How to do that?

there'e all files I used:

more additional and simpler method
used only 2 files:

Nice and thanks
I tried the two files and they worked well here (Pure running Tess 4.1)
I had a few personel changes I would prefer
White(er) clock digits would be more visable on my dark background
And I sometime have a hard time finding the current icon (to slide it )
with the transparent slider, I mainly changed it to get the 5 icons
Either of these "user" adjustable?
(wasn't there a select from multiple clock faces setting somewhere?)
I also noticed (its what really 1st got my attention!)
you have 5 launcher icons
I really like that feature! or even 4 wide how many total icons (rows?)
and how did you do that?
Thanks

+1 (it's true 9 shortcuts it's not enought)

Sorry as a follow up I decide to remove the clock and slider
unfortunately I was unable to remove the clock completely
(remove programs failed) Fortunately I had backed up first and
was abel to get back the original white flip clock with a cold reset and restore
I might have had more luck if I turned off TF3D before attempting removal?
but just as a heads up the cams I had the problems with were
No_BG.cam and No_slider1920.cab
I've also noted that it Doesn't look like the task bars with the two file solution
are actually transparent? they look solid black?
The pic thats with the three files TF3D 2.5 top and bottom curtain files
and clock 26 trans. looks more like what I'm looking for, bit I don't understand how you replace the single manila files with the 3 masks (they all have the same name. even though in different subdirs) but can't help but wonder if these will work with the set of "colored task bar icons" I'm using? (aren't the masks
specific to the icons artwork?
I know I've asked "a lot" and from two different authors, but I'd be willing to
bet its an interesting topic that at least a few people would like to know more about.
Thanks

I'd like to have the bottom slider (the one for selecting tabs) semitransparent.. Actually it is in today screen, ma I'd like to have it semitransparent also on all tabs.

Back to the launcher icons. Anyone has an idea how to get 4 and more there?

Hi,
I can't do this task!
After turning off the HTC Sense, I tried to copy and paste files, but the unit had the following message:
Can not copy 'Access Denied'
Make sure that the memory is enough free storage, the destination is not write protected and file is not being used
I am performing a wrong way?
Thanks

anyone knows how to add those features?

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!
thyx to all
And of course happy new year to everybody bros!!!

What screenshot? I dont think it has uploaded correctly. and what threads and links?
Will have a look when you put it up
Cheers

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...
thx

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.
thx

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!!

Porting Bottom Start button from WM6.5 to WM 6.1

Hello, guys!
You all are professionals and know almost everything about different versions of WM. I have one very important question: is there at least minimal possibility to port somehow this WM 6.5.5 feature - bottom start button to the old WM 6.1 firmwares?
Thank you very much in advance and sorry if this question is a foolish one

It's sort-of possible but would take a little work. Why not just use a 6.5 rom instead?
I think the greater challenge would be resizing the top bar (smaller) and the bottom bar (larger).

Thanks for the answer!

I even can't imagine how it could be implemented... Don't you know if there already was some work for achieving it?

Because it seems more slow to me. Official WM6.1 is very fast and simple as I see, faster than 6.5. I've tried a lot of 6.5 builds. But what I really miss in WM6.1 - is this bottom start button. If it be there - it would be the best firmware for all people like me, who like simplicity and usability instead of these huge slow animations and pictures.

Yeah, it's useful too. Would be nice if somebody experienced considered this interesting and made some investigation...

it's easy to erase the Start menu link from the top bar. you can just overwrite the WindowProc and replace/enhance the WM_PAINT method and here you go.
It's no problem to launch the start menu. But changing the bottom bar is a *****! You could just overwrite the paint method as well. But this is not the full truth. The problem here is that every window got it's own bottom bar. So first you'd have to go through list of all windows/processes, retrieve it's menu bar and from there finally replace the window proc. Then you need to watch out and terminate your window proc if the application closes. And of course you also need to know if a new program is starting up. A nice-to-have feature of this solution would be that you can explicitely tell what happens when you hit the X button (hide or close) and don't need another hack for it.

