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...
guys... help please... How come all of my questions never attract any reply?
there are quite a few posts with replies out there mate

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
Transparent taskbar and commandbar
Need transparency for both the task bar and the command bar, - I'm using topaz

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.
I´ve modded my HD with nocurtains application and new Icons for the TF3D, however, the squares aroud the icons are still grey, is it possible to chande the color to match the theme?
If you mean like mine then I did it with the attached cab file (or at least I think it was that one that did it).
That´s it :d
How did you chenge the start icon? Have that CAB?
There's a thread about it here. I can't remember without looking but I seem to think the file also has various other icons altered. If you wanted a version with just the HTC logo altered I can do that for you? Or if you want the full coloured top bar I have a more recent version than in that thread that uses files just from the HD when possible.
I already have the colored topbar, but if you can post your version of the colored topbar with the icon changed it would be nice, can you also change the start to "iniciar" ?
Then can you post the cab for changing only the logo?
Sorry about the delay I got a bit sidetracked yesterday.
I've attached two cab files. One replaces the Start icon only (all the other icons are untouched). The other is one I created using just files from the Touch HD when possible (the other version knocking about seemed to use some differing files from the Diamond and also had two 80% battery indicators but no 79% which I've fixed). You need to install SDKCert.cab if you've not already got it. I've changed the word start to "iniciar" with a lowercase I. If you want it with a capital I let me know. I've been using the second one on my phone for a week or so but with Touch HD with no issues but other than me it's completely untested.
Also, the modified files are from a WWE ROM using English. I believe other locales use different files.
this thread will be moved to the theme , software and application section
It looks amazing
Please, send me the cab with Capital "I"
Can you explain me how do you make this cab files? To complicated for a noob?
Here's the same cab with full colour icons, HTC start icon and a capital I in Iniciar. You need to install SDKCert.cab if you've not already got it.
To create the top bar took a bit of figuring out at first but once I'd got my head around it it's fairly easy. All the guides are on the forums somewhere. I'll have a look to see if I can find the ones I used.
Once the files are modified creating the actual cab file to install them is very simple thanks to an excellent program called Quickcab that is also on the forums. You tell it which files you want copying to the phone and where you want them, create any registry keys that may need altering (this top bar has one key that changes the amount of battery statuses to 101). You then give it a description for Remove Programs and a file name and click create.
Hi friend! I liked your botton icons. Where can I pick this theme up? Does it include Stocks icon?
Thanks
It's from an excellent Diamond theme by DjOuBhAa called Simply Black. When the Touch HD first came out someone adapted the full theme but I only wanted the bottom icons so I took out the manilla files for the icons and made my own cab file. Unfortunately it doesn't include a Stocks tab icon (the original didn't either).
I've attached the cab I used as well as No Curtains to remove the top and bottom curtains and Pamas Transparant Slider to give a transparent slider and remove the background on the icons not currently highlighted.
It also looks very good on a lighter background
Hello, in the transparent slider i see an whit symbol only over the indizies-tab.
All others are ok. Can you help, that all tabs are blank, when sliding?
Thanks
Manfred
Thanks a lot for the icons and all the work you had.
There is only one other thing I would want it to change if possible, the battery icon, I saw one that looks better in my opinion, it´s somewhere around xda, but can´t find the link, please see post #2202 in the following link.

I've just double checked my Remove Programs and also my Cab folder and they're definitely the two I installed (apart from the actual icons) to get my slider as it is. The only thing I can guess at is if the order you install them in could make a difference? Maybe try them the other way around?

