I read on another post to get the glossy black theme, by changing this string.
Code:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Color\BaseHue=dword:0 default b0d57b in the MB rom.
my problem is that only change the top and bottom bar to black.. I also want to know if anyone knows the string to change the side bars and start drop menu to black or clear cause I use pocketbreeze and ilancher. thank you for input.
even if you change it through the registry, its gonna go back if you change the wallpaper or anything. Right now im working on a permanent black theme but havent been able to have any success.
I think it has something to do with the shell32.exe that I cannot modify with reshacker or Resource editor.
Anyone got any ideas?
Searching for black.
yeah after I use the registry string, the top and bottom bars of wm6 works as black and glossy but the side bars...and inbetween lines when you have other programs installed such as pocketbreeze and ilauncher the lines are still blue from the theme that comes with MB rom is there anyone to have them clear so it looks more tidy? or trying to get rid of that colour to black. As for pocket breeze if anyone wants to remove the lines in the tabs...you have to edit the skin.ini file.
Try This?

This theme, cyclic_blackbars.tsk has very black, shiny bars.
I don't know how it does it, because when I look at the menubar color setting in SKTools it says 137, but if you have any other theme up and you plug in 137 in the menubar color setting, you don't get this shiny black.
Maybe you can take the theme apart and figure more out from it.

I have not been able to duplicate shiny black with BaseHueExpress, nor have I been able to create a turquoise with it that really matches the Crossbow theme color.

I think this theme may have come from one of Molski's packages, so it may be in that Molski theme pack, but just the one I like, that has the shiny black bars, cool black-to-white shading on menu dropdowns and on popups, and a cool black,blue and gray wallpaper is below:
just make your basehue value to anything between 160 and 175 and u'll have shiny black bars, change wallpapers all you want after that, it'll remain shiny black. The problem is most theme generators dont let u assign values higher that 80 in greyscale for basehue...
There are a bunch of themes that have black start menus, black scroll bars though i havent seen yet, ill try that when i get home and see how it looks. If it looks ok ill post the theme but, again to get the top and bottom bars black ull have to change the basehue in the registry as the program i use to make themes wont let me assign a value higher than 80 for greyscale basehue.

I used basehue and than just took a picture with my lens covered and use it as background. Looks good, I'm sure there is a more high tech way to do it but this seemed to work fine.
thanks for share

I look at it ,,,,, now I see that there must be about 13-14 reg change to get done. ----Back to the original black background-----
Just got an htc vox running wm6 at work and would like to make my own homescreens. Does anyone know of a good editor for this?
id like to make up a crossbow looking theme (those nice shiny bars! ) but in an orange hue rather than the green red or teal i have the choice of as standard.
Any help would be great.
Thanks
did u ever find a app?
Hey!
I have been looking for a black theme for my prophet.. And yes it should be ALL BLACK! Not the grey color the htc touch comes with, and i know you can adjust the basehue registry to make it even darker but i want it all black
without the glossy effekt.. Anyone knows where i can get such tsk file ?

Hi,
just a quick question. Is there a fixed HTC Black theme cab for WM 6.5.3 roms? The "blue" theme start bar on the bottom looks horrible with HTC Sense. I read in multiple threads, though, that the original "HTC Black" theme does not work on 6.5.3 out of the box. Has anyone fixed this or can anyone recommend a similar theme that makes the lower and upper bars in WM6.5.3 black?
Thank you and sorry for the possibly stupid question. I could not find a definite answer in any of the Leo threads.
have you tried it? our is it something you read?
personally i don't think this is horrible..
(ignore the running aps icons from xtask)
Which theme is that? This looks ok. Most pictures show the "Blue" theme, where the entire bottom and top bar is blue. Why do you have two start buttons, though? One is bottom one is top.
This looks a nice theme http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=578468

here is nrgz28's pure black theme extracted from his jul 24 rom.
"h**p://hotfile.com/dl/61036858/2f55853/EnergyROM_Transp_Softkeys.tsk.html"
This one is pretty nice, also. There are 6.5 and 6.5.X versions. The thread starts with the top (notification) taskbar mods; scroll down for the Black themes and bottom softkeybars. I am currently using it with NRG's 23XXX ROM's.
I have installed Sprint Lovers ROM CE OS 5.2.28232 (Build 28232.5.3.3) on my Sprint TP2.
In this ROM, the softkeys in the bottom menubar are all round. However, I have seen screen shots of many other wm6.5.3 custom ROMs that have the more elegant round version of menubar's softkeys. Compare the menubars in my two screen shots to see what I mean.
Does anyone know how to change the menubar softkeys to the round versions? If anyone knows of any ROM that has this added features for Sprint TP2, please let me know.
Thanks for your help.
check the thread you started @ ppcgeeks, you have some answers there.
For those interested, someone replied to my post in PPCGeeks. All you have to do is change the theme from HTC Black to Classic Blue or others in the settings.
Here is another request for everyone. Does anyone know of a CAB for a theme that preserves the HTC Black them but uses the round buttons instead of the squared ones? I don't like the blue, red, purple, orange, or green highlighting that I get from these other themes. I rather have the gray highlighting of HTC Black theme, but I want to get the round buttons instead of the squared ones. Does anyone know of a way doing this?
