Anyone know of any transparency cabs for start menu and manila curtain?
I search the forums but couldn't find one for the start menu and curtain
Update on this, i found the start menu transparency cab from the Sense 2.5 tweaks.. but still missing the manila curtain cab.
There's a top curtain transparency cab and a 50% bottom curtain, but what i'm looking for is the "middle curtain" when you scroll long the slider. Anyone know of this?
i think this is what you r after

Hi Jeewadj, i checked through the post, but couldn't find what i want. what i'm looking for is sort of like a middle curtain transparency, but all i could find are top and bottom curtain cabs.. any ideas?
bit confuzled about what you want post a screen shot and explain mate
hi i thought you were after a transparent slider ?? is that what you r after or please post a example
Hi guys
sorry for the confusion.. it's abit diff to take a screenshot. i'll try to describe it.
When you slide your finger across the slider, the curtain for manila shows you where you're going..(Home -> People -> ..) it greys out the whole screen with just an icon and the description.
What i'm trying to do is removing the greying out of the whole screen. This greying out happens between the top curtain and slider itself.
Hope this helps
try this one i think i no what you mean
Cool!!1 Thanks very much demon. That's exactly what i'm looking for!
WOW, i love it. this is one of the custom i being searching for. Thanks Demon_Man

Is there a quick fix to change the top and bottom task bar opacity in windows mobile 6.5?
in pre 6.5, the top and bottom taskbars were colours dependent on the theme .tsk files.
in 6.5, the top and bottom task bars are semi transparent to reveal the wallpaper behind it.
Is there a way, either through registry or a cab to change it to semi transparent 6.5 mode, and back to pre 6.5?
added a screenshot so u guys can see. as u can see, the top task bar, where the "Start" and "X" button are, is semi transparent, showing the background picture
the bottom taskbar, where the word "lock" is, is black, hiding the background wallpaper
this is from NRG's rom, where it apparently can be done, as u can see the top is transparent bottom is not
anyone have a fix, to make it transparent or not, whether registry or cab (cab preferable of course)
look through your windows directory, and find black_taskbar.png and black_softkey.png. Copy those and edit them however you want drop them back in windows and overwrite existing.
sorry, but what did u mean by edit them? wouldnt that just change the colour not opacity anyway?

The 2 files are solid black images. While I have had limited success in transparencies (Windows seems to strip the transparencies in my files)... I have had luck doing a cheap trick:
Take your desired wallpaper and use the top and bottom portion to replace the bars. You can see my rom's theme here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=517490&highlight=player911
while i understand your workaround, but wouldnt it default again the moment u change .tsk files? also, it doesnt let u change wallpapers on the fly, which is one of my main concerns

they're there... maybe hidden. It's "black_taskbar.png" and "black_softkeybar.png".
WM6.5 themes include top and bottom bars. So it's up to the theme to have matching graphics. Granted you can't change wallpapers on the fly using my method, but creating the top and bottom bar is super easy and if you just paste them in the Windows folder they'll take on a reboot.
Your goal is to simply make the taskbars semi-transparent black like the homescreen. PNG files support this but seems to be ignored by the OS. I put a semi-transparent layer on my graphics but had to flatten the image (make it one) for it to work.
Perhaps try a single semi-transparent black layer. Maybe it isn't stripping the transparent layer as much as just removing additional layers.
When Titanium (Windows Default) is enabled, the top and bottom bars are semi-transparent when you're at the homescreen or in the start menu. Everywhere else, they are opaque. Titanium actually does the transparency to the bars, from what I've read.
@Jason, i know, but the problem is as u can see frm the screenshot, the bottom part isnt becoming semi transparent

i've found the files, copied them from another rom, pasted into this rom and overwrite, but still, same problem as seen from the screenshot above. perhaps its not that file?
could someone perhaps upload in a zip, the files from their devices in question, so that i may try it out?
to clarify, it works perfectly fine in today screen. but NOT in start menu screen, as shown in the screenshot. so perhaps its a different png file, since its the start menu?
so....anyone got anything? i've tried much so far, no avail
I thought the bottom bar in the start menu was transparent too by default. Have you tried other's roms and see if it's the same?
all roms are fine except NRG's. maybe he did it intentionally for his rom. but it shows it can be done. but how. (have asked in his thread a few times, no reply from him)
Amarullz, or anybody else,
Is it possible to make a compact home tab? Removing the top curtain "carrier name", and the calendar shortcut, than adding the shortcut buttons, like the picture attached?
I am not a developer..

