V bar--- Awsome app, great menu, very fast
downfall ---- The right side is the wrong color unless you use the original windows mobile 5 home screen! We all know that most of use are running windows mobile 6 or dont use the simple blue homescreen
(ive already tried to make a new .bmp image, it doesnt work good at all.)
Magic Button --- I love the top bar icons. Great app
downfall -- The whole top of the screen is a different color! Thats ridiculous.
Pbar --- Easily the best menu.
downfall --- you have to start the program to use the app! Its not like vbar and magic button where you can access the menu from the top right of the screen
help me guys, i want a good task manager
I use Magic button as I love the simplicity of it. I do find the odd colors in WM6 weird, but have gotten used to it.
A lot of people swear by Wisbar. I put it on and it does look very cool, but its VERY different' than magic button and I didn't have time to try to figure it out. I'll probably give it a try again soon. But I'm not sure it does the active icons in the top bar like Magic Button (and I love that feature).
Have you tried InClose Mobile??

If you mean running program icons, it does.
I had no problem making vbar use bmps. I configured it to look like my WM6 theme. Maybe you could try it again?

What theme are you using? I can try to make it for you. I made mine by taking screenshots of the screen before installing vbar. I took one with no button, one with the "X" and one with the "OK". Use the blank for the background, then draw a small triangle on it for the context menu. The other two are self explanatory.
See the attached screenshots.
oh ok i see what you're saying. i didnt take any screen shots so i was just making a picture myself. I was using the green homescreen that comes with windows mobile 6. It even looked bad with the blue one.

I love vBar! And you can make it match whatever theme you are using:
Go to vBar Setup, click on "Show background image" and use the appropriate little menu bar piece - try this file, vbar Crossbow Turguoise.bmp, provided below - place it in \Windows.
If you are using a different Crossbow version, (for instance true WM6, that has the two-tone menu-bars), do a screen capture of your Today screen while vBar is disabled, then edit it in your favorite photo editor, cropping out just the upper right section of the screen, from the date over (be sure to get the whole bottom line of the menu bar). Name that little .bmp appropriately, copy it to \Windows, and then set it as the vBar background image, as above.
Try the file below before you go to a lot of trouble, and make sure that it works for you. Works for me! I like the "Cyclic Black Bars" theme, so I created a little .bmp so vBar will have the right background for that (also attached below).

Looks like you beat me to the reply by about half an hour, while I was composing my reply! I use Adobe Photoshop Elements to crop the little bits of my screen shot - what do you use?
Photoshop.
All,
This is my first attempt as modding a theme.. I think I did a good job..
I took the PDVista PocketCM theme with PD's permission and modded the graphics. I also got help from DvTonder to correct the mail icon issue with the newer version of PocketCM.
This will work with PocketCM .21 - .23
This looks just like the HTC Diamond, background, pop up icons on the bottom, etc..
If someone wants to do the graphics over, be my guest.. I would love to play more but don’t have the time.. I spend like a week and change to get things where they are now..
Graphics that need to be done over:
Dial pad needs to be done in gloss black
Dial pad "pressed" buttons need to be done over in gloss black
Menu "pressed" buttons need to be done over with the fancy black diamond theme icon (I included it in the zip).
The icons on the main contact menu need to be done over in gloss black.
This theme has a Greatbal Diamond Look.
Eazy
great work thanks you
guess nobody was really interested..
Wooooooooooooo!
theme now switched!!!!!!!!!!!!!!this gets better and better!
PocketCM
Where can I download the standalone version of PocketCM?
I tried using the search on here but it sucks. It just brings up a bunch of threads for themes.
Thanks!

What do you mean, lol. Hush your mouth, lol. Many are interested. Your theme inspired me to use pocketcm all over again, lol. Thanks and look forward to more of your work.
Edit: I noticed your theme is a large one, almost a 1mb. Which I imagine the larger the file (theme) the slower it starts up. Nice theme though.
It looks sweet. The only thing that I don't like about it is that I can't see the phone numbers on the contact screen without scrolling down to it.
A little bit too dark for my taste, as I was using a diamond theme but with white background, but since this one doesn't have the bugs my previous one had I'm changing now, thank you and good work
Wow! Just downloaded pocketcm and your theme rocks! I'm a noob.... anyway to incorporate the text messaging from pocketcm into the standard texting from spb shell using one of the themes people have posted... (such as diamond theme?)
this looks good
will try it once i reinstall pocketcm --- testing icontact right now - and i dont like it
o nooooooooooooooooooooo!
skin turns aqua blue in letter spaces between contacts.and the menu to close and pick options never fully rises. now i'm sickbest skin for this app i seen yet.
What can I say.... EXCELLENT.
Hello,
I just installed it on htc Touch and the color of the font is BLACK for all contacts. So, I can not see any. The color needs to be set to WHITE. Thanks.
looks nice, thanks man, working on my prophet

I use it on my Mogul and it seems to be fine. It's not so bad on startup and I found that it only uses up about 2 mbs of memory.

