semitransparent task & bottombar in wm6.5 - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

hello developers,
i install this lockscreen (win mobile 6.5 dusk-lockscreen) and i do my own picture in this and i think, its absolutley phantastic for me.
now when i go into the start menu i see the taskbar und the bottombar a little transparent. this is great and the picture is a little bit bigger & sharper.
my question is, how can i change the hometab background in the same stil with semitransparent task- and bottombar and with a little look of the backgroundpicture?
here the picture from home tab and startmenu:

How to change to Black Background / White font in ALL windows??

Hi everyone
I currently use mostly BLACK look:
- slide2unlock2 with black bakground
- all black Today theme (bars & background)
- Black phone dialpad
- Also many other new good programs (with scroll function) have black bakgrounds too:
- iContact 0.3
- OtO 0.45b..etc
- gCalc (calculator)
I like this darker sharp look alot (iPhonish style)
& i was wondering if its possible to tweak the "original" WM6 windows like:
- programs
- settings
- Contacts
- messaging & mail (including outlook)
- Mobile word & excel
to have dark black background (or dark grey?) & pure white font ??
Again, to be clear, I am NOT talking about Today themes or bars....
I do not know if this maybe as simple as finding a registry key? or difficuly as doing each window indivitually?
I hope we can get some help from our programers here
Thank you
Any ideas?
any ideas at all?
such a disappointment tha no one responded.....
Maybe UI Tweaker does this?
Certainly remember being able to change System Colours in the menus.

Win 6.5.3 - 6.5.5 : how to customize the start menubar ?

I'm looking for infos about how to customize the bottom start bar, so far i have only found how to disable the start et ok softkeys :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\BubbleTiles]
"TextModeEnabled"=dword:00000001
"HardwareStartKeyEnabled"=dword:00000001
"HardwareDoneKeyEnabled"=dword:00000001
I'd like to know how to :
- skin the buttons (for example, change them from rounded to squared)
- relocate the start menu on top (classical 6.5 location)
- skin the menu, increase or decrease the bar thickness...
any infos & links are welcome !
thx.
+1 but also for 6.5 and below.
The persistent task and menu bar is one of the things I hate most about WinMo. In portrait orientation they can be tolerable but in landscape they take up a significant chunk of the vertical screen space. This almost nullifies the advantage of having a high resolution display.
It would be great if there was a way to make them smaller, or even hide them completely. There are not nearly enough full screen apps to make up for this deficiency.
go here and download the oem. it is a very good base for starters. It has everything you need to skin a 6.5.x theme
