Any way to change top and bottom bars?

Hey, I was wonderin if there is a way to change the colour of the top and bottom windows bars (the ones with the soft keys and battery, signal & start) i would really like to make them transparent if it's possible.
I know with the older versions of WM it was possible to play around with these using theme makers but it was pretty much to change the colour not make em see through.
So if anyone knows how or is upto the task of doing it or even telling me how to do it id be a very happy chappy!
Thanks

you can change the colours just by changing the theme in the today option in settings, and theres some cabs floating about to make them "glossy black" like the basic theme in vista! i dont think is possible to make them transparant tho

I looked at changin the colours but because i use the Background changer none of them really matched the pic i was using,
Oh well with any luck some bright spark will figure it out sooner or later!
Thanks for the imput

Font colour lost - help please!!

Hi,
I recently had to do a hard reset and having re-installed various cabs and teaked TF3D, I noticed that the font colour under "Settings" "Sound" and "Settings" "Data" are no longer visible - i.e. the font isnow white on a white background
I have attached two shots of what I mean ...
I have trawled through threads and cannot find an easy solution ... would be grateful for any pointers.
Thanks

Easy solution would be to use a darker wallpaper

thank you for that - I have the HTC Black wallpaper on all screens except certain sub-screens - e.g. "Music" is black but "Music" "Library" is white (but with black font so not a problem here) and although the same applies to the "Settings" tab which is black, "Settings" "Sound" and "Settings" "Data" are white but the font is white too - baffled but hoping to find a solution ... been reading about changing font colours in manilla files but there are so many and without knowing which one to edit, it would be almost impossible to find

Sorry I don't have the answer (I have been looking for this myself).
I thought the font going white problem was to do with installing one CAB (possibly the +call history, +comm manager, + calendar one). I think the white font on the new comm manager changes the font colour for various other things too - might be wrong on this
I had fixed it once, had to hard reset, and broke it again. I can't find it in search, but this might prompt some memories or let you search it.
edit:
I have found the post

I think the grey font works on both, you might need to edit the colour manually though if you can't see it

Task Bar Color

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.

how to change white background w/m

i tend to find the themes just change the top and bottom bars.is there a way to change the white background when you access the windows mobile part of the device?

I guess this is not possible then? Everyone must be content with the plain dull White windows mobile b/g?..MODS can you transfer this article over to the themes and apps please might get some hope over there

I doubt most of us delve into WinMo enough to care.
Not only that, would you be able to read the text with a darker colour or pattern?

Thanks, Possibly most users aint interested but it's really bugging me. If only i could change it because it looks so bland!

short version: try "ui tweaker" (lets you adjust windows theme related colors, look, and feel)
long version: there are some TSK files available that give the effect you desire. however most of these work well with WM6.1 and earlier. same goes for "ui tweaker", but these same approaches don't work well with WM6.5 and later. this is largely because WM6.5 has newer, different, bigger GUI control elements.
if you choose the ui tweaker approach, rp-x1 is correct because you would indeed have to play with a whole bunch of colors on a whole bunch of GUI elements before you'll be able to get the contrast right.

hey thanks man, it sounds difficult but il give it a go..have you tried it yourself?

i have used ui tweaker many times to change the selection highlight colors and what not when i was using WM6.1 ROMs on my kaiser. i even once tried exactly what you are looking for
i found the WM6.5 themes to be a much more improved bunch, so never felt the need to customize them further, though i wouldn't mind a white-on-black theme some time, like a "negative" of the GTX themes, that would be stellar!

i tried uitweaker but it doesnt give the option to change the white background!! i tried another app called settings+ that didnt also -but they are quite handy to tweak windows side of things

forgot to add..the white background remains but i managed to add some colour to tabs at the bottom and every box is highlighted i've also changed the font it makes a massive difference to me thanks

!! the white background is no more!!! haha i've managed to change it with uitweaker...thanks again
