Hope that Helps.

Thanks T M Z
You just made my weekend. God, thank you so much man!! I've been looking ALL OVER for this seemingly simple customization but to no avail. Finally, someone comes through for me... and a fellow Michigander, no less :mrgreen:

:notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: Thanks again!!! :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

UI Tweaker works fine if you just want black, but Wisbar allows a lot more custom options like the shiny bars shown in my screen shot.

I saw the above post of the black bars, but it looks like a theme file that's going to change everything to stock except for the black bars.

Am I just not understanding TF3D themes very well or is it true that a "Black Bar".tsk file would revert everything except the bars back to factory defaults?
Just to be clear, the .tsk file only changes the top and bottom bar color. Windows Mobile already has a few themes. Go to Settings > Today, and pick a theme. The Vodafone theme I attached above has the solid black bars.

To be honest I do like your taskbars, I just couldn't ever figure out how you do that. Again - WisBar is not my strong suite. Is there ANY chance you could post both your version number and a "click-by-click" of how you got there? Like I said, I've gone through two different WisBar versions now with zero luck in either. All I could do was change them to two separate weird shade 3D colors.

Thanks for any help.

Just download the file I attached above (Vodafone.tsk.zip), extract the file Vodafone.tsk, put it in your \Windows directory, go to Start > Settings > Today, click on Vodafone, click OK. I assure you absolutely nothing is changed on your phone except the top and bottom bars being black. No extra software, etc...

Did you try what I wrote in post 20??

Believe me, it works perfectly. I have used Wisbar adv 3 in my last 4 phones & the first thing I do is change the top & bottom bars to a reflective black (which is WAY better looking than solid black)

Here was another one of my TouchPro systems modded with Wisbar:

Roaming Triangle!! :razz: Lol, isn't there a fix for that with the Sprint > Verizon TP?

Anyways, I agree, your black bars look better. Although I do like some of the things Wisbar does, I don't like a lot of other things, so I don't want to install it. If I can only find a .tsk with glossy black bars....

Okay, so I found a thread over on XDA for glossy themes (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364541). I installed the glossy black, and it didn't really look that good with my red theme, so I'm sticking with the solid black.

Here's what it looks like with solid black vs. gloss black.

On a side note, changing the .tsk theme also changed the color of the selection in the Today menu. The Vodafone has a red selection, whereas the gloss black has a black selection.
