Question about modifying Slider - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps

I've almost got my phone 100% the way I want it, more like 99.5%. Last thing I want to change is the slider. I don't really mean the slider and icons. I want the icons to stay the same. Most cabs will modify both slider and icons. Here is my home screen. I'm not sure what the correct nomenclature is, but the area behind my icons is a blueish color. I want to make it a two tone black/grey sort of like the top of the phone. Is it a matter of dropping some sort of image file into the manilla directory overwriting the existing one? Or is it more involved requiring replacing the icons as well? Any info or pointers on what/how I can change this would be much appreciated. I'm sure the info is out there I'm just not plugging in the right search criteria.
If it makes a difference I am running Sense 2.1

I would suggest using the "Remove Both Curtains" cab file. What this should do is make that blue hue clear - you will see the black background of your screen.
The following URL will show an image of what my 'slider bar' looks like...

It does make a difference . If you are on PPCG, chuckz07 has posted a fix using mode9 edits. Here's the link (I don't think I've posted enough here so I'm stripping the beginning part h t t p)
forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=97345
It doesn't change the icons, just the slider. The files at the beginning of the thread are for the rom you are using where you have the small slider. If you look later on you will find where I have posted a modification that allows for a wider clear slider for those roms that have/need a wider clear slider.

Awsome. This finally did the trick. The C07 transparent slider stuff i could never get to work. Also tried the Glass/Metal and the C07 fix and basic. But this one at least made the slider all black so I am happy Tab still has color but I don't mind that at all. Yay no more blue!

Click on the dark grey box above the text.
Change the RGB settings to 0,0,0
Click Ok
Click Ok again.
Exit and close UI Tweaker.

Note: the lines on the taskbar and the softkey bar may not change, they are (I think) part of the .tsk file and would have to be changed there.
Also, the gray lines in the HTC plugin are part of that plugin, not driven by the theme, so you'd have to edit the theme for that plugin, not the today settings.

Thanks for your reply, but that's what i've already tried , I forgot to mention it.
I think i changed every option in UI Tweaker....
Does anyone know how to change the .tsk file, with ThemeGenCE or another app?
Anybody?
Yes, ThemeGenCE can be used to remove crap like that...although I myself dont know how to do it...ahh, I miss the days of the fully changable Windows Mobile 5.0 homescreen...man, you could change ANYTHING about the GUI in WinMo 5!

Anybody who does know how????? I can't figure it out!
Seems to me the only "easy" way to get rid of them is to make a background the same color as the lines (or vice versa), so they will be invisible, at least. That doesn't help you if you were planning on using a textured background, though, eh?
Actually, it looks like once you have a theme imported, you can uncheck the check-box next to "Today Screen horizontal bars" and that should remove them...I've frankly never had much luck with this program, however, so you're really the expert here.
...doesn't help the version I have is about eight iterations behind the current one, either...

No ! you can't get rid of these lines. It is Operating System (OS) dependent.
But you can attenuate them by choosing a color for these lines.

LINK By Member NisseDILLIGAF. Highly apreciated Sir. Great work.
Enjoy fellas.
Here are some clock files with no backgrounds behind the numbers.
Edited from the Chunghwa manila.
I have made a new one without colour stripes
Here it is~
Hi, I love the change to the Holy.cab, it is heaps more like glass, but a question, can anyone make a vivid rich red clock that matched the red theme, just the numbers red.
Great thread.
Here is a glass style clock I started to make for a theme I am creating. It does however work with HTC Black and Vodafone Red for sure. Although since the Icons in this cab are white they may need to be changed for use with Vodafone Red. I will be changing various things on the glass clock like adding color tints and refining the glass look a little more. Here is this one for the now.... Enjoy
As always restart TF3D after install
If you need colors edited feel free to pm me and I'll see what I can do....
Sergio, maybe you should make it clear how to install these and restore clock in the first post. you know people will be asking
Hi, I took a screen shot of my phone, if you could do it in that red over call history, I just love the Red.
Thanks

