Question/Request- Is there any way to make the CHT Home music player transparent? - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

After several weeks of experimenting and researching, I finally got my HD2 running smooth and looking even smoother. My only gripe is that the home tab music player in CHT is transparent black, unlike the rest of the tabs/bars. Is there any mod or tweak I can use to do this? If not, I would definitely like to request this option in the next version of CHT.
Thanks in advance for any help!

perhaps posting this question in the original cookie home tab thread would have been a better move? nice name, btw.. mainly the reason i wanted to post in this "thread"

HA! This is definitely a first.
Great suggestion, I'll do that now. If anyone knows another way to get this done, please help me out!

Check out this post. I'm using the 50% transparent and it works nice here

Thanks for the tip, but I found what I was looking for here...

Scroll to the bottom of the page, and you'll find a .cab file for the glass music player. Works perfectly!

[Q] Changing TF3D landscape shortcuts

First off I want to thank everyone here at XDA for all the hard work and effort you put into tweaking these great devices.
Now, on to my question, I've searched here and the diamond forum and I can't find any mention of a way to change the shortcut buttons on the landscape TF3D screen. I would really like to be able to customize that screen with shortcuts to applications I actually use. There must be a way to do this, has anyone got an idea?
First post , please go easy on my noobness.
Searchipoos......
Post #9 on first page, bottom ish of second page for a bit extra
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426328&page=2
Thanks Ouza but I saw that post and it's not what I'm looking for. This only deals with changing the two softkeys at the bottom of the landscape screen (which is nice in itself).
I'm wanting to change the 6 big shortcut ''buttons'' above that.
Basically I'd like to make the landscape screen the same idea as the programs tab in TF3D or something like it.
Any ideas... anyone??
I would seriously like to change the big shortcuts as well.I have a dock in my car using the video out. Video out forces Landscape mode. When I hop in my car, I dont want to take notes or check tasks, I want GPS, internet radio, Live Search...
I will dig deep into the registry and let you know what I find.
I want the same thing !!
Video out in the car, so I want to be able to start my Navigation from the landscape-menu.
Jochen
Change Landscape Menu
For the TV out menu that pops on screen after you plug in the video out cable, you can change the shortcuts in the registry.
HKLM\Software\HTC\TVOutPopUp\
There are four links in there, you can change them to any app installed on your phone. Only problem im having is changing the icons.
I have to bump this thread. There must be a customizer out there for the lanscape shortcuts! I just may go back to HTC Home if there is no way to put shortcuts in landscape!
I doubt this is exactly what you're looking for, but herg62123 is working on adding landscape tf3d to his project. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=447056
Not quite,
I have my TP docked in landscape in the car and I would like to open apps like NAV, or Picture Dial, or Kinoma Play in landscape.

I don't think there is going to be any easy way to customize those shortcuts. I'm pretty sure the landscape shortcuts are hard-coded in one of the binary manila files.
That sucks!
Well I guess HTC Home will do for now.
You could change the softkeys to point to two of the apps you want to run. Not the perfect solution but it's better than nothing...
I guess....
Maybe I can use 2nd today and set a button to it with AEbutton and have HTC HOME for landscape and TF3D for portrait.
Thoughts?

Sounds like a good solution. I haven't used either product but from what I've read on here that should work. good luck!
Glad to see this topic getting some attention finally
For anyone interested, try out this theme with a slimmed down version of tf3d in landscape. It may suit what you're wanting more.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=458036&highlight=landscape
Frankly, though, I didn't like it, and preferred to go back to my old theme. My main goal was having a landscape screen with a handful of a few apps I'm most likely to use, but in this theme you still have to scroll through your entire list of apps installed so, it really wasn't any kind of shortcut.
I'll keep sorting through all the manila files for a solution. Anyone with any reference docs or anything on creating themes or customizing tf3d would help as I've never dealt with it until now.

I've been searching around and noticed that indeed themes do change the "landschape shortcuts" but there doesn't seem to be a "general" program that's able to change them. I'm a little confused, because some reactions state it isn't possible to change these "shortcuts", saying they are hardcoded. Does this mean they're rooted so deep in the code that it's very hard to change them? Anyway I keep following this thread and hopefully some come up with a solution... Keep it up!

[Q] About the dark grey background

Hello people!
I hope this question (and the answer that comes with) has not been ask before, and I promise i have search before posting
The thing is when I am holding one of the icons on the sliders and scroll with it, I get that dark grey background that doesn't looks very gorgeous
Can someone suggest any cab or reg tweaks to get rid of that ?
Thanks mates
No one knows about that ?!
Well ... Hope this is not a too silly question
This is the last visual tweak that is missing for me So please !!
Promise I'll be a good boy
I am using HD wall and few tweak like transparent clock, calendar, slider. Just to let you know
Follow my signature, try the second entry on the first post, "TF3D 2.5 Screen Fade".
Thanks man It works great!
I will I have a deeper look at this post wich is full of goodies

I would like to add on the upper left those icons (and of course the related links) I found somewhere in the forum on a screenshot... is it possible doing this without deleting "V6 Test 1 Brians Taskbar- gfreek edition" icons on the upper right? Gfreek is not included on this screenshot but I have it on my Leo...and I love it!

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..)

sorry for the missed upload but I am travelling and posting with a 3g connection... a lot of issues...
I crashed my browser when I was surfing xda and frankly I don't remember which thread, that's the problem!!
Anyway the thread was not related to those icons but to something else... I took the screenshot before all crashed...

