Hi,
First to avoid the confusion, I'm NOT looking for the transparent curtain in TF3D, im not using TF3D.
I've got many nice wallpapers for today screen, however, the top (the bar that contains: start button, network signal, battery icon) & and bottom bar (2 soft button) make this unpleasant.
I've searched around and came across SkinMobile 5 & VJToggleToggle/Today ... however, it looks to me like they don't support WM6.1, nor WVGA.
SkinMobile5 v1.1 is what i tried, and it doesn't provide transparency, and has to be run in background
Could any one offer me a solution to make these bars transparent so I can see my wallpaper fully?
I thought these should be some png files that I can set transparency to?
Thanks...

Well i can 't find ANY when using search on transparent menu,
so if anybody know a link please . . . .?
i hope due to the wm6.5 wich has actually transparent windows task bar and bottom menue bar
it might be possible to get an mix version also for the diamond.
or only an tsk file which has this "colour for transparence"
would be realy cool
if anyone has it please send me an pm
greets
That's EXACTLY what I was thinking of !!
I've been trying to modify one of the Pocket PC Themes (a .tsk file), but unfortunately couldn't find no transparancy options for the top & bottom bars as you indicated ...
I used Netswap ThemeMaker X (TMX) & Microsoft Pocket PC 2002 Theme Generator.... Perhaps there is an advanced software somewhere that could actually help...
anyone got it solved

Mate,
Did u try this ? This is for WM6.5
Never got a chance to try it myself but looks promising
Give it a try but start from here
It will work on WM 6.1 & 6.5 + any Manila version
It may be possible for WM 6.5 with MaxTTM, but not for WM 6.1, MaxTTM can only change the icons of the taskbar but not the transparency. Hope someone comes out with an answer for the transparency - ( please note that the transparency is required only for the taskbar and the command bar - not the taskbar icons nor the softkeys) - Thankyou.
Edit1: Maybe something like below:
http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/4871/honeycombui.gif
WM6.1 top/bottom bar transparent (not TF3d user)
I would also like to have this transparency... if anyone knows please share... thanks !!
so it's not possible with windows mobile 6.1??

Nope...
use hdwall just use the search function or:
1. Take your wallpaper
2. creat to new pngs one called mysoftkeybar.png and the other mytaskbar.png or whatever you like. (480x52 Pixel)
3.put the top of your wallpaper first 52 rows (sorry for my english) in the taskbar.png and the bottom 52 in the softkeybar.png.
4. Copy theme into \Windows\ folder
5. Edit the registry entries:
\\\registry\HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Softkeybar\SoftKeyBarImage
to your pngs
same for taskbar
and reset device.
but i highly recomend to use hdwall much easier
oh i neary forgot your wallpaper image should now be 480x692 pixel's for the normal today (crop of the bars)
for manila use the normal wallpaper

Guys, the answer to all your wet dreams can be found right here.
Hi I have tomtom installed (josh black rom or what ever its called) and it has the 3x3 large quick start grid on the home tab. The default tomtom icon is very low res and ugly can i make my own icon and replace it and if so how?

Yes it can be replaced with a higher-res version. There's numerous threads over in the 'themes & apps' section with icon sets and instructions on how to get them on your phone. Many of the aftermarket icon sets do include much nicer versions of the tomtom program launch icon.
Thanks very much I'll go for a hunt

Hola,
1) the Top Icons as you call them, are "hidden" and included within the dll´s of your device. If you want to change them, you can either learn how to make taskbars (extract images from them, easy, but then mod them, also easy, and finally "put them back in and make the taskbar work - not so easy). You might find up to 1500 or 2000 images within the taskbar. Some of the images can be found in windows root though ;-)
It´s a lot easier to find a "proper" taskbar with the icons you want, or and this I would not recommend at all - play and check which dll is responsible for which iconm and mix them.
Messing with these can really screw your device, so if you don´t know, don´t do it
2) Transparency for the BackGround of ClockArray
- you can edit the manila file for the background your self, then you would have to decide wethere transparent or visible, and keep the "other" version on SD card, so that when ypou wanted to change that, you simply "replace" the one in windows from SD Card
- or if using CHT, you can install Poyensa´s CHT Tweaks (beta) and use the config possibilities in it to make it transparent or visible on the go, as well as many other interesting configuration options within and for CHT Widgets...
3) That is a rather tricky one because it´s hidden in the mode 9 file for that tab, and maybe also referenced by lua files and other mode9, and this tweaks are discussed in specific threads so that the average user is not missled into modding elements that could mess his or her sense(s)
4) You already have those icons provided by you. The are in the cab from Keko
If you check the files with CFCGui you will find up to 5 or 6 icons that are "almost" the same for each tab. As posted in the other thread:
he slider cab / or slider elements consist of the following groups/items:
- Slider bar icons when selector is not "on" them
- Icons on selector when scrolling over bar icon (these are transparent when using transparent slider, except for calendar because of date)
- Midscreen Icons
and last but not least, the ones within the settings tab and tab config personalize options
If you could tell me, which ones you would like to change, I could provide you with the list for them

Which manila files are these?
Hi, manila files are located in the windows, if you change (copy paste) remember to backup the original ones.
This cab is for transparent bar operator, just to start ....... To me it works 100% with CHT. to make transparent the other bars, there are many cab we work with hd mini. There is a cab I think I ANASTASIA that makes everything transparent screen, calendar of 70%. the only thing that does not work with hd mini is the digital clock. My setup always with CHT.

