blank manila slider ?

Hey guys,
i just wanted to know if there is a cab that hides the manila slider at the bottom of the homescreen. i already have a transparent background for that bar, but i want the icons to not to be visible.
can anyone help me?
thanks in advanced!

Then edit a manila slider .cab with png files which are empty.
Use manila editor to explore an unzipped .cab and edit the images with the grafix editor of your choice. Leave the icons alpha blending blank and you have what you want I guess. Pack the files again to .cab with IZArc (including the .xml and stuff of course), move and apply. Try it. Not sure if it works.

Why would he want to go through all that if he could just load a program like Cookies Home Tab or MaxManila that would give the option to drop the slider into a hide button plus several other options.

Dunno. Maybe he wants to slide it but without icons. Just to have a dimmed screen with labels.

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.

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?

Manila Slider and background
Can someone please make a cab for me? I can't handle the editing of the manila files...

Multumesc, si eu cautam de ceva vreme un .cab pentur 100% transparenta.
Thanks, i've been searchng for a 100% transparent .cab

Anyone who has a cab that would make the softkeys bar 100% Transparent on Duttys CDLC v15? Poyensa cab didn't work

100% or 0%?
is this to make the keys 100% transparent i.e. not see through, or 0% transparent, i.e. completely see through?

hmmm, tricky..... have u tried either of the cabs on post 7 of the following thread? http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6967867 worth a try anyway. there is also a Cab on a later past on the same thread for the same thing.

CHT 1.8.5 has this option to re-skin the bars, so it appears transparent. no need to install extra cab files to achieve the same thing.

Agreed. CHT is the future. esp on 1.8.5, so easy to change all the backgrounds and skin the top and bottom bar.

Hi, from the home screen, press Menu, Set Wallpaper, then you can skin the task bar and softkeybar at the bottom, it will ask to do a hard reset, reset and fully skinned taskbar and softkeybar.
good luck

Try the Metro Theme XAP from Nickg and go to Custom settings and select system tray. You can also change the background, tiles and text colors with preset themes or completely customize the colors with the app too.
