Hide WM 6.5 Taskbar - Touch HD Themes and Apps

Is there a tweak or a software to hide one or both bars (bottom & top) in winrows mobile 6.5?

The following cabs remove the topbar (operator logo) & bottom bar (TF3D tabs). It is advisable to install sdkcerts first.
EDIT
I have no cabs to remove top bar (startmenu/taskmanager) and bottom bar (soft keys)

[QUESTION] How to make taskbars transparent?
Hi,
Recently, I was wondering, how to change taskbars (upper and down windows, wich are black and Manila's tap-bar) to transparent? Right now I have my wallpaper in hi-res (480x800px), and only taskbars disturbs my HD look-and-feel
On screens:
1 and 2 visual of my HD screen.
3rd screen I've lent from MaxTTm's thread, to show wich bars am I talking here about... I mean number 5 (Manila tapbar), 10 and 11.
What I want:
5 and 10 could be 100% transparent
11 could be 65% transparrent.
Could Anybody make cab's with these settings for me? I would appraciate that.
Thanx in advance....
My screens:

I'm affraid that is not possible in WM6.1, but a feature in WM6.5.

I'm using ROM based on WM 6.5 (like in my signature, or secound screen shows that). So I think it is possible...
2nd screen shows, that top and bottom bars are a little bit transparent... I just would like them to be (top) 100% and (bottom) 65%...
THX for reply...

mmm
not possible in 6.1 ? what makes it possible in 6.5? a reg hack ? as this is only software and there is no physical change betwen .5 and .1

On my previous ROM (EnergyROM), I had MaxTTm installed and there is an option, wich allows You to change transparency of top, bottom and Manila tap-bar... Maby person, who developed MaxTTm can say something about that...

MOD EDIT
Merged these 2 threads

Question: could You please attach some screens, how does it look after cab's install?? I'm wondering, is this the thing, that I'm having on my mind...
EDIT
This doesn't solve my issue... I'm trying to make top and bottom bars transparent - I mean top bar (where icons are on it) and bottom (where we have text Phone, Contacts etc...).

Ok, I'm your first tester if you release a cab. ;-) Just let me know.

As I stated cabs where not to make top & bottom bars transparent. It only removed background to TF3D tabs & operator bar on TF3D homepage

OK, so back to beginning... If someone have a clue, tip or any way of doing this (also by registry values), please let me know...
PS. I don't think, that merging my thread with this was good idea - I'm having other issue than x0a... But if forum rules are strict in this case, I can't do anything about it

for those of you interested in hiding the bottom bar:
if have started a new thread here in the development section as i found the source code of dcinobar on the author's website. maybe someone can use this and create a new program

When I try NoTopBar - my Manila Crashes I can use only standard Windows Default Today Plugin (in WM6.5)...
NoBottomBar works fine...

Yes, I had it installed after flashed to new ROM. Always install sdkcerts after flash, that saves me surprizes
What could cause this crash

Is there any cab to disable the bars (top and bottom) ?? If so can anyone guide me??

up
no program for remove the taskbar on wm6.5?

nueNoBar v2.0 works for me, with extra space useable. wm6.5 build 21882 (siemens lover v2.0 wwe)

I want this

How do I get this. All I want from this picture is the bottom toolbar to be black, Top to be the background with the 3D battery and reception. Thanks

3rd post, 2nd and third pictures.
the bottom tool bar he has is from a program called smartToolkit (goole it or search here in the fourm)
2nd, the 3d stuff on top usually comes in the redone roms that ricky made.. there is a way to add it by placing the files in the windows folder i think. but not sure...if u installed one of rickys roms, then u just need to change ur home screen to "media top bar" theme.
hope this helps

Give these two things a try NRG Rinku will add the bar at the top and smartToolkit adds the bottom bar. As for the black aspect in the setting window go to system base hue and adjust it to anything you would like (if you hit the right soft key you can select grey scale).

It says the layout you have selected cannot be loaded. please select a different layout using the homescreen item in settings, When i installed the nrg rinku. And where is system base hue?...And now that i have installed smartToolkit my wifi doesnt work. Anyone have AIM that could help me. I have a lot of questions : /
when i install the NRG Rinku.cab it doesn't change the top icon bar to the color version i've seen. do i need to edit something in the registry or something?

How to workarround the dead pixel line in TF3d CLOCK skin ? (SOLVED)

Hi guys!
I created a custom clock skin for TF3D (using original manila from HD) but It dont draw the line where the original numbers split (in the middle). Any one knows how to do this?
I tried SprintClock_HD_v0.1.1.cab and then, replaces the numbers with my owns and then display ok without the missing line (but alignments and the floor of the icons dont and lost the functionality of the hidden missed calls button in my skin)
Someone can help me with that ?

Nice work...
You need to shift the bottom digits up by 1 pixel. Have to edit your mode9 file. Let me know which TF3D version you are using. I can quickly edit it ( while I still have some time)

I don't understand what you mean with "shift the bottom digits". In the manila files they dont have the middle gap. I make the graphics continuous.
My tochFLO 3D version is 1.3.35350.1_1630.38 (taken from the Settings menu)

Sorry, can't find a backup of my old TF3D v1.0. Instead, I've used the BG4all layout version. Try it and let me know whether it works.

