xp start bar

hi, im looking for a way to change my start bar and soft keys bar to a black glossy xp bar. can anyone tell me how to do this. ive searched the forums and cant find anything, but I remember seeing pics of someone who had it. thanks

wisbar advance

Using "Wisbar", it's possible to skin the start bars...

anyother way? i've used wisbar before and its the worst application ive ever used

try this for size

well well
look what i dug up when I typed glossy black bars in the "search engine".....perhaps it was "broken" when the first search was rendered....

maybe this one helps you:

This is a nice app!
Do you know an app that can change WM6 bar to WM5?

I haven't seen such an application yet, but i think it's not impossible if someone edits a theme file for wm6. Like it's possible to change the top and bottom bars to simple plain black or green for wm7 themes so I think it's also possible to change them to anything you want to.

Black non glossy bars in WM6 Standard... Help please.

I've seen a lot of stuff for the PPC like this in the screenshot below:

I really really want to have black "flat" bars in my HTC S710, please tell me there is a way to have it without needing to flash a new custom rom...
Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure where I got this, but here is the theme in the screenshot...

Well, follow this http://mobile-sg.com/software/?p=TdySchemeChanger&platform=ppc
You will be able to choose between flat black bar vs. others.

you can have bars of any color. The problem I noticed with the black tsk is that the older programs use the softkey space for their layout. for example (pocket alarm) which was not made for wm6 has context and sip instead of softkeys. they get blocked out by the black bars and you can not see the text or buttons.
With ThemeGenCE you can make a similar tsk, and can also fix that old one to show the old style softkey bar.

Simple Flat Black scheme

Flat Black bars - Black Background
simply copy to \windows folder and select in today settings

Maybe I misunderstood, but you did say for wm standard? All those ppc versions won't work for standard devices. Here's a cab to install a blacksoftkeys.scheme.xml into your settings folder. It will look like screenshot below.

one question, why with the transparent slider or any transparent slider for that matter have a smaller version of the icon overlapping the bigger icon????? i think it would look alot better if the slider was just straight up transparent. nice work!!

Pretty cool! You should put a schlenck flask in there somewhere, though.

Incorrect. He needs to make his slider solid and remove any transparency to avoid the double icon menu.
Or he can install NISSEDILLIGAF's 3 icon menu cab and re-create the 3rd icon for 'on top' of the slider.
Have fun.

Any idea how to make the the windows sidebar and the bottom bar transparent as seen in the picture above?
I'm searching the web for days to find any solution
I need some assistance

anyone? i too would like to know.

ya even i want to know
plz ne 1

mobile 6.5
ist standert in windows mobile 6.5

The screenshot posted by DrDemento seems to be WM6.1, then there IS possible..
....or can be only a photoshopped screen.... but I'm in doubt of that.
However, I don't know how to do that thing because I'm happy with WM6.5 that has got bars transparency by default.

no that is just images in the taskbar and bottombar not transparent... if u change background wit that image it will remain like that
this image was from a couple years ago i think

Looking at the picture I think you might mean "Glass" not "Transparent", if so then I think you can get those glass bars by installing a theme which has them or using a software like UI Tweaker. I had such glass bars on wm5. I can't really tell on my laptop because the screen is so small and crap!

App like Smaberg's 12 button action screen but with color icons?

Does anyone know how to get color icons? I have been experimenting with my new TP2 and some combination of installs gave me color icons, but I had to do a hard reset and now I can't get them back.
Anyone?
Edit: And I don't mean the 18 button app found here
I think that I had Smaberg's installed, then some other app overwrote his icons with colored ones.

This is different from what I had (the one that I had was identical to Smaberg's but in color), but it will do:

Maybe you could post a link to the 12 buttons app you want with the actions/apps you want?
You could edit only 1 background file & use the customs icons you want like I did here: Tweak: Custom Action Screen Icons in Color. Follow the link in that post for an other version as well as how to change the buttons programs/toggle actions.
