Couple of questions...

[willywonkaisrsh]

1. Can anyone give me instructions on how to install HDwall so that every page is transparent including the Start program list and the All Applications program list as well as having the Taskbar and the Softkey menu transparent?

2. Is their any fix for the weather to update more often than it does, like every hour?

the search button is your friend. There are already NUMEROUS threads here covering the same thing... start reading, this forum is a wealth of knowledge

Thats my problem. I have looked all over this website for answers to both questions and even though I find posts they are so full of crap and never seem to actually answer my questions.

I have gotten very far with HDwall but am now stuck trying to get it to do exactly what I want. As for the weather update I still have not found a solution but cant imagine that a simple reg edit doesn't exist to have it update more often than 2 hours.

If anyone has a straight answer to either one of my questions it would be much appreciated.

Re: Transparent Curtains
I don't have a screenshot right now because I did it then went back to black taskbar/softkeys because I didn't like how it looked with my wallpaper. I'll maybe do it again later and post a shot.

Here's what I did.

Open HDWall and click on Load.
Select your background image (preferably 480x800, but can be other sizes and will be resized/cropped.) Make sure the Target and Selection sizes are 480 x 800. (Might need to Auto crop & resize or Resize Full Image)

Check the 2 Opacity sliders and make sure they are 0 for full transparency.

Hit Apply then Close that window.

[Optional]
Repeat the steps above for Landscape, but rotate the image as desired and resolution will be 800 x 480.

Now on the main window go to Config.

Select TouchFLO v2.0 - No Compression - Home Tab (Or All Tabs if you like)

Click the Advanced Profile Editor selection near the bottom and it will expand the window.

Check the box for WM6.5 Taskbar and SoftKey Skinning

Click OK.

Under Application Title put whatever you want to call this. (Will show up in the Remove Programs window)

Choose a destination path and filename for your cab file.

Select the options to Include Portrait Wallpaper and Landscape Wallpaper (If used) along with the default checked items Automatically Restart TouchFLO 3D, and Delete Wallpaper Manila files after CAB creation.

Press Convert and lt it do it's thing for a minute or 2.

After that is done, press Create CAB and you are done in the app.

Copy the cab file you just made to your phone and run it after you go into Settings Today and toggle TouchFLO off. Restart your device and when it reboots you should have a full transparent wallpaper on the home screen or all tabs depending which option you chose. Hope this helps.

FYI, an uninstall will return it back the way it was.

as far as for all programs list and start menu list http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529730
as for the weather update this has not been fix on manilla 2.0 well have to wait for unlocker so we can load maila 2.1 or 2.5

How about the Taskbar and Softkey menu?

[maxtcee]

follow the instructions in hd wall that is for tb and soft keys

For some reason those settings do not make the Taskbar and Softkey menu transparent. I have tried it a couple of times.

Under 'Configuration' in HDWallS program you need to select 'HTC Sense v2.5 & WM6.5 - No Compression'. That will give you the transparent taskbar and menu bar.

i do it under 2.0 no compression and works fine

I have tried the above instructions a couple of times now and it still does not make the Taskbar and Softkey menu transparent. It makes all the tabs transparent but that is all. Also, the above link for the instructions to make the Start and All Applications list does not work at all. I downloaded and instaled the .cab and it just screwed up all of TF3D.

So does anyone else have any ideas?