If the cab is OK, it should restore the o files after uninstall - but you should ALWAYS know the files that are beeing modded/replaced, and if you don´t have your ROM files broken down already on PC, then you should back them up from device first
FlipClock background has two files:
BackGround normal = "31794a12_manila"
BackGround when "pressed" = "0b6f5c5e_manila"
Hi BHS,
thx fpr this file names. The Flip Clock background files are well known
I am searching the files for the top bar. In my Screen marked with number 2

You are still on CHT right?
Sure, check out 573d289b_manila It´s a manila qtc (image) file that can easily be modded to suit your needs for the Home Tab. And in one of Gabbana´s posts (actually two posts, one cab and one zip) where he offers transparent top bars for all tabs except the Music Tab... Sense Transparent top bar tab Maybe you have included them already in your collection of Gabbana´s work?

You,re welcome. If you try files, just remember to always backup the original ones, and if you are not sure about the origin or the changes in those files, replace them one by one and check for results...
This way, if "undesired" side effects happen, you can simply replace the file by the initial one
Unless a cab / install does a lot to your registry... In this case, an uninstall sometimes will not revert your registry back, but you can check in the cab for the changes.
Hi,
This is a complete newbie question.
I am new to android, so pardon me for this naive issue.
I can see very nice themes in themer where they have used icons in widgets.
But, in my zooper, i only have weather and battery icons. I downloaded some iconset from devianart (like ipapun.deviantart.com/art/Devine-Icons-Part-2-141129260) and put it in zooper icons folder, but zooper is unable to access it.
Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Zooper needs iconsets that are prepared to be used with it. Have a look through this thread to find icon sets that are already setup in the correct way: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2084070. Be alert to the fact that Zooper has two icon set modules: scalable for font based icon sets and bitmap for picture based icon sets. You have to add the appropriate module to your Zooper widget to use an icon set of a type.
Also many people just use icon fonts like Font Awesome or Android Developer Font directly to render icons in their widgets. These are used by adding a font module, selecting the font and then entering the character that renders the icon you want.
Hi,
As I checked the thread you suggested, it shows that most of the icons are conditional, with either charging or weather. So, taking hints from that, I tried to create a iconset with file structure :
├
Code:
── config.xml
└── icons
└── Mail.png
and put it inside a tar-zipped file, name mono.zip.
The config.xml is:
Code:
<config>
<title>mono</title>
<description>Monochrome icons</description>
<icons>icons</icons>
<image>Mail.png</image>
</config>
I have placed the file in Internal Storage/zooper/IconSets But I am still unable to make zooper recognize it.
The file is also attached.
Kindly advice.

You XML is only partial Zooper compliant. Check this page what the different tags mean and also see the two pages linked on it to get a better understanding how Zooper iconsets are configured.
Thanks a lot! I have managed to make my first icon set. No small deal for 2nd week in android!!
If you upgraded to Android Oreo 8.0 I am sure you noticed the new icon shape and the annoying background.
I read that on other phones (Samsung and Pixel) there is an option to turn the background off but I couldn't find it anywhere in the settings...
Anyone knows how to do it?
Also i look a way to turn to old icons
you can change icons in themes....its easy !! htc theme have more than many milion icons themes or background....
but not change all sistem icon...
The icons look decent to me ( facebook needs some work ), the Settings menu structure and visuals and the changes in the battery menu ( previously Power ) annoy me a little bit.
"I read that on other phones (Samsung and Pixel) there is an option to turn the background off" >>>>>>This is the adaptive icon feature of Android 8.0, not something "turn off the background" but each app must have all kinds of app icons (round, rounded square, square, etc.) in the APK, so that the launcher could pull the needed icon out and show. That's how adaptive icon feature works.
However, the case you described here, is just a set of icon pack made by HTC as default. What you need is just another set of icon pack which you can download for free in HTC Theme app.
HTC needs to stop making their home launcher so rigid. let us change things we would like to on a Nexus or Pixel
install lawnchair it has the option to choose whatever background it's free and it is the best launcher I used hands down
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.deletescape.lawnchair.plah
So, here's the solution: install the icon pack here released by HTC today: https://themes.htc.com/actions/them...5d60d?by=09abf6dd-1d5a-4cc9-b11c-d474867eec70
@Alpert3 Thanks, that helped partially...
For some reason, only some of the Google icons are still with the round grey shadow.
For example: Drive, Chrome, Photos, Gmail, Calendar, Play Store, Fit...
Can you add a screenshot?
I assume it's the the default round icon of Google apps.
https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZIqXgAAzQlQFhtx42
Yep, confirmed, it's the adaptive icon from Google.

What link not showing up in XDA labs
@6th_Hokage ??
I made a customized theme, using all rounded icons, I tried to keep all icons as close to stock style as possible. You can download here: https://themes.htc.com/actions/them...a3?token=dbf74135-da27-4d8a-99d7-0e9b1a5eb425
For some reasons it was refused by HTC to publish, not sure why.
If you like my theme with all other stuffs, then keep it; if not, you can choose another theme you like then add choose the icons from my theme.
I can't download any theme from HTC Themes... it shows me an error after 5-10 min it said Impossible to download XX theme. I've cleared data of Sense, reinstall Personalize apk, i've also delete my HTC account sync and reenter my account... I don't know what do to... can someone help me??? Thx
Wrong topic...go post in general Q&A
