Change task and command bar to Vista style? - Touch HD Themes and Apps

I'm sure the answer to this is buried in here somewhere but I searched for half an hour and couldn't find it.
I'm looking to change the Task and Command bars from plain black to the black glass look like Vista has. I've seen themes with it here but i'm on Dutty's 6.5 ROM so it would need to be compatible with that.
Thanks

Try using the search options http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=25180000
if not there is a thread right on the front page for customising TF3D http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=480510
see if what you need is in there

Try Wisbar Advance, http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/products/pocketpc/WisBarAdvance/
and download and apply the VistAdvance theme for the taskbar: http://protogenlabs.com/notebook/45/vistadvance-wvga-wisbar-theme-finally-released-formerly-vistamobile
Note:
Wisbar Advance is the replacement for taskbar + many new functions
Wisbar Advance Desktop is a replacement for the windows mobile homescreen / TouchFlo

Thanks. I don't want to change anything else but the task and command bars though so that wouldn't really be suitable I don't think.

Transparent Top/Bottom Today bar

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
I can't seem to find any either if you know of some why not just get a link please instead of post whoring
i too woul be interested in transparent menu/task bars. let me know if you find anything.

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

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

[icons] tab icons for rhodium roms & CRYSTAL MAIL ENVELOP

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!

Changing Taskbar Icons WM 6.1/6.5

So the thing is.. i have WM 6.5 now, but its all laggy and stuff, so i figured out that I'll install Touch-IT rom.. well.. but there are those standard white icons, as far as i can see on the screens.
On my WM 6.5 i have a good looking ones, i would like to extract them and later change in my 6.1 but i dunno where should i look for them.. some dll file probable ?
Start button icon location would be nice too. ^^
EDIT: BTW, is it possible to enable BOTH battery icon and clock?

there are taskbar icons on the forum like:
SEX1cons "Q" series taskbar icons
or SEX1cons "F" series taskbar icons
or AnX1 Tsowen Taskbar - SE Mods v1.3
or Brian's Taskbar
This last one i use! I've you wil search the forum for taskbar you will find many more!!
You can not have battery and clock in taskbar. if you are using the standard windows ui you can have battery in right down corner by using a tweak in registry. you also can use Advanced Configuration Tool v3.3 to show battery

Change program icons in Manila 2.5

Hi,
I asked this before, but only got a program to change the program icons in the windows start menu...it didnt carry over to the program icons in manila (im using Valkyrie_v5.7 24001)
I would prefer to have all icons in a similar fashion...some are low res and some dont fill the rounded square well.
Hope this made sense
Thanks
Use the program, then once you've changed the icons, delete all the contents in Application Data\HTC\ProgLauncher then soft-reset.
By the way, I recommend nullstring's Icon Changer. He's an X1 user as well, so you're sure it'll work on your phone.

thank you..
never seen this post man, thanks alot! it works like a charm...i never realised that you had to delete those temp files!
im using the ireflect icons, i know they look like a gayphone...but they do look quite smart.
what icons you guys all use? im looking two that dont fit in at the moment;
ie icon (rounded corners)
marketplace (again, rounded corners)
If you are interested in some other ideas about icons, I can suggest those:
drik´s icon pack
dZenkinZ Iconset
tnynnt´s Application Icons
DINIK´s HD2 Icon Set
And maybe there´s even more on xda... those suggestions are just from the
forum I visit most these days...
