Colors and more

Hi bros,
I installed and used the allblack thme, but still topand down are greyish. When I open the theme wih tkcreator, everthing looks black. How can you make it all black? (see pic)
I read about a carbon fiber skin (theme) for phonealarm, but I can't find it. Can anyone post it plse?

Try this. an improved version, should give you a black one.
You can get the better versionn of the carbonfiber skin from phonealarm website

Thanks guys

My lookalike screen, but better
Guys, thank you again for the information. I think that I stick with this screen. It looks good and is better than iphone screens, since our hima has so much more to offer.

So in the end how did you get your theme black?

registry tweaks
i have a mda compact 2 not sure if its a charmer or magician..can you tell me how do i remove the battery icon from the bottom taskbar to the top task..

Charmer. Go Wiki and find t-mobile official site. Flash the new AKU ROM (Eg the update available to download) will do the job.

I would like to know as well...I tried installing the attached theme and still got the gray bars. Tried ThemeGen and UITweaker also, same story. Maybe my Wizard doesn't like black?

Have a read around the VJBaseHue threads. ZeBoxx posted some of the registry settings for an all black theme I think, and some of the users posted great links to ready made ones.

Just did a quick read through of your BaseHue forum and downloaded the CAB...installing it now although I think it may be the answer...

Unfortunately BaseHue wasn't the answer for my Wizard (but a nice app nonetheless)...
I did find a theme that got rid of my persistent gray bars and gave me the black that I was after.
Black Theme Here
It actually downloads as a pack of 4 themes for WM5 machines...the carbon black extra, or whatever it is was the one I used to great effect on my PPC.

Sorry, I hoped I was clear. BaseHue alone won't help you, but the research done by ZeBoxx and others and discussed in that thread, and the themes posted in that thread and others utitiled the flat soft keys needed for an all black theme IIRC.

Somewhere in My Documents on your device. I think it must be in the Themes folder.

WM6.1 "Slide"/"Slide Media" Home Screens (All Colours)

Matching wallpapers for all the colours available in Gonzo's WM6.1 ROM!
Default (Green), Light Green, Blue, Red, Yellow, Magenta, Grey, Brown, Purple. Extract to HOME dir on phone.
Have fun!
EDIT: This is the final release! Colours tweaked, rounded corners added to all schemes, works in both screen modes. Colours are available from the Home Screen Layout menu. No need to change wallpaper and colour scheme anymore, everything is automated.
The theme shown here is Light Green. The rest of the preview screenshots follows a few posts below! "Slide Media" Home Screens added.

thanks
thats what i was looking for...

Me to, now the Red theme will look like the Guava theme from WM6.
Roland

you have made WM6.1 look like WM6 by putting the curved bar under the icon bar. Thanks for making my WM6.1 Vox looking even cooler than it already did.
Roland

Thank you!
FIRST POST UPDATED! The final release has been uploaded. Please delete the old one, as it will only waste space on your phone, when using the new rls.

The rest of the previews... As follows, Blue, Red, Grey, Purple, Magenta, Green, Brown, Yellow.

Danke! I've been looking for some themes for my SMT5800 and these seem killer.

amazing.. tho..
great work. now we may not need any custom themes at all, we can keep recycling these .. in order to match our moods..

Hello,
It's look great but I think I missed something.
Is there any plugin to run this screen? I copied all files (included in Colours.zip and Slide Media.zip) into Home Dir and it's doesn't work...
Any complementary information ?
Thanks

Just one comment, I'm using the blue theme and in the call status when taking or doing a call i get the default green background..

Well you obviously need WM61 on your phone, are you trying to use this on a WM6 ROM maybe?
When you extract the files to the Home DIR, there shoud be a bunch of xml-files named "Slide (Colour)" and a directory called Slide, that's it mate!

Task Manager Topbar Icon

Hey guys, just made these images for changing the Topbar Task Manager Icon. Feel free to use openly. They are based off of the default Notification Icon for the Task Manager on Windows 7.

And, Battery Icons I'm working on...
Edit: Right-click and save as, than copy to kaiser/Tilt to view to see what it'll look like better. Has numbers for percentage that aren't showing in the thumbnail below due to them being white and too close to the page's background color...

why can't I see attched photos?
sorry, may this is not about your thread, but I am interested it.

They are very small, 16x16 Pixel, the size of the topbar icons. So they maybe showing up on your screen and you may have just overlooked them depending on your screen resolution.
I'm saving the battery icons atm, will upload a zip soon...

Here's all the Battery Images.

These are just the images. You need to edited the dll/mui's to replace the default icons used.

This is a very old thread now. The images need to be put into the taskservice.dll of an old build of the Task Manager. The new version doesn't support skinning of this type. Please see this thread for more information on the newer builds that use a binary registry value to control the icon.

Edit colors?

If you don't mind me asking, how did you get the red highlights on Dusk's taskbar?
Looks good.

Try this
http://www.mightyrom.com/2010/02/18/lil-ricos-slappahoe-red-theme/
I use the Blue theme and it's great 'cause it changed everything blue, so I suspect the red will be the same. Caution though, this may use the standard enhanced menu vs the shortened enhanced menu, this depends on what the ROM chef you use has loaded. What happens is that file manager and other window non-manilla wm programs the menu will not match up. To fix this copy your htcmenu.png file and save it, when you install the "red theme" if you have trouble copy your saved file back. The HTCmenu.png file is in the \windows sub-dir on your device.
I learned this the hard, hard way and spent hours and hours and hours figuring this out.

