its such a pretty phone with such a pretty interface and yet there are some graphical inconsistencies that are buggin the hell out of me. when touchflo 3d is turned on and off the start menu and quick menu change color schemes. i dont like any of those colors the way they are and i want to change them. how would i go about doing this? thanks. and it doesNT matter about the colors withOUT touchflo 3d because i will probably always have it on. i was just showing that it was different and how weird that is.
btw im running da_g's clean fuze rom which is why it doesnt quite look like the oem rom. i also included screenshots to show you what i am talking about.

any help? no? i just want to change some colors.
You might want to look at this thread. It's the Manila customizer. There's far more you can do than just color changes, but I think it's your only hope, unless you find an existing theme that somebody else already made.
so it is in the manilla theme? cause i installed the stock att theme from da_g's cab list and it looks different than the stock roms which made me think it was a registry entry that was not added. but ill check it out.
i felt a bit overwelmed last time i tried to use manilla customizer when i was trying to change the background on all tabs, which ended up never getting changed. but ill have another go at it and maybe ill get more things just the way i want.
what i figured out was it wasnt manilla customizer i used it was manilla editor i had used. but both are useless. HKLM\Software\HTC\EnlargeMenu\ and HKCU\Software\HTC\TaskManager\ and the dwords ManilaCustomHlDown and ManilaCustomHlUp in each which let me change select colors. its hex but its backwards hex so instead of rgb its bgr. that stumped me for like 15 minutes. and apparently you use the string CustomManilaTexture to change the backgrounds but its not working for me yet. ill fiddle with that until it does.

Guys, I was at the Modaco meeting this weekend, and one of the Microsoft guys there said that the green theme has just been given legal clearance to be released to the public.
Give it a while and then we can start bugging them if they don't release it.

Has anyone of you any idea on how to switch back to the traditional blue colored homescreen ?
Would that be an easy task or require modification of the firmware ?
Asking urgently for advice !
Thanks.
It's a Theme
Settings->Today :roll:
As I see there is still no info about the green htc theme ....
is there any tytn roms avaliable for download? maybe i will be able to dump one a get the theme from there.
I think the Theme is just a .TSK file in the \Windows folder.
The only thing different is the CommManager.. ..you can't skin that yourself. So you have to extract that.
Havn't seen any ROM for the TyTN yet
Here is the HTC TyTN Theme. This will not change the Phone Skin or Comm Manager Application
sweet thanks!!!!
thanks a lot rkorzuch i have searched for this theme a lot
thank you for sharing!
that green is hard to match!
HTC_default.tsk vs HTC_default using start image theme
Ben thon sent me an updated HTC_default.tsk theme he made using start image only (no tdywater.gif). Ben noted there were differences between the 2 themes even though they use identical color keys and images.
This may be because WM5 chooses dominant color in the Today image.
The differences seen are in the title bar and menu text - see pics
Please try both versions and post your results.
I have attached both tsk files the normal one without the system attributes that made it hard to copy theme via activesync.
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
How do I change the "skin/theme) of HTC Touch Diamond. Please answer, I really need to know how do this.

Use one of the tools listed above. They work for the diamond too.

Settings+ is a little simpler to use, but RC Mod can give me a more precise color.
Hi all,
Been on the forum for a couple of months. It's been a great learning experience. I Have a Touch Pro and have Downloaded and installed ROMeOS2 v1.50.4 B1208 and flashed the radio to 1.02.25.28 Raphael (better than .32 version for me which I flashed to first).
I have also installed Diamond TF3D Config 0.6.7 and attempted to install new themes.
Here's my problem - no matter which theme I install - I can't change the red "flame" background on the home screen. I've spent several hours looking around, searching to no avail. It's time to ask.
What am I not doing?! Or doing wrong?
Thanks much,
David
tf3d settings tab (like a gear cog), tap wallpaper, use default.
edit: assuming you've already changed theme and the home tab is the only thing you are having an issue with.
from what i'm reading, might be just my interpretation, but it sounds like you're simply just havign a problem with the wallpaper, not the theme? isn't the simple fix as venelar described, and using whichever wallpaper you want (assuming you have a wallpaper you'd like to use and know the file location)
Yes, It is wallpaper I cannot seem to change. Where is
tf3d settings? I can't find the settings icon in programs, accessories, settings, etc - I've looked everywhere!
its a tf3 tab. generally all the way to the right. has the communications stuff on it that you press to go into comm manager to turn on off wifi/bluetooth etc..

You looked everywhere, but must have missed the Settings tab in TF3D.
When you are on your TF3D homepage, go to the settings tab (by sliding your thumb to the right untill you get to the tab named 'Settings').
On that tab there is a rule stating: Wallpaper. It is the third option on the settings tab. I bet its even explained in the manual .
if you want to change the right softkey all you have to do is:
1: Download my manila file
2: Backup the original 07c67730_manila file in your windows folder
3: Copy my manila file to your windows folder
4: With your favorite registry editor goto: HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila
5: Change: HomeRSKPath / HomeRSKText / HomeRSKArguments to what ever you like
For contacts change HomeRSKPath to: Manila://people\browserlayer\?.page
To remove quick Links without the menu all you do is hold the quick link you dont want for about 3-4 seconds and then drag it away this works on my rom but gessing its the same for all roms

FYI, I used HD2Tweaks to achieve the same result without the hassle of backup up/copying manila files, going into the registry etc.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=588652
Nice iv never used hd2tweaks before gess ill have to make mine even better so that it will have some use
*EDIT*
After testing hd2tweaks the right softkey setting never worked for me so i gess this is for people where hd2tweaks dont work
*EDIT*
Don't know if it's the Dutty ROM I have, Co0kie's Home Tab, or the ROM that you use, but the long-hold on quicklinks does nothing for me. Shame, because that sounded like a nice feature.
im also useing duttys rom so i gess its the Co0kie's Home Tab
I'm using an old version of a Dutty ROM - HG v0.8. It could be something that he himself introduced, if you're using a later version than me, but if that's the case then I'm pretty sure installing Co0kie's Home Tab would stop it working.
Im useing dutty HG 2.9
I was trying to make a customizable right softkey menu but run into some problems. I could make any of the menu items run anything that i set in the registry but i could not change the menus text
E.G i could make it so that when you click on somethink like Set Local Time and Date it would open the all people page but i could not change the text from saying Set Local Time and Date to say Contacts or any kind of text
the menu is loaded from Manila://home_menu.dialog if anyone knows how i can make my own .dialog so i can change the menu it would be grate
Thank you Splder!
It is perfect!
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.