If you use the manila editor you can open and export the manila images as .png graphic files.
Export using save as, then open the .png in an image editor (eg photoshop) and make your changes. (or edit the red .png number files I posted above)
Adjusting hue/saturation is a quick way for novices to swap colours.
Save as .png, then replace the image in the manila editor.
Copy the _manila files that you changed to /windows
Just Awsome!!
We need more of these clocks....Great stuff

[THE] Transparant (Glass) slider! And 2 Clocks

I've made a transparant slider. (without icons on it)
transparant (Glass) Slider! (Thnx NisseDILLIGAF for this files.)
transparant Bottom bar
transparant b.g. bricks

zip files
I've also made a Digital (Sprint) Clock and a Analog Clock.
Clock and slider and lower icons seems less whitish, but hte TF3D big icons seem still white - not changed?
I think it might be easier to show pre and post difference (not only clock but "mensen" for example)
I did not change any icon on this theme. (so you can use your own)
I only have made a new slider, now it's fully transparant. It's not showing any icon on top of it. (only under)
And i've made the bottom bar and b.g bricks transparant. Thats all.
We always wanted to get rid of Diamond blackness and you are giving us a piece of black hole But it looks really great. Im considering downloading it. Much better would be to reverse the colors. White would be the base and then use some colors on the icons...
Hi pamas, could you you please tell me which files are just for the slider, I have been looking for that. Or could you even better just post a zip with only the transparent slider, thanks.

Done that, look at the first post..
I see it there now, very fast. Thanks very much.
I recommend this slider
This slider looks great and works perfectly with my theme, I hated the old one it looks so ugly. So I thoroughly recommend this customisation to all. Thanks again pamas,
Your welcome. Thnx!
I've edited it a little bit. Moved the slider a few pixels down.
Ok will try the new one as well.
After installing the bottom bar and slider my htc is acting really strange. I have soft reset it three times. It doesnt allow me to type in my pin password and doesnt even load touchflo3d
Thx
The new slider works fine for me and looks great.
Removing them now my htc is back to normal!

Yeah, i dont like having the menu bar's i want to remove them but this seems to be the only way But doesnt work.
Great thanks
By any chance you could create a semi transparent (glass-like, doesnt need shades) bar?
just the bar, icons not needed.
Great, thanks

Same on this side, touchflo will not start anymore, after removing this it is back to normal. Hope there will be any solution.
By the way, the problem is couse the tranparant slider. The transparant bottembar is working fine.
Maybe some people are having manilla build issues I have 1.2.34837.3_1813.6 at the bottom of my settings tab and the slider is great for me. I have Dutty's 2.2 rom (great).
Just installed the transparent bottom bar .cab on my TouchPro to add to over a dozen other Manilla mods... works really well.....!
Thanks for sharing pamas.....
.
It's a beautiful work pamas!
Thanks!
But it doesn't work with call history tab (TF3D doesn't want to launch) and Black_HTC_ColourTabs (the standard tabs re-apear...)
Maybe you could make something?

That is really good! If it's possible, do you think you could make it as the home tabs transparency? without the blackscale? so they match equally?
That would be terrific! And maybe extend the transparency down to the menu bar?

I have done a cab file for my own transparant slider, if u have any ideas for a nother slider, just send me a pm

Attention with that one, it kinda ****ed up my TouchFlo. Installed it, rebooted, and then it only said "tap here to start touch flo 3d" and if tapped it said "starting touch flo" for some seconds and then reverted back to "tap here..."
After uninstallation it works again but keeps asking me to tap the screen to start TouchFlo when I turn on the device which really sucks. Any way to get it back to automatic start?
Great mod! Now my TF3D is perfect: transparent top bar, semi transparent bottom bar, transparent flip clock, tranparent program tab, background image in every tab and change the background image every 30 mins automatically . It's better than iPhone !!!
strange then why doesn't it work for me? I got official 1.93 rom installed, and with the cab my touchflo won't start anymore.
Is there any other cab like this one floating around? I don't want to test the other cab from ricky, the first one in this thread cause its also from him and I expect similar problems.
But, what the real problem is with transparent bars is that you can see the text of the settings tab behind the slider bar, and I had a completely transparent bar before and in the programs tab it cut off the 4th row of buttons about halfway behind the sliderbar, the same was for the canvas' of pictures in the photo tab. isn't this partly visible also here, with a semi transparent bar?
you know what REALLY would rock? a kind of smaller sliderbar, about half thick so that it matches with the cutoff line of the pictures and the program buttons. Is something like that possible or even done?
I mean something like this, the reddish tint I added means the solid slider bar and above it should be transparent.