Honestly, i got tired of reading the whole text message and could not figure out how to disable the auto show phone number with contacts option and make it come up when you select it in the options. so i just made it black, i can change it and upload two diff copies for you guys. If someone can look at the code and tell me what the option is to give the control back to the options "show contacts with phone number" i will change it.

Thanks.. I will prob finish up the graphics since you all like it.. You may want to try a soft reset... I have tested this on my Mogul only.. I can change the highlighted colors if you really want me to.. but it makes it easy to see.. What about two shades of blue??
hi,
one problem i have and not sure if other has the same. In the option i check on "contact without phone" but it still show phone number. I would like to only show just the name.
I have AT&T Tilt
Thanks
problem with menu that comes up from holding down the far right button. doesnt come up all the way. anyone else have this problem? i would also prefer highlighting that menu in a different color than hot pink. excellent job overall.
Can you change the font for the phone numbers to be white instead of black? Then it would be perfect

Dear All,
Since the TouchFlo 3D eats up a lot of resources and makes my diamond hangs so I have turned it off from Today,
and I have created a VGA theme by using ThemeGenCE and use it in diamond.
Here comes the questions,
First: When I apply the VGA theme the wall paper only show a part of the full image, just like QVGA device using VGA theme...... Are there anything needed to set in registry in order to display a VGA theme?
Second: I disable the TouchFlo 3D in today, is this the way to turn if off? or it will still run in the background?
Hope someone can help me~~
Thx in advance~~~!!

You have to set DPI to 192 if you want a VGA Today screen.
See help file which comes with ThemeGenCE and the tutorial here :

Hey guys, lots of great packages here but the one thing I really want to change/get rid off is those crappy blocks which are used in the touch flow background.
You know the ones, the crappy ones which fade into the horizon that look like something from Tron
They look terrible and it seems you can only replace the home area with a background image.
Do any of the packages here allow you to change this?

guess the only way to do that is to change the theme using touch flo 3d config
anyone have a solution for this. as much as i like the blocks i want to change me to the same wall paper as my home page.
Please, i want to change that ugly wallpaper too... Touch flow 3d config "themes change" don't work for that.
I agree. Since ive changed to the Official HTC WWE 1.93 rom with .5 radio (better signal now, thanks for that!) I cannot change the background at all. In SETTINGS and TODAY the background image has been selected by clicking on BROWSE yet nothing is displayed.

You CAN change the Wallpaper on the homescreen by SLIDING to the SETTINGS Tab on the TF3D.
There is an option Wallpaper. This will change the Wallpaper on the HOMESCREEN only (unfortunately) and not on the other tabs
The BACK GROUND with in the Settings and Today menu doesn't apply to the wallpaper.
All the best.

I have changed the home page wallpaper. This thread referes to the Blocks on the other pages. I want them to be the same as the home page.

Happy to help.
I find it hard to believe no one has made an app to make the wallpaper apply to all tabs....why did HTC make it like this? Weird....
Im suprised as well. Changing the home page is nice, but i would like the rest of my tabs to look ince too.
still nothing?
can this really be that complex?
Have patience. There are people who are preparing Manilla editors.

Just because you have no clue about how to do this doesn't meant it's a good idea to insult peoples intelligence by implying its simple and they should have done it already. The reason it's not been done yet is not because theres no want, but because devs must first understand fully how Manilla operates, it's not exactly documented in a nice fancy API.

Little app makes transparent upper and lower bars
select picture and soft reset ;-)
sorry for my english
Checked me on Touch diamond 2 and work perfect!
how to use!!!
To get the optimal result,you need to use 480х800
pictures(wvga,i don t tested on other resolution)
the program can handle with other resolution,but
the result will not the expected.
the program under development!!!
works on win 6.1 6.5 5.5 x

Works like a charm...
Just Noticed that, when a larger size image is chosen as a background Image, the program errors out.. Thanks...
can you simply uninstall it and restore to original settings if you want to? this can be simpler option for hdwall.

apart that problem did you noticed that the task bar and menu bar is not 100% transparent?! they are some how 95% transparency!! see the attached image on post #2
Does it work for VGA?
not worked with my touch diamond
Loock good,work perfect in my HD2
Works thanks. You save my times to do it manually!
but the upper gfx seems a lil bit too dark... any advice whats wrong.
Touch Pro | Image use 480x640 and 480x800 produce same issue
Awesome!
This is definitely a lot easier to use than HDwalls. Where do I find the cab that makes the entire slider transparent? I tried the one from the HD2 themes section but that just corrupts Sense (it won't even launch). Thanks!
Thank you SOOOO much for releasing this. I waited for a cab like this for a long time. Much easier to use than having to use a PC application. Works great on my HD2. I want to mention this cab in my next update in my hints and tips thread in Leo forum - if I may.
Works perfectly on my HD .. Thnx!

The cab below will make your slider bar and selection box (the one that follows you finger down the slider) fully transparent...I'm using it now on my stock rom, works great. I think I have a version too where it will leave the slider box visible.
Props to dega for creating the cabs
excellent..... now i have cabs for transparent bars and slider ...i am going to give it a try... thanks so much ..
Couldn’t be more happier with your app. Thank you so much
