Homescreen mods - HD2 General

I'm after the following mods if it's poss, i'm just getting round to making the phone look nice and i don't know where to start being a complete novice at this.
i want to:
1). loose the border around the text under the tabs in cookies home tab app
2). loose the border around the bit where it says calender, alarm and date on the home screen
3). loose the border around the clock
4). make the wallpaper fill the whole screen i.e so it gets behind and looses the black bars at the top and bottom of the screen
5). get some better icons for the task bar at the top
any pointers would be cool

Try Cookie's Home Tab Editor (made by johncmolyneux) and HDWall for complete HD Wallpapers. You can also try MaxManila to customize the look of your homescreen.
Also look for CSMI (Customize Start Menu Icons) and transparent sliders and such. Just search the themes ans apps forum and you will get a lot of hits to these threads. Good luck and Happy hacking!

can i run maxmanila with the cookie monsters app? or does have to be one or the other as they do similar things?

2. AntonioMistretta has a cab posted somewhere in HD2 themes and apps that does this... think it is called calendar transparent.cab
4. you need HDwall with HQwallpaper patch to achieve this... search for the HDwall thread created by dragonsoft.
5. i use brians taskbar greek edition

i did see that post but didn't notice the link to install hdwall, thanks.
1 last question whil ei have your attention mate, the patch in the above post is for manila 2.5.1920 mine is 1921, does that matter or is it the 2.5 that is the important bit?

[THE]TF3D Icons +Invisible Tray Icons +Sliders +Bits (no longer supported, sorry)

I have been messing with some icons, most of the images are grabbed from google images and cropped with paintshop pro.
The set includes comm manager, call history and callender icons, if you use them. Included is a custom slider. I am just trying to get Nisse's 3 icon menu to work with the extra icons, so I'll update the post when and if I do.
Invisible tray icons on post 11.

Clear Ring Slider & Invisible Program Back
What it says in the title, the slider should work with all tabs.
I have tweaked the ring slider, moved it up and over a few pixels, it looks better so I have replaced the .cab with a new one.

InvisibleTrayIcons
Following an idea suggested to me by Dynomite232 I have made a .cab with 13 invisible tray icons. This means that if you use this .cab you will only see the hero, the big icon which pops up in the middle and the one selected inside the slider, nice if you like your wallpaper!
Edits, I think it should work with any theme.
Invisible slider, good with these icons.

Unique, thanks for the "no background in programs tab"...it works great. However when i use any of your sliders they are offset to the left of the screen by about 25%. I am on a stock sprint rom with some mods to TF3d (flip clock, taskbar icons, no curtains and icons). Do you know of any reason that this would be occurring?
nice work... I was thinking on doing this too...just a couple

I don't know the reason but It is no trouble for me to do sliders which would be offset to begin with and would therefore show in the correct place. Which sliders would you like to use? and I'll move them over a bit for you. Maybe you could post a screenshot so that I can see exactly how much it needs to be moved.

These are done at the request of mbord, see if you like them, I think the transparency is too high in er...the transparent one.

And the only thing i made is a small botom curtain to cover the yahoo bug on the internet tab,start button in landscape and program selection
the rest is all from other designers around here... thanks to all of you
Transparant slider,clock,small bottom curtain,background on all pages, transparant buttons in the program menu and NoScrollshade in one Cab.

there is a bug when you have installated the new manila rhodium" that it not shows all the instalated files in the remove programs tab".
when the new manila is cooked in the rom you can go always back to original but for now
instal a new theme or install the XBmod rhodium again
clock
could you possibly break the cab up?
i would love everything but the clock...
thank you
Transparancy on all tabs
Could you explain how to make the bottom curtain transparent on all tabs? I'm currently using Macadam 1.3 R1, which only has a transparent curtain on the Home tab.
Thanx in advance.

Nice idea Whisheybro. Thanks for the app.
I can't seem to find a program to remove the top curtain. I have tried this and it doesn't work and I have tried Manila Customiser, but even if I highlight the "Invisible top curtain", it is not invisible. It is the same as the one you show above. I am using Rhodium TF3D2....
See what I mean??? I know you can only just, but it is more obvious in real life!