LAST UPDATE 06/04/09 10:40
At this thread you can find some new and old tab icons with the extra stock and calendar icons.
For the moment I have upload the follow icons themes:
Tesalat official multicolor, iPhone Icons, FuzeBerry Icons, Tesalt_Berry Icons.
There is also a cab to change the mail envelop and music picture in transparent.
Tesalat Multicolor Icons
These icons work with all roms.
Them background it is a transparent button, which look well like you can see at the next picture, at all wallpapers colors.
And here a screenshot from my Blackstone.
New Icons [iPhone]
Included also icon for programs Tab
Next it is FuzeBerry icons, thank you very match. http://www.fuzeberry.com/
They are included in a very nice theme special for HTC Touch Pro
I took out the icons and I made a CAB with icons, transparent slider and No Curtains. You can use the icons from my CAB but don't try to install at your HD the complicate theme of FuzeBerry from the link which I give you. I put the link only to look you the good work of him.
Of course my CAB work at the HD
You have just to install at your main memory the CAB. For Unistall do it from All settings/system/remove programs.
ICONS WORK ALSO AT OLD MANILA BUT AT THIS VERSION MISSING THE PROGRAMS ICON
Fuzyberry Icons
NEW {Tesalat_Berry Icons) I made a new version of Berry icons.
I changed some icons (sms,music and I add an icon for the roms which they have Programs Tab.
This version can used from all roms with old and new manila
Tesalat_Berry Version
Later I will make another version without colors (Black& White).
IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE TRANSPARENT SLIDER YOU CAN PUT THE ORIGINAL WITH COPY PASTE OVERWRITE AT THE WINDOWS FOLDER. You can find it at the attached files.
Nice Kostas!
Thank you!
May be I am not clear...
Does your .cab work on Touch HD??
If it DOES work on Touch HD, would these only work for Old Manila or the new Manila?
If this is only for Touch Pro... then why did you post this thread in the Blackstone section?

I took out the icons and I made a CAB with icons, transparent slider and No Curtains. DON'T TRY TO INSTALL THIS THEME AT YOUR HD, DOESN'T WORK. IT WORKS ONLY FOR TOUCH PRO
Like you can read I say, icons was included in a THEME for Touch Pro and because I gave the link of the theme, maybe someone try to install it at his device.
In this thread I give only the icons. I made them png files and after with M9editor I replaced the original files.
You can see the screenshots also.
So, you can use the icons but no the complicate theme of FuzeBerry.
Of course my CAB work at the HD

Kosti, This because at the real Rhodium manila, there is not tab for programs like at the old manila.
I will make an extra icon special for the roms which use mixed Topaz-Rhodium.
These icons from FuzeBerry are Blackberry icons so I can find one for programs.
brilliant! looking great on my HD, please add programs icon. thanks mate
At the first page there are more new icons themes.
tried the Tesalat_multicolor_icons.cab and the FuzeBerry_Phodium_icons.cab and both looked very nice indeed. however, when installed both caused the Quick Menu button (on top right corner of screen) to disappear from the screen with Manila running. had to uninstall it to get Quick Menu to work...
Awesome job here nanoo-eg! Love the new look you gave my HD, thank you!
Keep up the great work!

I think what you guys need is this editor. It's simple to use. Just install in storage card and use it to make your top, bottom or curtain fully transparent.
P/S: I install to Device because I have to re-install it whenever I upgrade or Hard reset. Dont know why.

Anyway back on track CLYDEB1 you seem to know your stuff, I have the dusk theme installed I have the 2.1 version with no problems although I do not have the same bottom bars as in the above pic (soft keys) is this because of 2.1 ?

You need to install Dusk 6.5 Theme.zip as well.
Unzip the file and add the contents to \My Documents\Themes\Dusk (make sure it reads this way only - no lower level or will not work) and then go to Today settings and select one of the themes. It works well on R9 (no issues with Manila 2.1). Do not change the background picture however to those included in the theme as this causes these black bars to be duplicated.
There are some added benefits of this theme, it changes the scroll bars to a nice glossy black and changes the highlights in most screens from that terrible green which makes it impossible to read the contents to a nice deep black.

You can try with nuenobar1.3 or 2.0, it depends on your ROM I think. For me (TouchHD and WM6.5 ROM) it doesn't work... Maybe you can have more chance.

If you are on WM6.5 try the Dusk theme from my link posted above. It works.
I already have Dusk Theme and it's ok.
I'm sorry I thought that the topic of this thread was the cancelation of the Black Bottom Bar... And I suggested NueNoBar 1.3 or 2.0. It's a mistake, sorry.

No problem. It is not that clear I guess as to whether the OP wants to add or remove the bars. I assumed as they are running on the standard ROM that is was to add rather than remove the bars???
Hi, Firstly thanks to all the contributors on here - you certainly come up with some great tweaks and mods. I have installed loads of stuff from here to personalise my HD2 so thanks again.
However, as much as i've searched, I cannot find a cab to remove (make transparent) the top and bottom black bars (start/status & phone/menu).
Is there a cab available specifically for this?
Many thanks
