Forget about the Iphone skin, just use this instead.

So you want this popular look, here’s how to legally do it.
Download the following three programs:
Wisebar advance 2 (to load the black_panther theme, search for it)
cLauncher (to make the tables for the clickable icons)
funnysnake tkcreater (to change the font to white and make the background black)
Once all three programs are on your PDA/smartphone, go to your today screen and go to ITEMS. Uncheck everything except cLauncher.
Now open Wisebar 2 and go to settings > custom theme. Import the black panther theme.
Go into the settings of cLauncher and setup as follows for 640 x 480 VGA (if you have QVGA, simply play with the margin settings until it looks right)
Icon size 32 (very important)
(check) icon name enable size 45
(check) Icon name at bottom size 15
Icon Margins (for VGA) horizontal 5 , vertical 5
Window Margins left 10, top 15 , right 0, bottom 0
For skin I use this for a nice black background: http://www.pocketpcthemes.com/preview.asp?ID=58566
It will stretch and the logo will disappear.
Under options on cLaunch set for the following:
“main” uncheck all groups except main.
“system” cLaunch height 265
“tab” uncheck everything. This will remove the lines and tabs and leave only your main screen. To get back into the settings go towards the bottom of the screen and tap and hold in a blank area to bring up the options for cLauncher (since you won’t have a settings icons anymore).
Now, to setup the icons and shortcuts simply go into the options screen of cLauncher by going to the bottom of the screen in a blank area and tap and hold for a second.
Choose “add” and seek the program you wish to make the shortcut. Now go to “change icon” and choose an icon. You’ll need to have loaded 32x32 icons you wish to use in a folder to choose from and they need to be BITMAP icons so when you cut them up, resize and save them, make sure you use bitmap 32x32 size.
I’m sure you will have creatively came up with Icons somewhere…..
Now just launch Tkcreater to change the font color to white and if you are not using my favorite skin up there for a background you’ll be able to use the slider in Tkcreater to adjust “transparent” settings which will black the entire background out when the slider is all the way to the right. What you do here with the menu won’t be valid because the Black_panther theme will override the menu.
If you do this with the setting I have provided, this will be your end result.

Enjoy!

If you do this let me know It's better than working from a skin because it is easy to change this way.

please, send the url of the iphone standard icons.

I noticed that too. I'd say it's going to look a lot like this -- after I followed the original instructions on setting it up per decknologist's post several months ago.

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.

@frauhottelmann
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!

making softkeys "bigger"

hi,
how can i make the softkeys (that are the 2 in the touch-area at the bottom, right?) react on fingerpresses on the zoombar?
for example: on the manila email tab, usually the softkeys are named "inbox" and "menu". I want to open the "inbox", when i press on the zoombar at the location 5-15%, that is the area directly under "inbox".
I saw this feature while i played around with several roms, but forgot to write down the rom.
kind regards,
macfly.

on a similar note, itd be great to hide the slider bar on the screen and use the scroll bar to switch between touchflo tabs.

Yes. That would be very nice.

[REQ] How to remove text below shortcuts on today screen?

Hi to all...
I did search and search but nothing found. On my today screen - home tab - I have 20 shortcuts. Below the icons of the shortcut appears a text label.
With 20 shortcuts the text is very small, barely readable and in my opinion very distracting. Therefore I prefer shortcuts without the text label.
Where should I search? Manila files, registry? Can anyone point me in the right direction or hand over a solution?
Would appreciate your help! I'm using the 1.61 ROM and have the Max Manila mod installed.

Found some of a solution myself. I'm not yet satisfied with it though.
The text can be removed by editing the registry:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Home\nn
Where nn stands for shortcut number, eg. 1, 2, 3, ..... 20
Look for the entry DispName. This contains the shortcut text.
Replace the text by a space.
Now the text box is gone, but the little black textfield remains.
When replacing the DispName by an empty string the text box also disappears, but now the whole shortcut icon becomes grey. So that is not a nice looking option.
Still looking for a better solution.

Nobody here to offer some help??
Just can't imagine I'm the only one who wants to get rid of the text below the shortcuts on the home tab. Without this text the home tab looks so much cleaner / nicer...
PS: Happy NEW YEAR to all !!
