How do you get a transparent glass looking taskbar and softkeys like the ones featured in the ENERGY rom? I have looked around, and I can't find anything that allows me to just change those two things to look like that.
Here's the example:

[EDIT] 12-15-2009:
I finally got it the way I wanted, if anyone would like an HDWall cab created for a background they like with the glossy bars, just post ur WVGA picture up here.

Hey... i got problems too... got it transparent... but not the rest...
thanks a lot. I finally got it going myself bro.
Only problem I have now is I can't combine it to work with max manila...
whenever I install max manila I have a white background and can't change it anymore.
I found these files through the forum, they are not mine, but it will help, either install the cabs or use resco explorer to overwrite the manila files.

attached you see a screenshot. The taskbar and bottombar are not part of the wallpaper. And the way i see it, by default 6.5.x doesn't provide any solutions...

Right - I see what you're asking now.
The wallpaper is actually "overlayed" with the taskbar and menu, so it is fullscreen, but behind those objects.
Search for HDWall (it's not in the Leo section - I believe it's in the Blackstone section, but could be wrong, so do a search of all forums).
That makes hi-quality wallpapers (better than the resized-by-htc wallpapers that you normally get) and it does it for all tabs. You also have the option to skin the taskbar and menu, and even change the slider if you want.
That will do what you ask anyway. Hope it helps

i'm using miri 1.4 rom right now, that one is provided with manila 1922. Hdwall still doesn't support that version. The wallpaper will come out mangled and all weird....
edit: also i don't see the option in hdwall to choose wm6.5.x only wm6.5, does that have any impact?

Try the HQWallpaper cab from the 1st post - that may help, but I'm not promising anything.

That shouldn't make any difference. It's not making any changes to the OS, just the GUI.

HDWall (used to) works a treat! as long as your on manila 1921
Well it used to, but lately it doesnt seem to be working,
However Ive just flashed a new rom (topix) which IS running 1921 and have just installed.... waiting for the result.....
....waiting....
....waiting.....
!!!Result!! Yes it does work
(try one of my walls if you want, but make sure you have the high quality wallpaper patch from cookies installed, and .net compact framework 3.5

as i told before i'm on miri 1.4, that one comes with manila 1922.....
and the hq wallpaper cab together with hdwall does NOT work....
i already know manila 1920 and 1921 works with the cab and hdwall, i used that before also, but with the newest manila it simply does not work
i noticed that when i select titanium as homescreen, the bottom bar is semi transparent, how can i also get that when using sense??? That would fix half of the problems i'm facing...
edit, not only bottom bar, but also top taskbar is semi transparent then...... why does this only work with titanium and not htc sense?
no clever ideas/solutions for me?

I told you already, MaxTTM
Try this Transparent softkey .tsk file, along with MaxTTM.
Then you can have clear bars and no softkey bubble buttons.
Although it does not line up perfectly. It looks best with textured or patterned wallpapers. In my opinion. It really depends on what B4all you are using as well.
I have been searching high and wide for a 6.5.x cab that will remove the soft key buttons but in turn leaving the text and bottom soft bar intact.
Please for the love of God, someone point me in the right direction.
Here's an example below of the soft bar with just text.
i think u can try the "transparent" softkeybar I made here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624874

VGA is same cab as WVGA
To keep the original WinMo icons, u need to also download the AddOns package from my theme.
First u install the softkeybar cab, then u install the addon cab to restore the original icons (don't remember the exact name of the cab... I guess something like "original icons" cab or similar)

It worked a treat...Thanks for helping me out.
Moved as not theme release.
Hi, i found this Threat during I search, how to remove buttons from the softkeybar. The only button i want to leave is the menu-button from the manila.
Can some one give me a tip, where i have to make the change, or a link with a discription how to do it.

