As you can see from the screenshots the top and bottom bars are transparent, i.e. you can see the wallpaper right up to the edges of the screen.

when you use these on WM6.1 the top and bottom taskbar go the same colour as the the colour used for the highlight (when you click on an item and it gets a different colour round it) and they are not transparent.

Cleaning Up the scrollbars

Windows mobile 6.5 has changed a lot of things to attempt to make things more finger friendly and a little easier on the eyes. One of the new additions to 6.5 is the skinnable scrollbars, and built in «scroll action» with the swipe of a finger. With everything going gestures, you may want to completely do away with scroll bars (and you can) but i suggest something a little different to cleanup your devices screen. Simply removing the up and down arrows.

If you are brave you can reduce the scrollbar’s width to a half or quarter their original «defaut» size and only use them to be able to identify your location on your screen. To do this you will need to set your arrows to zero and adjust your scroll bar width in your registry. I would use Schaps Advanced Config to make your registry changes because it is alot simpler and safer, but if you just must do them by hand, here are the keys:

Change the thickness of scrollbars
To change the thickness of the scrollbars at the right/bottom of documents larger than the screen, adjust.
For the horizontal (bottom) scrollbar:
HKLM\System\GWE\cyHScr = 9 (DWORD decimal)
For the vertical (right) scrollbar:
HKLM\System\GWE\cxVScr = 9 (DWORD decimal)
The default thickness is 13. You can set the value to anything you may like

Change the length of scrollbar arrow buttons
To go with changing the thickness of the scrollbars, you may wish to change the length of the scrollbar arrow buttons.
For the horizontal (bottom) scrollbar arrows:
HKLM\System\GWE\cyVScr = 0 (DWORD decimal)
For the vertical (right) scrollbar:
HKLM\System\GWE\cxHScr = 0 (DWORD decimal)
The default length is 13. You can set the value to pretty much anything you like​

PDA / Mobile | Windows Mobile 6.5 (wm 6.5) | 240MB

Windows Mobile is a compact operating system combined with a suite of basic applications for mobile devices based on the Microsoft Win32 API. Devices that run Windows Mobile include Pocket PCs, Smartphones, Portable Media Centers, and on-board computers for certain automobiles. It is designed to be somewhat similar to desktop versions of Windows, feature-wise and aesthetically. Additionally, third-party software development is available for Windows Mobile. Originally appearing as the Pocket PC 2000 operating system, Windows Mobile has been updated multiple times, with the current version being Windows Mobile 6.1 (Windows Mobile 6.5 is due for imminent release as at 14 July 2009).

Common features:
Windows Mobile for Pocket PC carries these standard features in most of its versions:
* Today Screen shows the current date, owner information, upcoming appointments, e-mail messages, and tasks.
* The taskbar shows the current time and the volume.
* Office Mobile a suite of Mobile versions of Microsoft Office applications
* Outlook Mobile comes with Windows Mobile.
* Internet Explorer Mobile is an Internet browser developed by Microsoft for Pocket PC and Handheld PC that comes loaded by default with Windows Mobile and Windows CE for Handheld PC.
* Windows Media Player for Windows Mobile.
* Client for PPTP VPNs.
* Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) which in mobile phones allows attached computers to share internet connections via USB and Bluetooth.

Hardware platforms:
Windows Mobile runs on multiple hardware platforms including Pocket PCs, smartphones, Portable Media Center, and automobiles. These hardware platforms did not always exist from the inception of Windows Mobile.

Pocket PC
The Pocket PC was the original intended platform for the Windows Mobile operating system. These devices consisted of both standalone Pocket PC devices without mobile phone capabilities, and those that included mobile phone capabilities. The most current name of Windows Mobile intended for use on Pocket PCs is officially «Windows Mobile 6 Professional» for devices with mobile phone capabilities and «Windows Mobile 6 Classic» for devices without mobile phone capabilities.

Smartphone
The Smartphone became the next hardware platform after the Pocket PC to run Windows Mobile, and debuted with the release of Pocket PC 2002. Although in the broad sense of the term «Smartphone», both Pocket PC phones and Microsoft branded Smartphones each fit into this category, it should be noted that Microsoft’s use of the term «Smartphone» includes only more specific hardware devices that differ from Pocket PC phones. Such Smartphones were originally designed without touchscreens, intended to be operated more efficiently with only one hand, and typically had lower resolution displays than Pocket PCs. Microsoft’s focus for the Smartphone platform was to create a device that functioned well as a phone and data device in a more integrated manner.[6] The current name of Windows Mobile intended for use on Smartphones is officially «Windows Mobile 6 Standard».

Portable Media Center
The Portable Media Center was a device that focused on integration with Microsoft’s Windows Media Center and Windows Media Player to allow users to carry their media libraries with them on the go. The Portable Media Center was officially introduced in 2004, and ran a modified version of Windows Mobile. These devices became the predecessor to Microsoft’s Zune, and after 2006 Microsoft discontinued the project in favor of the latter.

Automobiles
Microsoft Auto is the name for Microsoft’s operating system that facilitates multiple functions in automobiles including communication, entertainment, information systems. Windows Mobile for use in automobiles is the latest platform for the operating system, and was introduced by Microsoft in February 2006 at the Geneva International Motor Show. Microsoft Auto comes in two different versions. The Basic version includes a Bluetooth connectivity and USB interface for music playback. The Standard version includes this also, but additionally it features a built-in GPS, GSM phone, and security features. The Microsoft Auto hardware specification includes a 300 MHz ARM processor, 32 MB of RAM, and a microphone.
