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.

Who needs themes for TF3D anymore i say. Using the themes consumes precious rom, (check before applying ANY theme, and after) and seriously slows TF3D down.
Now with the great works of our developers here, we dun need any. i could seriously kiss a few of theme especially for the "no curtains" cab and "wallpaper4all" cab.
I say, download the "No curtains" cab, Wallpaper4all" and i'd like to add the "RC Mod", and you're all set to make your own theme right there on your device itself.
RC Mod can change the top and bottom control bars of your device with ease to adjust to your theme.
Note: several tsks cant seem to have their top and bottom bars edited, especially HTC Black. Just download another .tsk file, apply it, edit the top and bottom bar, and install all the cabs above, and wa la! your very own theme.
To further customize it, you can download TF3D Tabs Icons. There already are a few uploaded here.
I love doing it this way, cuz i do not handicap my TF3D speed, and i do not handicap my storage space.
I'd like to also suggest that theme developers start exporting their Tab Icons more.

i agree
Still theres alot easier to jus install a theme, but it is so sad that it fills up the rom, i have been carefull about installing new themes after my first hard reset, and just tested, say, about 5 themes, vista theme, orange light theme, the 2 last djoubhaa themes and the jewelery theme. now my rom is down to just about 7 mb. and when i reset to default theme it stays at 24 mb, when it used to be around 60?
i love themes, but not all files seems to be deleted with the apply theme app.
and therefore filling up the rom with useless files taaking up storage space.
I have not installed a single app to the rom either, so it cant be what is causing the pile-up.
I totally agree as well!
Customizing is a nice way to kill time

Great Post!!!
OK one thing and I will request it over at the other post as well... but is there a way to put the "curtains" back? I tried it and some of the tabs have junk under the curtain... I will probably use the top curtain one but I can not figur eout how to get the bottom one back...
Thanks,
SoBBie
definitely the only way to go, installing a whole theme seems a bit like overkill to me, so I just change what I wish to go, naimly blank out those top curtains, do the wallpaper & use my own iconset (which can be seen & downloaded here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=478066)
oh man...the rc mod is great...thanx a lot for finding this stuff man...lov my diamond a whole lot more now:'(
Hi! I recently got a htc touch pro for Alltel and fell in love with it after I realized how to customize it. I use Diamond TF3D Config and have changed the theme. The only problem is the theme is black and white and my task bar (start menu, battery, etc...) is still a navy color. Is there any way to change this to black to match my theme?
You got some reading to do. Everything you need to know is in there. Enjoy your reading.

Does anybody actually answer questions here??!!
Hi all, theres no one who can post me the manila files to put into windows folder of a transparent slider? i don't need a cab file but only manila files.
thank you!
I am not sure if our problems are related, but If you are talking about what I think you are... I am looking for this too.
On the one side, I can edit my TF3d look, slider, and all that... however, on any slider I install, the square that highlights the current tab still has the Icons from the stock rom, Orange and plain. Don't get me wring, they are alright, but when the slider has different Icons on it from the original Orange Icons, it kind of clashes.
Anyone able to help me remedy this problem? I would be very grateful.
EDIT: By the way, I have the sprint Touch Pro 2 (Manila Version 2.1.38416.1)

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)

Download HDWalls (HDWall_v0.28b) seems to be the most stable http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503511
1. Open it up on your PC, and run HDWALLS.EXE.
2. Click on slider on the side task bar. Right there are the original icon for the slide. select then create cab.
3 Now under options check the box to include slider bar
done... convert and create cab, and install. if you get confused, just followed hdwalls instructions. im sure there are people with links to cabs the way you may want it setup. my hd2 is pimped out thanks to HDWALLS. make sure to install hq patch.

I think what you're looking for there is the background itself, not the slider itself or the curtain behind it.
I believe the image below is the one you're looking for. I went ahead and cabbed it up in HDWalls using some settings that should work on the new stock tmo ROM. If you use this cab to make that image your background (it'll apply it to all tab backgrounds), you'll also need to install the HQ patch I've attached as well.
Let us know if this worked for what you needed

Ahh yes sorry, I didn't catch that you wanted that image on all tabs other than your home tab, with a separate image instead for that. I'm honestly not familiar with any of the wallpaper choosers that might be out there. However, you might want to take a look at BG4A (BG4All tabs)...I seem to recall that it will put backgrounds on the tabs but still let you pick a separate one for your homescreen, but I haven't used it in a long time and could be mistaken
i hae the same problem and its the biggest reason i hat the newest rom upgrade
i realy hope someone can help me solve this problem becouse it gets on my nerves now!

Well you guys should all be running CHT on your devices anyways..that has an option to set an image for your tabs...in bothe 1.8.5 and 2.0...just download CHT and it will take care of that completely!
After updating my original German T-Mobile ROM from 1.72.111.4 to 3.14.111.1 (04666) GER with Manila 2.5.20181527.1, I get the same solid black background on all Sense tabs. This thread was the only search result that describes the problem.
HDWall v0.29b was not my first solution. Because I only want back my gray backgrounds.
Therefore, I installed the HQWallpaperPatch v1.30.
This was a successful attempt. All my gray backgrounds were there again. But now it was not possible to me to change the wallpaper of the home tab any more.
And the newly transparent look of the notification bar and soft bar is very ugly while working with normal applications.
Then, nevertheless after uninstalling the HQWallpaperPatch, I have tried out HDWall. But the resulting CABs were not compatible with my ROM. The wallpapers have not changed and the Sense UI became unstable. Only a hard reset/cold boot could solve the problems with Sense.
CHT is the acronym from "Co0kie's Home Tab". I do not need all that features. Hence, I have investigated to BG4all (Background for all tabs).
BG4all only replaces two files in the \Windows folder. 090a4ee8_manila includes a compressed script. I am not sure, why 3a8e04af_manila also must be replaced.
But there are many versions of this patch in the wild. I used m9editor to compare all shipped files with my original ones.
And I found a compatible version. This BG4all_Manila2.5.cab works without problems along with my ROM version.
