[Q] Changing Default Background Color - General Questions and Answers

So I have been looking all over and cannot find an answer anywhere. i dont know if it can be done even! but god i hope so.
I am trying to change the default windows background color. not the task bar, not the background... Here is an example:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
see the blue gradient in the background? how do i change that!?
Also, what about the blue lines on the today screen? can i make those Orange somehow? here is another example:
the blue lines that extend from the dates or the blue line that divides the menu programs from the recent programs.
Help!
Thank You so much!
PS: What is this called? haha.

Download and install RC Mod. Spend some time playing with its features. It does exactly what your looking for and then some.
Enjoy

look for Settings+, it's an active thread in the Dev&Hack section. you can change the general colors of the device using the app.
Not sure about the background tho.

UI tweaker does it all i believe, just needs patience as not too use friendly on some devices

Both work Excellent!
Settings+ is a little simpler to use, but RC Mod can give me a more precise color.

[Help] How do I change the top bar and bottom bar colors?

I have a ATT Tilt w/ default rom.
The WAD2 theme I am using is black, however, the top bar and bottom bar are still the default blue. So when I go into file explorer or click on the start button, the default blue bars ruin my theme.
Any way to change those to black?
I searched and came across some threads, but those went beyond what I was looking for and confused me (not a programmer).
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
I am even welling to install WA3 to get it black.
Hope this helps

You should search for BlackBerry Redux theme.
Someone else did it and it is an amazing theme. I have changed a couple items to match my needs and WAD2 is great for that. Easy to learn also.

[Help Please] Simple Graphics Request

Hi
I am using the Blackberry Redux theme and have a problem.
The problem is that the phone in the upper-left hand corner allows me to choose the volume profile I would like, however, there is no icon for Vibrate Profile. I have tried to contact the design, but have had no luck.
I also tried to create my own (spent 15 minutes) in Paint, but that didn't turn out transparent and ruined the whole theme.
Is there anyway someone can take one of the images below and change it to vibrate? It does not have to be fancy or anything. The first one is for "Normal/Loud" profile and the second one if for "Silent" profile.
I would greatly appreciate is someone can help me out with this so the theme can be close to perfect. Thank you very much in advance to anyone who helps me. Thank you!

Possible suggestion:
Since the first image (currently used for Loud/Normal Profile) already looks like its for vibrate, mayone someone can change it so that the noise lines are coming out of the earpiece and mouthpiece. Then i can just use that for the Loud/Normal Icon and then use the current Lound/normal icon for vibrate.
Just a suggestion. i am not picky, I just want to finish making the theme perfect before school starts and I don't have any time to change my phone around. Thank you.
You need paint.net (free) or photoshop (not free) or gimp (free) to edit images that allow transparency.
PS i recommend paint.net
i'm sorry but i don't really have th time.
you can use any software that supports the use of the png format.
just 2minutes in Fireworks
hope that is okay!

I tried it, but it isn't transparent.
Is there anyway you can make it .PNG format? thank you
it actually IS transparent.. but it's not a regular JPG file.. it's an arithmetic jpeg.. which is rarely supported.
you can use photoshop elements to decode it.
reup in a few minutes try it as png, dunno why it is a jpg..

Have you soft reset you're device?
Because both taskbar and softkey bar will be converted as well.
I've tested them all, and on my device they're all ok.

Hi,
First of all I like your backgrounds.
But now everything is covered in christmas, including the "topbar/systray" and bottom. How do I remove it again and use it simply as a background?
Thanks!

System Colors?

hi @all
i'm using the latest energy rom from here. I was trying to change the colors of outlook and the rest of the original windows mobile stuff from white background to black background and white text with sktools.
So far, so godd but i have the problem, that now the contact list is white background/white text just the highlighted one is ok. in SMS view via outlook it works great and even some menus are good some others not working that way but i think these are sense menus which would be ok for me. For example the file manager is also as i like it. what to do to solve this problem is there a solution? or maybe an easier way to change just this white background into black and the main text into white?
you probably will not able to do, wm background color value is used for others screens, I mean: when you set a black BG ,the same value is used for something else (can't remember which element.. text or highlight).
then every black background has this side effect.
the best you can reach is this dark grey combination (from Artemis rom thread and a WP7 variation) that let you read the text in all situations

you can also play with the attached UITweaker , not every option work on wm6.5 but the most of them do, and make all your tests.
for more infos check out the windows mobile forum and look for skinning WM6.5 threads
thanks alot! i got an compromise now which is working well so far. with sktools i swapped the color values and somehow now it works great even the highlighted stuff is ok so i found nothing which is incorrect so far even the settings menu or so it's fine don't know why it wasn't working the first time i did that. i would go over to android but i need the garmin app which is not working under it.
