Anyone know the registry string for Black theme in wm6

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

WKTask on WM6.5

Is it possible to make wktask background transparent in wm6.5?
In wm6.5 im forced to set black or very dark wallpaper if i wanna use wktask cause otherwise bar seen behind the icons of running apps.
Or maybe is there other app shows running apps in taskbar icons..?
attached some examples of what i mean:

Hi,
there is an option in register "design" - Force 3D design even it flat theme
disable this option and the bar should have the style you want...
but don´t really know if this works on transparent backround too....

yes i'm doing it & i have flat bar but not transparent, screenshots just example i found in google...

same problems here
any registry edit to resolved this problem?

Same problem.. It's a pity, this soft is so great.. Any other soft with same features?

Try this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=606162
It's great!

Does it have same feaures (program icons on the top bar) than Wktask?

See the screenshots.

yeah but is the ugly X blue icon? the close one?

Nopes. That's the program icon.
It shows like this:

And why are icons on the active program title? Is it normal?

Errr, how would you switch tasks if there wasn't any icons in the active program bar?

yep but wktask can hide the title when more than 1 program launched. Not this one? It's very ugly with the icon mixed with title.... Are there people here who accept it?

This is a simple and effective program.
But you are too complicated for me.
I give up.

it look pretty good, but jst because icons come on the titles.. I will wait for releases

looking for a solution for transparent background. Would make my taskbar so much more beautiful.
I realised that despite disabling the battery meter on top, there is stil some extra 5 pixels of additional taskbar (for the battery meter). On WM6.1, disabling it takes away the extra pixels, but not on WM6.5.x

Statusbar_background trasparency???

Is possible transform statusbar_background in trasparency?? Sorri for my English!!!

Not by just making the png transparent... I tried that but it turned the statusbar all black

Not without framework modifications because the way it is currently implemented means that the client (app) currently running doesn't draw below the status bar.
So, even if you make it transparent somehow there is nothing below it.

so is there any oportunity to modify framework in this way?
i realy would like to have transparent status bar

ive always thought that the notification bar should be taken away

This subject is discussed at length in the Themes section of the forum.

reading is fundamental, also guess what this forum has handy little search feature located at the top right corner!!!

had to get rid of the evil post count lol

Nope. at least it hasnt been done yet... mebbe someday

You know, I've always wanted to know if there are any changes anyone has made to that aspect of the framework... I would love a thinner bar at the top.

mine was transparent on the HERO rom that i had, i forgot which rom it was, i think it was jac 7.6.something.. it was kind transparent but it was tinted black with darker checker boards. i'm talkign about the notification bar when you scroll it down that whole page

They are talking about making the status bar transparent, and it hasnt been done because it causes errors, or at the very least, it just returns as a solid color. There is a thread discussing the problems with this and the launcher background being transparent. And as much as you dont want to sift through all those posts, what makes you think I want to find it for you? Dont be so lazy.

i thought it was easily done, the only problem being that the wallpaper stops at the status bar, hence it being all black. or am i mistaken?

I believe I tried it once, and it was all black. There is nothing underneath it but black screen. You are not mistaken.

Smartdial and Talk button Colors

Ok, I've seen this in some custom roms (not many) where the smartdial area and talk button are not this boring grey and green talk button. But, on older dialer's the smartdial color was just a bitmap to change it as well as the talk button. That doesn't seem to be the case now and I would like to see mods done with it or a tutorial on how to do it. Thanks.

Anyone? I have changed the smartdial04.bmp file and when I copy it to Windows, it doesn't change

Are you looking fore something like this?

I'd recommend Dinik's dailer 2.0. glassy buttons and clolored call and end keys, also beautiful in call buttons. check it out! keyboard cab is sweet too!

Thanks guys and I know of all Dinik's stuff. The area I'm talking about is the highlight where your phone numbers are (grey in color). Changing the color of that area. I've seen it on a few roms (ok, maybe one..NRGZ's) where it changed to blue. Which I know is indicated by Smartdial_04.bmp if I'm not mistaken. But, if I change that color and drop it into windows, the color of the selection bar is still unchanged.

realised i was wrong. post needs deleting

[Q] x10i 2.1 transparent status bar?

transparent? not that i know. but you can use third party homescreen launchers to make it "invisible"

Transparant would be cooler though!

Not yet, but... I've pulled the framwork-res.apk and modified the backgroud to the task bar and have attached the results.
I haven't modified anything else in the bar, hence the icons for signal etc are still blue/black... but I will do.
The only problem with this is what colour do you have the text on the bar, as the background in apps also comes through
(I was thinking that instead of a fully see through bar, that I'd create an opaque one when I get home, as I only have paint on this PC)
EDIT: I was also looking to modify the lock screen to be slightly opaque, to match the bar at the top
Will post updates here once I've done them

Looking forward to the results!

I can remove the background to the icons, there is just a lot of them and I am at work, plus I have photoshop on my mac at home, and only MSpaint here.
I'll see what I can do for the glass effect, and was thinking of doing a few different see through colour variants (i.e. black, white, red etc)
As before, I think the main issue is going to be the text, but if there is a tint of colour, it should be easy enough to read (we'll see)
Hopefully I'll be able to put up a very beta version today or tomorrow, including the lock screen mods so you can see how it will look.
I'll put a new thread up when I have this beta bit done

I'm really looking forward to your transparent theme. I've been looking for one on my X10 for ages and I'm not skilled enough to do it myself.
Thanks in advance!

To be honest, I'm not sure. I haven't used the Metamorph app, so will give it a go.
I've been using adb to test

Update Time!
Quick update, its a little trickier than I originally anticipated, but more or the status bar icons have been updated (I still have a lot to do yet)
So, I thought I'd show what I have done so far...
As you can see, some of the test is difficult to see in the bar, but this should be fixed once I've get a decent glass like effect on the bar. If you're using a dark background, this is fine, but lighter backgrounds are not so good.
Also, the text and debug mode icons are not done, and some of the battery and internet down/upload icons are also not done (100 and 80% for battery are complete, and the icons where 3g is enabled but not uploading or downloading are not done.)
Still, I think there is decent (ish) progress, and hope to get something you can use after the weekend (maybe before it's out, but I don't want to follow SE's example of giving crap release dates )
PS. Sorry for the quality of the attachment, I use screencast through my PC which doesn't scale down well but is quicker than using a screenshot app on Android

Right, almost there with the black transparent bar...
Take a look at the screenies
I'm in process of writing an installer, but its late, so I'm not finishing it now.
What I have now will be the first version, I will be changing the lock screen and other home screen bluenesses (like where I have Vodafone and ongoing, I will make them match the colour of the status bar)
I will also be adding a few more colours, preferably from the same installer, but we'll see how that goes.
Finally, I want to change the white background on the status dropdown to be the same as the status bar, eg, in this case, black and transparent.

looking good dude

Indeed, this is lookin great. I do really really like the looks of the status bar.
An idea, I know your still in very early stage atm but when you release it with your installer why not make it configurable? What I mean is so when your installing it asks you what bits you want in your choice of colours. So it would be customisable and everyone could have a version of some spec of colour that would suit any theme.
This would make a great paid app if you ask me...

Great work/concept so far!
I had thought about trying a translucent status bar background before. Can't wait to see it.
I'm trying to learn about theming a little too when I have time...

ccan u share the files... we could also work on it .. while u can compile the installer

Looks really sleek and sexy. Can't wait to see how this turns out.
BTW, very beautiful babe you have on your screen.
