I am trying to figure out how to get my top bar to either be transparent, or black. Also when i go into NRG weather 3.0 options, the text is in cursif, as well as text in other places on the phone, totally unreadable. Anyone know how i can fix these two problems? Sorry if its been answered before, but i have searched, as well as just browsed 1000 posts for hours, cant seem to find a solution. Thx in advance for any help!

Yah I know, I still love this phone over the G1, only thing I wish this phone had was more Ram and of course 3G... that would seal the deal on the phone if it had that...
Fonts worked great! Thanks alot. However i cannot figure out how to delete the CHome_Iconbar_background file. Cannot delete it on the phone, or from the computer. I tried to turn off the iconbar and then delete, and that still didnt seem to work.

Which ROM you using? Guessin Ricky since then it would make sense you can't delete it since it's in the ROM.
If not then turn off the media Top Bar restart then try and delete.
yep, rickys. anyone know if its possible to maybe just disable the background?
Well i found ONE background that would make the bar transparent! So looks good now, not exactly what i wanted, but not bad. Now once i figure out how everyone gets the weather apps integrated with clock/date tab ill be all set

Very interesting question, all i found so far is one for Symbian...
Hey everyone, I am new to this site. I just got a dash a few weeks ago and I like moding everything I touch so here I am on this website. So far I put the kavana mod and also smartkit, works great. But I have been looking around the site and I found pictures where the top bar (Battery Power, Signal , etc etc) have color icons, I wanted to do this to mine. I searched the forum for hours looking for the thread but found nothing. If someone could point me in the right direction or send me a link that would be great. thanks

Welcome to the forum
If you can provide the pics you found would be easier to help you
thanks for the welcome and here are some pictures, you can see what im talking about at the top of the home screen
Yes it's called colored top bar/ rinku, depending which rom you're using, go to settings/homescreen/homescreen layout and choose sliding panel colored top bar.
If your rom doesn't have this option, you need the NRG Rinku .cab. take it and tranfer it to your device and click to install it.
thanks alot it work perfectly! good looking out man , this forum is awesome

Hi!
After spending a few hours searching for answers for simple things, I have to resort to actually ask here. So please how can I:
1. Change the colour/style of taskbar? I mean for it to resemble W6.1, some application like RC MOD.
2. How do I change the menu size/style to the old one? Or at least smaller?
Thanks!
Probably should try asking in the WinMo subforum or the Kaiser-specific one.
Now I'm playing with HTC Touch Pro 2 (my signature is not update ).
some ideas for you

You could try searching for Vicsoft's UI tweaker. It will let you customise lots of system colours
As for your second question, do you mean the start menu ? when you click on the windows icon on the top left corner of your screen ?
If so, you could try JUVS HTC Enlarge start menu. Again, try searching as I can't remember where I found it

Is it even possible to get back the old style WM61 bars?
As for my second question I meant pop-up (context) menus, but I'v already found some applications which could help.

Yes, that's the one. Be sure to go through all the menus and make a note of your current colour settings, as once you get started, it's easy to forget what you had before.
Interestingly enough, whilst playing around with this utility, (there are actually 4 combined I think?) I was able to change the background colour on the program and settings page , and the signal bars colour on the task bar from white to cream, even though your not supposed to be able to do that
Never was able to replicate it though after a hard reset because I FORGOT to take a note of my settings
I'm not sure what you mean about the menus, sorry
Good luck

If you can't, then PM me and I'll give you some registry tweaks that will do this.
I like having the "Display Clock on the Title Bar in all programs" option on, so I can keep an eye on the time no matter what is going on, but when using this option the "Battery Meeter" in the Title Bar disappears...I guess it's an either or thing...
Anyone know how to have both?

Flashing a custom WM6.5.x ROM would allow you to have both. Unfortunately, WM6.5 doesn't seem to support both icons in the taskbar at the same time.

There are some great apps that show the battery state across the top of the device as a colored line. Do a search on AvianWavesBattline for that one.
Or I recommend the BattClock program, which allows you to put up a lot of information in the taskbar.
I actually use both...

Cool! I've seen the AvianWavesBattline before, forgot about it, thanks! I have to look up the other one.
I use BattClock too and am happy with it - have it showing the time, battery % and free RAM.

I've got to ask the dumbest question ever, but I've looked through all my settings and cannot figure it out. How do I change the background color of the clock and the task bar from the blue it is now (see attached) to black like the calender is? Sorry, but I just can't find the setting. Any help is appreciated!
I do have the new AT&T ROM with co0kie's Home Tab.

haven't heard of anyone doing that yet...with our settings...sounds like you would need a CAB to change those. I know there are some for the task bar that I have seen floating around.
Where did you get the ROM? ---> i just got the new official Rom
Is that the official leaked one?
Did you have to flash to install?
What's the Cookie's home tab?
Thanks

