Making bottom & top bar different colors? - General Questions and Answers

For some reason I like the default wm6.1 color scheme with the flat green bar at the top but I think it would be really cool if there was a way to have the bottom bar flat black while retaining the green at the top!
Is it possible to have a green bar at the top and a black (non-glossy) at the bottom?

You will need to edit the tsk file for your today skin...
it's most probably a *.tsk file sitting in your windows dir.
you can edit it or create a new one using ThemeGenCE

Download this and install it on your ppc...its the black htc theme which i used to use on my Mogul...

he wants a green upper bar.

lol yeah well he has to start somewhere right? I figured it would be easier to find the flat black and try to get the top bar green from there

hehe.
why not.
just find the ClassicBlack tsk file (running around the forum) and edit it

Yeah much easier then my solution. Go with that.

lol guys, would be better with UI Tweeker, takes bloody ages to understand which bit your altering, but it works. Cab below (greets to its creator!)
You can alter wot eva wot want to with this, but only make one change at a time, i got carried away turning erverything black once, soft reset and couldnt see a thing haha, had to hard-reset

Upper bar flat solid green, lower bar glossy green - WM 6.1 Green default
I run Windows Mobile 6 on my Kaiser but am totally crazy about the classic WM 6.1 green theme I saw in the first post! How can I get it for WM 6? The only difference between my classic green and this one is the upper bar that's flat green, no glossy effect... I've tried downloading it from a few websites, but on device the upper bar is not solid green, it still has this glossy effect regardless of what it looks like on the website. Please help me, I'm dying to get this on my phone!

[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.

big up yourself dragon_soft and keep them coming!!!

Btw, have you mastered non-flipping clocks? since well, alarm clocks with led numbers dont flip im still loving it alot though, but ye, where possible id love a non flipping one even more
Hi,
I would like to have a thin clock in black.
I have the one in White, but I'm not able to find the one in black.
for example of a "thin" clock, see attachment :

transparent taskbar

is it possible to make the taskbar transparent like in win mobile 6.5? I have tried but to no avail
You wanna see the insides of your phone?

i would also love this option...if for no other reason than to match the rest of the clear themed stuff.
please does anyone know if this is possible
Well i was capable of making it transparent but only when the screen transitions and you can see it is transparent when I pull the taskbar down. I dont know how to get it transparent on the home screen.
Probably could be done the same way you recolor it. Just use a transparent .png file instead of a colored one. Its a good idea, I'd use it.
do you know which file has to be changed i looked but could not find it

I actually tried this and it did not work, just made the task bar black. My theory is that the wallpaper ends at the task bar rather than covering it . If that is true I think you would have to "fake" a clear task bar by making it match your wallpaper. I have done this successfully with solid colors, but it would be harder with a more complicated wallpaper.
Example:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

you're 100% correct. my bad. guess i wanted it too much lol.
yep i just tried to and it was black as well it was cool to see threw the bar when you pull down notifications though
i wonder if it would be possible to edit a xml file somewhere to get the wallpaper to take up the full screen. i just think this would be so cool if i could figure it out

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.

[Q] Help with The Changing of Theme Colors. REG HACK

^ the explorer bar color is painful to the sight. Doesnt match with the white background. I cant find the correct option to change this color no matter how hard i try to find them. Does anyone know?
^ In the app list, Long hold an item. The Text that says "Pin to start" etc. doesnt match AT ALL! I think its related to the Status Bar below if im not mistaken as they are the same color. The image shows a different color but it is actually almost the same as the status bar's. Anyone knows how to change this? THANKS
LASTLY...
^ "Ratings" color in the Marketplace is the same as background, No idea how to change this. I MIGHT GET CONNED INTO BUYING A LOUSY APP! :O Anyone knows how to change this?
also, The top bar isnt that great. Anyone knows how to change this too? THANKS AGAIN.
By the way, I've noticed that some of the regidtry entrys for colors, Like colors in the email application links to the ones i changed for the Light Theme. Changing for one type of Theme might cause both to be Changed. So, any ideas anyone? THanks ALL
Does anyone know off hand what controls the color of the star ratings in marketplace and when placing a review? Mine seems to be completely black, which means that
I cannot see the stars without changing my background colour.
Also, I noticed a few minor observerations:
- If you change the Theme color to anything other than FF00000000 your dialer becomes white.
- If you don't have 8 digits in a color bad things can happen (in one case I had 9 digits in one colour and all apps crashed on start until I changed the theme to light and fixed the dark version of the value)
