Sorry old bean, but you're wrong.
There's a cab to make the icons transparent, but not the text.

Assuming of course that you have already done a thorough search of the forum and have found nothing suitable, the man to ask is AntonioMistretta in his 'Transaparent (sic) Clock and slider and more!' thread under 'HD2 Themes and Applications'.
If a cab exists, he almost certainly knows about it and if it doesn't, then he might just be nice enough to make one for you...!
Addendum:
But PLEASE do search his thread first. He get an awful amount of people asking him for stuff he's already provided!

Use the search it's the first, but i've used it and it take a will, so...
Try this: dega's transparent quicklink text box.cab

Remove Homescreen Clock

I apologize for my noobness, but I've browsed the forum with no answer nor cab, so I turn to you guys in hope of helping me out, I just want the thing gone, takes up to much room and I really don't need it...
Thanks

Search for "Cookiemonsters Home Tab". One of the benefits of this great mod is the function you are asking for: You can actually completely remove the clock from the home tab.
A simple solution would be to just swipe the clock away, this leaves just a basic digital clock.

Another solution is to install "antonio no clock".

The easiest way I know of to remove things from the homescreen is by Cookies Home Tabs and CHTEditor. If you use those, pressing Menu at the bottom and selecting Edit Home Layout will allow you to remove whatever you wish by simply a press & hold.

hi, ive searched but cannot find any cab files that contain decent taskbar (upper and lower) for the home screen. i see loads of screendumps where people have neat icons but i cant find any cabs, any ideas ?? thanks

I cant seem to find any either, i think most of them come with Roms, but cabs for some of these would be great

check out DINIKs ... I likey that one!

do a search for
Task bar by Artieq.
Dinick's Anistasia task bar
or just try 6.5 task bar, or and variation of.

Look for "Devotion", Brian´s taskbar, this forum is FULL of diff. taskbars
just use the search funtion in upper right corner and take Your time.
Everything is free here and desigend by real artists but at least You have to invest SOME time to search and READ (!!!!) the entire threads if the different cabs are applicable to Your specific ROM and WinMo-version !!!
This forum is the biggest supermarket for apps and mods but as with big supermarkets with overwhelming choice it needs time to find the specific item You are looking for

There is a way, but I can't for the life of me find the thread for it. They are just simple .cabs, I had looooads but I deleted them after installing Windows 6.5.x as I didn't need to use them. I'll keep searching and hopefully someone will link you to a thread in the meanwhile!

Okay here is one... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584531
*Edit* This one is just a taskbar, but check it out regardless. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=642832
I've been searching for about 40 mins or so and I still can't find the ones I had on my hard drive, God knows where they are hiding. 0_o

Hello Everyone!
Hi guys 'n' girls.
Thanks Kalavere for pointing me to this thread
Was getting a little frosty in my other thread..
I'm looking for a few things for 6.5...
1) A collection of start icon's (only the icon, no text). Also a separate remove text cab would be nice as I've seen a few others that would give a limb for one...
2) I've not yet seen any of these yet but I'm after a collection of animated load icons (you know, the win icon that spins)
3)A collection of stand alone volume skins. Have seen a couple of these but they always seem to incorporate something else (not that I'm picky lol)
I'm mainly looking for Dusk and Anastasia themed items but i would love to see what else is out there!
Thank you in advance for any help!
Any hints to threads would be greatly appreciated!
Ps. @ Kalavere, I love your profile pic! I'm big in to Gas masks my self, had to mention!

Thanks a lot. Tried but no help. The taskbar I use is from anastasia. However the Start icon change in itself is not possible.
Also the "Start" text written on the top cannot be removed. Is there a way for it really.
It will eb a very nice idea to make a collection of
Volume icons
SMS icons
Battery icons
Start icons
and customization of start text.
Anyone upto it?

You can definitely, definitely change just the icon alone. I just can't find the damned things!
*Edit* This is how to do it manually, there are some cabs floating about though...

I've found an answer to that, thanks to dafunk2.
TO ALL OF YOU THAT WANT ONLY THE CUSTOM WAIT CURSOR:
No guys, there is no way to make a cab for only the custom wait cursor.
This is because the custom wait cursor graphics are into the file shellres.192.dll. Into this file reside also many of the taskbar icons and other miscellaneous graphics. If I make a cab with only the file shellres.192.dll and you install it, you will have my wait cursor, but you will have many of my taskbar icons as well. It's good if you use my taskbar (but if you use my taskbar you already have my cursor ), but if you use another taskbar....you can easily understand what can happen.
So this is why there's no way to make a cab that installs only the cursor.
I'm thinking about to make some colors variations of the cursor, but I think that I will make them for cookers (and who knows how to edit dlls) and I will post the 32bit bitmaps in the Windows Mobile Themes section.
I'm sorry.....but I'm explaining why this is impossible
Anyway, many thanks for the great interest for my custom wait cursor

I am not sure I understand your question. Do you want to reskin them?

On Home screen
go to Menu -> CHT Editor -> SoftKey-> Switch off - Enable CHT Soft Keys -> Menu -> Apply Changes -> Home
restart sense

i think he wants to assign programs to the softkeys
with this release, only 3 are possible.
ask in the CHT or CHTE thread, if they could make more possible in next release

I am not sure I understand your question. 我不明白你说的什么

nobody understands your question, but I want to ask the same.
How to change the built in icons of the soft keys?
There is no mention of it in the manual.
I dont want to change the functionality, I dont want to reassign the programs or commands, I just want to change the built-in icons for custom ones.
thank you in advance

Ahh This is actually quite simple. Copy the cht_softkey files from your windows folder into your computer. Use these as templates when creating your new softkey icons. Then simply place them back into the windows folder and reset.

It's bad practice to spam threads for each specific question, when a CHT2 thread already exists.
Furthermore, this question has been already answered and if you had bothered to search you would have known that.
Finally, the name of the thread is very general and therefore is useless for anyone trying to look for information.
I would suggest to the mods to close it or to move it to the CHT thread.

dont worry I didnt try to use any search tool. if I didnt, I wouldnt land in this post
and I agree, thanks to miller710 the mods can lock this thread but not to move it or any, because google leads here.
the CHT thread is too complex, too huge and even when you try to google "cookie's home tab" that thread is not between the results.

Remember to take backup of the 'CHT_XXXX' files from the Windows folder, befor you overwrite them with the new icons/.png files.
Some of the icons e.g. the Notification icons is not .png files but manila files, and you need a manila editor to change them.

Really appreciated - was imo a good question with a bad header
I have searched alot to find this answer - but ended up just seeing this by coincidence. - anway /cheers for being able to change the two 'fixed' icons.
In general when searching for Co0kie Monsters Threads ... don't be fooled by only knowing the writers name - know how to write the writers name.
Cookie Monster = Wrong
Co0kie Monster = Right
Kindly and Thanks for opening this this thread!
Kwasmir

jkolner: backuping is definitely suggested, allways, anytime when doing any "hacking"
Kwasmir: yeah, now when I found the real CHT2 thread I am aware of that little detail cookie x co0kie thanks

I would suggest creating a separate thread named "CHT tips and tricks" where would be the final solutions colected and published.
perfect for searching, perfect for spreading CHT genius
