[WM6.1 themes consideration] What's with those bars? - General Topics

We started with this (kind of)

Then we moved to this style, a little nicer.
Then WM5 happened, with a very nice interface.
Wow, Windows Mobile 6 looked great.
Wait, wasn't this CE 2000?
Someone must be wrong. I am, unfortunately, this is WM6.1
Can anyone tell me why this choice?

What forum are you in ?
These are my bars

I don't mean the icons (which I prefer flat white), I'm talking about the background color of the bars. With WM6.1 they went back to a solid color...
In 6.5 it'll be translucent, which is a good thing, it'll let us put the background we want behind them, but with 6.1 they're just flat

My theme in 6.1 has the same gradient that is shown in your 6.0 example. I would say it's probably the theme you have that's taken off the gradient.

Oh I thought you were talking about being stuck with they factory icons. Doesn't RC Mod allow you to mix colors ?

It's weird, I use Mobile Shell to set colors, and on my old X500+ (cooked 6.1) mobile shell 2 uses the WM6-style gradients for themes, on my diamond Mobile shell 3 uses all flat colors.

I just tried it, and while searching I also found (again, after years) BaseHueExpress, which I prefer. I'm going to stick with it

It looks tempting, but I don't really want to waste more time in customizing the appareance of my phone. Color and wallpaper are enough =P

try other tsk theme, on WM6.1 looks same as WM6...

How can I make my own WM6 theme?
You can get some from MoDaCo in the downloads section.

That's not true, I think... I have the crossbow theme por WM5 and yes, it works in WM6, but the top and bottom bars don't have the effect of other WM6 themes
odd i used alot of wm2003 themes and they get the wm5 top and buttom bars without any probs
yes, but wm2003 and wm5 don't have that sort of 3D top and bottom bars like wm6...
Can some upload this theme please?

Its probably white because you haven't fixed the transparency level. After you chose the picture and set it as your today background, make sure you change the transparency level and set it to zero.

open the picture that you would want as a background .
click on menu > Set as Today Background
it will give you the option to change the transparency level.

ok when i put a tsk file on my phone where do i put it? can i leeave it on my storage card? if noty can someone send tell me where i have to place it thanx
You should be able to put them on the root of your sd card, but that seems to be dependent on what phone you have. Try it and see if it shows up in your themes, if not then you might have to put them in your windows folder.

Flat Black Bars In WinMo6.1

I really like the way flat black bars look for the start menu and and soft button bar. Every theme i install reguardless of what it looks like on the site i download it from has like a graduaient 3d thing going on. Im assuming thats windows mobile 6 over riding the temes settings. Anyways i got a theme called ALL Black out of death rom and it has flat black bars in it.
So i opend up a theme i liked with winCE cab manager and the allblack theme i copied all of the registry settings from ALLBlack to the new theme. I then save it as a .tsk and put the new theme on my kaiser. When i switched to the new theme it had gray glossy gradient bars!!!?? How do you get rid of the gradient glossy effect??!! I really perfer the old flat color scheme most of the time.
the registry swap doesnt necessarily work. i know you can set bars to flat with one of the theme generating programs. and probably a reg key
Ya I was looking into theme maker x, i would just be really annoyed if i didnt allow you to change to flat bars. I was also using wisbar to do this before but it just seems to slow the ppc down.
If anyone knows the reg setting to get flat bars i would love to know what it is.
oh this is really annoying i downloaded theme make x trial and set to a win standard theme then set the bars to black and flat windows mobile kept the same glossy bars. Im using dutty diamond rom maybe this is the issue?

Make a theme in some theam generator and there should be a option to save it as wm5,wm6, and u need to save it as wm2003(at least I think).
Or I think UITweaker.cab has an option to make the bars not glossy, but I am not sure. Give it a try.
solution, maybe
i had that problem too. try this theme, maybe it'll work. it worked for me.
Helo there, I saw this post and made a solution for it, the cab you can find in my cab corner here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2436400&postcount=124

Awesome, just installed this and looks great! Nice work.
Great cab
The cab made both my bars 3d (originally the top is flat and the bottom is 3d). Does anyone have a theme that just has flat bars?

