I was looking for some good themes. I tried the themes on freeware pocket pc and they didn't have a very wide variety and the ones I tried didn't even work. So if anyone could point me in the right direction and maybe some instructions on how to install them (I think maybe I am doing something wrong) Also I was wondering if anyone has found custom slider noises. Thanks for any help

And blue theme taskbar to go with it HERE.

Hello to All.....
I hate being a noobie with this stuff and I have done my fair share of searching & testing (with quite a few hard reboots) but I think I'm missing something here. In a lot of the different theme.cab pics I've seen, they will have both a clear clock and slider bar. But every time I install a theme.cab file it only has an effect on the wallpaper; not the clock or the slider. Are these separate "modification" that need to be done or should installing the theme.cab take care of it all?
I've played around with the Crystal Clock install but that has caused some problems and now I can't even uninstall. As far as transparent sliders....I can get nothing to work.
Does having a transparent clock or slider require some type of "root" installation of some other program first so whatever theme gets installed will take effect?
I've downloaded the HDwall program and have been playing with it for a bit but for the life of me I can't get a custom slider to work.
If this makes any difference I'm running a Verizon version of the TP2.
As I said, I hate asking but it's driving me nuts and I'm hoping someone can give me some direction as to how to get these themes fully working. This is certainly a lot different than the older themes I used on my Samsung i760.
Thanks much,
Brian
same problem
I've come across the the same problem. I've tried to install seperate clock cabs and also whole themes. In my case the clock never changes. I installed MaxTTM tried to install the custom clocks and they never work, I actually have to restore the theme to get the messed up clock off of it. tham
nks for the help.
Hey guys, this post may be of some significance to you Verizon users.
Since installing the Professional V2 theme, which I really like, I have lost the transparent slider. All I have is an opaque slider now. The screen below shows it where the home button should be.
I've tried installing additional sliders to get it back, but no luck and I've asked on the theme thread.
Can anyone help?
Looks like a transparent slider problem.
I had the same problem when using Energy's Rom and installing the dusk theme on it. I had to install a cab fix from that thread.
I'm not sure if it'll help you or screw your theme up since it's not the same as dusk. If it does i already apologize since im a noob when it comes to theme's

Look at Post 2 and in there you'll find an attached file called "Dusk_Manila_2.1_Transparant_Slider.CAB".
Maybe that could solve your problem.
That's perfect. Thank you for your help.
hi everyone. i still cant find the right theme that makes all the text white ontop of the black background.
can anyone help??
thanks
and i think ive found it
What did you end up choosing for your theme and where did you find it?
Please also share your device details so that others can know if what you found is compatible with their devices.
i tried the htc diamond theme using a picture of a black background, it was fine for a day or 2 but now the same thing has happened were some of the text keeps turning black so it cant be seen
I need the same thing for easy readability (I am legally blind)
I usually collect blacked out cabs (calc, dialer,etc) but the holy grail to me would be a fully inverted theme (especially the pesky screens like call logs etc)
Can anyone help?
hey bugsy, if i find one i will let you know, and if you find one please let me know aswell
cheers
Hi!
New around here so please be patient.
My HD2 is also my very first Windows Smart Phone, so please excuse my lack of knowledge.
My query is this:
I'm looking for a skin/theme (I'm not sure) that will make all wallpapers/backgrounds to appear blue.
Do I need to install just wallpapers, or will there be more I need to do to give my phone the nice blue I'm looking for.
Could any of you guys also please let me know where to find such a thing, and how I need to go about to install everything.
I've tried for the last few days to go through all these pages looking for help, but I get a bit overwhelmed by everything.
I've already got the blue theme selected in my Today folder, but I'd like all the backgrounds to appear a nice deep blue.
Also, is there any way to make the boxes surrounding the home screen's software buttons disappear? I'd still like the descriptive functions to be there but without those boxes.
I'd really love everything to be a nice smooth blue.
I'm sorry to ask these questions that will probably be silly to you guys, but I'd really like to get my new phone the way I like it.
Thanks very much.
Stephen
..cheers everyone for all your help!
Superb!
To make the software icons transparent use Co0kies Home Tab Cab 1.6.1 together with his CHTEditor.
There is much written on the forums for having consistent backgrounds across all screens etc.
The link below will get you started on your background requirements.

Good to see sarcasm still has it's fans.
In regards to your 'theme', you'd be best off finding a background image with the colour you prefer then copying it to the phone, and selecting it as the background image in:
Settings -> Personalize
The transparent boxes around the quicklinks (I'm guessing thats what you mean)

I do mean that
I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction. i am looking for a cab to make the taskbar and softkeys either all the way transparent or semi transparent. Also I tried downloading cabs for the taskbar icon and it totally flipped my phone out. I am using a stock ROM with CHT. It is kinda driving me bonkers. If not transparent but a beveled look would also work?! I am still kinda new but this is not my first ball!

Which taskbar icons are you trying? Those are often compatible (or not) with certain builds of windows, as opposed to a specific versions of sense.
To get the taskbar and softkey bars "transparent", your best bet is to use HDWalls, an app that can cab up a wallpaper for you, and it will skin those bars to match the wallpaper you chose. However, this is kind of a "cheat" since it doesn't really make them transparent...I haven't found any solutions that actually do that. HDWalls has a little bit of a learning curve and you'll need to install the HQ patch for it as well, but it's probably the best option.
You can also try THIS app...I haven't given it a shot yet, but it's on my list of things to try. Looks like it might be a good bit more complicated though, but you're welcome to give it a shot
Thanks
I think i tried brains taskbar and another one but no dice. I think it said they where for 6.5x

No prob The thing to do would be to look to see which build of 6.5 you have, and just read the notes carefully in the posts with the taskbars, to see if yours is listed as compatible. I think CHT can cause incompatibilities with some taskbars, just because some say they are specifically known to work with it. What carrier's stock ROM are you running? If it's the Tmo US ROM, I'm running the same, and I can let you know which taskbars have worked for me.
