3D top and bottom bars?

[Calatar]

Hi guys,

I hope this is the correct place to ask this. I have had a few searches through this thread and any others dealing with the Manilla 2D skins and I have not found the answer (of course, I could be searching for the wrong things!).

I am using SJ's excellent HDIII (seen here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397121)) and have the same very top and bottom bars (3d look, light colour at top fading to a dark colour at bottom). I am trying to make mine have the solid black top and bottom bars, but no skin I try to install seems to do that.

Now on thinking about it, I doubt this is anything to do with Manilla as it is not within the program area. Can anyone point me in the direction of how to change these bars? I am sure I can remember from about a year ago someone asking for the same?

Many thanks in advance, and I hope this makes sense.

Just download this Theme (its a .tsk file).

Put the file it into your main windows folder of your pocket pc.

Then go to Settings>Today

Then choose DiamondQVGA from the list and then hit ok in top right corner.

This will give you the flat black colors you want.


That is the simplest way I know of doing it. However there is this program http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-ui-tweaker-v0-5-3.html
I have never used it but it looks like it may do what you want.

Hope I was of some help.

Thanks!

I am afraid that the linked tsk did not work to give me these so called 'flat bars', but it gave me a good place to start looking on these forums! Did a search on flat bars and found a vista tsk that did give me the flat bars I was after!

Thanks very much again!

Did you take a look at RCMOD if it does what you want?