no one is interested in this? if someone know somebody who is capable to do this compact manila tab, I appreciate.
I wanted to do this too but i would like to keep everything but resize all of the items to fit in one screen
Well, I've been working on this off and on for about two weeks now. My problem is when it load manila initially the top curtain is gone, but when you move to a different tab and move back, the curtain reappears. I've tried lots of stuff and can't get it to stay gone. You can see the problems I'm having in the 2nd and 3rd shots.
I'll keep working, but if you want it as is for now. I've attached a cab. I've also run into a problem with the shortcuts covering up the top time info on the shortcuts screen. Should I just remove that top time info?
It includes 20 shortcuts and background for all tabs.
Just replace the top bar graphic with a blank one or change the height of it to 0 in 3a8e04af_manila.
Hello,
1. can someone tell me how to get the taskbar as transparent as on the home tab on the other tabs? if you switch to the 2nd tab to the last one they are opaque. This looks very strange while having a transparent tasbar at the bottom.
2. how can I get rid of those dark frames around the music player slider in the music tab. They look pretty nasty while having a bright wallpaper.
both things shown in the attachment.
Thx in advance!
Here you go
you can find a lot more in the sticky's at first page

1. Install TouchX transparent music controls background"
2. I don't quite understand your question... Are you talking about the slider? or the taskbar? Have you allready installed a transparent slider .cab? (and is this not working correctly for you?)
Grtz,
Degake
Thank you guys! Music controls background is exactly what I was looking for!
The slider unfortunately not
I am looking for a slider that looks like the original one does on the home tab. It is semi-opaque there. If you switch to any other tab except the home tab it will get non-transparent as seen in my picture on the first tab. On the home tab you can still grasp the wallpaper through it.
So I don't want a fully transparent one as from TouchX.

Hmmm....so you want a semi-opaque slider fore al the tabs, as far as i know there is no semi-opaque slider only a transparent one.
I just want the same slider transparency level that it already has on the home tab. On any other tab on the slider automatically changes to non-transparant!!
push! nobody any clue?

Get the transparent CAB above, then add te semi-transparent to your wallpaper manually (via photoshop). Make sure you have "Background 4 all tabs" first.
If you don't have one, I recommend Co0kie Home Tab because it has many option (including the All Tabs Background) in just one CAB.

I remember looking into this several months ago for exactly the same reasons you give.
As there is definitely only one manila file for this slider background/curtain, I decided that there must be some additional code on the pages themselves that affect how transparent/opaque it is.
Unfortunately I have never mastered that level of code change, so I gave up and just went for the fully transparent look as that is at least consistent across all tabs (see following screenshot).

touch x has one check link.

Not so. The slider is the same semi-transparent on all tabs, it's just the background there on most tabs other than the home tabs are dark. Check the images tab with part of an image behind the slider and you will see that it is indeed the same semi-transparent slider.
Hi there!
I've got 2 problems:
I have Dikin icons and taskbar, but when i instal the 1.3 DIKIN slider, nothing will change, just the default standard slider. When I install 1.6/1.7, i have another problem. When I restart my device after the install, i will get a weird black screen with the word "title" in it and i can see my taskbar. But just a black screen in the middle.
Another question: How do I get battery info and my clock in the taskbar at the same time, like the screenshots of the DIKIN taskbar?
Greetz
ps. sorry for my bad english
I was wondering the same thing about the task bar , I only get the clock not the battery

First of all way did you post a separate thread; and not on the Thread about this stuff??
Secondly witch device/Rom/Manila version do you have?
And thirdly did you read/follow the installation instructions?
It's important to install the cab's on internal memory.
Before I start let me stress ive done searches on here and google but nothing is relating to the hd2
Please see the pic attached
I would like to change the font of the bottom task bar "Phone" "Menu" on the today screen (circled yellow) and the font colour of the home screen where all the apps live (the font where the names of the apps are showed)
I want my overall theme to be black and blue
I was hoping this can be done via reg edit or cab... without having to create a new theme.
Cheers guys
I think "SK Tools" can do it....
Its a paid app.
cheers mate ill look into it thanks for the reply
it is possible via the registry but I cant remember where...........
sorry
