[Q] How do I adjust the taskbar size? - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

Hi! Can anybody tell me how to adjust the size of the task bar and menu bar on my TP2 (WM 6.5 stock rom from Sprint)? I want to maximize the Rhodium's big screen when I use Word Mobile. The task bar and bottom bar makes the screen look cramped when I write emails in landscape mode. I've been looking for a registry tweak or an application which could do this, but I have'nt succeeded yet. I have tried Advance Configuration Tool but it did not work. It would be nice if there's a taskbar and menubar that would not occupy that much space, probably just an icon on four corners for some functions like the Menu, Exit, etc. Or a minimizable taskbar.. I'll appreciate it if someone could give me links.. Thanks for reading this!

No can do.

Ah, so this can't be done? Too bad.. Is there any option? Ive tried transparent taskbars but it's only transparent on the theme. Thanks for the quick (and concise answer)!

Is there a way to change a program's icon. Some programs such as TCPMP have icons that I'd just rather not look at. Is there anyway that I could edit to icon to my liking. Thanks
Transparent Icons
Greetings all... I'm currently editing my Welcome Center slider panel to show my custom apps. I am in dire need of instructions to make icons transparent. I am searching for icons for my panels and I know there's some editing needed to make them transparent and "glossy" for that polished look.
1) Which program should I use to edit?
2) Where do I get this program?
THANKS!
Try photoshop, I said something to you about this in another post on another thread, like 5 minutes ago.

Icon issues
Hello All,
I was hoping someone might be able to help me out I am running Kavana's 6.1 rom and when I hit the start menu button it switches to the recent programs menu but no icons will display until I hit the all programs button. Sometimes they show but 80% of the time they dont and was wondering if anyone knew a way to fix this. Thank You!
Weird... Reinstall the ROM maybe ?
I’m a little bit of an organization/customization freak, especially with my phone, so I customized every panel I could. I even photoshoped up a few of my own icons. I attached a few pics of the panels, there's about 31 icons in the zip. Enjoy
EDIT
Heres some quick instructions
Unzip the file and dump the icons u want in the \Windows folder, then use CHome Configurator to set targets to the icons you want to use
Any chance off uploading your reg files for your "My Programs"
Please
In what folder do i upload this zip?
\Windows folder
Do i just dump everything there? or create a folder?

Very pretty! Say... Can I borrow your icon for the Weather Options and use it in my .cab file ? Would I flatter myself too much if I was to assume that the shortcut you made points to the options panel of my CHome Weather application ?

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.

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

how to enable clock and battery in title bar of wm6.1???
I have been searching a lot for a solution to enable BOTH the clock and the battery indicator in the title bar of stock ROM of my Sprint Touch Pro wm6.1, but I have had no success. Does anyone know of a good registry hack to do this?
Microsoft must be very stupid! Why do they make us choose between either have the clock or the battery? Don't they know that we need both? How about an easy way of letting the user choose which icons should be seen on the title bar?
I wish a nice programmer would come up a program to re-design the title bar and the comm manager so that clicking on the title bar would open up a nicer comm manager with big finger friendly toggle switches for all kinds of things or what ever the user want to be there. I would be glad to donate.

BattClock 1.2 is a good concept, but the clock and the batt are too small. Kind of strains my eyes. I wish this program was able to get an independent battery icon in the title bar instead of trying to fit the battery and clock in the same spot.
Hi
Alternately use pbar as task manager instead of HTC one, have batt clock, BT/ Wifi/ Phone on off options in taskbar with system info and few shortcuts of most opened programs. Been using it since WM 5 times. The best of lot
im just looking for it to work in 6.5 like it did in 6.1 battery when your in tf3d and the clock when you have any window open.

pbar does not work with TF3D on my Sprint Touch Pro. It freezes TP3D. So it is not an option.
A simple solution for having both clock and battery in title bar of wm6.1
New version of Ariel Battery v2.1 has the ability to be placed anywhere along the title bar of wm6. Unlike other battery applications, it is a simple application that uses very little CPU. It gives you a battery guage and it writes the percent remaining underneath the battery guage. You can adjust the colors of the battery too. It is just like the iPhone's battery icon, but you can customize this one's color and location along the title bar. Just click on the Ariel battery in the title bar of wm6, click tools, setup, and on top of menu find where it says, "Pos:" and use the left-right arrows to move the battery icon anywhere along the title bar you want. I wish Microsoft was smart enough to have included a little app like this in wm6. So thanks to the maker of Ariel Battery, my battery problem is now solved!!!
so could we have the clock only show in landscape with this ariel app?

[Q] Has anyone figured out how to have trannsparent bottom curtain on HTCSense 2.1?

shellres.(The dpi of your device here).dll is responsible for the top bar.
to edit the icons you need to edit that one, it's responsible for the slider icons..
transparency is a function of the theme you use.
Have a look at HDwall for that part.

isn't it possible to edit some things in wm so the topbar becomes transparant?
nobody????
Also tried (almost) all cab's and "tricks" available.......unfortunately nothing worked.....I have QVGA.....
i read it has something to do with themes... now just know how themes work
If you are looking to make the taskbar and / or softkey bar of the homescreen in wm6.5 transparent then you are out of luck as I spent tons of time looking into this and it's not possible.
I did find one way that gives the look of transparency and it looks really cool., but it will require Photoshop / WM registry editor and some math. It's really down to replacing the .png images with sections cut out of your background image giving the impression the bars are not seperate from the background.
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Fo...v/thread/79a35cd3-91db-4941-b8a9-1106a9425615
One downside though: if you set it up in portrait and then rotate the screen it stretches the images... still looking for a way around that, but on a day to day basis I can live with that.
Note: QVGA top and bottom bars are 26px and VGA are 52 in WM6.5. I believe in WM6 it's 25px and 50px, but I cannot check that directly.
Try HERE, its as close as you can get to taskbar transparency.
For Icons, like it was said before, edit the .dll's.

The original question needs to be defined a little clearer, as this answer refers to the 'Windows Default' plugin on your Today Screen, while I referenced changing the top and bottom bars on the Today Screen itself. Hopefully one of these answers the original thread question.

But this only works if you use the 'Windows Default' today screen plugin as per both of the screenshots you attached. If you don't use that today screen plug in and use something like SPB Pocket Plus (screenshot I attached) you still have solid color top and bottom bars even if you loaded in a 'Windows Default' transparent top and bottom bar theme.
hi people..how I change color clock of wm 6.5 top bar (in upper right corner.. is white,and i want change to black)
