Background IMage - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development

Hi,
I'm using a MDA II from T-Mobile and in calendar view, notes, and so on, here is as background image a background of t-mobile (grey lines from left to right).
I think this is an image, but I don't find any option to turn it off. I searched the registry and \windows forlder but I don't find nothing.
Does anyone have an idea how to turn it of and to have just a white background?
Erik

The lines on my xda 2 are blue in the background of notes etc, I cant find anywhere to adjust this to white/clear background so maybe somebody can suggest a registry hack.

Somewhere in this Forum I asked if the colours are changeable and sumone replied, you can change them to an colour u like there is actually 4 bars 2 on the left and 2 on the right and with the link sum1 dropped me U can easily use the Themebuilder2003 thing to edit wat colours u want although let me stress u have to know your way around computers a bit to give u a fighting chance in hell as to know what the Hex or summat colour codes are I have macromedia fireworks (A paintin program) that'll tell me the codes, I can now build Themes Better quailty background pics, Start menu text can now be changed, and those bars PLUS the TAP and hold dots.... Do a search for 'The bars in ur inbox babeeey" that should take you to the post

Forget the Search!

All I could do is to lighten the Today menu background color, as it is too dark.
Let me know an email to send it to you.

Guys,
thank you very much for your reply.
However none of this actually solves my problem.
I tried Wisbar, but it does NOT hide any of the icons that I want to hide.
Also, the thread mentioned does not say anything about HIDING the three icons, only about changing their look.
Am I wrong in my judgement?
Cheers
i think you are wrong, because if you know how to change an icon, you can change it to an one transparent pixel icon... if im wrong, would someone please correct my assumption; i only changed the start icon of my taskbar, but i think you can take an icon in the colour of your taskbar background, so it would be "invisible" ... am i wrong??
Greetz
Boris
P.S. im also sure, that you can hide the icons with wisbar advanced eventally with the "wisbar advanced desktop" called variant that i used 2 years ago under WM2003, but its not easy to configure i remember

you are right about making icons transparent, but this does not solve my problem. I need MORE space on the taskbar, (the icon that displays number 1 is really annoying and USELESS, it serves for NOTHING at all). If I make the icons transparent, I will not see them, but they still will be there ocupying the precious space that I would use for somethibg else.
I tried the wisebar and I like it, (it is similar to Qmenu I am using), but again, it does not allow me to get rid of the annoying icons.
Am I doing something wrong? well, I am doing a LOT of thimgs wrong, but I mean in this case ...
Ok, now i see your problem, but im afraid, cant help you, but im still sure, that its possible to solve ...
Greetz & good luck

I know for sure that wisbar advance does allow what you are talking about (but I'm not sure what the number one is though as I don't have that item on my taskbar). Make sure you aren't using the lite version. I dont have wisbar install right now so I cant remember exactly how to change it, but I know if can be done because I wanted the almost the exact some configuration as you and was only able to get it via that program. Play around with it some more and if you stilll cant find it let me know and I'll check it later when I have time.
Have you searched for reg edits? I know you can remove the battery. Notifications are a bit harder though. I'm pretty sure Wisbar advanced lets you customize what icons are present, but Wisbar basically just covers up the taskbar with an overlay.
What do you need all this "extra" room for? If you edit the phcanOverbmp.dll you can delete the icons, leaving only the ones you want. It won't "remove" the icons but would make them invisible so it appears to just be 1 long bar.
I dunno, but I can't figure out what you need all this extra "space" for. It appears that's gonna be your best and fastest solution without requiring a 3rd party app to always run in the background and having to deal with the overlay of Wisbar.
its easy,
All I want to have is on the taskbar ALLTHE TIME:
TIME, BAttery and notification, but the two marked icons (ASL and Edge) prevent me from viewing the rest ofd the icons.
I just finished testing with Wisbar that unfortunatelly does not allow this. These two stupid icons that are no use for me, cannot be removed with Wisbar (latest version).
I would search the registry but where... And... I do not want to get rid of battery and time....
Same problem
Hi, I just want to remove the number 1 on the task bar. I have just installed the onyx ultimate 4.2.1 and it appeared after I turned on the cellular on the comm manager. The number 1 referrs to the phone line 1. It really annoying to se it there.
please help someone!!!
Hello. Also same problem. Also using the HTC Touch Pro (right forum, right? Pretty sure.)
This is whats on my Elite ROMS system bar:
I would like to get rid of the big H icon. It goes ot the same thing the H(with signal bars) does! And I would be able to see the entire programs name if it were removed. That, or at least my notifications wouldn't be grouped into the "Talk bubble" icon. I hate when that happens. Three friggin clicks to dismiss an alert!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Any idea? [subscribed]
Thank you for bringing this up because I use OzIM and nothing drives me more insane than not realizing I have a missed call because of the multiple notification bubble. I would be happy just to see signal strength, and thats it. I use a battery bar at the top of the screen so that battery status can go away. I hope someone finds a solution I would life to know as well.
Why not just edit the DLL files where the icons are stored...that should do the trick.
Use reshacker to edit the dll files..
what ddl files are they stored in?
Wont that only make the invisible (vs GONE). I.e. the goal is to recover the space they are inhabiting and slide the others over towards the right.
Removing the image will only "blank" out the space, not slide the others to the right.

