What about MaxTTM? Been around for ages (on the HD Themes forum), but it's just as good now as the day it was invented, and I continue to use it for all my transparency needs along with current mods like CHT without any issue at all. It's fab honest - give it a go (it looks daunting at first, but becomes second nature and I use it with ease when flashing a new rom about once a week). Once installed - INSTAL TO SD CARD, NOT DEVICE - open it, and select WM6.5 tab at bottom, then check all 3 boxes, TRefresh, Soft Reset and hey presto, transparent taskbar and softkey bar:

I got all excited when i loaded the MaxTTM and done exactly what you said but the bars didnt go transparent ? the top bar went white and the bottom bar went grey? any further help would be gratefull

DONE IT !! please ignor above post, I had another tinker and it worked like a charm, thanks Sb

i have a better solution
I hate to chime in late here, but wisbar advance 4 does what you want with no configuring.
(its in beta right now, but worth a look trust me been using WB for over 4 years now)
OH and to do the changing of the wallpaper I use antworks auto wallpaper changer. not only does it do the wm6.5 wallpaper but the manila, and s2u2, and the lock screen as well. AND you can specify seperate folders for landscape and portrait AND there is a timed wallpaper change option.
TRUST ME
WBA4 - install and your good to go. http://lakeridgesoftware.com/
and antworks wp changer - one click and your wallpaper is changed. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=557248
golden with transparent top and bottom bars. no faxing around with all this and that like you gotta do with the other "fullscreen wallpaper apps"
k enough ranting.

SEE.. im not kidding (no hdwall or maxwhatever)

awesome. downloading now.
Thanks
just flashed. From SDCard Looks amazing. Just starting to test all the applications. zeeshee - respect !
Got it flashed on my device. Icons are looking in-tact. So far no issues. Will post in case of any. Thanks again...
how do i flash my phone with this file?
Well done!
How do I get taskbar like yours (with vista style start menu button) and popping up menu??
The only problems after 1hr of use:
- java emulator is broken (buttons names, alerts) and opera mini doesnt work in full screen
- connection setup is broken but this is sth we use only once a hardreset so can live with it
- input in operamini is limited ?? thats why i posted 2 posts and everything has to be presses twice
- connection manager - any options to have a 6 butt black or any other than we have? - just dont like it.
apart from that - perfect
No, the 6 button black version is made for the original dpi of the Vox, you have to rewrite the whole thing to make it work, but feel free to do so!
@Zeeshee:
Could you please upload you ROM and SYS folder? And is there still a black bar at the bottom of the homescreen like in other versions?? Or is it just the wallpaper? Or is the wallpaper chosen because of this?! Great work!
Hi
Java is fixed.
Connection Setup & Comm Manager.. I think they need to be re-written. But the other Dr. Gonzo Comm Manager is working fine. You can launch it from Home Screen as well from shortcut inside.

Mh there is no option in registry for centering call screens that I am aware of!
java issues solved by installing Cloudyfa_EsmertecJbed onto device memory! works perfect!
i got only one white conn mgr. any other works in 96dpi?
how to get that black bar gone? anyone?
So what is the difference between 96 dpi and normale windows mobile ?

Haha, you dont need the menu's to be in English, it is the selection color for the rhodium menus that changes from green to black
Thanks Burningwheels, I added your fix!
Nice.
How about your top task bar (vista looking) : where and how did you get this !?
I love this, it looks really great!
Is it possible that you could make a complete replacement of all the green colored menus to this black one?
Thanks in advance

Yes that's possible, but I've no time to handle that.
I'm sorry I am a bit lazy, but I don't need it, so why would I spend hours of work for one person?

I'm sorry I was on holiday so I couldn't answer your question. The reason for your problem, is that you probably have another menu installed. It could be the rhodium or the tachi version. I've made a skin for them too: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=535351
Good luck!
Might be worth looking at a post I started back in June
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520663
Alternatively Max TF3d Application lets you change the menus quite easily and conveniently without having to worry about a hard reset. cant find the link but if you search the forum it will turn up
But that's for manila, I made this to work with the menus in windows.
Nevertheless I haven't tried that tool but it sounds good.
I use cfc gui for tf3d sknning, it works very good.
Thanks for you post.

How to make the top and bottom all transparent?

Hi guys, I have tried the MAXTTM to make the top and bottom all transparent, but unsuccessful. I clicked the top curtain and bottom curtain all transparent but nothing changed. Can anyone tell me how to do it?

You will find your cab file on your desktop. It will be named My-wallpaper.cab
Copy to your phone and install then reset.
good tutorial, but personally I don't wanna use HDWalls, as i change my wallpaper daily

use hdwall to make a load of cab files, and use either the hdwall wallpaper selector which you can download from the hdwall thread, or just install which cab file you want when you want.!
Good tutorial!
I'll try that soon, thanks!!
Hi very nice tutorial
but I've followed it
and followed it while setting "skin task and bottom bar" in advanced config
It creates the myWallpaper.cab for all tabs (but the lock screen)
But the Task and bottom are still Black? (or very dark)
I even tried fumbling with the "opacity" slider
but no real luck (not clear how o interpret them)
At best I get a very dark task bar on the home page
Sometime the landscape is best othertimes its the lock page
(I use my unshrunk original for it)
The tutorial and help has been great here
but I do get to create the cab, its just the transparent taskbars
I guess advanced options that I'd really love to see some babysitting in
Thanks
Kenn Lynch
thats not a solution, that is a bad patch.
I want to change like other people the bars from one color to transparent, and dont have to lose my time with 2054 cabs for any wallpaper.

