Hi im using a 6.5 rom and have been messing about with wallpapers etc, now the 6.5 features ie transparent taskbars and new menus have reverted back to 6.1s,
anyone know how to get this back to the 6.5 features without hard resettting?
thanks

nice that they are making changes to it. hope its not just another skin modification or something
Hi
Aleluya,
it is your time to put the Ok button
down, it's easier .....
Thank you for the info!
I don't like this new UI,top and bot bars are increased and for Manila this is not a good things,HTC Task Manager icon is covered from the clock,MS moved left softkey to the middle and this way home screen became ugly...
I try this 23022 on my HD but i moved back to 23017 in 5 minutes...I hope MS will complete the new UI with a better look,IMHO,now,this is not the right way.
Which ROM base on Build 23022? i want to try

I can agree with you that it is not the prettiest of changes, however the fact that they are changing the UI proves that they have finally realized that the UI looks crap
Go here...at the end of the first post, there are 2 TEST versions

Thanks for the ROM Miri
Is this build not stable yet? Why is it Test version?
Because of the graphic glitches. If you have time test it and you will see what's going to come

That looks nice OK button was always a big problem for me it's to small and it's too damn far away from the thumbs when you operate with one hand.It's not maybe the best solution but definetly an improvement I don't want to try it cause it's too early version but what happens to the task button? I see that the clock is there so it's removed ?
hey miri is it gonna be a non-manila v or we wait 4 a stable build coz this one seems nice alot visual changes
Nope, 23022 is not ready for daily usage, we have to wait a little more

23022 and Manilla 2.5
Miri - I am big user of your Manilla 2.5 ROMs. Please share when you think you will drop a 23022 build combined with Manilla 2.5. Keep up the good work!
Now the important problem is manila 2.5 is not stable! not the WM6.5 if you dont use manila, you can enjoy the new version of WM.
But I think microsoft is not creative. HTC had made the WM more easy-operative and better apparence.
So, it is not microsoft but HTC which should optimize their work.
i really hate Window 6.5 UI. Just look and see at the home screen the top and bottom bar are transparent but when u go into setting or sms for example they turn into black. It's really baadddddddddddd . That's the reason why i choose to stay with 6.1 rom until now

Absolutely right
I really like the new WM6.5 UI. It is a definite improvement from WM6.1, despite the fact that I don't really like a 100% Touch interface. I like using my stylus too but this is in WM6.5 not an issue.
What I don't like is Manila. How can I disable it completely? I am not talking about Touch Flo but about Manila. I want to have the original WM6.5 experience...
There are soime rom called super light here where u can get only 6.5 experience without manila. But as i talked above u should stay with 6.1 because u will get dissappointed with 6.5 right after u use it

if yo want to disable manila goto settings->today->items and uncheck "TouchFlo 3D"
if you want to get the original wm6.5 experience you have to enable titanium which is microsofts new "desktop". you can enable it under settings->today->items and tick "Windows default".
This is the merge of MD (maldives) and Com3.
There are definitely many issues with the number of changes made and many of the new UI updates have no real skinned assets.
However, there are some fixes in 23022 and the native 480x800 resources help (the themes included also have reg settings which need to be applied).
X button replacements like HTC TaskManager have some issues, as do the Notification managers and enlarge start menu services.
MS is in the progress of transitioning the notification UI to the confetti plus engine (the HW accelerated, XML/CPR driven engine that runs the start menu)
Knowing Miri, he will likely have a stable build up by the end of the weekend.
Kind request - is any of the cooks able to create vanila ROM, 6.1 with Manila 2.1 with latest patches and just essential addons (like finger - friendly notification screen and so on). I got the feeling 6.1 used to work best on my phone...
Because it seems that the majority upgraded to WM 6.5.X and the site is full with taskbar designs for WM 6.5.X, I wanted to start this thread for WM 6.1 only.
So, if anybody has nice taskbars, please post it here. I would really like to see some android look-like or similar.
Yep, this is great idea, I'm with 6.1 rom too
..although it may be taken as different thing, look there to get method for having ANY taskbar BACKGROUND you want to have(by tsk bkg fiddling + that trick + 100% transparency + "bars" drawn on tsk background may give you whatever you like). It may be useful addition to your idea:

Great idea!!!
same here still have my original6.1 Sprint ROM.
might be "lame" but it works well for what I need it for, so no need for me to change ROM's.
But would like more options on 6.1
New WM 6.1 Taskbar

Enjoy, guys:
(And alot of thanks to DarkNinja and Ham3r)

..weird idea..thus possible on 6.1.
.
Does anyone know if there's a way I can make WM 6.5.3 look like WM 6.5, back when the buttons weren't round and the start button was at the top of the screen?
Can WM 6.5 CHOME be used on WM 6.5.3 or is that an absurd proposal?...
Thanks.
if u want it, then flash a 6.5 ROM. People flash a 6.5.x ROM to get the round button and the start menu on the bottom. And I can't see a difference between the 2 CHOME on 6.5 and 6.5.x
If you want, you can use 6.5.X but with a theme such as amarullz black with the square buttons. I find that this is extremely attractive. Agreed, the CHome is the same on both. Just the rest of the UI has more touch-friendly aspects. In my opinion 6.5.X is definitely better than 6.5 especially with a square button theme.
Or you could run a build like TPC Elite V11 which have the new tab changer like 6.5.x or 23022 which have bigger buttons.
