do you know of how to theme manilla files?

No not yet. I do not think I will. If the latest rom of the 6.5 is correct, that whole interface goes away and regular .tsk files come back into play. They might be a new and improved .tsk released that would allow us to have special effects but I wouldn't hold my breathe.

If we could find a way to make nice WM 6.5 themes easy I would be incredibly happy I used to have my own 6.1 themes thanks to you but 6.5 theming is confusing as hell.

I attached my 6.5 screen. I just continue to use the same old themes I have been doing for the longest. Since I don't see a reason to upgrade to a Touch Pro yet (due to tooo many complaints about it being crap), I'd rather jump to an iphone 3GS and then keep a Mogul as a backup.

That's actually a pre manilla theme. Back when we used to run HTC Home on the phones. In 6.5, since the interface is mostly just menus, the old themes work really good.

Thanks for the tutorial! It was easy to make my own theme.

I do have a question, though. I recently upgraded from WM5 to WM6 and I can't stand looking at the glossy taskbars. Is there a way to make them solid colors or like WM5?

I tried UITweaker to do this, but it doesn't quite seem to "stick." And when it does work, there is a black line between the bar and the wallpaper that throws off the whole design, which I can't figure out how to deal with.

Any ideas? Thanks!!

There is a way to force the WM5 bars. It's been a loooooong time since I used ThemeGENCE but give me a few days and I'll post a screenshot of what you need to do.
