Always smarter to do a little research before posting. Don't want to annoy anyone in the forums, especially when a question is easily answered with a simple search. ;-)
Hope this helps.
I know how to make everyday run-of-the-mill themes, but what i want to know is how to make themes where both the top and bottom bar are also the same as the picture and not just coloured, similar to the one in the pic i've uploaded
I guess it's not real today themes, it use prog like Wisbar advanced.
Correct me if I'm wrong

Yes, I think you're correct. Use Wisbar. Their site has all the info you'll need to create theme's like that. You'll also see other nice theme's.

That one looks like one of the animated flash themes (the grass moves gently as if in a breeze...) - I don't think it's Wisbar.

I have made a new theme for my new HTC Diamond, as the one I made for my artemis no longer looked right, as the image was stretched. So I have re-made it and decided to release it into the community, as there are so few VGA themes which look nice on the HTC Diamond
- It's both VGA and QVGA ready, as well as Landscape/Portrait ready
- There's a nice glassy/ripple effect on the start menu
- All of the system colours have been adjusted to suit
- Looks great in WM2003/WM5/WM6/WM6.1
- Really suite the HTC Diamond's looks
Download and more information HERE
If you want to link to this, please don't link to the executable file, but to the project page instead.
Please tell me what you think of my theme, I may make more in the same fashion if you all like it...
why have you disabled the tf3d.

Not everyone likes TF3D, I eventually got annoyed with it because the home page doesn't show tasks at all and seems buggy when it comes to displaying calendar entries. I've got nothing against TF3D, but at the end of the day I need a home screen that shows the necessities and anything that doesn't meet that basic requirement, no matter how pretty it is, is useless.
Use SecondToday !!!
However... can you make a theme with black glossy 3D Bars, like the grey you've posted?

1: I've not actually disabled TouchFlo 3D, as that image was captured from the Windows Mobile Device Emulator, as you can see in the screenshot, so it's not running an HTC rom with TouchFlo 3D in it.
2: I have not only disabled TouchFlo 3D on my actual Diamond, I have flashed a new rom to it without the blasted thing even installed, as I find it an irritating waste of RAM and ROM. There are things i'd much rather use my system RAM for than some pretty interface. As the guy above has stated, it is lacking in several key areas, and is such quite useless for more advanced users such as myself.

I don't quite understand what you mean here... Do you want me to make a theme with the same background, but with the upper and lower bars in gloss black?

Just grabbed this from you, mate, and a huge congrats!!! I will endeavour to throw some cash your way for your efforts. Thanks so much for this.
I have been messing with some icons, most of the images are grabbed from google images and cropped with paintshop pro.
The set includes comm manager, call history and callender icons, if you use them. Included is a custom slider. I am just trying to get Nisse's 3 icon menu to work with the extra icons, so I'll update the post when and if I do.
Invisible tray icons on post 11.

Clear Ring Slider & Invisible Program Back
What it says in the title, the slider should work with all tabs.
I have tweaked the ring slider, moved it up and over a few pixels, it looks better so I have replaced the .cab with a new one.

Done a few more sliders

Some coloured oval sliders:

InvisibleTrayIcons
Following an idea suggested to me by Dynomite232 I have made a .cab with 13 invisible tray icons. This means that if you use this .cab you will only see the hero, the big icon which pops up in the middle and the one selected inside the slider, nice if you like your wallpaper!
Edits, I think it should work with any theme.
Invisible slider, good with these icons.

thats right i realy like the look its so clean now
Unique, thanks for the "no background in programs tab"...it works great. However when i use any of your sliders they are offset to the left of the screen by about 25%. I am on a stock sprint rom with some mods to TF3d (flip clock, taskbar icons, no curtains and icons). Do you know of any reason that this would be occurring?
nice work... I was thinking on doing this too...just a couple

I don't know the reason but It is no trouble for me to do sliders which would be offset to begin with and would therefore show in the correct place. Which sliders would you like to use? and I'll move them over a bit for you. Maybe you could post a screenshot so that I can see exactly how much it needs to be moved.
Predator Sliders
These are done at the request of mbord, see if you like them, I think the transparency is too high in er...the transparent one.
More Sliders
Getting a bit obsessed here!
More sliders
Is it possible to edit the Manila files somehow to prevent the screen from dimming when you use the slider to switch screens?
Try This
If you are talking about removing the black shade that comes up when switching tabs, look in the Diamond forums here at post #6: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436867
I have not tried it, but it should work on the HD. If anyone knows differently, please say so.
EDIT:
Yep. Works. Very confusing visually for me, though. For future reference, the manila edits over on the Diamond forums tend to work on the HD, so you can search there, or a general search of the entire site.

That's great thanks. I see what you mean about it being confusing. It is hard to read if you have a light-colored wallpaper.
The reason I wanted this was I had installed the NoCurtains cab which removed the grey bars at the top and bottom of the TF3D screen, but then when I slide through the screens the middle bit of the screen goes grey but at the bottom and top where the "curtains" used to be you can see through to the wallpaper.

Cool. I think you can probably come up with a color scheme that works with this. I was messing around a bit, and found that it was really the white stock manila clock that made it hard to see, as I generally start to flip through the tabs from there. If the clock is black or smaller, etc. it works pretty nicely.
Okay, I'm brand new to themes. I just edited my first Manila today. I edit the slider as I hate the solid black ugly thing. Right anyways, now I have edited it looks way better IMO. But when I slide it onto a different tab the transparency dies. How can I make it so it doesn't stop being transparent? I use Mun_Rus's background all the same for the tabs.
My next question... I have a brightly multicoloured wallpaper, how can I change the text from white to black because its really hard to read?
Thanks, Chris
Good luck man, I have been trying to get a good tutorial on how to make this kind of thing for a while and its hard most people are busy doing their own thing or making themes themselves. I cant seem to even get the damn icons to change all the way, I get like one working and a white screen or all working and a white slider. If I ever get it right on my own I will try to put together a tutorial. Although ohyeahar was pretty helpful so you might ask him hes the only person who responded to me.
The 2 things you're trying to do have been done before. Perhaps you can just build off other members' works.

For the slider, just try searching for "transparent slider" or "glass slider". There's so many of them.
Justin, you still need help man? Let me know! Cheers!

You want the taskbar to be same as background image or do you want it black? You'r post is kinda confusing, but if I understand you correctly here are your choices:
1. Flash a WM 6.5 ROM. That'll give you "transparent" taskbar at top and bottom while accessing the start menu (but only there).
2. Create your own theme for WM with your preferred picture as taskbar (at least I think this is possible, but I never tried.
3. Find some third party software that adds a layer on top of the taskbar. MaxManila might do the trick if you're using Manila. Don't know if there are any other alternatives...
yep basically i wanted to be able to see all of my wallpaper instead of having a black taskbar, i dont use manilla or titanium, even though i have 6.5 i may just use titanium because i can see all the picture then, just being fussy i guess
