Remove colour bars from homescreen

hi ppl.
i want to know how to remove a coloured bar that displays on the homescren by default. i am attaching a screenshot of my homescreen for your reference. the bar displays where 'Hutch' is written i.e. where teh operator name shows.
secondly, is there any way to make the top and bottom bars transparent so that any image covers the entire screen, but retains the icons n text (eg. edge icon, contacts field, start menu etc?)

anyone ?

You need to modify that theme. Upload it and I'll do it. It's located under ApplicationData\Home\xxx.scheme.xml

thanks pal. i am attaching the 'simple home' xml and a screenshot of same.
i would like the following things to be edited:
1. no top n bottom colour bars (should be transparent to take colour of any picture i put as wall paper)
2. no colour bar where it says 'Hutch' (operator) - same effect as point one.
3. Would it be possible to reduce the font sizes too ?
thank you for your precious time and patience.

Here you go.
Oh, it is not possible to remove the bottom.

yeehaw !!! thanks a ton pal. the home screen looks real cool.
don't want to overstay my welcome but is there anyway to keep changing the lower bar colour ?

theres a software called base hue express. that changes the bottom bar colour. but i dont think it can make it transparent.

In home screen settings you can choose Color schemes (only basic colors) otherwise you would have to modify the theme again!

Help fixing colors

I was wondering if there was a way to change the softkey bar and the top windows bar color and font on just the tf3d? I have ui tweaker but it changes it for the whole phone. I want it to be black with green font on just the tf3d and green with white font in programs and the program list and what-not. I also want to make my slider clear. I have tried a few cabs but then you see the icon behind the big icon of the slider.

Transparent top and bottom taskbars

Hello,
I'm trying to get my top and bottom taskbars transparent. But I have no success.
I tried the cab from smaberg, changed the manila files in windows folder and also removed the taskbar.png with transparent ones.
All this doesn't work for me.
Who has a solution for Manila 2.5.19211619.0.
Thanks.

For transparent taskbars you have to use "HDWall" - search for it
smabergs cab is only for the cutains behind the operator logo and the bottom slider

But tbh, this is not a solution for transparency... It just replaces the black backgrounds in the top and bottom with slices of the selected wallpaper, meaning that as long as you can see the top bar, even if in a program, it will have the same slice of the wallpaper.
Real transparency comes for example when you press the windows hard button and get to that menu, that's a real transparent bar at the top... Although it might work in the same way, what do I know. I just find it too ugly that when you're in another program the top bar still has the slice of the wallpaper..

I tried HDWall. But the result is not satisfying. The bottom taskbar is now like the wallpaper. But the top is black. If I go to start menu the background is from the theme only the bottom taskbar is from the wall paper.
If I slide the menu I can't see the background. All is black except the bottom taskbar.
At the end this is ugly.

I played a bit around and deactivated Sense. So there´s the standard WM 6.5.5 homescreen - with transparent taskbar & softbar. Why isn´t this possible with Manila?

I also want to ask the same question but still waiting for solution around the web.

[Q] Changing notification bar (colors, size, type of notification)

I'm looking for a hint to change the notification-bar for the homescreen of my HD2. I' m using GOATRIP's Pure Black 4.6 Custom-ROM with CHT-Editor 1.7.1.2.
Backround:
This ROM-theme is quite simple and only black and white. But the notification bar is colored.
So I want to change the notification bar into white-grey. I'm able to edit the certain manila file "6467A103_manila" with the Manila Editor (v. 0.2) but I'm not able to erase a notification-type - e.g. E-Mails - completly. If I make this part of the extrated png-file blank there will be afterwards a blank field in the middle of the notification bar with an "0". Also the size is a little bit to small. If I enlarge the scale of the extracted png-file it has after transfering back to the original manila file no effect in size. Only to the changes in colors. So there must be a little bit more to be changed than only this manila-file. Any suggestions?
I've found the attached picture of a notification bar which would be fantastic for my homescreen. Does anybody has this manila file for me?
Thanx in advance!
