Home screen customization help

I am trying to figure out how to get my top bar to either be transparent, or black. Also when i go into NRG weather 3.0 options, the text is in cursif, as well as text in other places on the phone, totally unreadable. Anyone know how i can fix these two problems? Sorry if its been answered before, but i have searched, as well as just browsed 1000 posts for hours, cant seem to find a solution. Thx in advance for any help!

Yah I know, I still love this phone over the G1, only thing I wish this phone had was more Ram and of course 3G... that would seal the deal on the phone if it had that...

Fonts worked great! Thanks alot. However i cannot figure out how to delete the CHome_Iconbar_background file. Cannot delete it on the phone, or from the computer. I tried to turn off the iconbar and then delete, and that still didnt seem to work.

Which ROM you using? Guessin Ricky since then it would make sense you can't delete it since it's in the ROM.
If not then turn off the media Top Bar restart then try and delete.

yep, rickys. anyone know if its possible to maybe just disable the background?

Well i found ONE background that would make the bar transparent! So looks good now, not exactly what i wanted, but not bad. Now once i figure out how everyone gets the weather apps integrated with clock/date tab ill be all set

Amazing wallpapers... I love them... I was just wondering does the dash have a program that changes wallpapers every so often like automatically?

Very interesting question, all i found so far is one for Symbian...

changing backround image -> too bright?

Hi there...
I just got mine and first thing I wanted to change was the background image.
1) disabled TouchFlo3D in settings->home>elements
2) tried to set background image
my problem: The background image appears very bright almost white, so i cant really see it and because it is so white i almost cant read any words...
Any suggestions?
Thanks
AO

any idea ? no one?

bump it up, baby

use the pic and video viewer and select the picture (you know hold your finger or stylus so it does the lil circle thing) then pick the set as today background option and it will let you set the transparency level it will only work with the standard WM screen (thats what i call the screen from the wing anyway) and not touch flo

Hey, you posted this same question on another thread in the Themes section. It's already been answered. Don't start multiple threads going forward please. It just makes a mess and it seems you can't even track all of them when they've been responded to.

ok... sry ..
And thanks for the answer: worked well!

[Q] Some minor questions

Hi!
After spending a few hours searching for answers for simple things, I have to resort to actually ask here. So please how can I:
1. Change the colour/style of taskbar? I mean for it to resemble W6.1, some application like RC MOD.
2. How do I change the menu size/style to the old one? Or at least smaller?
Thanks!

Probably should try asking in the WinMo subforum or the Kaiser-specific one.

Now I'm playing with HTC Touch Pro 2 (my signature is not update ).

some ideas for you

You could try searching for Vicsoft's UI tweaker. It will let you customise lots of system colours
As for your second question, do you mean the start menu ? when you click on the windows icon on the top left corner of your screen ?
If so, you could try JUVS HTC Enlarge start menu. Again, try searching as I can't remember where I found it

This application?
http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/uitweaker.shtml
Is it even possible to get back the old style WM61 bars?
As for my second question I meant pop-up (context) menus, but I'v already found some applications which could help.

Yes, that's the one. Be sure to go through all the menus and make a note of your current colour settings, as once you get started, it's easy to forget what you had before.
Interestingly enough, whilst playing around with this utility, (there are actually 4 combined I think?) I was able to change the background colour on the program and settings page , and the signal bars colour on the task bar from white to cream, even though your not supposed to be able to do that
Never was able to replicate it though after a hard reset because I FORGOT to take a note of my settings
I'm not sure what you mean about the menus, sorry
Good luck

Garrickus

If you can't, then PM me and I'll give you some registry tweaks that will do this.

[Q] Notification Bar not changing with Theme Changes...

Sorry if this has been asked already, which I'm sure it has. I did a search and couldn't find anything.
I think I knew the answer to this a while ago, but I can't figure it out. I've done a few reboots, but still I can't get the respective Theme I chose to be the pull down widgets/notifications bar.
Also on my old CM7 rom, I had a red theme and it changed my Torch icon, my handcent, and a few other non-default apps. That's not happening now.
Is there something else I'm supposed to do besides a reboot?

It's any of the themes. Even when selecting Cyanbread, everything else goes blue, but the pull down widgets/bar still remains green from the default theme.

try booting into recovery and format "cache partition" boot into phone and change you theme to the one you want. then go settings>applications>manage applications> and force close "status bar" it will refresh the bar.
if it doesnt work then you might have to back up you phone and wipe all and flash the rom over.

You need to add a static string, and type it in that.

thanks for the reply... but like i said it looks too confusing.. what you said makes no sense to me lol
Can you explain yourself a little please? thanks

Yea, this app was really confusing to figure out.
You go into the settings, and under Layout go to Custom Layout.
Press the little green plus button and it will bring up different categories. You can drag and drop any of these - time, date, battery - into the rows above.
To just insert a static character, go to the Misc section and drag the "static text" to wherever you want it. Then tap where you dragged it to and it will bring up a text box to enter the character you want. Once I'm done I just press the back button until I get to the main settings menu and then press ok.
Pressing the green box button on the right will insert a new row so you can drag things into it, and the red one will delete rows.

Thanks.
I found a video on youtube too that helped me out aswell
