Good idea Customizing the TaskBar is still on my to-do list ! I tried it once with the .cab posted above but that didn't work well with Opera so I uninstalled. Curious to see what other .cabs will be posted here...

New zip added in 2nd post

keep more coming.

We need separate cabs for coloring the Volume bar (green and blue) and also cabs for the icons in the bottom bar (home, contacts, etc).
I would also suggest that we don't upload complete themes, but rather stand alone cabs so that everyone can modify their HD as they wish.

Agreed

If this is possible it would be great. Is the volume control overlay in the same .dll as the volume icon, however? I thought this might be the case, but am not sure.
Also, I would be eternally grateful if someone could get the start icon in post #1 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=460309 working. I have tried my best, but just can't get it to look right.

You are absolutely correct. However, when I started using the nickname I misspelled it and haven't bothered to change it ever since.

This seems like a good place to ask this: is there a way to display the battery indicator AND the clock on the taskbar at the same time? I want both icons on there, but ít seems that that is mutually exclusive

You can use Wisbar Advance (google), that is the only way I know of...

Hadn't come across this 'tutorial' yet It worked like a charm and appearantly so far without any side-effects (only too bad it changed the Start-logo aswell...but you can't win 'em all) ! Thanks for pointing it out to me

Not EXACTLY what you asked for... But you could monitor the battery status by using one of the cabs in <this thread>. That way you CAN see both the clock and battery status at the same time

Volume control colour not changed
Hey guys i installed the cab to get the taskbar icons and it worked but i couldn't get the volume bars to change to green as shown in the screenshot has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks sk806 and ^Rook. The Winbar thing goes too far for me...way too much stuff I don't want or need. As for the battery-line, ^rook, you're right, it's not exactly what I was looking for, but it might even be better Thanks for that, I'll definitely give it a try now

What you could try is one of the battery bars (long bar right at the top of the screen about 2 pixel height) and just use the clock icon ?
WkTask is free and excellent. It includes a top bar for battery.

very very nice
when you will release this great works?

even i don't like vista's logo, i have to say it's a great job! taskbar and bottom curtain are awesome. i like even the slider, because i dislike that big trasparent button.
the task bar is trasparent, isn't it?

do these also have landscape backgrounds?

George,
When do you hope to have a public release?

Yes they do,. They also have a CAB for each of the backgrounds with instructions to give the Today desktop, portrait and Lanscape Backgrounds set properly

Great job, man!
It's gorgeous!

Sorry for asking but how did you exactly achieve the clear effect in your top and bottom bars? I searched but the best i found was only the clear slider. None had the same clear effect as your bars right at the top and all the way down at the bottom. Thanks!!

It's very, very nice!

The clear effect is a simulation of transperancy, it's a case of using a part of an original background and overlaying it with a Transperant bar. If you or anyone else would like a more detailed step by step just let me know and I'll set it up.

Wonderful! I like it.

Can explain in more detail? Do you mean that the top and bottom bars are actually actual parts of an image? So if you change the image the bars would remain the same design/colour and thus the transparent effect would be gone? Everytime the background is changed the bars have to be manually changed too?

Can't w8 to see the result. U'r a genius! The theme it self is gorgeous! Wonderful work. I know that you already have an idea of your next project, maybe the next one will be even more better. However i can't imagine what can be better than this. Anyway, ty for your hard work! And keep going on like that!

Yes I'm sorry to say there are no true forms of transperancy for task bars not that I know of .The background itself those not cover the full screen so if you have a portrait skin of 480 x 800 then the actual background part is 480 x 696 leaving 52 pixcels for the top bar and another 52 for the bottom bar. If you want even more details than this PM me and I'll organize something on the weekend so you can make them up for yourself, assuming you are using wisbar

Thats great to hear! But i've got 1 question, I only recently bought my HTC Touch HD (which is my 1st WM) and was surfing the internet for some useful stuff. Thats when google brought me here I've read a couple of threads and the previous of yours also. So i would like to know if my device needs a ROM change, or whatever it is to get the theme work properly? Because i had problems with some applications, when i was installing them and then tried to open i almost all the time got this error: "You have got and old version of framework"...
Srry for the off topic.
I really apreciate your hard work! And i think to the most of HTC Touch HD users it will be a great present for Easter.
P.S.
Good luck!