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!!!
I suppose I must start surfing also that part of the forum!!

CHT 1.8 Manila File Names & Transparent Files attached

Hello,
I wonder if anyone is able to/wants to help me?
I am looking for confirmation of the manila file names for CHT 1.8... (I have been browsing the forum but can only find cabs and not the file names for this)
I have been looking through the files by using cfc-gui but I can’t confidently identify the right files!!
I just want to personalise my own files, initially to achieve a transparent home screen, but ongoing to something else.
The clock files are identified on the CHT thread, but not the bars/panels.
I think I have identified the following files (for not-pressed bars), but on modifying them and loading them onto the phone (in the Windows folder, and then restarting manila, and also soft resetting) they don’t all seem to change as I expected.
These ones do work:
0B7F6995_manila = appointment expand/pull-down grip
30D807DA_manila = thin bar with rounded corners to ‘finish’ lower appointment
0d61c97c_manila = date bar
740dc76b_manila = alarm bar
These ones don’t work:
43A0289_manila = appointment list bar
77BAF4F0_manila = notifications full bar
(if these aren’t what I think they are, then what have I changed by modding these files??!!)
I can see from various mods on this forum that people are able to change the files I want to work with, so I must just be playing with the wrong files.
Any help would be good, and it’ll save me time by further searching many pages of the forum and struggling to identify the files in the Windows folder (which is proving very difficult it seems).
Thank you.
it would be good if there was a manila library on here somewhere - cfc-gui is a really good tool, but it's just not doing a proper job for me on this occasion!!!
PS: I have current version 1.66 standard UK ROM on HD2, non-network specific. My CHT 1.8 is working fine, no issues, I just want to mod it a bit!
Agree with the above would be good if there was a list available as took me ages just to find the default cover art for music and couldn't find the mini music player background. I'm using cfc-gui as well and there's as many/if not more files under unknown as there are with headers which makes it really difficult. I've just been going through them 1 by 1 and I'm going to try edit a few on the weekend so will let you know what I find.
Cheers - any help on this would be appreciated. There are loads of mods for this already, but not many sharing info!!
I'll keep on looking...
In the meantime, if anyone else can assist - much appreciated it will be!
If anyone is interested, I found what I was looking for:
10376502_manila = notifications bar
438A0283_manila = appointments bar
I've attached all of these files as transparent in the .zip below. The only one that isn't fully transparent is the pull-down grip which I have added little grip dots to it so you know where it is, otherwise transparent.
** Back-up original files from the Windows folder before overwriting! **
the clock white background remains white, Any updates of others ?
nice work, i liked it, when ever I flash a new rom I was installing transparencies.. not anymore...
I hope you keep up with this threat...
can you show a picture of this please!!
many people will be much help if you put screenshot..if you ask someone's help try to help someone also and someone will apreciate yours

why dont you share these info with them ...
Is something being requested in the posts above?
I can't quite work out what it is - is it a transparent clock? - if so, which sort?
Aren't there plenty of clocks for CHT on XDA already, do they not work?

Depending on which files you edited..... you might be able to get them back by installing/uninstalling/reinstalling CHT..... maybe.....
Which particular files do you need...??
if by chance I have them backed up Ill post them for you... I dont have that many though....
There is a link in the FAQ section of the CHT thread's main post from Co0kie, for transparencies and some graphics restore cabs.
That should help answer some of your questions.
If you have any other questions still after looking at those cabs and files, let me know.
You can go directly to that thread to the first post where the link is, by clicking the CHT banner in my sig., or clicking the link above will take you there directly.
thanks for the responce guys! i'm actually not sure what manilla files they are lol, i just know there the ones which make the calendar and call history transparent. i've tried re-installing CHT but transparency is still there, it wasnt a cab see. i overwritten the original files with zip file on page one. but would like the glass panel look which dinik created. installing dinik theme the transparent calendar/call history is still there. someone who backed up the manila files before installing that zip file could help... were are they!! lol

I have attached the original files that you highlighted a couple of posts above...
in the zip file are the original files if you want to drop them in manually, or a cab file for if you want to do it the easy way - all it does is place the two manila files in the windows folder, and it's not going to appear in the applications list either (you can't 'uninstall it'), its a one-way cab.
Thanks for all your help guys but looks like its not to be. they were the right manila files but after getting rid of the transparency`s and installing diniks theme everything has the glass panels but calender/call history. maybe the rom i`m using is affecting the theme (cleanex rom). but again thanks for your help guys.

[WALLPAPER][Co0kieMonster] Post your Co0kieMonster Tribute Wallpapers here

I thought it would be nice to honour and recognise the massive contribution from Co0kieMonster and John (CHTE) by starting a post specifically for Wallpapers and perhaps Themes to come.
This is separate from the amazing 'Post Your Leo Today Screen', since this will aid people looking specifically for Co0kieMonster Images.
If Moderators wish to merge with the 'Post Your Leo Today Screen' started by djcedric that will be no problem.
So Co0kie, thank you for your awesome contribution for WM and specifically for the Leo which would be pretty lacklustre if not for you.
Hope you like the first dedication from me!
Looking forward to seeing other contributions in honour of Co0kie.

I started the 'Co0kie Wallpaper Thread' specifically for WallPapers that identify with Co0kie rather than posts of Today Screens captured from the device.
I see I broke that train of thought myself with a recent post
Anyway, I still believe this post should remain to largely encourage anyone who wishes to design a Co0kie specific Wallpaper that can be used on devices using CHT.
