Need help with custom .cabs with tmobile wm 6.5 - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps

I am really having a hard time with getting a glass slider and transparent weather clock for tmobile wm 6.5. I am a noob to htc and wm.
I currently just installed wm 6.5 rom from tmobile (us). I was able to get bg4all and no curtains to work, but my slider is a lil offset to the icon.
All i really want to customize is a glass slider and transparent weather clock. I have searched so many sites and forums and a lot of the cabs do not work for me.
Please if you have suggestions or fixes let me know.

I have also noticed that many customizations no longer work on the recently released T-Mobile 6.5 upgrade. It is frustrating and time-consuming to determine what works and what will force you to hard-reset your device. There is a thread dedicated to TP2 apps, however, they are not presented in a way that sorts them with regards to carrier/ROM/compatability. It is unfortunate that T-Mobile's customizations create these issues, but I don't know of an easy solution. Perhaps after more people have upgraded to T-Mobile's 6.5 some modified customizations will begin to appear, or workoarounds will be discovered.

WM 6.5 vodafone...they've done it again, theme apps don't work

After upgrading my TP2 to the latest Vodafone rom which includes WM6.5 first thing I wanted to do is change the damn voda theme, previously I used MAX TTM to change my slider and task bar icons, but it crashed everytime I load it, is it not compatable with WM6.5 ? is there an alternative, I read somewhere that with WM6.5 you could make the top and bottom taskbar area's opaque or see through is this true ?? if so how...
ooops.
.netframework, that'll be the problem then.
still can't get transparent taskbars though or any colour for that matter. only vodafone black

Slider transparent to Diamond 2 Windows Mobile 6.5 y Manila 2.1

Hello:
I am looking for a transparent slider as that of the photo
http://img153.imageshack.us/i/screenshot1q.jpg/
The fund has to be transparent and the cursor also. I have lowered several cabs but they all give me problems.
I have a HTD Diamond 2 with Windows Mobile 6.5 and Manila 2.1.
There is someone who could pass the cabs to me and who they work correctly?
If also there is someone who can make like transparent the bottom(fund) of the taskbar of the top part, i'm fine. Since you see in the previous photo, it is possible to do.
Thank you
hello and welcome to the forum
you can find the discussion here
Since one installs this?
Thank you

Weather animations on home screen only, Verizon WinMo 6.5

Hello. Long time lurker, first time poster.
So, I want to have my wallpaper of choice on only my home screen, and have the weather animated as well. I'm running Verizon's official 6.5 upgrade with, as I understand it, Sense 2.1 (I haven't been able to confirm that the way I could on the old ROM, though).
I made a cab of the wallpaper with the nearest I could find to the proper settings, which was TouchFLO v2.1 - No Compression - Home Tab. HDWall tells me that I need Co0kieMonster's Patch. I found it here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529730, though it definitely seems to be meant for the Blackstone, and not my Rhodium. Not able to find anything better, and not knowing my specific version of Sense, I tried a number of his cab's, starting with the Verizon specific one, and then running through all of his 2.1 variants. At the best, there was no noticeable change on my phone. At worst, the clock would only display white boxes with bits of black in them (and wouldn't flip up to show the text version), the Call History became 0 Missed Calls and my calendar appointments wouldn't show up on the home screen. Trying different settings for home screen only in HDWall either resulted in no change to my wallpaper, or the icon bar at the top being weirdly skinned or turning green (which makes sense, since I wasn't using the correct settings). HDWall works fine creating a wallpaper for all my tabs, but I don't want that.
So then, does anyone have a solution to suggest? I can't imagine I'm the first one to have tried to do this with this particular configuration. Any advice and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
I believe this is what you are looking for: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503511&highlight=hdwall
This has the patch included already.
If you want to change the wallpaper of the home screen without affecting other tabs then go to settings on TF3D and change the home wallpaper. Then install this cab, soft reset, and the animated weather will be on top of any custom wallpaper...

Gah! That was sooooo easy! It was just a cab! I'd put probably three hours into getting this to work, and there was a cab for it. Thank you so much!!
So now I have another question:
When I installed the cab, the top curtain on my home screen disappeared. I was thrilled about this, because I was going to get rid of it next anyway. As a result, though, the clock shifted upwards to fill the space (around 1/4"), but the weather animations didn't. In most cases this doesn't mean anything. However, when it's sunny and there's the lens flare, it comes from just below the sun instead of inside it. When icicles form on the clock, they're happening a quarter of an inch below the top edge of the clock, rather than on the top edge.
These are minor issues, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a fix. Thanks in advance...
I already have weather animation on mine. I didn't add anything. Is this stock T-Mobile 6.5/2.1?
Mine's the stock Verizon 6.5/2.1. My issue isn't that I don't have the weather animations (I do, both with the default wallpaper and, thanks to the above cab, with custom wallpapers as well), but that the clock on the homepage isn't where the phone thinks it should be, which results in the weather animations being misplaced a bit.

I don't think it will, no. The weather clock on the homescreen is limited to WinMo 6.5 and Sense UI, as far as I know, and this cab is for that.
Once your official ROM upgrade hits though, you should be able to use it, so maybe save it until then. It shouldn't be more than a month and a half before it's released.

Taskbar & softkeys

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.
