Remove colour bars from homescreen

hi ppl.
i want to know how to remove a coloured bar that displays on the homescren by default. i am attaching a screenshot of my homescreen for your reference. the bar displays where 'Hutch' is written i.e. where teh operator name shows.
secondly, is there any way to make the top and bottom bars transparent so that any image covers the entire screen, but retains the icons n text (eg. edge icon, contacts field, start menu etc?)

anyone ?

You need to modify that theme. Upload it and I'll do it. It's located under ApplicationData\Home\xxx.scheme.xml

thanks pal. i am attaching the 'simple home' xml and a screenshot of same.
i would like the following things to be edited:
1. no top n bottom colour bars (should be transparent to take colour of any picture i put as wall paper)
2. no colour bar where it says 'Hutch' (operator) - same effect as point one.
3. Would it be possible to reduce the font sizes too ?
thank you for your precious time and patience.

Here you go.
Oh, it is not possible to remove the bottom.

@frauhottelmann
yeehaw !!! thanks a ton pal. the home screen looks real cool.
don't want to overstay my welcome but is there anyway to keep changing the lower bar colour ?

theres a software called base hue express. that changes the bottom bar colour. but i dont think it can make it transparent.

In home screen settings you can choose Color schemes (only basic colors) otherwise you would have to modify the theme again!

Set Text Color

Is there any cab or register setting to change the text color on Manila Title and Text. Now is White and light grey. My wallpaper is also light color so that cannot read the text. I would like to change text color darker.
thanks

Font colour for HD2 - can you change it??

Hi all,
I'm looking to change the font colour to black for my HTC HD2. I'm aware CHT 1.8.5 has a font colour editor in it and I've changed it to black but it only seems to have changed the colour of my quicklinks and other text on my home tab.
I currently have a wallpaper set that is a mix of white and blue and it makes other text areas of the phone REALLY hard to read!! (e.g. text messages and everything within the settings tab). Are there any cabs out there that changes all font colour aspects for the phone?
Ta.

+1 I'm also waiting for that solution

Look here in this thread by poyensa http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=688002.

Looking for a black font theme

Hi guys!
There are a lot of themes out there, but I haven't found one using a black font in the commandbar and the taskbar.
I'm currently working on a brushed metal theme which is a light gray color, so text needs to be black. I have been able to make the button text (Color_CommandBarText) black, but I cannot find a way to change the title text color on a messagebox. The attached screenprint shows the default white color word warning barely shows on the title bar.
Does anybody know way to change this font to black or better yet, does anybody know an existing theme which uses the black font in all objects?
Thank you very much in advance for your help!
Kind regards,
Piet

[Q] Accents and Color Customization

I have been recently messing around with the color accents on my phone. So far I have managed to make a nice Black, Red, Silver theme. However I am stuck with one key I cannot seem to find.
I have successfully managed to change almost all the text to red using these keys:
HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\1\
ProgressBarBackground
TextNeutralColor80
TextNeutralColor75
TextNeutralColor60
TextNeutralColor30
TextNeutralColor20
TextNeutralColor
ContrastColor
However I cannot seem to find the White text that displays on Tiles nor can I find the color that represents the actualy TILE in the call log or textmessaging. I know they are two separate registry settings because using an OLD advanced config I can easily change the tile color to say Dark Blue however the actual text color in the call log and text message area will still be the normal blue. Which is because the old one did not know where the other keys were. So does anyone know of the entire full list of Registry Keys for editing text colors?

Would be cool to see screen shots of your customizations

Have you looked into the XAML files in \windows. There's a thread where someone mentioned these files are related to the themes/accents. The first 2 digits refer to the theme 00 & 01. The second 2 digits refers to the accent color. They somehow work with the registry values.
For more info, see this post.

Ok excellent. I will poke around in that particular file and see what changes what.
Being on an HTC I can easily overwrite in the windows directory so this should not be a problem.
As to a screen shot I will take a look at the new build of WDM and see if I can screenshot it.

Yes, WPDM lets you take screenshots. You must have the multitasking/dehydrate hack enabled though so it'll stay connected with TouchXperience running in the background when you change screens.

Unfortunately the values for what I am looking for is not in those XAML files. Apparently editing those only changes how apps read the accent colors and does not actually change the colors I am looking for.
The only colors I have left to change is one single value somewhere but I have done searches of the registry and through those Xaml files and they seem to not be there. :-/ It looks great right now, but would blend completely if I could just fix these last few.
I attached a few screens. You can see exactly where I still have a silver/grey text even though it should be red.

If I'm not mistaken some of the fonts are semi transparent, white with the black bg showing through. The first 2 digits are the alpha transparency value. I believe FF is solid where 00 is fully transparent. Another thought, is they look to be the same color of the button icon bar. Either way, looks nice.