Bump.
I would be interested in a semi-transparent bottom bar with the same transparency as the one for the Home tab, but haven't got a clue how to go about it. Can anyone assist please? The .cab posted by RichardTenggren is semi-transparent, but is darker than the one on the Home tab.
I am aware that there are plenty of fully transparent ones, but I would prefer a semi-transparent version.

Changing start menu + black manilla background while sliding

Hello everyone,
I have some problems with manilla.
To make sure that you guys understand what I mean and how I want it I have some pictures
Here on picture one you can see how my manilla is after installing a hdwall cab file.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now I am going to make the top and bottom bar transparent.
So I open the program called "Max TTM" and go towards the "wm6.5" section.
But without a default wallpaper set in manilla I can't make the bars transparent.
So I go towards my manilla settings and select a other wallpaper by using this setting:
After that I have selected the same wallpaper as I used for my cab file for the theme I go back to the Max TTM program.
I clicked on the convert button and the program start processing and reboots automatically.
After the reboot this is my result:
Looks good but once I go to my messages I get this strange effect:
Anyone who knows how to solve this?
Thanks a lot if you guys could help me and I wish all of you a merry Christmas.
EDIT
And I have to other things which I would like to be solved:
Here you can see that the bars stay transparent and that the middle gets black transparent...
Is their any way to include the bars into the black transparent section while sliding?
Or is their a way to make the black transparent into white transparent?
And when I click on start:
The middle is black and the bars are 100% white transparent.
Is their a way to make this black also 100% transparent?
I did find this thread:
But when I try to install it, it says install was unsuccessful.
Hope you guys can help me.
Search my friend. Use the link in my sign to search. I have seen a thread with the files you are looking for.
I will search one more time
Already did it yesterday from 10 pm until 3 am and wasn't able to find it
Oke I found this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=587646&highlight=transparent )
about making the black transparent but it already is...
The only thing I would like to do is changing this black into white so invisible or to make the black take position over the whole screen.
Am I following your instructions correct or not

It appears that when you make the top and bottom transparent, it is actually taking your image and "slicing" part of it to put as the background to make it "appear" transparent but it's really just a background image for the top and bottom. Kind of like cookie cutting the sections of the puzzle but leaving it together as the completed image...
When you go to another tab, maybe it's shifting the middle image. I think I saw this behavior in some ROMs I flashed before and I found a small executable running called posfix.exe or something to that affect and I figured it was for a "position" fix to address the different screen resolutions.
Keep in mind I could be totally wrong with both assumptions! I'm just a user!
Oké, thanks for your reply.
I found out that it does work in the wm6.5 default interface but that's because it does not have different tabs.
I also found out what the actual problem is
The cabs which are made by HDWALL have a resolution of 480x696.
That could mean that the other x104 is used for the bars.
And since HDWALL is resizing I suppose that I would have to cut the pictures on the top and on the bottom to make sure that they fit.
Resolution problems of bars solved!
Oke I solved the problem with the bars.
This is what I did:
- I converted the big picture into a 400x800 picture.
- HDWALL converted it into a picture of 400x696
- I selected in the settings menu of manilla my 400X800 wallpaper as default.
- I went to Max TTM and selected that the bars should be transparent on my default wallpaper.
Now I only have the problem of the black background and start menu left
Clock in Screenshots
Hi rick94
I'm sorry to be off topic but I was wondering if you had or knew the source of the transparent Sense 2.1 clock in your screenshots as separate installer and/or manila files.
Thanks
andrew-in-woking
I believe it was this one:
http://ineedfile.com/download/12780235-background-orologio-trasparente-cab
try using this to clear it up
Thanks I'm going to check it out.
Unfortunately it didn't worked for me
