[REQ] WM6.5 Manila 2.1 Transparent Taskbar - Touch HD Themes and Apps

Hi Everyone,
I'm sure I'll be told that there are answers elsewhere on this forum, but I'll be damned if I can find them!
I want to make the taskbar and softkey bar transparent as can be achieved by Max's Theme Maker software (here), and also through the titanium plug-in, but in the Manila interface. The effect can be seen here in Antoniomistretta's awesome theme.
I have used Max's software in the past, but Dutty's new rom is currently unsupported and I was trying to find a separate cab/workaround that could do it. But as I've said, I keep coming up blank on my searches.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, especially links to the previous posts that I can't seem to find!
Cheers

Hi! I use for my themes HDWALL of Maranello and transparent taskbar work only rom with winmo 6.5!
Regards!

Which Dutty rom are you using? MaxTTM works fine for me on Leo R4 and all the latest builds of WM6.5, including the newer versions with the buttons on the bottom...

Hi Millski,
The Rom I'm using is his latest R14 rom for the 2.1 manila (it has the Hero weather info on the homepage.) I guess that's the reason that it won't work because the home page layout is different to previous ones so I guess I just need Max to release a new home layout.
But as I was going to be waiting for the new homepage, I wanted to use a workaround in the meantime and that's when I've been drawing a blank!
Antonio, thanks for your feedback. I am going to try HDWall now myself so thanks for the tip!
Cheers

No problem!

Guys he asked for the taskbar and soft key bar, not the curtains. Equally the home layout, and indeed the whole TF3D version has nothing to do with the taskbar or soft key bars - they are WM 6.5 components and using MaxTTM app (not Maxy's home layout, his app!) will allow you to skin those bars regardless of what UI you use (Titanium, TF3D etc) unless you have a third party taskbar app (ie WisBar).
There is a fault with the auto deployment - you have to go into the app and press convert to get it to soft reset, but that's the only problem

[Q] Icons for Rhodium/Topas aka Dutty XTREME Roms aka Manila V3

Hi guys
can someone tell me if there is a cab out there with tab icons for the new manila v3 (for exemple dutty XTREME roms)?
Would really appricieate it!
Btw, are the cabs for the manila v2 compatible with the manila v3 tabs?
Thanks in advance!
Ascenca
hi
the ammar TF3D v2 final works fine except for the stock icon
gr liangliem
htc hd, dutty xtreme v2.4
Does this cab also replace the calendar tab in the new manila v3? or is the stock icon the only missing one for manila v3?

I think you've miss understood him here. In this cab for the icons, the stock icon isn't missing it just isn't skinned. Installing this cab won't take an icon/tab away. The calendar tab will still be there as well and it will have a nice new icon!!!
Hope this helps!
Hi Pandemoniumone
it wasnt a missunderstanding at all
I think its only my english causing problems here With missing I ment it wouldnt be reskinned by the cab file.
My experiences are, that all cabs with tab icons which worked on the manila v2 do also work perfectly on the manila v3. So for now I am happy.
Another question:
Is it already known which manila files contain the remaining icons such as the new topaz/rhodium icons in the people details tab (the one where u can select all the stuff related to a contact). Would also want to know if somebody knows in which manila files I can change the sound tab icons.
Hope I could explain my request right.
Greetz and thanks for the help.

Oh sorry, I see what you're saying now. In that case I believe you are correct. The stock icon is the only one that will not be skinned.
Hopefully we will see some new sets of icons out soon for the new manila, that would be great!
I'm afraid I don't have any answers for your next questions. Except maybe flashing Dutty's 2.5 rom that has this built into the rom.

[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?

Someone from us speak very bad English i think
I write in the first post:

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!

I meant 3.6, seems to work fine both on manila 2.0 and 2.1 versions. And I use Lucarp78 Transparent Slider too which is also working. Now all I need is to get rid of the bottom curtain like I said...
Hey,
For the bottom curtain to be removed overwrite three manila files in the Windows directory with these ones courtesy of BadCluster..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=165817&d=1236866344
The filename is Slider because it also makes that transparent, if you've installed another one don't worry it won't conflict.
works on Duttys
Also you might be interested in removing the lines in between Call History and Calendar? If so check out this post by tsowen (and his .cabs)...

Thanks man, all perfect now and don't need to do them one by one anymore.
cool! so much better without the curtains
All ROMs?
Hi
Hopefully this isn't too naive a question; will this remover the top curtain in all ROMs, or is it specifically designed for Dutty's ROMs only?

it is for Dutty and Rhodium Basted ROMs
I think it would work on any latest Manila V2 or V2.1
I have Miri's WM 6.5 v 23 with manila 2.1 and Dutty's .cab makes my top curtain become all white, luckily it can be uninstalled and manila reverts back to original.
Now I've got to find some other solution for that ugly top curtain
this doesn't worn on new dutty roms like the R5

What taskbar icons are you using? (WM6.5)

Hi! I'm trying to replace my taskbar icons and I can't find something nice. I hate icons that are TOO colorful or too small to see.
For example, I enjoyed these icons on WM6.1, even if the WiFi icon didn't work properly. But these don't work in WM6.5. I liked gtrab's X seris too, but I guess he discontinued them.
I would also like to have the SE logo as the start menu icon, and also the bouncing logo as a waiting cursor, with transparency (possible in WM6.5).
Of course, the icons have to be compatible with WM6.5 (21874) and Manila 2.1.1919.
Any suggestions?
Nobody wants to share their taskbar icons? I can't believe that all of you use WM6.5 with stock icons. Or WM6.1.
These are the ones I used to have on my phone until I decided to go back to the stock icons. I preferred using the 5b version for the numerical battery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520547
More or less the same as the ones u linked except these are for 6.5 . Can't remember if it had the animated SE logo or not tho. Probably not.
I use this one but no SE start logo or bouncing waiting cursor for you...
Thanks, Euqrad, I think that's exactly what I was searching for.
Mopal, I'll also try the dusk icons, they look nice and discreet.
Wow thanks Euqrad, this taskbar is perfect !
@darthmelk
Well you made me miss those taskbar icons so I decided to use them again and put together a cab for the taskbar iconset D v5b including the battery percentage fix from here which includes the SE wait animation from here. Works just fine on my X1i so I thought I'd pop it in here in case you wanted to give it a try.
Credits goes to the respective owners/creators of these icons and I apologize in advance if I shouldn't have done this.
That is perfect, it works excellent, exactly what I wanted!!! Thank you very much!!! My X1 looks nice again!
