grey horizontal lines on screen

I noticed after a few days of using it that in many programs (tasks, contacts, calendar, & others, but not ALL programs), the screen is marked by gray horizontal lines or bars which fade out towards the left side of the screen. I wondered if it may be a problem in the screen protectors I use (Belkin), but the fact that the lines do not appear on the screen in certain programs seems to negate that possibility. Is anyone familiar with this?

Those lines are part of the theme that you are using. If you're using an old PPC2002 theme rather than WM2003 theme, sometimes the colour of the lines is too dark which makes it really hard so see what's on screen. Try changing the theme back to the default WM2003 one

not good
I have 2 options for the TODAY setting in personal settings - "spiral" or "windows default." I get the same lines with both options. They are more a light blue color when I choose the Windows default Today setting. What can I do? Those lines look like crud, to be frank, and a very faulty design.

Maybe you can dowload an other theme at www.pocketthemes.com and see what you can do
Good Luck
PS: Or make your own theme!!! :wink:

all the same
Sorry to say, I have tried various themes, including very light color and pastel - I still get the light blue lines going across the CALENDAR, TASKS, etc. I hope someone has a fix for this. Does it happen on everyone's PDA who use PPC 20003?

How to change the colour of a disappearing ok/close in a dialog?

Since I changed some colours with UI Tweaker, the ok/close in dialog boxes disappeared. Probably because the ok/close is black on a black background. Maybe it was changed when I selected Black Bars for taskbar and softkeys. After a soft reset, it is visible a few times and then it always disappears again. This never happens with the ok/close in the top task bar, only in windows like in the attached image.
Please see the attached screen capture where there should be an ok/close button on the top right of the dialog to close QuickClear (red arrow).
After a long search on the forum and Google, I didn't find any solution yet.
I am using a Mio A201 with WM 5.
Could you please help with:
- the location and name I have to search for in UI Tweaker to change this colour?
- the registry key to change it?
- the change to make in the theme or elsewhere?
Thanks for your help.

THe quick way to do this is to change the theme on settings/today.
This should then make the ok visible. The UI tweek settings only apply to the theme that you were using it on when you changed the settings.... thats how i got round it anyway when i got carried away and turned all text black on black backgrounds

Changing the theme was not enough, I also had to delete the registry entries under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\"name of theme".tsk
and then reload the theme, then it was ok.
Thanks very much for your help.

[Q] WM6.5 change colors of adressbook / phone app / communication manager M1i Aspen

I have a WM6.5.3 phone (Sony Aspen M1i) and want to change the color scheme of the phone app/addressbook/communication manager (these 3 seem related), which is now white text on black background with a dark gray selection marker and I absolutely hate it because I cannot read it outdoors, especially the selection marker is hard to see even indoors.
All installed color schemes in Settings->Homescreen only affect menubar and menu colors, but not the phone app.
I tried BaseHueExpress, but it didn't only affects Top-Bar and Bottom-Menubar.
Drives me nuts.
Thanks for any help!

[Q] Custom Accent Colors and Theme Help

So I installed the Advanced Configuration .xap from TouchXperience and set my custom accent color to Black. I also have the TouchXperience Registry Editor installed.
But now that my accent color is black, I can't see what volume I am at on that little "drop down" status bar. Is there anyway to change the color of the volume indicator or the background of that status bar?
Also, with having the accent color set to black, I can't see the time stamp text in the text messaging app. Is there anyway to change the color of that text?
Thanks.
If it makes a difference, I have the HTC Surround.

have the same problem, please help

...oh you dun a bad thing I had to reset after that...

I probably wouldn't have to reset if I saved the defualt settings for the values I changed, but of course I didn't.
If someone could post the default values for the following dark themes that would be grand:
PageBackgroundColor
SysTrayBackgroundColor
Chromecolor