[THEME][UPDATE] GreengerBlack v1.1 [Overcome KRATOS]

Hey Friends,
I've mixed up a theme with the classic Gingerbread Icons (exept the battery).
This theme is made on the base of the "Meizu Dark theme" from natious (you will see some colors and impressions of this)
so thanks a lot.
Sorry, the screenshots are a little crap
Update:
Now I use the Installation file from Meizu Dark with the most of natious themed apks. It shut be complett. My sugestion is replace the bootanimation with the "Particel ring" and flash the themed calendar.apk from sohrab1985. Looks great.
If you don't like the Battery, you can change it with the UOT Kitchen
New Version:
add providersettings.apk from meizu Dark
add calculator.apk from meizu Dark
add settings.apk
add swipe.apk from meizu Dark
add mms.apk from meizu Dark
add contacts.apk from meizu Dark
add a few fonts from meizu Dark
Download:
http://netload.in/dateiHEfqugMCfO/GreengerBlack1.1.zip.htm
Have fun and keep it simple

Please, tell me if there any problems.

look great... testing now.

great theme but i love blue on black or white on black ... but still great theme well done

Fab I like it a lot. This'll stay installed for a while. Any chance of sticking a percentage in the battery icon?!

Use UTO kitchen to change the battery. Just go to the page, make your choise and upload the systemUI.apk (root/system/app) and the framework-res.apk (root/system/framework). UTO Kitchen works not at every option but for change the Battery does it work.
my Tab fights with Kratos

This is a great theme, thanks a lot for sharing! But I have a quick question:
Is there is a very plain and basic 100% Stock Gingerbread Theme for KRATOS?... just the 100% stock mostly BLACK (which saves battery) along with orange highlights that comes straight from Google... nothing else or modified just stock, no more no less!
Thanks for the advice.

I can try it at the Weekend but I can not do any promise. If you have other wishes or suggestions, tell me. Maybe you like 6 Bottens in the quick setting bar for example.
Btw: I'm just a expirienced user so I have no special skills to do this. I also have no original GB Themed device so I don't know how the Stock theme looks exactly but I'll do my best.

Thank you very much for your reply. I am not sure which the Quick Settings button is that you refer but its OK, the only thing basically I would like is to strip out all customizations that Samsung and the KRATOS chef did, and have a lean and plain stock Gingerbread like Ive seen n most phones. Its a pure battery-saving theme with most screens using black background and highlighted items are orange. If you can look at a few standard phones with Gingerbread in it they will all look the same kind of like this. It is actually the most simple and cleanest interface.
Anyway, thank you VERY MUCH for your interest and effort and I look forward when you have time to try it and give you feedback. I know many other members and users of the galaxy tab would appreciate having a stock Android look on their machine that has been impossible because of the changes Samsung made to their ROMs.
Danke noch einmal

Hi guys! Im making a theme for Kratos and am stuck. Can someone help and tell me WHERE the icon (below attached) that pops up on the task bar during Media Scanning, is hidden? I looked everywhere, all system APKs I can think of including framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk and cannot find it anywhere. Its driving me crazy!

HELP with some elements
Its been a while I posted on this great thread and have since then done a lot of customization on my Tab but now stuck on 5 key elements id like to know if someone can help me:
1) How do I change the background color of the Phone App? On all 5 tabs of he phone app (Dialer, Logs, Contacts, Groups, Favorites + the outgoing dialing screen itself) the background is White. I want it changed to black but dont seem to locate the file. I was successful in changing the background color to black on the incoming call screen (the files are call_incoming_bg.png and call_incoming_bg_h.png on the phone.apk and just made them black and that's it)... looks super nice. But for the outgoing calls screen and phone app itself, its all still white and I dont know where to edit or if there is a PNG file that control the background.. I dont seem to know where it is (see attachments 1 & 2)
2) I wanted to change the Missed Call icon with a custom I made that I already and use on the top taskbar, that was very easy (its the stat_notify_missed_call.png in framework-res.apk). But the same icon that's displayed in the phone's Log tab I dont seem to locate where it is and to my surprise its NOT in the phone.apk. Can someone tell me where that file is? (see attachment 3)
3) I have managed to successfully tweak many of the elements of the notification pull down menu, like giving it transparency in certain parts on bottom and top, but I cant control color or transparency of the background of the ONGOING operations that have a fixed white background and that id like to change. (see attachment 3) Equally, Id like to change the color and some of the wordings of the WIFI, BLUETOOTH, GPS, SILENT, ORIENTATION LOCK functions. Where can I edit those?
4) Where can I edit the white background color of the pop-up Power-Off menu on the tab that is white (see attachment 5)? I edited the icons easily from the framework-res.apk but dont seem to know what controls the background color..
5) Finally, which files control the blues that usually are displayed in most dialog pop-ups and dialogues? I want to change them to black and grey but have no idea where they are located and which files I should edit.
When Im all done Ill post my theme for download, I think maybe some users might like to give it a try and feedback will be welcome wither way
In advance, thanks a lot for your expert advice on all this
