xp start bar - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

hi, im looking for a way to change my start bar and soft keys bar to a black glossy xp bar. can anyone tell me how to do this. ive searched the forums and cant find anything, but I remember seeing pics of someone who had it. thanks

wisbar advance

Using "Wisbar", it's possible to skin the start bars...

anyother way? i've used wisbar before and its the worst application ive ever used

try this for size

well well
look what i dug up when I typed glossy black bars in the "search engine".....perhaps it was "broken" when the first search was rendered....

maybe this one helps you:

This is a nice app!
Do you know an app that can change WM6 bar to WM5?

I haven't seen such an application yet, but i think it's not impossible if someone edits a theme file for wm6. Like it's possible to change the top and bottom bars to simple plain black or green for wm7 themes so I think it's also possible to change them to anything you want to.

help me, plz!!!

Hmm not sure that is possible - may have seen a post about that but cannot recall where. pm Zeboxx or vijay555 if you want to pursue this because they may know.
But magic button and wisbar put an icon of the active program on the taskbar so i think that is the most likely solution.
I think the O2 app will do this. Possibly SPB, but I've never used it.
I could eventually make VJTrayLaunch add this feature, but in a future version... too busy on some other stuff right now (Ie having a baby!)

magic button will place active program on the top where the start button is. You can also use the program to completely close out the program.
Ilauncher is what I use for system tray icons.

Black non glossy bars in WM6 Standard... Help please.

I've seen a lot of stuff for the PPC like this in the screenshot below:

I really really want to have black "flat" bars in my HTC S710, please tell me there is a way to have it without needing to flash a new custom rom...
Thanks in advance.
I'm not sure where I got this, but here is the theme in the screenshot...
Well, follow this http://mobile-sg.com/software/?p=TdySchemeChanger&platform=ppc
You will be able to choose between flat black bar vs. others.
you can have bars of any color. The problem I noticed with the black tsk is that the older programs use the softkey space for their layout. for example (pocket alarm) which was not made for wm6 has context and sip instead of softkeys. they get blocked out by the black bars and you can not see the text or buttons.
With ThemeGenCE you can make a similar tsk, and can also fix that old one to show the old style softkey bar.

Flat Black bars - Black Background
simply copy to \windows folder and select in today settings

Maybe I misunderstood, but you did say for wm standard? All those ppc versions won't work for standard devices. Here's a cab to install a blacksoftkeys.scheme.xml into your settings folder. It will look like screenshot below.

This honestly wouldn't be that hard to replicate. All you need to do is edit the .cpr files for the lockscreen. I'll see what I can do.

wow thank you very much

Are you talking about the position of the slide to lock or E, signal strength, volume icon, 98 battery icon next to start?
I could be wrong but if the latter i think its part of the win taskbar at top and you would need to modify that directly. Where the slide to lock graphic is can be moved I'm sure shouldn't it just pull whatever graphics are assigned to the win top bar

Judging by the title of the thread I just assumed he was talking about the lock and not the taskbar but I could be wrong... OP can you confirm?

yeah it was the clock and the slider also the notifications (obvsuly to make it work)
the icons on the tab are cool but still lol
Looks realy nice. It would be great to have such a lock screen.

"lightbox_next": "Next",

Any idea how to make the the windows sidebar and the bottom bar transparent as seen in the picture above?
I'm searching the web for days to find any solution
I need some assistance
anyone? i too would like to know.
ya even i want to know
plz ne 1
mobile 6.5
ist standert in windows mobile 6.5
The screenshot posted by DrDemento seems to be WM6.1, then there IS possible..
....or can be only a photoshopped screen.... but I'm in doubt of that.
However, I don't know how to do that thing because I'm happy with WM6.5 that has got bars transparency by default.

no that is just images in the taskbar and bottombar not transparent... if u change background wit that image it will remain like that
this image was from a couple years ago i think
Looking at the picture I think you might mean "Glass" not "Transparent", if so then I think you can get those glass bars by installing a theme which has them or using a software like UI Tweaker. I had such glass bars on wm5. I can't really tell on my laptop because the screen is so small and crap!

[req] wm 6.5 start menu alterations

Hi
I am sure that I am not alone when I look at the new WM6.5 Start Menu and it just looks plain bloody ugly where it was once honeycomb and now all the icons are spaced oddly in rows of 3 icons then the next row below has only two and on and on..
Is it possible to go more down the line of having them all line up both horizontally and vertically.
See below mock up please.
Regards

That would look nice. Also, how about being able to arrange alphabetically?
My thoughts exactly
Can't be that hard. But since i'm using Launchpad nowadays, i'm not gonna make it

Would be cool as above Launchpad & Launchmanager are good progs but an app to replicate WM6.1 menu with Start Menu hook and the ability to change background "and other tweaks" would be sweeeet
If you have any luck let me know! It seems that the honeycomb is forced. The only way I could get it half-decent was a single column (i.e. a list). For more details, look at:

And with reStart you can tweak it still a bit more like changing folders, arrange icons etc