well, if your phone has wm2002 or 2003/se smartphone on it. Yes. All you need is the program 1-HomeEdit. (http://www.omegaone.com/homeedit/default.htm) Just saw, this also works with newer phones.
It's possible. I have white bars on my Samsung i640 and Treo 500v (both WM6)
I can later upload vodafone theme xml. I can't manage how to make colorscheme from this xml. I'm sure someone will work it out. It shouldn't be hard.
White scheme should look awesome whith Samsung Tab homescreen.
sound interesting
if you could post the home.xml i try to get the color scheme...
tyia
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3360432&postcount=86
you need to edit registry.
As I said, here's the xml Strik3r, could you say something more?
ty arrravel, i get the scheme from your xml, but it doesn't work without several reg hackings: i get the selection red and other stuff is right but the bars are still black.
ty striker, i tried your white cab, but it changed only the bronzeres.dlll and some calling pictures, the bars are still black, but the panel now are really cool ty!
striker, could you (please) list the reg edits to get your white skin working on all devices? (actually i am running a both qvga display with custom 6.1 and not a qqvga, but it is not a problem i suppose)
It doesn't work for me either. I get grey bars with white font on the bottom bar, and grey font on upper. Maybe they should be black, but i640 and Treo 500 have something I call "Asus skin". Look at the pictures of Asus PDAs with WM6 and you'll see the bars are somehow skinned. They are brighter and have sharp line in the middle. I don't know how to describe it. My english is not that good. I whish i could get rid of this.
I thought the scheme would work. It works as a part of homescreen, so why not separetely? Can't get it :/
i think that the scheme works throught registryeditings (the ones mentioned by stiker)
the effect that you call asus effect is the normal wm6 glossy bars?
I don't know what registry hacks he mentioned. I see only screenshots.
Back to the Asus effect, yeah, they are glossy, but look different. For example look at this:
http://www.palmtops.com.pl/images/palmtops/Asus%20PDA%20Phone%20P320_LRG.jpg
and this:
http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/2601/02hz9.bmp
See the difference? This is the same color scheme.
arravel, the sample of white theme:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Home\SlidingPanel white.home.xml]
"COLOR_TITLEFLATDONEBTN"=dword:ffffffff
"COLOR_TITLEFLATCENTER"=dword:ffffffff
"COLOR_TRAYGRADLEFT"=dword:ffffffff
"COLOR_TRAYGRADRIGHT"=dword:00000000
"COLOR_TRAYTEXT"=dword:00000000
"COLOR_SCROLLBAR"=dword:fffbe14f
"COLOR_SOFTKEYBTNTEXT_HIGHLIGHT"=dword:00000000
"COLOR_SOFTKEYBTNTEXT"=dword:00000000
"COLOR_TITLEFLATCENTERBTNTEXT"=dword:00000000
"COLOR_SOFTKEYFLATCENTER"=dword:ffffffff
"COLOR_SOFTKEYFLATBORDER"=dword:00000000
"COLOR_HOMEHIGHLIGHTTEXT"=dword:00ffffff
"COLOR_HIGHLIGHTTEXT"=dword:00ffffff
"COLOR_SOFTKEYBTNFACE"=dword:00000000
"COLOR_ALERTRULE"=dword:00000000
"COLOR_HIGHLIGHT"=dword:00000000
"COLOR_HOMEHIGHLIGHT"=dword:00000000
"COLOR_HOMERULE"=dword:00000000
there white.home.xml - name of your theme
I've tried to use this settings, but my xml is not visible on the list. I'm not familiar with xml files. And this reg entry won't work. I have WM 6.0. There is no upgrade to 6.1 for my device. I want to make a color scheme I can use with every homescreen layout, especialy with Samsung Tab. Would you make it? I'm sure many users will be greatful.
arravel, there did you put theese values?? In xml???? You need to put it to registry!!!

So, I thought why not making one for our Raphael!
I've disabled TouchFlo3D from day one. I just don't like it so much.

Actually, the icon package is black and white for all inactive tabs, and goes color once you select the tab. The only exception is the one I have for the calendar tab, simply because I have an active tab icon that holds the day number within the icon. Therefore, someone with your setup would have all black and white inactive icons, and color on the tab selected.
Here's what it looks like when I go to the contact tab.
Awww yeahhhh, that's sick.

Color of Task Bar

I would like to change the color of top/bottom bar for matching my wallpaper. I used a software "theme maker" to make it. However, when I applied it on my D2, the color was different from that I created in theme maker. I wanted to make a bright orange color, but it comes out with a dark light brown......
Any bros. here can tell me what happen and how to make it correctly? Thanks

Those bars are part of classical windows theme. You can change it in All settings/Personal/Today. There are three or four options but web is full of winmo themes.

Sorry but they can be changed, I've tried it with soft above. Topaz WWE stock ROM.
I sucessfully changed the color that I wanted! But the dark line still exist. May be the resolution of HD and D2 is different, I have tried to use the default wallpaper, that makes the line thinner but cannot be eliminated.
I actually want to update to WM6.5 for a transparent task/command bar, but I dont know much about the software things and afraid that the warranty would be voided....
Default Wallpaper----->
I used Theme Maker to change the color of task bar, but the lighting/3D effect disppear that makes the bar so FLAT.....
its possible to change with personalize software..
