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..
thanks again for the reply it helped..

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.

How to change T-Mobile Shadow's Neo Theme

Unless I overlooked something, these are the files you need to alter in order to change the background of the new Neo interface. These files are kept in the Windows directory on your phone.
These include all the Neo backgrounds and thematically similar backgrounds for the rest of Windows Mobile. I deliberately left out the landscape versions of the screens since there's little likelyhood you'd need them, but if you want, change those too.

Hey, how did you change the color for the comm manager? Also, when you were creating or using the icons, did you also have to make some for when they are inactive?

Thank you man.
Super useful!!

Hello, I just created cabs for different color themes for the Shadow, you can see how they look like in my personal site @freddyreyes.com:
Neo Blue Theme: http://freddyreyes.com/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=30&func=fileinfo&id=159
Neo Black Theme: http://freddyreyes.com/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=30&func=fileinfo&id=157
and if you want to go back the original T-Mobile Brown theme: http://freddyreyes.com/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=30&func=fileinfo&id=158
Those cabs also change the "application background" (what you see when you click on "start") and bar colors to match the themes.
Enjoy it.

nice work, i need to ask you something how you add more appplications inside the flo.. i mean in your pictures, i can see when you go to internet explorer, you have 6 items instead of 4. so you add google maps and stocks.. how you do that?

I'm working on putting together a cab file to do that. In the mean time you can see my current menu (registry entries) here: http://freddyreyes.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=71&topic=219.0

In order to simplify people lives (who don't want to do a lot of registry changes), I put together a cab file that extends the Intenet Menu and add an additional Menu.
1- This cab file modify the existing "Internet Menu" and adds Weather, News, OperaMini Links to it.
2- Creates an additional Menu with links to Google Maps, Traffic, Movies (TCPMP), Calculator, SmartPhone Notes and YouTube (vtap)
Note: It assumes that you have those applications installed in your "Storage Card"
My phone is already customized so I can't test it. I'm looking for volunteers to test it.

...Wow this is great but can I ask will this work on HTC TORNADO?

That will just install the color scheme. You still need to install the plugin itself on Tornado.

newb question: how to get color icons?

Ok ya'll, I searched my arse off and cant find any info:
I am using Dutty's v4 rom, and its excellent, but the gray is just so bland. How can I liven up my today screen with some color icons or a background picture?
Thanks for all the help too. This board is amazing. I wish I could do what you guys do.

what u want is htc home customizer

Search the kaiser sections for a keyword of "theme" this will provide tons upon tons of excellent images that people here have spent lots of time creating. If you want to customise the look of HTC home then, as previously mentioned, get hold of HTC Home Customiser pack and if you can find it also the additional appearance pack that contains extra icons etc.
Another key search phrase would also be "TSK"

To counter some of the negative vibe round here lately...here's a link for you. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=ATOM_USER_THEMES

[THEME] Updated! KF_Blue_Grey_v0.60 - Fixed IncomingCall.bmp

Hi all,
This is my first stab at creating a blue-ish theme. I've got round to removing all the green I believe but I didn't get a chance to change the grey highlights to blue as well hence releasing as a blue-grey theme.
Do feedback!
Update: 24/11/2009
After many failed attempts I've managed to sort the dialer out for incoming calls (see new screenshots).
Version History:
v0.60
- All green within manila changed to blue except stocks tab (I prefer it green there)
- IncomingCall.bmp fixed so that it works
To do:
- I had blue highlights for Dutty's task manager working, not sure why it's not on this release will update asap.
Download: KF_Blue_Grey_v0.60

I've got the cab ready but I'm having trouble uploading it, cab is 5Mb and zipped up is 2.6MB which is well within the attachment limits. Any suggestions guys?
Thanks!

try to upload it somewhere... it looks very nice... my question is: that icons on top bar are updated too, or is it only color in sense?

maybe you can split package into two...

The taskbar icons I installed separately, however, the phone canvas uses the same dll where the images are stored so for this release it'll be without the phone canvas.
I'll try split into two cabs!

please upload to 4shared or speedyshare

Great work, very nice I prefer the blue to the green. Look forward to the phone canvas to complete this. Many thanks my friend. Any ETA when this will be cabbed up.

Nice work, blue bits work just fine on my blackstone running Sh3lby 1.6 rom, manila 2.5.1921xx. Unfortunately the phone canvas doesn't work (get a corrupted image making the phone unusable). Just a warning for anyone else who wants to try it

There is a way, but I can't for the life of me find the thread for it. They are just simple .cabs, I had looooads but I deleted them after installing Windows 6.5.x as I didn't need to use them. I'll keep searching and hopefully someone will link you to a thread in the meanwhile!

Hello Everyone!
Hi guys 'n' girls.
Thanks Kalavere for pointing me to this thread
Was getting a little frosty in my other thread..
I'm looking for a few things for 6.5...
1) A collection of start icon's (only the icon, no text). Also a separate remove text cab would be nice as I've seen a few others that would give a limb for one...
2) I've not yet seen any of these yet but I'm after a collection of animated load icons (you know, the win icon that spins)
3)A collection of stand alone volume skins. Have seen a couple of these but they always seem to incorporate something else (not that I'm picky lol)
I'm mainly looking for Dusk and Anastasia themed items but i would love to see what else is out there!
Thank you in advance for any help!
Any hints to threads would be greatly appreciated!
Ps. @ Kalavere, I love your profile pic! I'm big in to Gas masks my self, had to mention!

Thanks a lot. Tried but no help. The taskbar I use is from anastasia. However the Start icon change in itself is not possible.
Also the "Start" text written on the top cannot be removed. Is there a way for it really.
It will eb a very nice idea to make a collection of
Volume icons
SMS icons
Battery icons
Start icons
and customization of start text.
Anyone upto it?

You can definitely, definitely change just the icon alone. I just can't find the damned things!

I've found an answer to that, thanks to dafunk2.
TO ALL OF YOU THAT WANT ONLY THE CUSTOM WAIT CURSOR:
No guys, there is no way to make a cab for only the custom wait cursor.
This is because the custom wait cursor graphics are into the file shellres.192.dll. Into this file reside also many of the taskbar icons and other miscellaneous graphics. If I make a cab with only the file shellres.192.dll and you install it, you will have my wait cursor, but you will have many of my taskbar icons as well. It's good if you use my taskbar (but if you use my taskbar you already have my cursor ), but if you use another taskbar....you can easily understand what can happen.
So this is why there's no way to make a cab that installs only the cursor.
I'm thinking about to make some colors variations of the cursor, but I think that I will make them for cookers (and who knows how to edit dlls) and I will post the 32bit bitmaps in the Windows Mobile Themes section.
I'm sorry.....but I'm explaining why this is impossible
Anyway, many thanks for the great interest for my custom wait cursor
