I try to do a cab for u i hope it works

TNX a lot. This is what I need. When I tried the fully transparent one, I could see letters on some tabs mixing with menu icons. Didn't like it.
Thank you once again, bro.

That is really good! If it's possible, do you think you could make it as the home tabs transparency? without the blackscale? so they match equally?
That would be terrific! And maybe extend the transparency down to the menu bar?
Cheers mate!

I have done a cab file for my own transparant slider, if u have any ideas for a nother slider, just send me a pm

up to to the top

is it possible to create a cab that can make semitransparent bottom and top bar?

yes i think so, i can fix it later, i have a lots of homeworks to do tonight

some pics howe your semitransparent bottom bart looks like would be great!

Attention with that one, it kinda ****ed up my TouchFlo. Installed it, rebooted, and then it only said "tap here to start touch flo 3d" and if tapped it said "starting touch flo" for some seconds and then reverted back to "tap here..."
After uninstallation it works again but keeps asking me to tap the screen to start TouchFlo when I turn on the device which really sucks. Any way to get it back to automatic start?

Great mod! Now my TF3D is perfect: transparent top bar, semi transparent bottom bar, transparent flip clock, tranparent program tab, background image in every tab and change the background image every 30 mins automatically . It's better than iPhone !!!

strange then why doesn't it work for me? I got official 1.93 rom installed, and with the cab my touchflo won't start anymore.
Is there any other cab like this one floating around? I don't want to test the other cab from ricky, the first one in this thread cause its also from him and I expect similar problems.
But, what the real problem is with transparent bars is that you can see the text of the settings tab behind the slider bar, and I had a completely transparent bar before and in the programs tab it cut off the 4th row of buttons about halfway behind the sliderbar, the same was for the canvas' of pictures in the photo tab. isn't this partly visible also here, with a semi transparent bar?
you know what REALLY would rock? a kind of smaller sliderbar, about half thick so that it matches with the cutoff line of the pictures and the program buttons. Is something like that possible or even done?
I mean something like this, the reddish tint I added means the solid slider bar and above it should be transparent.

Bump.
I would be interested in a semi-transparent bottom bar with the same transparency as the one for the Home tab, but haven't got a clue how to go about it. Can anyone assist please? The .cab posted by RichardTenggren is semi-transparent, but is darker than the one on the Home tab.
I am aware that there are plenty of fully transparent ones, but I would prefer a semi-transparent version.

Wow, nice work!
One problem, the stock icons are not included and remain default.
Is it possible for you just make a cab for the icon set you're using??

Let me know if you need a hand porting any over.

First of all, thank you very much for your quick reply
Sorry to say, but there are a few problems with the icons.
I'm missing the colored icon when a tab is selected.
And the stock icon remains default.
I've included some screenshots to explain the problems.
Could you solve it somehow?
Thankz!!

That is an interesting one. I've never seen that happen with the calendar tab. The stocks tab is default. I never made an icon for it. I'll try and fix this tonight(except the stocks tab).

Love the look of that theme. I thought I'd try it on my TP2 and it worked perfectly 1st time. Can't wait to see what else you can come up with.
Actually I have just found that there are a few icons missing. When you go to a person in your contacts the slide bar at the bottom defaults to the HTC TF3D standard although when highlighted the message, email and cal history tabs show up with your theme but the centre screen icon doesn't.

This issue i already know about. My original idea was to have those icons stay the same but they use the same icons for both the home slider and this submenu slider so i couldn't find away around that. Maybe I will get my themes to go deeper. I dunno i'll have to sit down and play with that once i get some time.

Great looking theme and blue is my favorite color! Nice work!

@ Bxteez: glad to meet you here from Xperia forum!
Can you point me at the cab for the icons only?
I would like to keep my theme black but would like to change the icons.
In case you have further links for icons, very thankful in advance!

Thanks a mighty for a simple yet cool looking blue theme dude

Nice looking theme, but when I've installed it my fonts are black.
Were the white fonts included in the theme or is there something else I need to change?

I have tried it and it works ok, both in portrait and in landscape.
Thank you very much!

Anyone interested in a theme with less blue but still a small hint of it.
something like this

Yes please!
I got the blue one working after using a cab from the Topaz section. All fonts OK now!

