wallpaper problems

my goal is following:
have one background in all tabs while softkey-bar stays black (if possible just taskbar should be transparent)
i have tried different things:
1. installed hdwall patch and installed a cab from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=629125&highlight=hdwall
the problem is, that just the taskbar and the softkey bar has been changed to the installed wallpaper. the main area at the middle is still the standard background shown on all tabs (grey & black). what am i doing wrong?
i also tried b4all, but there i also have some issues: the wallpaper has a black bar just above the slider. it seems like the wallpaper will not fit correctly!
has anyone a guide how to install a wallpaper on all tabs? clock should stay with solid color (not transparent).
my manilla version is: 2.5.19211 and i have installed the cookie 75 shortcut mod.

today i was able to make a screenshot:
{
"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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
here you can see the mentioned black bar at bottom after installing b4all!
any idea how to fix it?

u can choose:
so first, install HDwall patch and create a wallpaper with the correct profile selected in HDWall. Before u install the wallpaper set the default wallpaper in manila or delete the reg content HKCU/Software/HTC/Manila/AnimatedBackgroundPath
!! Delete only the Content, not the whole String !!
or second, install the right BG4all. Cookie posted the correct version for the different manila versions in the 75quicklinks thread.
PS.: the reg key was the problem in ur first try with HDwall too where the middle part of the wallpaper stayed default black

i just tried what you said, but there is no string value in "AnimatedBackgroundPath". it's empty! I'm using a german rom, but this will not be the problem, isn't it?
i found this at cookies 75 quicklinks thread:
If you have any version of manila except 2.5.19222911, this cab will work for you: BG4all

i installed this but still the same issue.

sorry for pushing my thread, but i'm going nuts with this! if just hdwall OR b4all would make me happy

More Digital (flip) Clocks [New 04/05/2010]

Despite (or in spite of) the completely underwhelming response to my 'glass' clocks (you can find them here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=650245), I have decided to share my latest 'creations' with you guys...
These are basically two variations of the aforementioned 'glass' clocks.
One set is a sort of 'marble' effect. The other a kind of 'tiled' or 'scaled' (as in reptile scales) effect. Anyway, check out the screenshots and make up your own minds what to call them.
Marble...

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
'Tiled'...
I am only attaching a small selection of screenshots this time to save space.
You can install each clock as usual using the cab files attached in the next posts. Uninstalling is done, as usual, via Settings/Remove Programs. If anything in the previous two sentences doesn't make sense to you, you probably should not install these cabs...!
The clocks should work without installing any additional files. However, if you want the transparent look for the rest of the 'furniture' on the Home page, you should probably also install the file named 'JKS_Transparent_Home_Calendar_Alarm.cab'.
The clocks work on Manila 2.5.1920 because that is what I have on my HD2. I think they should also work on 1921 (but I cannot guarantee it) and I haven't got a clue about other versions. I have been told that they also work on CHT, which is an unexpected bonus!
The original wallpapers are not mine. But they are available on this forum from the usual suspects. I cannot remember who posted which wallpaper, so credit goes to all of them...
I made the 'tiled' or 'scaled' wallpapers myself based on something abumhmmd1 did on another post. So thanks go to him for the inspiration.
Glass Icons, slider etc. are from Jaguaralani and Dinik respectively.

[SKIN] CHT-Sliders

I'd like to start a new thread for everyone, who's looking for new Sliders in Co0kie's great Mod.
To keep it neatly arranged please do one Post for each Slider with this formating:
Title of the post Manila Unlock (or Windows Unlock or HDmini Unlock or Retractable) Slider - Name or description of the design
Screenshot
If you got it from a post please make a single-post-Hyperlink with the Author-Name.
Attach a *.cab or *.zip with the Manila files in it
Thanks in advance

Reserved for How-To #1
This post is reserved for a How-To.
Please PM me, if you know what to do, with wich file to change the Sliders.

Reserverd for How-To #2
This post is reserved for a How-To.
Please PM me, if you know what to do, with wich file to change the Sliders.

this is a good idea! with so many CHT mods, there is a need to somehow organized everything and have a thread to gather together similar or related mods. this is one: sliders.
i hope other threads can follow, e.g. for digital clocks, analog clocks, transparencies, etc.
i think all of these can be stickied under one thread: CHT mods or something like that.