It's the official ROM off the HTC website. I've seen so many screens of the HTC Tilt 2 with the colors I want, I'm guessing that they may have been cooked ROMs. The Co0kie's Home Tab is the editor that allows for tons of customization of the home screen and options, it's great. Thanks for the reply and if you find out anything on how to change the colors, please let me know.
I Found It!!!
http://tp2.bfgreenberg.com/Sense25New.htm
You can change the home tabs and a lot of the other Icons!
I used these when I had TouchFlo3D on the original ROM, to add the sense, colored slider: Touch pro ones are here: http://tp2.bfgreenberg.com/tf3d.htm
The ones for us on the new Rom is the first link, for sense ui stuff.
Where did you get the Cookies Home Tab?
Thanks
Just Tried the Icon Package for this one, they look great! No more Black and white look!
Will try the slider bar next
I found a few more, that I am about to try, here's the link where I found them:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529576&page=91
Couldn't get this Transparent Slider to Work...haven't tried the clock or curtains...
Noticed you don't have a Task Manager in your Task Bar at the Top Too.
This one is Great! Same thing we had in the Original Rom
Now we just need something to change the icons in Task Bar...add something with color!
This one will let us design our own slider with our icons of our choosing and set all the wallpapers to be the same...haven't tried this guy yet...but this looks better, just a little more work than just the transparent slider.

You can go here http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-co0kies-home-tab.html and find Co0kie's Home Tab, works great for me. I'm going to check those links you posted and will get back to you on how they work. Thanks for the updates, too. I'll definitely need the Dutty's Task Manager. I already downloaded it, just haven't put it on my phone yet.

Thank You! I added this, happy to get some more quick link tabs!
I added the Icon Package and the Glass slider.
When I tried the Transparencies for the Quick Links...I tried versions C, BUT it caused the images for "Quick Link Contacts" to Disappear ... so i took it off, I haven't tried version A or B yet.
There are some glitches when uninstalling the Glass slider, since it is slightly to the right, you stalk slider becomes slightly to the right when you uninstall the Glass one.
Screen Shots show the Icon package...gives color to everything. Plus, in the 6th picture you can see what I mean by the slider being slightly to the right after uninstalling the Glass slider....a little annoying...will probably put the glass one back, I was just playing with different things, untill i have time to try HDWalls app...which looks a little more complicated.
Ok, Added the Transparent Slider Back in, and the App to remove the Blue background behind the clock.
First Pick is w/the Blue back ground and the others without it.
Slider is slightly too the right in All People and some of the other things, but not bad enough to cause any real issues.
I Installed the Transparent Quick Icons Version B, and it did the same exact thing as Version C, but keeps the icon Images for Contacts in Quick links, so issue solved.
Here are some shots to give you an idea.
Looks Great!
Wow, those look really good, Strange Shadow. I think I'm at the point where I've kinda got things where I want them, but now I must have that taskbar (love the colors and icons). Which taskbar was it? I tried one of the ones you posted, but I found several icons missing when I installed it, so I uninstalled it. I'll take some pics later today of what I've got now. I think the transparent or glass sliders did exactly what I wanted which was to get rid of the blue. Thanks again!
Latest Screen
So, here's what I've got so far. Was having some issues with the tabs on the slider having a blue shadow/background. But when I go into the contacts, it seems to disappear. Anyhow, I like your taskbar and icon packs, gotta give them a try.

I'm using tsowentaskbar6v3.1(lite).cab for the task bar (cab added to this post)
Haven't had any problems with it.
I went with the Version C for the Quick links, it gets rid of the shading around tabs and names, the photo issue I had earlier is gone now...I think I originally put them on in the wrong order, the slider is suppose to go last.
I noticed the same thing, with the blue patch after a soft reset, but I just go to contacts then all contact, then back to home screen and it goes away.
Now that I look, I am missing the Text Message Icon in this one, when I get a message, the original white message box appears...hmm....that's the only one I have noticed so fare...I might try a few more within the next couple of days.
I also noticed that the reception bars are not showing, when nothing is going on, I just have the earth with one tiny bar, but when making a phone call, they appear with the phone icon, I am going to try v6.2.1 and see if it changes anything
BTW, I have been installing these on my strage card, to save device space, not sure if this is the reason for any of this, I will try on the device too, some time later
Gonna give that taskbar a try and let you know how it works for me. I'm so much of a noob that if I have to change anything in the registry or something along those lines, I'm done with it. If it's not a cab file that self-installs, I won't risk screwing something up. I'd like to sit down and learn hands-on, but don't know anyone in my area. Thanks again.

Yeah, I'm the same way, if it's not an easy Cab install/uninstall I'm usually not too interested. I prefer the easy cab install to make sure nothing gets messed up.
I would do more if someone could show me a step by step, and show that it worked fine with their 'personal" phone without ruining anything.
Good luck, I tried 6v.2.1...it has the same issue, keeps the old wm text message, and doesn't show the signal strength...I'll try installing them on the internal memory...see if that makes any difference...which I doubt will...
Further down his page there is one for Wm6.5... I tried it, and was SOOOOOo excited when I found that the Signal Strength option Finally Worked!
But...the Speaker indicating sound/vibrate/silent is completely gone...
DUDE! I FOUND ONE! w/the signal actually working!!! lol
So fare the only thing I noticed is that the Text Message Icon is still the old white Bubble, but the Signal is working and the battery looks great!
Here it is: CAB
Just found another annoyance, the Volume Controls are changed a bit now, when you press the up/down side volume hard buttons, the image is slightly different, the bars indicating the Volume are now 3/4 the length of the original, with the first 1/4 no longer existing
Task manager and red X over lap sometimes too...but not a huge deal.
Screen Shots...nvm in my room, I can barely get two bars lol