Theme added to first post. Enjoy

very classy. i like it

I have a new background for my blue theme. It has a slight problem of being almost the same shade of grey as some of the text. If people wanna try it out and let me know if you want this in a theme

Does anyone wanna try my new blue theme?? I don't want to have to revert my tf3d back just to test it especially since i didn't use a cab

Changing start menu + black manilla background while sliding

Hello everyone,
I have some problems with manilla.
To make sure that you guys understand what I mean and how I want it I have some pictures
Here on picture one you can see how my manilla is after installing a hdwall cab file.

}
Now I am going to make the top and bottom bar transparent.
So I open the program called "Max TTM" and go towards the "wm6.5" section.
But without a default wallpaper set in manilla I can't make the bars transparent.
So I go towards my manilla settings and select a other wallpaper by using this setting:
After that I have selected the same wallpaper as I used for my cab file for the theme I go back to the Max TTM program.
I clicked on the convert button and the program start processing and reboots automatically.
After the reboot this is my result:
Looks good but once I go to my messages I get this strange effect:
Anyone who knows how to solve this?
Thanks a lot if you guys could help me and I wish all of you a merry Christmas.
EDIT
And I have to other things which I would like to be solved:
Here you can see that the bars stay transparent and that the middle gets black transparent...
Is their any way to include the bars into the black transparent section while sliding?
Or is their a way to make the black transparent into white transparent?
And when I click on start:
The middle is black and the bars are 100% white transparent.
Is their a way to make this black also 100% transparent?
I did find this thread:
But when I try to install it, it says install was unsuccessful.
Hope you guys can help me.

Search my friend. Use the link in my sign to search. I have seen a thread with the files you are looking for.

I will search one more time
Already did it yesterday from 10 pm until 3 am and wasn't able to find it

Oke I found this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=587646&highlight=transparent )
about making the black transparent but it already is...
The only thing I would like to do is changing this black into white so invisible or to make the black take position over the whole screen.
Am I following your instructions correct or not
EDIT
Also found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=546746
But this was about making the slider transparent and making the clock transparent.
EDIT
And as last I found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=593378
But I can't get the cab installed

Anyone who knows how to solve these problems?

It appears that when you make the top and bottom transparent, it is actually taking your image and "slicing" part of it to put as the background to make it "appear" transparent but it's really just a background image for the top and bottom. Kind of like cookie cutting the sections of the puzzle but leaving it together as the completed image...
When you go to another tab, maybe it's shifting the middle image. I think I saw this behavior in some ROMs I flashed before and I found a small executable running called posfix.exe or something to that affect and I figured it was for a "position" fix to address the different screen resolutions.
Keep in mind I could be totally wrong with both assumptions! I'm just a user!

Oké, thanks for your reply.
I found out that it does work in the wm6.5 default interface but that's because it does not have different tabs.
I also found out what the actual problem is
The cabs which are made by HDWALL have a resolution of 480x696.
That could mean that the other x104 is used for the bars.
And since HDWALL is resizing I suppose that I would have to cut the pictures on the top and on the bottom to make sure that they fit.

Resolution problems of bars solved!
Oke I solved the problem with the bars.
This is what I did:
- I converted the big picture into a 400x800 picture.
- HDWALL converted it into a picture of 400x696
- I selected in the settings menu of manilla my 400X800 wallpaper as default.
- I went to Max TTM and selected that the bars should be transparent on my default wallpaper.
Now I only have the problem of the black background and start menu left

Clock in Screenshots
Hi rick94
I'm sorry to be off topic but I was wondering if you had or knew the source of the transparent Sense 2.1 clock in your screenshots as separate installer and/or manila files.
Thanks
andrew-in-woking

I believe it was this one:

try using this to clear it up

Thanks I'm going to check it out.

Unfortunately it didn't worked for me

Question about modifying Slider

I've almost got my phone 100% the way I want it, more like 99.5%. Last thing I want to change is the slider. I don't really mean the slider and icons. I want the icons to stay the same. Most cabs will modify both slider and icons. Here is my home screen. I'm not sure what the correct nomenclature is, but the area behind my icons is a blueish color. I want to make it a two tone black/grey sort of like the top of the phone. Is it a matter of dropping some sort of image file into the manilla directory overwriting the existing one? Or is it more involved requiring replacing the icons as well? Any info or pointers on what/how I can change this would be much appreciated. I'm sure the info is out there I'm just not plugging in the right search criteria.
If it makes a difference I am running Sense 2.1

I would suggest using the "Remove Both Curtains" cab file. What this should do is make that blue hue clear - you will see the black background of your screen.

