab files on your pc and extract them manually. Don't quote me on that but it would seem logical. Or you could ask the OP of any walls you like to point you in the direction of the source.

There is a way, but I can't for the life of me find the thread for it. They are just simple .cabs, I had looooads but I deleted them after installing Windows 6.5.x as I didn't need to use them. I'll keep searching and hopefully someone will link you to a thread in the meanwhile!

Hello Everyone!
Hi guys 'n' girls.
Thanks Kalavere for pointing me to this thread
Was getting a little frosty in my other thread..
I'm looking for a few things for 6.5...
1) A collection of start icon's (only the icon, no text). Also a separate remove text cab would be nice as I've seen a few others that would give a limb for one...
2) I've not yet seen any of these yet but I'm after a collection of animated load icons (you know, the win icon that spins)
3)A collection of stand alone volume skins. Have seen a couple of these but they always seem to incorporate something else (not that I'm picky lol)
I'm mainly looking for Dusk and Anastasia themed items but i would love to see what else is out there!
Thank you in advance for any help!
Any hints to threads would be greatly appreciated!
Ps. @ Kalavere, I love your profile pic! I'm big in to Gas masks my self, had to mention!

Thanks a lot. Tried but no help. The taskbar I use is from anastasia. However the Start icon change in itself is not possible.
Also the "Start" text written on the top cannot be removed. Is there a way for it really.
It will eb a very nice idea to make a collection of
Volume icons
SMS icons
Battery icons
Start icons
and customization of start text.
Anyone upto it?

You can definitely, definitely change just the icon alone. I just can't find the damned things!

I've found an answer to that, thanks to dafunk2.
TO ALL OF YOU THAT WANT ONLY THE CUSTOM WAIT CURSOR:
No guys, there is no way to make a cab for only the custom wait cursor.
This is because the custom wait cursor graphics are into the file shellres.192.dll. Into this file reside also many of the taskbar icons and other miscellaneous graphics. If I make a cab with only the file shellres.192.dll and you install it, you will have my wait cursor, but you will have many of my taskbar icons as well. It's good if you use my taskbar (but if you use my taskbar you already have my cursor ), but if you use another taskbar....you can easily understand what can happen.
So this is why there's no way to make a cab that installs only the cursor.
I'm thinking about to make some colors variations of the cursor, but I think that I will make them for cookers (and who knows how to edit dlls) and I will post the 32bit bitmaps in the Windows Mobile Themes section.
I'm sorry.....but I'm explaining why this is impossible
Anyway, many thanks for the great interest for my custom wait cursor

Did you install sdkcerts before installing the taskbar? Something in shellres.192.dll is causing the problem. Can you slide over to your setting tab? if so hit menu, all settings, system, then remove programs to uninstall. Or set up one of your quicklinks to access file explorer, navigate to the cab, click on it as if your were going to reinstall and let it uninstall previous version then softreset and see if it fixes everything..
Yes I installed that first as it instructed. I was finally able to get into my applications and removed it and everything seems to be back to normal. I would really like to install new themes, etc. any idea of a good place to get the downloads from (seeing how my first try didnt work)? Thanks!
^^^ You´re at the best possible place.
But, you need to know a little bit what you´re doing.
A taskbar must fit your WinMo version, plus, as the previous tip said, the certification must be there.
Most tweaks and mods are made for specific versions, like any other software for any other operating system.
Once you´re familiar with those things, you can pimp as much as you want.

I´m not really an expert, either... just a user like you. All I made is some graphics for clocks because I like them in real life, too...
As a beginner, I would start to look a little to what others do. This thread here is great to start: Klick! Maybe just start with the last pages, where you´ll see the latest tweaks and mods. Sometimes people write where they got what they use, sometimes you can ask.
One of the greatest tools to change the layout and the functionality of Sense (that´s the basic user interface of an HD2 using Windows Mobile 6.5) is CHT (short for coOkiemonster´s Home Tab): Klick!
Add some graphic mods and tweaks, and there you go. Some examples:
[6THEMES]Nordpolcampers Tranquility Theme Cabs up! + many more Themes
[THEME] WP7 UI and WM SKINS [UPDATED 26/5/11]
[ Theme.Windroid - The Final ]******** HTC SENSE 3.0*******
Please carefully read in each thread what the author says about instructions.
Last, but not least, there is much more to discover (as in if you like clocks, too, follow the link in my signature for some examples, those clocks are made to be used with CHT).
Enjoy your great device, have fun with personalizing!
