Background

Hi, how do you remove the background? I installed the cab but the black background covers everything.

My rom is 1.66

thanks, cheers
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mndl632:
not sure if it's just me but it's not working properly for me, it makes all the large icons transparent, when you hold down one of the tabs or slide along it. But nothing else, the rest remains unchanged. I'm using sense 2.5.19211619.0
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] degake:
This is supposed to do so :)

Normally, when you slide between tabs, the background (on which you see the big thumbnail of the tab icon) is opaque/grey.

With this cab, it's fully transparent (so you see your background :))

Grtz,

Degake
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mndl632:
my mistake.thought this made the clock and everything else on the home screen transparent too
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] degake:
No problem :)

If you give screenshots of what you want to be transparent, I'll give you the appropriate links/.cabs to do so... :)

thanks for the help, one thing though the link for the transparent quicklinks gives me a zip file with 3 manila files, not sure what to do with these
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ephestione:
Great, I was looking for something just like this... or rather, I think it would be even better if you made something with intermediate opacity. The standard black-ish background contrasts too much with the clear backgrounds I prefer, but a completely transparent background doesn't separate as much the sliding tabs with the current one.

Also, I would like the same thing for most of other transparent mods... not full transparency, but very light opacity. Reading white text in the home tab when it's over a clear background sometimes is a pain :D

But thatnks for this cab I'm installing it right away
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] degake:
I quickly cabbed it out for you :)

Hey degake,

thanks for the cabs... its wait i've been searching for also... :D:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] enyaj:
Hi degake,

can you make the background on the htc messaging client transparent? Instead of the white background when creating a txt msg, can we have transparent so we will see the wallpaper instead?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ephestione:
G-R-E-A-T

And just in case, could you point us as to where to put our hands in the system settings in order to change the opacity value? Mind me, I LOVE the way it is now, you just guessed the opacity amount I needed in the home, I can see the wallpaper very well, but I can still read the text better than transparent ;)

I'm asking just in case! :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] degake:
I'll do my best to find it out (though it wouldn't be very easy, I think :))

Grtz,

Degake
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] degake:
The opacity isn't controled through out the settings or registry, but is controlled by specific manila files (so; if you want another opacity level, you have to edit the right manila files :))

Grtz,

Degake
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ephestione:
Ah ok, got it, then it's the same as HDWall does, modyfying an image, saving it to PNG and converting to QTF overwriting the original manila file... nevermind then, too much hassle for me :D

Thank you a lot for the previous set of cabs, they sorted out exactly as I needed ;)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ET:
This a great little tweak for Sense, I very much like the fact that the background is visible.

BUT, is it possible to make the text underneath the large icons more visible?

The letters are white and in some tabs not very well visible. Maybe a gray/black textbox behind the text?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] degake:
You can't change "a part" of the background when sliding tabs...

You can only choose colour or opacity.

What you can do, is use a lighter, transparent tabsliding background.. (so you see more of your background, and also have enough contrast to read the names...)

Something like this: View attachment 279842

Degake
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ET:
Since your asking...;)

Can the text be changed to another color or is this not possible? I'm using cobalt blue and carbon theme, blue would therefore look great. If not possible it's no problem.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] degake:
The colour of the text should be editable by changing it inside the appropriate mode9 file (but now to know which is the correct file :eek:)

I guess she was just jealous of not having Sense on her phone :rolleyes:

It does make a phone look great :o

Hi Degake,

Tried the cab but it didn't work. Did not make anything else transparent either.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] enyaj:
Hi Antonio,

Do you have the start icon without text? Or perhaps a tutorial on how to do it?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ephestione:
There's something that I would like to ask anyway.

See image below:

You can see I reapplied the totally transparent backgrounds for home tab, since this wallpaper is not so clear and I can read text.

Anyway, you can also see that between the date and the alarm status there's an ungly black line which is a remnant of the old skin for opaqua background, and that is a real pain to look at... how to remove it or make it opaque of the same amount of the other elements?

EDIT: on second thought, there's the grey texy of weather place and appointment which I cannot read., but 25% opaque backgrounds are too much opaque... can I ask, degake, pwetty pwease, an even lighter opacity background for home tab, than the fixed posted by you before? ;)

A bit OT for this thread, still: whenever I change wallpaper with HDWall, I can restart manila in start<settings<today<elements, but the taskbar and lower bar background, together with start menu background, fail to refresh and I need a soft reset to obtain that. Is there a workaround to refresh those as well, without resetting the device?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] leehobin:
Hi All,

I installed the cab and did the soft reset, but the top and bottom bar is still black.

Can I use the default animated wallpapers or do I have to use different one in a WVGA resolution to make this work?

I appreciate any help

Keep up the good work!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ephestione:
To the both of you, this thread is only used to change the background of the manila elements in the middle of the screen... what you are looking for (changing the colour of the taskbars) can be achieved by changing the desktop background with an image that has the bars of the colour you choose, you can do that with HDWalls
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ephestione:
@degake

since you play a lot with manila files, and created the 25% opaque tab background for the slider, do you think you can also create a 25% opaque background for calendar elements?

I'd like something way more transparent than the standard value, since I prefer being able to see the home wallpaper, but I also would like to be able to see the text on light-coloured wallpaper ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] negawolf:
Woah..I'm using your 25% opaque for start menu background and IT'S PERFECT!!!! really love it.

Mmmm, is there anyway to make the taskbar and sofkey about 50% or 25% transparent? Well I don't quite like the total transparent taskbar and softkey actually...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ephestione:
those two bars do not have transparency, they are skinned with 32bit depth PNGs from hkcu\software\microsoft\today

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ephestione:
no, you can do that by hand, like I did, go into that reg key, search the background image value for "softketybar" and "taskbar" and see where they point, then edit those two :) (which is the same thing that does hdwall anyway, only in a cab)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dmlakers79:

Simple but really looks nice!

I've had this on mine for a while but I have two questions that no one else has managed to help with..

Thought you would be the best to ask :)

1)is there any way of making a single square plate, small enough to see backround but big enough to be behind the pic and text to replace the black curtain?

or

2) A cab to remove the text under every tab pic as you scroll?

Hope that makes sense..(no pun intended :p )

I just think it looks messy when the white writing is over parts of white, cant make it out. Would like to keep it ideally as i like the icons larger..

I have asked this round, one friend did try to help but we both don't know if it can be done..

Thanks for any comments in advance! :D