It does make a difference . If you are on PPCG, chuckz07 has posted a fix using mode9 edits. Here's the link (I don't think I've posted enough here so I'm stripping the beginning part h t t p)
forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=97345
It doesn't change the icons, just the slider. The files at the beginning of the thread are for the rom you are using where you have the small slider. If you look later on you will find where I have posted a modification that allows for a wider clear slider for those roms that have/need a wider clear slider.

Awsome. This finally did the trick. The C07 transparent slider stuff i could never get to work. Also tried the Glass/Metal and the C07 fix and basic. But this one at least made the slider all black so I am happy Tab still has color but I don't mind that at all. Yay no more blue!

Manila/Sense 2.5 Tweaks by me

Okay, I only have a few of these to start off with but I've been getting really into making manila's layout as functionally transparent as possible. I know a couple guys already have a bunch of transparent clocks, sliders, contacts, etc. out there so I haven't done any of them (they all work the same) but there have been a couple areas really bugging me.
My first Tweaks have to do with the internet shortcuts in the Internet tab. Over the next couple days I will be updating this with Transparent other areas (such as the internet search bar, Twitter Title, and more. I hope you find these useful and can give me some feedback.
You know the drill: I have tested these on Energy.RHOD500.23519.Leo_04.Feb.2010 (Running Sense 2.5 build 2011) only, However they should work on any ROM running build 2011 of Manila 2.1 and should work on the earlier builds of manila 2.5. They are also completely uninstallable should you encounter any issues. Still though, I gotta say it: use at your own risk, yada yada. Don't blame me if aliens come and destroy your phone.

I don't think I understand, There are screen shots in the post. Were you asking for before shots as well as the after shots that are posted?
(this will work nicely as a reserved spot too, only have enough for one more attachment on the first post)

*reserved*

when did you add screenshots of them all? thats what i was asking. if you added screenshots when i posted that im sorry. they didnt load for me

I have a screen shot of each of the effects of them below their title. I can't however do a one screen shot of the effects of all of them because some are on different tabs but they are there. Hosted on photobucket, do you have photobucket blocked by some chance? I can PM you a different hosting location of them if you'd like, but they are there, odd...

no there working now but i was just wondering as you seemed confused with my request if you already had pics loaded but i didnt see them at the time. i see them now.

Ahhh, gotcha! Glad they are working now.

I tried your No.Slider.Bottom.Manila.2011-Boushh.cab with Manila 20113626 from Miri_HD2_WM65X_23529_Sense25_V3.2 but it does not work. The slider is still there. Can you check it again?
Many thanks,
NTD

It doesn't remove the entire slider, just the very bottom line of it. If you don't want any slider at all I can do that for you, seems kinda odd, but to each their own and an easy thing to cab up.

transparent quick links
Hi Boushh, is it possible to make transparent quick links (shortcuts on home tab) or just remove their frame?

Yes, however Santod already has that over at PPCGeeks, so I'll just link you to Here
He has some other nice mods too, enjoy!

background?
cool background! do you have the image so i can make it the background on mine?

could you do that? i cant find working cab for sense 2.5.2012 :/

transparent slider
Boushh, these are great!
BTW, which cab file did you use to make your slider transparent? I can't get mine to work using:
C07 Sense 2.5 trans Slider Mode 9 Fix V3.cab
UPDATE: found a cab that works - dega's transparent slider (manila 2.5.2011.3626).cab

how do i get my background transparent (today screen), not just the slider

Small globe icon and 3 across links
How do you get the small internet globe with text on the side and the 3 across links?

Nice thanks

Internet Tab
Do you know of a way to remove all quick link from internet tab.
Best would be if one is able to replace the quick link cubes for text in rows without thumb. Like it once was in Manilla before sense 2.5
If you know what manilla file to edit and one with some xml knowledge can fix you can point me into the right direction.
Any information about this would be appreciated.
