The only thing I have seen that has the capability to make task and menu bar transparent is wm6.5. wisbar cannot make themes transparent. You actually have to blend your bars in with the theme. Therefore, if you use a different theme, transparency does not exist until you create bars that blend with that new theme.
sorry if that is confusing.
I did ask what actually made the task bar transparent for 6.5 in another thread but I do not believe anyone answered.

but there are some pictures that shows transparent taskbar in the forum

the titanium plugin mixed with the new 6.5 shell can do it

To be more specific, I need 6.5 VGA shell theme. mtstmp has come out with a QVGA 6.5 shell. Any hopes of getting a VGA port soon?

did anyone of you try the "search" option that's free on this forum? It's so good, it'll even give you results of top secret cia project ;-P

For those still running 6.1 (like me), you can use dcinobar. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=969598&postcount=12 The softkey bar disappears from the Today screen, which is really what I was after. If you open a program (ie programs, file explorer) the softkey bar reappears, but will vanish when you return to the today screen.

My Current Spb Mobile Shell v2.1.5 Setup

Hi All,
I thought that I would share y current Spb Moble Shell v2.1.5 setup for those who are interested. I have all the necesary files but not in cab format if there is any interest. I also have G-Alarm with the Diamond wallpaper and TaskFacade with same wallpaper. There is also a screenshot of my Spb Keyboard in full screen landscape mode.
This is basically using the Spb Mobile Shell Fast Skin Customiser from XDA and my own tweaking here and there on S2U2 v1.52. I also use S2U2 Customiser.

Looks nice, but i'm used to have 'recently used' programs right there, although i use almost exactly the same folder structure as you do
Can I somehow insert battery as on your second image but on default skin, or it has to be this version with more screens? (i like when there are only 3 available screens)

I am not sure if I understand your question. The second image with the battery is S2U2 default skin while charging. When not charging, it displays the Diamond wallpaper, alarm info, next appointment etc as selected in "S2U2 Settings" or in S2U2 Customiser-it's up to the individual what he/she wants displayed on S2U2.
The Arrows on S2U2 with the HTC logo, I created from an existing image, and used S2U2 Customiser to change this and the text displayed.
I hope that this helps. There is also a nice tPRO (TouchPro) skin for all resolutions in the Raphael Software Forum if you are not sure how to do it yourself. Demonizator has created this theme and has included cabs in this post:

NICE.......

Very...very nice MAC, very nice alternative for people that don't like Manila.
Thanks for sharing.

Full Screen VGA Themes for Manila 2.5x

I have yet to see too much on this subject, other than a good piece by thekidz.rocks.
The full screen junkies of the sense Roms seem to be focusing their energies on the latest MaxManila to get their fix. I prefer to see full screen home pages with skinned taskbars & softkeybars as enjoyed by our WVGA cousins, for them the transition seems easy via HDWalls: for us it is rather tricky.
So we need TIPS, TRICKS, SKINS & hopefully... who knows a VGAWalls to come from somewhere..... plz.
To kickstart here are some dodgy taskbar aligninments with a wallpaper from, I cannot remember quite where... Hidden operator names & hidden slider marker manilas included if interested.

This looks very nice. Is it only for WM 6.5.X or 6.5, too?

Any 2.5 Manila. You set the background using the Weather Wallpaper option in the Home Tab Menu. The taskbar & Softmenubar can be found in the windows directory & are related to your device theme. For example if under Settings, Personal, Today you have a theme set which is energy, the taskbar file would be energytaskbar.png.
This is skinning Windows 6.5, so will work on any Rom, works with MaxManila too

Sorted!
Some good desktop wallpapers here http://www.searchslate.com/
Anybody else got anything ???!!
For installation, some as above post.

Any help on this one for a newb, as I do not understand either?

dude of course it works with touch pro... you just need to have manilla 2.5 ... this is for windows mobile 6.x so if you run windows mobile 6 + then you can use manilla which means you can use these themes

hi,
i'm interested how can i change the font of the letters to this typewriter style as in the pictures above. i find it really cool! :

[FIX][SKIN] VGA NOTIFICATION FIX FOR "Max Manila 2.1919xxx Ultimate - v1.0 "

[FIX][SKIN] VGA NOTIFICATION FIX FOR "Max Manila 2.1919xxx Ultimate - v1.0 "
Im one of the users not moving over to 2.5 yet because of the lack of landscape support. Im jealous because of the great customization available by using max manila. Ive decided to stick with Sense 2.1 until the new 2.51922xxx is ported over. In the max manila thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4387068&postcount=5 there is a cab to install a limited version of max manila for sense 2.1 but its only for WVGA, thus the notifcation buttons are not accessible. This fix brings the notification icons higher for us VGA users.
This cab:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=235116&d=1254932008
must be installed before installing the fix.
This has been tested so far only on the latest EnergyROM 'Phoenix 2' (21885)|Dec 21|Sense 2.1/Titanium.
Known problems: Does not work with Kamills compact manila due to clash of manila files.
The original icons that come with this version of max manila are:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I use these icons though...

if you to want these icons, the download is at the bottom
Instructions:
Zip files: Unzip, copy file/s to windows. Overwrite if necessary. Restart Sense.
Cab Files: Install to device
(thanks to Maxycy for Max manila and everyone involved in the porting of the new manila's )

Tried it on the Dec 24 28011 EnergyROM. Doesn't seem to do anything. I'm getting what looks to be the WVGA screen. No notification icons display.
Although I did notice that the Dec 24 version is running Sense 2.1 1920, could that be the problem?

Thanks,
but where can I find this Icon? It themes this icon is not in the windows directory as .png or gif etc.

Use IconHelper;
http://www.pocketpc-freeware.net/graphics-painting-tag/iconhelper-download-16590.html
With it you can use any *.exe (icon) or *.gif cq *.png
Success with finding the right one,
Senax

It seems that other people have the problem also.