try this cab mate, its pretty easy to use. install the cab, run it, then go to WM6.5 menu at the bottom, choose the option "both" under component then choose "wallpaper" under change method option, then press convert. and your done. when changing your wallpaper again you have to re-do the whole process again though.
excellent
thanks very much
Someone who's already try that cab? Post by '**** Turpin" post #10?

looks like the guy who tried this was trying to change the wrong thing. changing the top/bottom curtain isnt changing the taskbars. also he might not of downloaded the right cab version with the WM6.5 option on the bottom.
Worked fine but messed my lockscreen up, and it seems like maxttm dont work at all when you have Max manila installed (besides removing the taskbars)
After 14 days of searching and trying different caps i still cant remove the bottom curtain.

No you don't haver to redo it everytime you change. You just tick "use standard deployment" and then you can change your wallpaper like you do normally through the settings tab.
Luckily I don't use max manilla!

You need to have BG4all enabled. After that it should work, unless you have Max Manilla interfering.

Animated Wallpaper - Bubbles

I decided to open a page containing a graphic change (as well as future applications) fro our HD2.
Here's the result ...
I've made an animated wallpaper for our HTC HD2. I named it Bubbles. Here are some screenshots and video. More wallpapers to come...
Installation guide:
Run bubbles.cab then bubbles_wall.cab
You must run the installation when running different wallpaper than "circles".
After installing the files choose my wallpaper.

Noob question
Bit ashamed i know but i just cant view it. Installed the cab, it resets but doesnt appear.
Checked today settings, changed personalise home wallpaper, animated etc but then it reverts the album which is just jpegs, im missing something simple...........anyone point me in the right direction so i can see these bubbles
Sorry for bad English.
I dont get it. I've uninstaled bubbles. The wallpaper was old (circles). Then instaled once again bubbles... Reset HD2. And bubbles was there. Are you sure you turn it on well?
You have to:
On home screen tap "memu > home wallpaper > animated wallpaper" And there pick bubbles...

Thats the prob, ive done just that but only the 3 in built ones are there, no bubbles. The cab automatically installs so i know its not the prob, i know sometimes it must be installed to the phone not storage but its automatic so i cant figure out why i cant see it.
My app replace original circle (the orange one). Try to tap on it and wait for effect.
BTW. Which version of ROM you have?
Very nice animated wallpaper. Congratulation.
Hi kojotek,
I have some issues now with your wallpaper. A residu of the "orange" wallpaper shines through the slider bar and there are some weird figures just beyond the clock:
I had this on the 2.07 test rom as well as on the 2.09 rom (as well as on custom roms based on these roms)
(BTW I have cookiemonsters home tab installed)
Sorry about the "lukoj" i will remove that. If the bottom bar is old you have to uninstall it and install again. Then reset device. But wait until evening for cab without "lukoj" logo.

Quick HD Mini Theme

I've posted screenshots twice now (once in the hd mini request and once in my post your today screen topic)
So I quickly put my edited images (ALL THREE OF EM ) into an install-able cab file to change your boring touch flo skin into this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So install, soft reset and enjoy.
WARNING:
Be aware, usual warnings etc etc blah blah blah I take no responsibility in the unlikely event it blows your phone into a million pieces and causes you to cry and/or lose a hand, eye or any other appendage (yes, we've seen you, yes you...when its set to vibrate and you think no one is looking....)
Thanks, I was looking for something like this a while ago. I achieved it by using separate elements, like the hd mini wallpaper set throughout manilla with m2dc, livven simplegloss themes & customizations and a black manilla theme called "[email protected] 2.6 look m2d skin". All of these already available here on xda. Great job, will give this one a try too
yeah, im using the livven simple glass theme with rounded buttons too, all this is, is just 3 images, a transparent topbar, a solid black slider bar and the wallpaper (renamed hh_ff_background.png) in a cab hardcoded to install into the /windows folder.
it only took 2 minutes to make and isnt really a full theme but it looks good. Well, I think so.
To anyone who cannot read:
this is a touchflo theme, just 3 (three,trois, drei, tres) images are in the cab. hh_fw_background, hh_fw_bg_fill and hh_fw_title No other themes were edited.
Uppy, can you post seperately the black slider bar? Could not extract from Cab file.......
Update: not needed anymore, it worked!
Ok
Oh what you got cooking up? a custom theme?
You are the man!!!
Keep up good work
nice theme uppy,i really like it,but why in map search tab...the wallpaper can't change?can u give me wallpaper in map search tab?
I noticed that, I actually couldnt find that image I got fed up after 40 minutes slowly flicking through the Windows Folder.
Made a small adaptation to the theme......black slider and slider bar.....next challenge...make the slide bar transparent.....
uppy..can u give me the file of this theme?

Soft reset is when you press the power button a little longer and message says "do you want to shutdown your device".....push yes. And than push the power button again. Your device boots up. Voila a soft reset.
A soft reset allows the system file (in this case pictures) that is in use to be replaced, it also frees up ram from processes that may still be running from appilcations that have closed.
in short the small button under the stylus= restart?
yeah, thats right
soft reset = restart
hard reset = reformat
uppy not that cab file,i mean in zip file...hurm...that wallpaper...i just want to edit...it