[THE][14-10-09][v2.0] Color TF3D

I must say I'm a fan of TF3D. But personally, the mono-color scheme is not much fun to look at. So, I searched the web for some free icons and made this. I thought I'd share it with the xda community. My first contribution.
(Don't bother with the poll, I've made my decision already.)
Instructions:
1. Install cab (recommended that previous versions of my theme be uninstalled first)
2. Disable and re-enable TF3D to see the changes. To see changes in the dialer, you'll need to soft-reset.
3. Sprint users, please install my "Color TF3D-Sprint Patch.cab" on top of whichever one of my theme's version you chose. This will add the 2 icons for Sprint TV and Nav. Please see screenshot here.
If don't like it, just uninstall. Soft-reset. Back to normal.
Verizon users, have a look here.
Sprint users, have a look here.
Most devices have black as the default font color for the clock on the Home tab. If yours does not, check here.
FAQ - please read before asking any questions I'll be ignoring all queries covered in the FAQ.
Tip: for improved performance, use CFC Compression. Info here.
Release history
I'd gladly take suggestions and requests. Let me know if you have icons you would like me to use or if you don't like a particular change I made. Together, we can make the perfect theme!
Color TF3D 1.5.cab - Normal
Color TF3D 1.5-no top.cab - Transparent top curtain
Color TF3D 1.5-no bottom.cab - Transparent bottom curtain
Color TF3D 1.5-no top and bottom.cab - Transparent top and bottom curtains (This is the one used in the screenshots)
Color TF3D-Sprint Patch.cab - install this on top of one of the above cabs for icons for Sprint TV and Nav
For those of you who have switched to the official WinMo 6.5 ROM released by HTC or if you have Manila v2.1 with the weather clock, please see here for version 2.0.
Users of Manila 2.0 or 2.1 without the weather clock should stick with version 1.5 of my theme.
AT&T Tilt 2 users should also stick with version 1.5 of my theme. I've not skinned the AT&T tab icon. If you want me to skin it, one of you will have to send me the corresponding manila files...
Further development on this has halted. But I'll still continue to try to support it. Here for details.
Like my work? Please donate! Any amount appreciated! Thanks for supporting!

i presume you used cfc-gui to change icons, but i cant find the tab icons in my manla files...ive just the manila icon\off...

Yes, I used cfc-gui. The section under "manila\icon off" is "manila\icon preview". That's what you're looking for. If you don't see it, you probably didn't extract your full set of manila files.
Very nice!
Great job, but i've got the Vario5 and tmobile made their own icons and I'm not sure if this works on my version, did you test it?

Only tested on my unlocked UK Touch Pro2. So, don't know if it'll work for you. Suggest you to backup your manila files and test it. This way, you can always revert back if anything goes wrong.

Sure, cab added. Please see 1st post.
I'd really like to try this out as it looks great but I'm a bit concerned because I would have no idea which Manila files to back up incase I wanted to change back. Will the cab now allow me to uninstall from the remove programs option and do I still need to turn of tf3d before installing it?
Sorry for all the questions
The tab isnt transparent, and the bottom is white below the tabs. help?

Going to be honest. I've not actually tried to uninstall the cab. But since the manila files are in ROM, a soft reset should restore them if you do uninstall the cab.
To answer your question on which manila files to backup, you can find the list in the xml file if you "unzip" the cab. Alternatively and probably easier would be to be just back up all of them.

I probably wasn't being clear in the 1st post, so I apologize for any misunderstandings. The slider, clock, taskbar, and 1% battery driver are not included in my cab. You can get them if they suit your preference. The links to those threads are in the 1st post. I take no credit for them. 1st post is now amended to be more clear in this subject.
Btw, yes, they are indeed awesome...

Sorry, going to contradict myself here. I just tried to uninstall the cab. It works perfectly. No need to worry about screwing anything up if you install it and don't like it.
Looks great, thanks very much.

I've actually encountered the problem you described when I tried to install my cab onto my Diamond (which runs a ported version of TF3D2). The strange thing was, the problem mysteriously went away after a few minutes. All I can say is, try to disable and then enable TF3D. Or soft reset. If that doesn't work, try to install the cab again. Maybe the script accidently skipped a file…
I'm quite certain the cab works. Tested on my own TP2 purchased from UK and my friend's TP2 purchased from HK.
Wow !
Everything works, since I am a total noob, that's a bit fo a surpise to me !
Thanks everyone !

Transparent big clock, taskbar and slider for Touch Flo on Tilt 2?

Hi, can someone direct me on how to make my taskbars, (both bottom and top), slider and big clock transparent? I wanna have my home screen look like that.
Thanks a lot, guys..
Hi:
I am using this transparent clock, seems to work very well. I am not sure what thread it originated from, I found it in the Gfreek taskbar thread.
Thanks!
How do I actually apply that change? I installed the cab... not sure where I go to make the clock appear..

Before you install the cab., you need to disable TF3D (Start > settings > today settings> >items) The go back, install clock and restart TF3D
Good luck, this should work, works for me!
I installed the cab file, restarted my phone and clock came up as transparent after the reboot...
Hi:
Did you ever find the transparent slider or taskbar that would work for stock rom?
I would love to know if you did.
I can't seem to find anything on themes etc for Tilt2; I have posted a ton of places, and no one ever answers, so I guess there isn't anything available for the stock ROM
PS: I have found several threads that remove the top and bottom bars if you are interested, I find the info there too useful to just get rid of though, even though I hate them being black.
Thanks