Hi guys, i love HD mini lockscreen but the bar for unlock is too big for me, so i made a new one little bit smaller!
I add "Unlock" and Arrow
Let's show it!
Before
After
Version:
Icon:
Text:
Just arrow (without icon_text in attachement):
works for W/VGA
For HD2 owners:
-Artemis, dutty, official ROM use CFC Uncompress
-Clean EX use CFC Compress
if you don't know, try CFC Uncompress and if it doesn't works, use CFC Compress (no need to uninstall previous version)
Next release:
-New version, with new colors and more contrast.... I'm just waitting cookie 1.8.1 to be sure on compatibility
Contribution by traianescu => Other Version
Contribution by rat_2665 => Colored notification
-A member (Father Ted) give me idea to use Dinik icon style (i will publish it after i ask it to Dinik!!)
-Next release will include Unlock bar with color!

Looks nice, thank you
hey i downloaded from the link but the files that downloads is in dat format...????
Yeah, beacause it's a manila files, just put it on your \windows
nice, but my unlockbar is blank after installing this mod into the \windows dir!
any solution?
blanck? I control the files right now so! Do you soft reset?
Hi,
would you mind sharing your softkey bottom bar?
Thanks
Regards.

yes, soft-reset is done! blank, transparent, means no slider-background. only the icon shows up, where you can see the number of new messages!
rom: artemis 18.0 GER
manila-version: 2.5.20121412
system: 5.2.23571 (23571.5.5.0)
CHT 1.8.0
It's mine own creation and using (and inspired) GTX Theme files, so i can share the .png of my creation if you need
Or do a search on your \Windows of "SKBackground" iff you fide a file (and it's the currently) taskbar i share you my .png
thanks man, you made my day, but the unlocker is full transparent for me too maybe i like that...

guys with transparent, try this please! May be your CFC is Uncompressed

sorry :/
I verify the files and it's okey... will make uncompress
don't worry, now it's ok, thanks man
Nice, the uncompressed version is working on Artemis v18.0 GER.
But one question: can you also release a version without the word "Unlock"? Perhaps simply with a Lock-Icon from standard Lockscreen? So it will be multilingual! ;-)
Cool, i'm happy to see thaht it work now!
@apple, good idea! i will work on it!
But now i'm going to sleep, bye all and sorry for the mistake!
Hi,
I created an icon set as a cab file. It works near perfect, but some icons don´t change. I´m wondering why
I used Win CE Cab Manager to create the cab.
Following Icons don´t change:
bing
the complete office icons (the outlook icon works)
in call recorder
flashlight
the folder icon messages
encryption
Does someone know why the icons don´t change?
Ben
I give up ´
I think i´ll releas the icon set as png files
use a regualr icon changer for those.. some things have multiple copys.. and the easiest way to attack them is brute force.
i know that, when i dont clear htc sense cache...
maybe this helps..

you have to erase the png files first then run the cab and all icons should change.
you have to add registry entries, as shown in the screenshot
my suggestion is to download my basic icons cab and replace the icons with those of your likings. make sure you keep the file names intact!
i use artemis rom which is very close to stock. if you use a rom with the icons organized differently, you'll need to change the registry entries accordingly.
pm me if you can't find your way
cheers,
antaed
@m0bmentality: Hell Yeaahh, you´re right but i´ll try it with the basic icon set of antaed
@mrkevinhall: Thanks for the tip, but i´ve tried this before
@antaed: Thanks, i´ll try it, maybe it works. I use the artemis rom, too
is their a way to extract the basic htc/windows mobile icons to png files?

they are png files already, if you mean how to extract them: (with wince cab manager) go to cabinet>files>extract...
you will also find some qtc files, you don't need to modify those.
just extract the png files to a folder on your pc, replace them with your icons (use the same names!!!) and repack the cab.

yes but in my reply to benalive i'm referring strictly to how to unpack and replace the icons from my bull's eye basic icon pack cab.
but maybe i misinterpreted his last question and he wants to know how to get original icons from the phone instead. if this is the case i'm sorry for the confusion, my bad...

@ antaed: no, i want to extract the standard icons of the hd2 in the windows DIR.
I replaced the icons of your basic cab, it works great. Thanks
