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.

Does anyone know where I can download and install the standard O2 apps that are installed as part of the WM5 customization after a hard reset?
I've just upgraded my Orbit to WM6 and am missing these as they were really useful. I'm not intrested in other apps as I know these O2 ones worked fine and didn't drain the battery etc etc.
The 3 I'm after are,
1) Running Apps for the Today screen
2) Battery Meter
3) Memory usage Meter
4) O2 task manager shortcut Icon
Thanks.
These will be the ones I'm after, all shown on this review just before half way down the page in the screen shots.
http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/4wm-reviews-hardware/7982-o2-xda-orbit.html
Meters allows you to show up to three level meters for Battery, Memory, and Storage card. Each meter can be tapped on to show; a plain bar, the bar with percentage, or bar with Mb free.
Running Apps displays a simple line of icons indicating which programs are currently running in the background, tapping the icon switches to that program.
Shortcuts allows for up to five shortcuts to be configured for launching, tapping on the icon launches the program.
Task Manager - this is activated via the 'O2 bubble' which resides in the bottom bar of the today screen. A single tap on it brings up a brushed metal pop-up which displays the running applications and an options menu. The 'X' next to the listed applications allows each application to be terminated manually when required. Options allows you to select which O2 Custom Today applets are usable on the Today screen, as well as allowing you to define the shortcuts for the Shortcut applet.
They are all in the 'Items' menu of the 'Today' setup in preferences. You need to turn on Meters, Profiles and Shortcuts.
Thanks for the reply and they woudl be if I was still running my O2 ROM and it had run the customization to install them after a hard reset but I've upgraded to BEBE's WM6 ROM which doesn't have any of the O2 utils loaded.
Anyone else on where I can get these? Would anyone with an O2 Orbit ROM be able to pull the customization CAB install files out of their ROM somehow for me?
I just sent you a PM. I can email them to you.

Can you upload these files somewhere?
I just checked the ftp site and they are already there...
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Artemis/Extended_ROMs/O2_Orbit_UK_1.25.206.101_extended_rom.zip
Big thanks to Mark for that and the email. All loaded on and the meters runnings apps and O2 bubble task manager are all there and I'm almost back to where I was on WM5..
However SPB Time fails to wake up the phone from a screen saver locked state with sound, sure it'll flash up the screen with snooze or dismiss red and green buttons but no sound errm kinda makes it useless as an Alarm Clock and as I'm sure all the rest of you out there do I really rely on my phone as an Alarm.. I've been late 2 days in a row now because of this, no joke so.. errm kinda critical for me to get fixed..
Any ideas people. I've even un installed the paid for version I had and installed the latest version (trial) from their site

Hello,
At the risk of sounding stupid, I've just downloaded the zip file for the extended roms. I've unzipped it and gathered from the config file that I should place the cab files in specific locations... My question is, is there a (semi)automatic way of installing it? If not, should I follow the paths found in the config file? Also, there are a few files missing, ie the bmp files, do I need them? Lastly, what about the config.txt the file... where is that to be placed?
Sorry for the barrage of questions Noob here, just want to make sure I understand this the right way!
Thanks for all the help!

Hey there
I was wondering .. I have both a Diamond and a HD and i would like to customize my HD with the same themes and tabs as i have on my Diamond.. Like the Comm Manager tab, Missed calls tab, Calender tab... And so on.. And the same themes ! Like same background on all tabs and no curtains.. But is this possible ? I really miss some customization on the HD.. The Diamond has hundreds of themes and many custom tabs and the HD does not have anything .. (Or at least i can't find it!)
How can i get same background on all tabs?
How can i get some Diamond Themes on my HD?
How can i get custom tabs like comm manager, missed calls etc. ?
Maybe we should make a thread with Frequently asked customization questions?
For background change search forum for "manila"
change tabs in tf3d:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405749
how should diamond tweak add those tabs?
Same questions goin on in my mind....
can we do that?!

yes: search "HTC Touch HD TF3D 15-Tab" in this forum. Is some 13 theads below this one in "Themes, Applications and Software" subforum
It would be good to add just the tabs we want, instead of having to go the whole hog. I've been through the 15-tab thread and it seems there are still issues with getting the config right. Show/hide and ordering tabs for example.
Surely it won't be long though thanks to the quick pace of development here!

I tried that with the 15tabs installed and for some reason it messes tf3d op .. some tabs dissapear that you haven't chosen to remove and the order you selected won't work either..
i'm only guessing, since i have a single tab (calendar) added, and tf3dconfig works to move/hide/unhide
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

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)
It might be a stupid question and if so dear administrators please remove this thread. I am wondering if anyone found the names of the buttons in the command bar (the bar below) in the new winmo roms such as 23053+.
This should be winmo graphics and no manila files and thus more easily to modify, I guess.

They actually can come under different names depending on which theme you select. The easiest one to look at is prefixed with ClassicBlue, thats the MS set
Here are some skins for these buttons
Maybe you can extract the files from the cab to make your skin...

Thank you for your quick response. Maybe I didn't make myself clear enough, since these weren't the icons I was looking for and the buttons in the command bar don't change when you switch themes.
I added a full screen shot and marked the buttons.
Thanks anyway.

I new what you meant, anyway this is all of them, 6 main ones and the rest have to be concedered as well.
I recently moved from Dutty WM 6.1 to EnergySun WM 6.5 application and I have, as usual, disabled HTC Manila.
Is WM6.1, when I click start button (top left) the top bar would show the last 4 lauched applications. A very nice applet, I guess, whose name I am unaware of.
The 4 last used applications were displayed on top of the main window, at the left of the icons showing clock, network signal, wifi signal level, etc.
Now, in WM6.5, when I click start, yes, I can have the whole desktop appear, but this nice applet is gone...in other words, I cannot see anymore the 4 last used applications on the top bar.
Can someone point me to where I can download this small program to display (on top bar) the 4 last used applications?
Thanks
Saulo
or shall I assume that this is not a tiny program but just a setting?
If so probably I can make the top bar re-appear (showing the last used applications) simply by tweaking with WVGA Tweak?
If yes, can someone please explain how to do?
Thanks a lot
Saulo
I have tried to use WVGA Tweak and Advanced Config, but I see no settings to change there to enable this feature (to show the 4 last opened programs)
Can somebody share his suggestions?
Thanks
Saulo
Personally, I use wisbar advance 3...gives me options to use cascading menus along with most recent applications...pretty good so far and gives the phone a nice pc feel...
Thank you Telegraph!
Can you kindly point the link for the latest version? I wish to give it a try
Again thanks
Saulo
I have found the link:
http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/
I wish to try it, but anyway are there other similar applications available, fee-based or freeware?
Thanks
Saulo
sent you a PM