Thanks a lot for your explanation, RAMMANN. It's very clear.
I can't do it by myself due to lack of experience. Well, the thing left is to wait if somebody experienced wants the same

Well it's a project that probably involves A LOT OF soft resets during development. I was originally planning to make the WM 6.5.x bottom bar look like PHOTON (the WM 7 that got abandoned) but when I figured out it's not THAT easy I postponed the idea for the time being, and will rather start with a smaller project (enhancing bottom bar of WM 6.5 start menu). But I reckon this might still be a very interesting project! hmmmm

Haha - that's exactly what I'd been doing years ago. I abandoned it as well, probably for the same reasons.
I think a decent compromise would be to set the Start menu in your left bottom bar on the Today screen (pretty easy to do, just registry change) and use a button assignment for other programs. If you install one of the start menu replacements (Green software) you can overwrite the start icon with something blank.
RAMMANN is right - a lot of work to repaint all those application windows!

littld, thanks for your answer too.

Well I didn't give up yet. I didn't even start dev for it. I just coded few lines to print something like "Hey your bottom bar is hacked!" in the Manila and start menu bottom bars. This is a very interesting project and has potential to allow a lot of things like Photon style or even an Android style bottom bar and I mean not only a standalone app like Androkkid but a full system replacement. I'm still looking around for an efficient way to realize this project and first things first so I'll be doing a start menu enhancement to warm up

I don't have the links but you can search. You want an app called VJKeypress - one of the keypresses will launch the start menu for you. Make a shortcut (.lnk file) for it. Search for how to change the left softkey text and program (somewhere in registry) to the new VJ link.

Thanks for your answers, guys.
RAMMANN, when you have some progress on this project, please, update this thread. I think people would appreciate it.
Thanks again!

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?

I would like to help but I am using Dusk ROM with Cookie cooked in to it and skinned by G10 so I think they are not the ones you want.
Also a hard reset is always a good reason to try another ROM

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.

Bonito77's Sense-Slider, Startsymbols and more

SENSESLIDER-ICONS:
Hello to all,
Since I mean my first Slider with everything which to it belonged, tinkered itself (Sliderbox and - bar). Since it much work was genuinly I the things gladly with you would divide. If it pleases at all someone. Stop is my taste.
The things, those once as Manilapackete and once as Caps made. The Slidercap contains only the symbol for the same. Bar and box separately install. Is more flexiebler and it comes with the Deinstallation not to conflicts, like it often happens to me in earlier times. There I to the installed Slider for the foils - after bar installs. There the files for it (in black stop) available were it however already, cannot the program any longer completely distant.
Therefore I have the symbol to separate box and bar made. Then everyone can look, for which like it.
Slider - boxes and - bar are in Post2.
Starting symbol (Post3) are only for WM 6.5.x, for the start - symbol left down.
Also I have a little graphics for the music player (the Slider it does not give from me. It is from Kurt Willems from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=674378 ) and also some soft bar symbol. (Post4)
And last but not least, my first sun and moon. (post5)
About criticism and feedback of you I would be content.
Special thanks go to Franwella, he show me the first steps to provide a Slider.
Spezial Thanks also to MR. Red Card, he lern me much to work whit Graphik-Programms
New creations poste I, depending upon kind, in the first contributions.

Slide - Boxen und Bars:
All in Manila Files and Caps.
I made three kinds of Slider Bars. One fulltransparent, one halftransparent(black) and one black. All three in the Packs.(Mannila and Caps Pack).
When you wish a special colour, then Post me and i will make it.(Boxes and Bars)
Edit: Slide Boxes green and blue are uploaded.

Startsymbols : Are only for 6.5.x Startsymbol down left.
First only as Manila Files.
Edit: Upload the Caps.
Please restart Sense after installation.
Edit: New Startsymbols are uploaded

Musik- Player:(for 6.5/6.5.x) and Softbarsymbols:(only for 6.5.x) :
All in Manila Files and Caps.
As already in Post1 said, is the Slider of Kurt Willems and the silver buttons are from MR. Red Card from pocketpc.ch, these two Things are not included in my Music Player Manila Files and the Cap.

Hello together
Property for you new starting symbols and heavenly bodies uploaded. I hope yuo enjoy my new Creations.
All as used as Manila Files and Caps.

very nicely done. looks great. are you going to fix with overlapping issue of the icons? i did transparent slider and the box transparent. then you see the icons overlapping each other. i know this is your first work and like i said it is very well done. just wondering if your updating these in future with fixes. thanks.

Hello, sorry i answer so late. I think you mean that the Icons overlapping when you slide, or? Thats what i want.
When i understand your question wrong, please ask me again or show me a Screenshot please.

Hello, I created two new Sliders and green and blue Slide Boxes for them, Boxes are in Post two uploaded and the Sliders in Post one.
Enjoy it and please give me Feedback, because I can't make it in future better without your criticism.

Now I made a new Thread for Digiclocks.

Thanks bonito 77