[ICONS] Showaco BBExtreme ICONS TF3D Rhodium manila

A few days ago a made a "tour" at raphael app forum and there I did discover something amazing made by showaco. Here below I shall give link and copies to that thread and also will attach all necessary files. Think that showaco's work is very, very, very interesting - see by yourselves.
edit: I've extracted the icons from above theme and made them compatible with Touch HD. Icons attached in second post. For this stylish clock and mail envelope credits go to nanoo-egg :) Enjoy

This problem with white windows I have see before and has to make with the size of the icons. But I opened the cab and the icons size it was ok.
I didn't check the manila files but I think cerato didn't made something wrong.
We have to let him to find the solution. His work its perfect.
I would like to put his icons in my list.
I can stay more than 2-3 days with the same theme and Icons so I need more.
@Cerato, If you want to make my SQ transparent analog clock to look better, make it in photoshop 3 times copy-paste one over the other.
After that the poor graphics look match better.
I like also the original BBExtreme 5.0 icons. Maybe tomorrow I made them a Cab for HD.
Also Giannis86 will make his themes availably for Blackstone. So we will have more themes

Sorry to hear that, but the icons work on other roms with new manila (panosha, Leo, NRG, Dutty). Just have no idea what could cause this.

If you don't like the banner of Internet tab change it with cab attached below.

Think they can go in conflict with the mun_rus 4allbackround?

Thats could be due to your manila not being cfc compressed, but I find it hard to believe that someone would still be making rom without using cfc compression.

works on TP2??
Does it works on TP2 aka Rhodium?

let me know for v9

My findings thus far for Touch-IT V9...
The icons at the bottom are great - but unfortunatly the you can see the original icons underneath [shall try and take a screenshot soon] This is also the case when going into the contacts, music and all other sub catagories. In effect the transparency kinda dissapears from the bottom/slider but the top curtain seems fine.
The clock looks cool.
The background is nice and not too distracting
Everything else running as intended that I can see.
Shame about the transparency on the slider the larger icons are the new icons though, so you can tell what the bottom ones are meant to be, shame the original ones taint it.
Nicely done theme though Great work!

lol you totally right!
i totally forgot about them
was so ****ed up with trying with the text.

v1 is up!
tell me what you people think

Nice looking theme, a white version would definitely be worth checking out.
Any chance of getting just the clock by itself?

I like it, keep up the good work!
I think the new email tab layout is great. You should create that as a saperate cab file for implementation in the standard manila layout. I think many people would use that. My father for instance, wouldn't want to make his business phone look like this, but he would really like that he can read the email message without the envelope being in the way. What do you think?

I made a conceptual theme for our Blackstone, because i don't know anything about how skin, I'm asking for help.
1.) I's such a skin possible?
2.) Do you like it?
3.) Wanna help me create this Theme
This is only a sketchy concept there is still a lot of work to do.
Design all icons, choose the right scale for the elements, make clean shining graphics and optimize the colors for the device and so on...

hi
as far as I see this, it doesn't burst possibilities of skinning manila - you will just have to replace several images, but that is something you will have to ask people who know how to do this ;-)

nice concept!
on wm6.5 with HDwalls (here->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503511)
you can easily do it without programming skills...
the only problem I see is how to change font color to white&black...

I don't know how to make a clock or a taskbar
Also which files i have to change for the background of the
calender an missed call list?
I can't just implement them into the background because every tab
has the same background....or is there a way to change that?
For the font i don't have to be black&white...just black would be enough for the start.

It looks nice! I have these icons on my old moto razr - are they standard moto ones?

ok, the way you had the black&white it would even be possible, as far as I know just font that is white at the moment on this pictures stays white.
about the backgrounds: if you just want to change background on home tab, and leave the same on the other ones: no problem, that's possible with apps like hdwall, but if you want to have similar, but not the same backgrounds vor every tab you will need to go to the XPeria section, where user rotastrain works on a "different background on each tab" addition.
you can pm me also in german as I am german, don't think people would appreciate another spoken language in threads than english...

Thanks for the tip, I've send a pm to rotastrain asking for help.
I think he knows if it's possible or not.

the main screen should not make problems. but it will be difficult to customise task bar and bottom bar.
You schould use "Wisbar Advance" for this.

not at all you dont need Wisbar Advance... as I said just use HDwalls, it is certainly much more easier... and free! you can easily:
- customize bottom bar icons of TF3D (no need to be an expert, you have a very simple program for that)
- customize the top and bottom bars png of wm as long as you have a wm6.5 ROM and that you tick the option on HDwalls...
so now I'm just waiting for the theme
PS: to customize font colors and clock of TF3D you can certainly use Max TF3D Theme maker... very easy also to use

Good news!
The famous rotastrain and i are going to collaborate on this Theme!
He said it's possible so hold on for news!

hey - just another thing I think which is useful: you could also ask someone who already did themes like this - the author of dusk theme for example ;-)

I LOVE it!