Retractable Slider - Super Stealth (100% transparent)
There is no reason for a screenshot, beacause it makes the Retractable Sliders completely transparent.
Thanks to santod040 for the slider from this post.

Manila Unlock Slider and Background - Sense

I hope you like it?
I will do the How-To tomorrow.

This count?

Just a couple of things I worked up for the Stealth Slider in Co0kie's Home Tab.
First is a small HTC logo.
The second you can barely see. It creates an "invisible spot" in the bottom center of the screen (look for a very faint oblong just below the icons). Tap that area and your slider will appear.
I tested these on my Sprint Lovers 2.5 ROM with CHT 1.7.1. Choosing "uninstall" won't restore the original icons.
To activate the Retractable slider in CHT, go to the CHT Editor/Misc. Settings and activate it.

how is the how to coming?? i would really like to learn about this

Any more new designs for retractable slider for CHT, thanks.

Good idea man Thanks

would be nice to see some new designs...

Glass (Flip) Clock Homepage 'Mini-Themes' - New 06/05/2010

At last! The release that no one has been waiting for...
A Homepage 'mini-theme' based on all of my 'glass' ('flip' or digital) clocks.
Each of the attached cabs installs one coloured glass 'mini-theme' to your Today/Homepage. The mini-theme consists of the flip clock and the other 'furniture on the page (i.e. the background for the Weather, the Calendar and the mini-Date/Time bar you see when you scroll down to the quicklinks).
I am only attaching a small selection of screenshots to the first two posts to save space.

You can install each 'mini-theme' as usual using the cab files attached in the next posts. Uninstalling is done, as usual, via Settings/Remove Programs. If anything in the previous two sentences doesn't make sense to you, you probably should not install these cabs...!

The original wallpapers are not mine. But they are available on this forum from the usual suspects. I cannot remember who posted which wallpaper, so credit goes to all of them...

Some more...

Just cabs this time...

More cabs...

If anyone knows how to change the colour of the font on the Today/Homepage from white to black, they might want to try this one.
I wouldn't recommend it otherwise...

Have you been stockpiling these badboys?
I've not seen such a huge release since I last went to the Curry House.
The difference being that on that occasion, I had a bad dose of the squits. Your release was far from that... You my friend are an artist.
Thank you.

Thank you for the glowing praise (and for sharing those Curry House images...).
Yes. I have been saving these up (or too lazy to post them, if you prefer the more honest answer).
I have one more release (No. Not the Curry House variety) to make. Hope to complete the set over the weekend...

Transparent CHT icons matching Laskar V2 transparent theme

Ever since I found Laskar V2 transparent theme, I haven't used any other. Finally I decided to modify the CHT (and some apps) icons to match my favorite theme.

}
Image 2
It doesn't show very well with my wallpaper and in low res but the icons are transparent in the background, and semi-transparent in the black borders. I snatched the design from CHT borders and icons, and used some Metro5 white icons.
I'll post both the icons I made, as well as the templates so you can modify and apply to your own icons, or to the CHT icons I didn't get to make because I don't use.
DOWNLOAD MY ICONS v1.1
PNG Icons inside the Windows folder need to be moved to the Windows folder (over-writes original CHT icons). The rest needs to be set with a program like CSMI.
CHT_no_icon.png is the empty icon. Both xcf files in the Windows folder are the templates for GIMP2 of the CHT icons, I seem to have misplaced the xcf (read as, forgot to save the file) for the app icons templates... Oh well. Just use the CHT_no_icon.png
Links for stuff I use in my phone:
Cookie's Home Tab
Laskar V2 transparent theme
Hero Clock for CHT
B&W Circular Battery icon
WM7 Metro Icons (I snatched some white icons from here)
Custom background by me

Noticed a couple of "bugs". App icons with the inner white border gets too crowded, so I'll be removing it like it was before it looks way better (you can still see the old icon in active sync and RSS in the image I took lol).
CHT icons will retain the inner white border, otherwise they easly get passed by apps, and simply doesn't look as good (the reason I inserted the 2nd border in the first place)
EDIT: Done
