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

Transparent taskbar and commandbar
Need transparency for both the task bar and the command bar, - I'm using topaz

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

Guys, the answer to all your wet dreams can be found right here.

[THEME]Blue Gems v0.1

So... because you've all helped me learn much about my new Blackstone.. I thought I'd contribute this theme:
It's pretty basic: just a clock, a background some modified frames and tab icons.
All graphics were plundered from free sources.... As you can tell I was playing with transparency.
To use it please rename .theme.zip to just .theme and install with diamond tf3d or just copy the files into your windows directory.
Anyway.. I don't use 15 tabs so if anyone notices icons in the wrong place please tell me and I'll switch them over.
Also installed and relevant:
Diamond TF3D config - to install the .theme file
Cyprus LTD Colored Top - For the pretty topbar icons
NisseDILLIGAF 3Iconmenu - To remove extra tab icons
NisseDILLIGAF NoCurtains - For no curtains
Aside from that.. hope you like.

good....thank you.
i want 15 tab...can u made it?
sorry my bad english...

All the icond for extra tabs are included.. but may be the wrong way round! Let me know and i'll swap them.

=[
Im new to all this...do i jus drag n drop to my memory card??

The best way is to create another folder called Themes inside your My Documents folder and save the .zip file attached in there.
Then download a program called Diamond tf3d config (you can find it here on xda with a quick search) Then use the programs installl themes function (it's in the appearance tab)
That way you can switch easily between themes without needing to install and uninstall cabs all the time.

i dont see the tabs in transparency mode... why is that? its all grey instead like the defalut one.
do i nned to use special manila? or program?..
your theme is really beautiful!

[THEME] Classic Black Themes with Analog & Flip Clock

Classic Black Themes with Analog and flip clock
These are the newest.
First from all a big thanks to Max for the 1c684cd8 manila file. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=480916
I have make the new square analog clock, in two versions: Black font and transparent font. At the most screenshots I have the transparent.
There are cabs at the attached files for the clocks and for every background.
The Cabs are for the new manila, so install only if you have cooked rom with Manila version 2.
Cabs work without problems and any time you want unistall them, you can do that from Settings/remove Programs.
You can put Official slider for Tabs Icons if you don't like the mine.
You can find the file at the attached. Unzip and copy-paste overwrite at the windows folder.
If someone with older manila want to use the backgrounds I give them like wallpapers so as to use from Settings/wallpaper.
Just make right click at the picture and save us at your pc.

Is it moveable like normal analog clocks? Also, does this work with mun_rus background for all tabs on the new manila v3?
Still a good job regardless.

Looks awesome mate, bring it on!!!

It is just a test for the looking.
I have to try to make the clock skin to be real file, not a picture just on the background.
I will see..... if no, max has nice clocks.
Mun ras cab it isn't customise until now.

Great work Bro! Is it possible to change the tab icons? The stock ones are ugly.

What I would really like, is a nice, classic-looking - normal-looking analog clock. If possible, that is. Something like this:

Hello,
I have a dutch rom.
When i installed this theme is that in dutch or english?

Great work! Looks great, works great!
Just a little suggestion. Could you remove the clock base from the background of the tabs except "Home". I have read somewhere that there are different manilla files for the Home background and all other backgrounds (not sure if this is the case with manilla3) so maybe it is possible to use the base as part of the backgroung (great idea btw!) and not have it mess with the looks of other tabs. And another thing - a slightly longer clock hands won't hurt either

[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?

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!
