background image - when making a call

Hi,
I am quite happy with s710, but a small thing annoys me a little.
When you change the Main Screen theme and a colors scheme - one thing stays unchanged - the background picture during making a call. It stays green (in my case) with HTC logo. When havin, say, red colors scheme the green background with two red stripes at the top and at the bottom looks ugly.
How this can be changed ?
thanks

Search the registry for RAI:

RAI: is it a file ? or a folder ? In Windows I cannot find it...

The logo/image displayed during a call in progress, Call History, etc... can be changed in your phone's registry. You need a registry editor to access the phone's registry. Just do a search on the internet for "Mobile Registry Editors". Most of them are free-ware.
If you want that logo to be the same for all screens, you can change the image itself instead of making the registry changes. Your phone needs to be application unlocked. In the Windows directory on your phone you'll find a file called: ms_mobile.gif
By replacing this image, and soft resetting your phone, you've changed most of the screen's logos/display images.
If you want a different logo for different screens, you can use the registry editor to manually set them. Go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Shell/Rai
under the sub-tree you'll find all the screens (MSCdial, MSBranding, ...)
Almost every image can be changed here.
Good luck.

Background
Hi, I also am trying to change the background image when dialing, its the blue/green full screen background which does not really look good with my homescreen.
I have looked through windows directory, but cant find that image? any ideas. I see the smartphone gif, but that dose not bother me to much.
Thanks for any help!

This is the case on the e650
Most likely:
DialScreen_240x320.bmp
DialScreen_320x240.bmp
Incoming_bg.png
And yep, ms_mobile.gif is the banner image.

Better yet...

Hi and thanks for all you help, I have done the above, my phone was an unbranded s710, so did not need to do a lot, but its that fullscreen dialing background that I cant find?
DialScreen_240x320.bmp
DialScreen_320x240.bmp
They were not in the windows folder, I did put my own in there, but after a soft reset, still that image? (see below)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

Any more ideas?

Oh THAT one!!!
Looks like the standard WindowsMobile.jpg. That one can be found in the Windows folder. WindowsMobileLS.jpg for landscape.
Would be wiser to change it in the registry. Make your own screen, copy it to the windows folder and change these registry entries:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin\Progress\Portrait\Other\bmpNormal
change the value from \Windows\WindowsMobile.jpg to \Windows\SomeNameForYourCallInProgressScreen.jpg
And for the landscape version:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin\Progress\Landscape\Other\bmpNormal
Just checked this on my phone and it works. Let me know if it works for you.

FANTASTIC
Thank you very much for you help, worked with no problems! much better now!!

You're welcome
Glad to hear it worked.

wallpaper problems

my goal is following:
have one background in all tabs while softkey-bar stays black (if possible just taskbar should be transparent)
i have tried different things:
1. installed hdwall patch and installed a cab from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=629125&highlight=hdwall
the problem is, that just the taskbar and the softkey bar has been changed to the installed wallpaper. the main area at the middle is still the standard background shown on all tabs (grey & black). what am i doing wrong?
i also tried b4all, but there i also have some issues: the wallpaper has a black bar just above the slider. it seems like the wallpaper will not fit correctly!
has anyone a guide how to install a wallpaper on all tabs? clock should stay with solid color (not transparent).
my manilla version is: 2.5.19211 and i have installed the cookie 75 shortcut mod.

today i was able to make a screenshot:
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
here you can see the mentioned black bar at bottom after installing b4all!
any idea how to fix it?

u can choose:
so first, install HDwall patch and create a wallpaper with the correct profile selected in HDWall. Before u install the wallpaper set the default wallpaper in manila or delete the reg content HKCU/Software/HTC/Manila/AnimatedBackgroundPath
!! Delete only the Content, not the whole String !!
or second, install the right BG4all. Cookie posted the correct version for the different manila versions in the 75quicklinks thread.
PS.: the reg key was the problem in ur first try with HDwall too where the middle part of the wallpaper stayed default black

i just tried what you said, but there is no string value in "AnimatedBackgroundPath". it's empty! I'm using a german rom, but this will not be the problem, isn't it?
i found this at cookies 75 quicklinks thread:
If you have any version of manila except 2.5.19222911, this cab will work for you: BG4all

i installed this but still the same issue.

sorry for pushing my thread, but i'm going nuts with this! if just hdwall OR b4all would make me happy

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.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",

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

You need to take the jpg in the file and set that as the lock screen wallpaper then it will look same all over
Obalia73

The jpg's resolution is too low, so the picture doesn't fill the screen ...?

awesome work, much appreciated

Thank you so much for this

Am I the only one with that problem?

wm 6.5.5
Hallo evberybody...
can I use theese cab with Sense 2.5.2012 and wm 6.5.5?
Thank you!

Amazing!! great work!
Without wishing to go off topic, since using HDWalls I've often wished for an app which will auto install one of these Cabs e.g. a random Cab once a day, just so I can change at will. I know there''s auto-wallpaper changers but not an auto-HD-Walls changer that I know of. Just if someone's after a project!
Nice work again

same here

Me to im getting blocks of the wallpaper as if it isnt the correct resolution. Other than that great work on the wallpapers

Maxistar I make 2 HDwall + added full resolution images to set as lock screen wallpaper. Can you try it?
btw. works for me

Thanks for all your effort. Just what to clarify one thing before trying Do these cabs only change the wallpaper on the home screen or also add like transparency to the background of the stock clock, calendar, taskbar and etc. I wouldn't want any of them, just to have a hq wallpaper on the home screen. And is it easy to uninstall them?
cheers

Excellent wallpaper collection my friend...

great stuff here!

Default TouchFLO 2D settings for Touch2?

Hello everyone!
Okay, I'm sure someone of you was using M2DC to change themes or TouchFLO 2D settings.
I downloaded it yesterday, installed, and only thing I wanted to do is to change wallpaper...
Guess what, I didn't make backup before, idiot, I know..
Of course it was okay, but there is another problem. In 'Launcher' tab, there is setting to change number of rows of programs in last tab (Programs).
I wanted to increase that number long time ago but I didn't kno whow so I tried with this now, changed to nine rows, and when I went to last tab there almost wasn't space between icons, icon labels were hidden below icon under it... Changed back to six rows, but no change.. On this screenshot you can see how does it looks now.
Does anyone of you have default settings for TF 2D, or maybe know how to increase this space between icons? Please, this is really annoying

Here am I again, fixed my problem, there is probably bug in M2DC so it set wrong value in 'IDLAUNCHERWG_Y_INTERVAL' parameter inside of HTCHomeSettings.xml file.
Instead of
Code:
<Property name="IDLAUNCHERWG_Y_INTERVAL" id="1" value="26" />
it changed it to the
Code:
<Property name="IDLAUNCHERWG_Y_INTERVAL" id="1" value="2" />
so space between icons wasn't 26 pixels, it was just 2.
If someone have this problem in the future, here is the solution
