DIY for customizing taskbar - Touch HD Themes and Apps

Hi
I have just bought my self my first HTC a HTC Touch HD (previous addicted to Palm )
I may sound a bit stupid asking this but is there a easy reading step by step DIY for basic customizing of the toolbar?
I'm not a SW programmer but would like to cuztiomize the taskbar a bit to make it look more modern.
I've searched around here and looked in Wiki but all the threads I find seems very complicated to fully understand.
Thanks in advance!

When I bought my first PPC, I didn't have a clue on how to mod it, or do any of the cool stuff I saw other people were doing. I read the forums for a good week, and tried to find out all the info I could. Afterwards, I tried a few mods and they worked! There were a couple of times where I couldn't figure something out, THATS when I posted and asked questions that were answered by forum members. You have to do some reading, research & experimentation about things first, you can't just post a general question and expect everyone to spoon-feed you the information. Read a few threads dealing with how to do what you want to do, use the search, and you will see someone has asked the same questions you have now. Download the .CAB files you need, and happy modding!
thanks mate
all i want to know is if i am using the right software i download something name the diamondtf3d i can chage the skin but the skin comes like half way down the screen i guess that because it was design for the diamond which has a small screen so i want to know if there is a version for the blackstone
Depends on the theme. Some themes can be obtained by just replacing manilla files in your Windows folder. Search for instructions in the appropriate theme thread.

Carty..
thanks mate
well right now i am using a program name diamond tf3d config and the themes are coming like half way in the screen can some one help me plz
can the diamond TF3D config used to edit/add themes for HTC HD / blackstone? will there be any problem?
Using a Diamond tool on your Blackstone/HD could cause trouble because the screen resolution and size are way different (Blackstone 480x800, Diamond 640x480)

tf3d creating customizing

Hello all
Has anyone written an easy to use guide on how to create/customize your own tf3d including what software is needed and a straight forward link to that software. I have been around this site trying to find a guide for so long now I’m getting dizzy. I have a few ideas that I would like to try out.
Many Thanks Jez

Colour Icons on the Taskbar

Is it me, or do the threads associated with modding the taskbar get really confusing, really quickly?
Talk of sdkcerts, dlls, etc etc, threads getting edited and changed for good reason, but I'm just confused! I'm no numpty, I've been around pdas for years, but I find this impenetrable.
Any chance for a step by step from start to finish on what to do - or is it not that simple? I'd imagine it'd be sensible to point out the different gubbins that need to be tweaked for vga and qvga.
Thanks in advance, if someone would be so kind as to help me out.

Keyboard Creation

Hi guys, no more stupid questions, i hope
I have recently managed to get a GBC emulator working and i was thinking how much easier life would be if i could create a small keyboard that i could use to press.
Any ideas on where i could read up regarding creating a keyboard, or whether someone has beaten my thought process to teh punch ?
regards
You can create one by just developing a simple application that will be a tranparent form, without menubars, titles and etc. then add a tranparent frame on the place that you want the keyboard and put buttons or ImageBoxes as the keys.
Also remember to make the application OnTop
If you want I can suggest some tutorial to read about tranparency, hiding menubars and tiles..., but all in C#
Enjoy and Good Development!
sob sob sounds so intense
but yes tutorial me
im currently building an arcade machine though and im heading overseas and was hoping to have the little proggie downloaded from somewhere
but if you think its easy to make a little graphic representation of the keys of a gameboy and use that as my keyboard ... hit me up
First of all: Which language you use to develop for WM?
?
Is the code possible to right in c++?

Need help with Manila (TF3D)

Hello guys.
This is my first post on this forum. so I hope i'm doing it right.
I have a HTC touch HD with the most standarg TF3D on it (Version : 3.0 build 32567).
I see all the screens of what you people did with your phone and I like it a lot. So I looked and looked even more on the forum.
And still i can't figure out how to get a nice layout as you have. First I thought I need to find new ROM (Manila) But then I figured out I have Manila becouse it's TF3D.
I just totaly lost it. Can someone point me in the right direction so I can get a new look on my phone with the extra buttons and collorfull taskbar buttons?
I know it has to be found on this forum, And im not lazy to look (did that past week) I just have no clue where to start.
Tnx All.
