Anyway to remove or glossify the top and bottom bars?
 

Title says it all. I spent a decent amount of time on XDA and here trying to see if I can make the top and bottom bar of WM6.1 glossy but still using the stock HTC Black theme that came with the phone. All I found was one program that makes them glossy gray...no thanks.

Hell, if I could completely remove them then that would be cool too. Give the background a lot more room and look way better.

Also, someone needs to find a way to remove the "Call History" and "Calender" links on the Home screen. I am just going to install a "Call History" and "Calender" tab on the slider...no need for an extra link on the Home tab.

This will take care of call history and calender. Hope that Helps.

Thanks T M Z
nueNoBar disables the bottom bar on the today screen, giving you more space on the today screen of course without disabling your software keys functionality !

nueNoBar is WM 5, 6 and 6.1 compatible, and should run on WM 6.1 builds 20000+ as well. nueNoBar is donationware, so please donate to support nueNoBar and nueRom development.

Note: Please be sure to reset after you install if you are using the cab file.

Tried the CAB File, nothing. The softkey still display at the bottom of the screen

If those tabs are removed, is the extra space then taken over by the wallpaper

Re: Anyway to remove or glossify the top and bottom bars?
 

NoNueBar only works in Windows Mobile...once you launch TouchFLO the bottom bar will restore itself because every tab on TF3D assigns different functions to the 2 softkeys.

I installed nonuebar and the keyboard icon is still there. Where are the settings for this?

Re: Anyway to remove or glossify the top and bottom bars?
 

I followed the steps and it changes the top and bottom bar to glossy but it is grey, not black. Any Idea?

If you are willing to pay like $7.99 there is Lyma Designs pocket theme editor. It is well worth the few bucks you pay. We have used it on both moguls and touch pro's. Hope that helps.

If your using TouchFlo or any other mobile shell your gonna have the softkeys because they are built into the shell. notice that when you press a softkey on Touchflo you get a different menu then windows would give you. Try it with Tflo disabled.

Re: Anyway to remove or glossify the top and bottom bars?
 

Had the same problem, you have to apply the theme in the Today options, and then run the .exe file, both have to be extracted to the Windows folder.

After you run the .exe it will change to black.

WOW...
Big props to the instructions here...

I tried this long ago, and never knew I had to launch the GlossyBars.exe from my Windows Directory!

Big Thanks!

That BaseHue express looks like it does the same thing as UITweaker. While nice, it still does not let you choose black as your color and make them glossy.

The .exe works great, but you have to run it from your /windows directory.

Regarding NueNoBar, when I receive a call and end it, the bar that pops up during the call doesn't go away unless I do a soft reset. I've searched several different threads at XDA, and here with no luck. I love the idea, but it a little annoying. I run on Treo 700wx. ANy suggestions would be appreciated. Cheers.

I think no2 needs to update it for the Diamond/Pro. However I cannot recall if he has updated it yet or not so you may want to check around or just wait for him to update it.
