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 problems here
any registry edit to resolved this problem?
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
Using Energy Rom 21895 WM6.5.5
I posted a TIP thread a few months back... hope it helps

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?

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

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.

Wow! This theme would look awesome when finished!
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

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

Buuf slider
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?
This is a set of customized icon for CHT. This set contain icon for toggle, notification, miscellaneous, and page indicator also.
The toggle has Orb indicator like in this picture below.
I modified free icons form net to make it consistent between icon.
Install :
Extract the zip below and copy it to \windows folder and restart sense
Or install the cab and restart sense (thanx to malhznoi for making the cab)
Edit 24/6/2010: added the dark blue version (darker orb too) as requested (first time making cab). Please tell me if the cab is not working.
Edit 29/6/2010: added gloss version with white frame
Enjoy, and hope you like it!

new toggles. How?
Does anybody know how to create new toggles for CHT? There is this little switch for turning on/off the auto-backlight feature. I like this switch on my hometab as a CHT toggle. Is that possible?
Top and Bottom task bar
Hi there,
Could you please tell me where you got yout top and bottom task bar icons from?
I have been searching for the exact sme for weeks and can't find anything.
If you can post a link or the cabs that would be great. By the look of the start icon, I assume it is WM 6.5 compatible?
Thanks heaps.
Great work!
These are brill, i couldnt believe they changed all my toggles into wonderful glossy blue to go with my blue theme, just what i needed. THANK YOU!!
What icons have you used for the top task bar?
They look fantastic and I would like to use them. Thanks.

I think that's not possible for now, since CHT doesn't provide such toggle for the auto backlight yet..

How to write under the quick link icon, the name of the shortcut. Somewhere I saw that but I unfortunately forgot where, and ask for days. Thank you in advance, and yes i use HD2 with stock rom (wwe) and CHT 1.8.5
This thing was inspired by newone757 (Layout thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=781455) and and his beautiful looking icons and idea. I ended up modifying the elegant steel theme as some of it meshed well with this concept and added some spiffed up the transition animations. This is in it's early stage and needs to be cleaned up some but i'm throwin it out there so hopefully I can get some feed back.

Good app to have for this is Colors and the Author is Tim Clark, you can find it on the market. It basically lets you choose from a variety of solid color wallpapers.
The animations have a little more pop to them if you set the transition speed to slow in spare parts.

Except for the settings menu icons, they're a little bigg, imo
I've been planning to theme the AOSP dialer but I think I may not need to now. I love the minimal look on that one
Updated a few thing to make it look a lot better see first post for changelog. I also found that this theme runs smooth on 09/15 but not so much when I flash snap kernal 7.6. I am running it perfeclty on 9/14's nightly with snap turbo though.
Wow.. Once I saw the first swipe at this "7" concept, I knew there would be more goodies to follow... Since Elegant Steel is a pretty much grey/black/white theme, i'm seeing a version of this which has all of the large elements to it and page titles, but only in a gradient theme with no color.
Hopefully one of the launcher developers adds this functionality to ADW or LP in a more automated process, as its still somewhat of a hack to get the finished look.
Great work..

Is Snap simply not working on the nightly's past 9/14 then? I believe Spicytuna or Shift said in the Snap thread that the kernel size changed in the stock kernel after that, so that may be the reason.
I'm loving the theme. Is there a way to speed up the market cause search results take forever to pop up also, is there a way to fix the lay over on the search bar? Apart from these issues, wonderful job to all the people who made this possible.
