Easy way to make your personal taskbar and softkeybar!! - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

Hello everybody
I often read that everybody want to have a personal taskbar and softkeybar.
Now i found a easy way to make this.
1.
At the first step you look for a wallpaper what you want to have and open it in Photoshop or another programm you like to work with.
2.
In second step you create your own taskbar and softkeybar like this in the attached picture.
3.
Now put the taskbar and softkeybar over the wallpaper you want and save it as .PNG or .JPG.
4.
Now create a wallpaper cab with HDwall with transperent top and bottom bar and install your wallpaper at your device.
Thats all.
Sry for my bad englisch but i hope you understand what i mean!!??
Take a look:

"create a wallpaper cab with HDwall with transperent top and bottom bar "

Hi, hope that can help you
First i can give you the tipp look in this Thread:

With this program you can create Wallpaper.cabs This cabs can you install to your device as an HQ Wallpaper.
1. You can create wallpapers that show your normal task and bottombar
2. or you can create wallpapers that fill the complete screen(called transperent wallpapers).
For transperent wallpapers push in HDwall Config--->advanced profile editor---->and check the option WM 6.5 Taskbar and Softkeybar Skinning.

You won't get the actual glass icons, the cab will make the standard frames around the quicklinks transparant. You will need to change all the icons yourself from here,

Would it be possible to design glass ball icons for the taskbar?
That would complete the use of glass ball icons and make it look even better on the whole...

Very nice work, love your design. I'd love your clock design in the roman ring as my large analog clock in Max Manila. Can you put it in attached file or share the png?
PS. do you know how to modify the clock hands in that clock also?
thanks for great sharing.
But I found a little problem. When I slide to "Calendar" in main, the "number" is out of the central big icon. Could you help to solve it?

100% Transparent Home is possible ?

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.
SURESH from Tamilnadu, INDIA.
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.....

Co0kies HT Lockscreen

I was just wondering if the locks in Co0kies HT were customisable like the analogue clocks. The windows lock in particular could look very nice if the icon could be skinned.
Any idea?
The CHT Lockscreenfiles are manila files:
7A4563E2_manila Windows Slider
24B65A89_manila Background Manila Slider
26082591_manila Windows Slider pressed
50F29E37_manila HD mini Slider
61515C17_manila Manila Slider
They can be changed like the analog clock files.
That's great... Now to find someone who can design custom locks, I'm clueless with that stuff .
Ask Dinik. He already made a lockscreen for Windows and in HD mini style.
Dinik is already too busy with too many projects, he gets tons of requests everyday so I doubt he would have time for this.

Actually, any design that you like can be used as the lockscreen slider. I myself have made a bat slider for the Cookie lockscreen. See screenshot below.
Image Hosting
I would like to ask the following :
Tried and replaced the default manila file for slider icon (26082591_manila and 61515c17_manila) with two of dinik slider icons , but I came up with a messed up slider (look at screen shot) ... I assume that the dimentions of dinik icons are different ... any way to fix that ?
Thanks for your answers in advanced !!!
P.S. kangmas ... please link the sun weather icon ... THANKS !
Take the old image in the manila file as a template for the new image. And check the image file in CFC Gui. In "replace" it's the last file as standard. You have to change this. Seems like you took the false image (windows slider and manila slider are different).

Open the old image in your photo editing program (I'm using PaintShop Pro). Then add a new layer for working. In this you have to insert the new images (for example by copy and paste). Then you can adjust the new image over the old. At last delete the layer with the old image and save the file. With CFC Gui you can import the new image in the corresponding manila file. I'll attach the necessary old image files.

Hi mate ... never been good at editing pictures ... I never worked with Paintshop pro or any kin d of software for editing ... so I downloaded it and tried everything in my powers but I really cant get it done. So can you please teach me on how to add layers and replace an image with another ....
If you don`t have time to do this , can you please make me two files for CHT lockscreen ? Thank you in advanced !
Here are the files I need to change :
If you can add the slider background it would be amazing, because when I change the option to Windows default lockscreen in CHT I can`t add the background in any way ... and if I select the Manila style lock I don`t like the slider there.
Thank you very much !

Yeah I think a lot of people are using Anastasia and these locks would fit perfectly. If anyone could skin them to cookies HT that would be great (if dinik doesnt mind of course)

I'll ask Dinik (made it already a little bit modded for myself).
Dinik said, he will make a lockscreen in his CHT theme. We have only to wait some days.
I hope we can get different elements from his theme, I really only want his CHT lock and clock.
Can someone make a skin using the lock from the dusk theme? Also could it be done in different colours?

Looking for wallpaper of programs page in ArtemisROM V50

Hi!
I'm using CHT 2.0 an I'm now looking for the wallpaper of the programs page (pressing windows button) in Artemis-ROM V50. I would like to use the blue gradient wallpaper on all sides of the HTC Sense UI. Unfortunately I think these graphics are not part of the ArtemisGreenBlack theme because they are not in the cab file.
Can someone tell me where I can find the graphics for wallpaper, taskbar and softkeybar as see on the program page in the named theme?
With many thanks.
NM
if it can help .. there should be a CHT option to set the same background in all tabs (otherwise you could use "back ground for all" cab attached), and serarch in these sites a wallpaper of your taste
stock bacgrounds are stored in \my documents\wallpapers (if I rember the WWE folder name..)

Hola, since your using CHT and Artemis, there shouldn´t be any problem...
Besides what jjollyroger already wrote, maybe I don´t understand your question, but if you are refering to the "turqoise" WP, it´s in the ROM, Windows directory and it´s one of the called "stwater" image files (Default_stwater_480_800.gif & Default_stwater_800_480.gif)
Regarding taskbar and softkeybar, this will depend on the theme you´re using.
If you are using Artemis Greeen Black, then the files are the following:
Taskbar: "art_gb_Taskbar.png", "HTCBlack_taskbar.png"
Softkey: "art_gb_SKBackground.png", "art_gb_SKButton.png", "art_gb_SKButtonDisabled.png", "art_gb_SKButtonSelected.png" and also one "xyz_softkeybar.png" depending on the last theme used (probably "classicblue_softkeybar.png").
For both you can also check in the registry to see which files are beeing used:
1. HKCU\software\Microsoft\Today\TaskBar\TaskBarThemeImage
2. HKCU\software\Microsoft\Today\Softkeybar\SoftkeyBarThemeImage

Use HDWALL else in CHTe use the option of "skin taskbar and softbar" and then reset.!!
check this page too...
Thank you for the answer, but I guess neither one thing does not work, it is me that I could use wallpaper 1440x800,
Let use CHT 2.0
mENU -> wallpaper -> taskbar : choose image 480x800 . SR
again so that I know I am not so inexperienced
so that I could do so at 1440x800 wallpaper will not find anything, one time I read that it somehow gave the transcription of some of 32.DLL, Max Sense
never got it to work with 1440. sorry. only worked on the central pane, then was off.
Could someone create a taskbar that would be transparent icons?
I mean it, I do not want no taskbar, and so I would be superimposed wallpaper
I want it to look like the picture
