The taskbar / bottom bar.
 
Does anyone know where these files are held and if it is possible to make them transparent?

Based on this photo:

I would like the top and bottom bars to go bye-bye.

Any suggestions? I will reward you with a virtual hug.

Tried this one, but apparently it wanted to be a jerk and not work =\. I dont know if it's because it's not a stock ROM or what, but definitely a no go. Thank you though,

I've seen a file floating around from the LG KS20 that also removed the bottom bar. Let me look...

It would really help to clean things up on the screen, if we could even make them transparent.

I agree. And now a little upset, I just installed a cab that claimed to be a bottom bar semi-transparency cab, but it just made my curtain transparent-(which used to be fully transparent), and now I can't get it fully transparent again :(

It works if you disable TF3D, after a reset.

You mean disable TF3d, install, restart, reenable TF3d?

If so, I thought that's what I did, but we shall see.

EDIT: it looks as though it works if you're not using touchflo, but once you have it enabled, the bar comes back =\

Pretty sure the bottom bar is part of manila (the settings for it are under manila in the registry) so you cannot make it disappear without closing manila. The task bar, can't really do anything about that either

Yeah, It would be great to even just be able to skin them

The only thing I don't get is why you can use a cab like nueNoBar and it will remove bottom bar when you have touchflo disabled, but once it's enabled again, the bar comes back.

It gives me a glimmer of hope for future possibilities, but also the realization that I will not be creating those possibilities.

Like said before thats because the bottom bar is part of manila. Notice how when you dont have tf3d enabled there are different soft keys (or as least on mine). Thats why nueNoBar works when just on the regular today screen but manila is a today screen replacement.

Dont know if it will work but wisbar advance has an option to hide the soft key bar. Might be the same results as nueNoBar but I guess worth a try. My opinion is it wont work though.


As far as skinning them you can use a tsk file. But I know for a fact you can skin them in wisbar. I made a skin a while ago for my mogul that had the same skin as my wallpaper so you couldnt see the top bar. All you seen was the windows emblem, signal, etc. Takes a while especially if you have a complex wallpaper to be able to match the pixels up so it looks fluid.

Its because manila (tf3d) takes complete control of the today screen, hence the reason no today plug-ins work either.

BTW, theres a new program floating around called TFDetacher, it lets you switch between tf3d and any other today screen kinda like secondToday does, but it has softkey configuration in it also in the settings, for tf3d or non tf3d today screens

it's comming, once 6.5 is out, this will be standard issue, observe my sig

If you use WAD2 (WisBar Advance Desktop), the theme allows you to make those disappear.

It doesn't work with TF3D.

I wanted to give this a bump and see if anyone has any ideas about getting the taskbars in manila transparent like they are when using the Windows Default today screen in 6.5? If it has already been done and I just missed it, please point me in that direction. Thanks!