Yes! it worked !!! but I dont like BG4all thing so I revert to original files. In the sms window I cant read anything and its more dificult to see my contacts or the weather.
I learned how to edit MODE9 files and compared 1c684cd8_manila you provided with the original in my rom.Found the right values.Modded a little and VOILA!!! It's working 100% like I wanted
Thanks maxycy! I'll never be able to found it without your help

and for the sake of newbees (moi), can we see a pic without the top curtain? thanks
Sure,
Here ya go.
Both curtains removed
H.
Thanks. its cool
Just for info, I changed back to the default background to make it clear what the differences would be.
The default background is just too ugly
H.
Anybody manage to remove the bottom curtains? I just realise its not possible. When I tried to run the cab, it says its already installed and ask to remove it. When I selected yes, it gives an error that it cannot be removed and ask to proceed with install. I tried many times even with TF3D turned off and device restarted.
here we go. removed both curtains ...
THX
t h a n k s !!!
cool trick. anyway, if you're like me & want both in 1 cab, i did it for you. yay!
background of slide icon
is there a way to remove the background (grey square) behind the slider icons? i have removed both curtains, but would also like to be able to remove the square box behind icon.
thanks
never mind found it. looks great with no curtains and transparent slider.

No, these are changes the the Manila files, not registry edits.
For cabs with registry edits i just use WinCE CAB Manager & include what ever registry I want in the cab file
@ xnifex, great thanks for the info

can you tell me how i can go back to having the curtain, i cant uninstall it via the usual way...
I installed this cab and now top and bottom curtains are removed on home screen ... BUT,
if I slide to another tab, [Stocks] for example, and release it, then the curtain re-appears. If i then re-grab the slider, the bottom curtain is still visable until I release it on the home screen. This is also true for sub-menu tabs. For example if I select a contact and slide over [Details] [Messages] etc.
*I just noticed that if i slide to Photos and Videos tab and re-grab, the curtain stays transparent.
I'm also interested in having the same wallpaper/background for all tabs. It is currently a grey gradient background. I checked out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521162 but I ran into the same problems most of the other posters. (I have Sprint TP2)
EDIT** SOLVED!! southphillysean posted "BG for All Pages WVGA.cab" on the linked thread above. This solves BOTH of the above issues to my satisfaction, but had to change clock and delete carrier logo to make it look right. (make sure cabs are installed in proprer order with TF3D off.)
Also, the pop up icon screen that you see when sliding across tabs has a shaded background. When I slide (from the home screen) it looks weird cuz the only unshaded part is the the bottom curtain. Any way to make the pop up icon screen background transparent?
Still looking for a way to tweak tab background shading.
Any thoughts?
Here are some screenshots with notes to show the curtain problem.

Miri wm6.5 Manilla & TF3D issue

hi there.
i cooked my phone with Miri`s WM6.5 and tried to get more style from the TF3D using MAX TF3D theme maker
i used lots of components to try and make the BG4ALL to work
i also used other BG4ALL releases in this forum and nothing worked
just gos the title screen transparent, nothing works normally, the home screen appears broken, nothing is transparent and the icons in programs just look like they are behind a smoke curtain
can anybody supply a solution for this
in MAX TF3D the maker (used last version) the home components don`t work at all same problem, not even dutty`s.

what version of miris do you use? he also have one with manila 2.5 and that would maybe be the problem
V22 with manila 2.1.38403.2
Install MaxTTM
Add one of the BG4All components from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4038398&postcount=839 to your MaxTTM/Components dir where you installed the app.
Run MaxTTM, select TF3D 2.1 Home Layout from the drop down list, select a BG4All layout you like and press 'Deploy'.
Close the TRefresh warning and press TRefresh button in bottom left.
Close MaxTTM and wait for TF3D to reload
Go to the settings tab and set a wallpaper
I'm not using Miri's rom, and he updates his manila version quicker than I can keep up... It is possible that a new layout might be needed to be made to work. However the version you're using is being used by other people who have no problems...
is it possible with manila 2.5 version to mke anything ?Maybe transparentslider or another tabicons...
thanks

Yep. I've started disassembling it and cataloguing what files do what. Mostly theyve just changed names, so you can rename older edits to work with it (tab icons etc). I'm loathe to work too hard on it as these are very early alpha builds - the final release might be completely different!

Hide Taskbar

Hey
Just got my Blackstone and already installed a bunch of applications What annoys me, is that in certain applications (like resco photoviewer) the windows taskbar pops up on top and cuts off the top part of the program. Is there a program to hide the windows task bar on a per application basis?
Thanks

Not that I'm aware of. You can install cabs for making top & bottom bars see through, but I'm not sure how this would work with resco photoviewer. If I were you I'd find thread of resco photoviewer and ask your query within that thread. More likely to get accurate response. I would also check the wiki (SOFTWARE SECTION) to ensure that resco photoviewer is completely compatible with the HD.
Thanks for your reply, will do as you advised. What's the name of those cabs you mentioned, which make the bars transparent?
Thanks again

These don't work in all roms, so if they don't work for you, best to ask/search within your rom thread. You need to install sdkcerts first.
