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.
This is my first theme, so don't expect too much . It replaces the portrait (ONLY portrait) wallpaper, the icons (could not find the manila file for the stock icon, so if you decide to use my theme, please disable this tab), the slider and the clock. The theme is for the new manila with the new start menu, which means there is no icon for the programs tab (yet).
Thanks to maxycy for his theme maker, which saved me a lot of time locating the necessary manila files .
Uninstalling works fine and don't mind the warning when installing the cab file - guess I screwed up making it for specific version of WM.
thanks man.
it's beautiful.
If there is interest I can make a landscape wallpaper and icon for the programs tab. Also if anyone knows which file is for the stocks tab, I can make that too. And of course the color can be changed too, so I am opened to suggestions for that.
good job man

This was a smooth idea making this theme its cool as hell more up to date than the original default theme.
I like that icon so i made a few edits and will be adding to my bettercut icon pack. Thanks
the new icon is nice i agree its funny the first theme i started out with was deep black now im back to ur theme are u going to change the gesture unlock kinda hard to see the circles
i am going to look in to the gesture unlock but i am going to do the dialer first i have had no time today working on my bike.manup456 i like the icons you made for your theme would you mind if i used them in a harley theme when i get the time to make it

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?

Someone from us speak very bad English i think
I write in the first post:

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!

Hi butz007,
Like your work!
Are you into creating animated gif as well? I like to have matching startup and shutdown animation for my TP2 in wvga format, same as Blackstone If you could make some with maybe matching wallpapers for TF3D and S2U2 and some TF3D tab icons perhaps that would be brilliant.
cheers M

using shake and save, make a screen shot all your program tabs and operations on going on there, which btw may i ask you the windows 3.5 that you were telling me is the vertical sliding navigation with the hexagon shape icon on their start up? right? does the hexagon shape can be customize?; say it can reduce its transparency and make it more visible, and it recalls an image, just like mine it recalls my today's image background, so we could really make some fun out it...
make a screen and post it here let me see what i can do?
cheers!!!!

A TP2 is very much like a Blackstone with a slide-out keyboard. At moment I'm using the wallpaper with the flames that came in the default set. For S2U2, home screen, all TF3D tabs and XDAShutdown. My startup ani is the Windows 7 one that's floating around.
What I'm thinkinhg of though is Gotham city as a background where it's almost dark, to give the screens some depth viewed from let's say 6th floor? The darkness is for contrast with the fonts and icond from TF3D. Maybe it can be aranged that the weather tab isn't too much interfering with the picture. For startup ani the same picture would be the end slide and it might be starting complete black and then lightens up a bit, some light go on in some of the buildings. Can you see the picture in your mind? The shut down ani might be same but the other way around.
Splash screens? I think frames that give you a close up from a part of Gotham or some stills from the last movie.
Problem is I can sketch it maybe on paper, but not on a computer. And in words, well let's see what you think off it.
How about graphics/art for and application?