use icon size 1 pixel width...make transparent.
They are stored in shellres.192.dll and phcanOverbmp.dll...maybe some other places too but the majority should be there.
ok ... I'm pretty sure this isnt gonna work based on the pervious comments in this thread.
But I wont know til I try. So off I go to try....
Found the shellres.192.dll file .. but if I try to copy it off the device via activesync, windws wnt let me. What gives???
How do I get it off my phone?!
Here are some linkks to registry "tweaks" for some of the icons displayed in the Taskbar:

Transparent Taskbars

I've searched around a lot, but haven't seen if this could be done yet. I've heard that WM6.5 can do it easily, but I want to know if we can do it on 6.1 somehow.
I am no programmer/coder but if we can modify .task files and change the colors of the taskbar, shouldn't it be possible that we can make it clear/invisble too? Just curious.....
I think the screen would look much bigger if we could remove the bars yet keep the buttons there...
it can't be don without using something like spd pocket plus
the normal shell only support 1 colour given to the titlebar
and not even all colours then it does the garient shiny stuff itself
no way around that not even a way to get the colours it dont use
like white or something
Ok, thanks , I'll check out that app.

[Q] Semi-transparent black background with corner solid image

I have a question:
I'm trying to learn how to make a transparent status bar background on the pull down notification bar (not where the clock is shown but where your notifications come up) I want to make one with a solid image on the corner I've read about 9.pngs over and over and over again but maybe if someone is willing to spend a few days going back and forth on this topic it would be much easier as a group.
I basically want to make a semi-transparent black pull down background with an image of a skull on the corner in red. I know I have to modify the status_bar_background.9.png but here are the following questions I have:
The image is super slim, what are the dimensions of the actual background? Area in pixels.
After modifying and creating my own background (in photoshop) what steps do I need to make sure the picture will fit perfectly on the pull down menu?
Using draw9patch what are the requirements on each field needed to make sure the background will fit?
I want to thank everyone who is willing to help me in advance because I'm sure this will probably take some time to learn. Any tutorials and links would be perfect.

First open up the img you want in Photoshop. Open up the original status 9.PNG.
Make the img you want to layer by double clicking the tab. Bottom right. It should say background.( in photoshop)
Now cut the img and paste in the original status bar. Now resize the img and make the picture you want to same size as original pic.
Now if you see bottom right you will see that you have two layer.( the original, and the picture u just resized)
Click the original img and delete it.
Now bottom right above the layer tabs there is opacitiy.
It should say 100%. Turn down the opacitiy of the picture you resists. Save it. Your done.
I'm assuming you have some knowledge in Photoshop. If you don't, and stuck pm me.I will assist you.
is this my final result
Ok so I duplicated the background to get the transparent black and a solid skull but I'm not sure if this is what you meant let me know if I'm wrong check the images below any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
