Hi All,
I've been having this problem with themes on my P3400 Windows Mobile 6 device. I have been using this phone for almost a year now and have been stuck with the default HTC green theme that comes with the phone. I tried switching themes for different colors - Windows default or Windows Mobile Green for instance and when I select either of these themes under Start --> Settings --> Today (personal tab) --> Under select a theme for your device, and reboot the device, everything changes as its supposed to except the Dial Pad. It shows up in a pale black/gray color which looks really bad. Any comments or ideas on how I can get this fixed will be real helpful.
Thanks a lot.
Hi
This is default behaviour, the dialpad must be customized separately, look for dialpad skins
Moved as not theme release...
Thank you for the reply TITO. I will surely get some dialpad skins now.

HTC Homeplugin - How to edit white & grey text for: Home, Weather & Music Tabs?
Prior to posting this message, I have researched extensively on this site and Google for the answer but have not been successful. How can the white and grey text be changed to a different color in the HTC Homeplugin? For example, in the home tab, I am referring to the "carrier" name and "MM/DD/YY". In the weather tab, the white text for the current temperature vs. high= white and low= grey. The music tab initial text is white "Music Player" until you activate the media player and the text changes. I am currently using a white "tsk" and it makes it very hard to read the grey and white. I tried editing the "setup" XML file that is part of the initial HTC Homeplugin 6 tab version (I believe it's the latest one).
Any assistance on finding an answer to this inquiry will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
I have the same question about HTC Home customize (in Wizard forum): how to add more tabs, change categories as I want... but no one answer yet! Could you, the professional, please show to the newbie the way to do...
Up to now, I only can add my app from storage to 1 of 9 block in Laucher tab (by create a shortcut in Program folder) and to tray (by using PHM toy)...

As much I hate to say it, right now there is no option to change the color of the carrier and date. My only suggestion to you would be to use a darker tsk or use HHC to change the background of the home plugin to something darker like the original background. Maybe some day they will come up with a way to change those 2 features but it is not currently available.

As for the Home plugin, you can add up to 6 tabs using the home customizer or schaps advanced configuration tool. You can also pick and choose which tabs you want.
For example>> When you flash the TNT.1437 Rom, the default setup is 5 tabs(home, favorite contacts, weather, launcher, music) but if you don't want the weather, but instead you would rather have the profiles tab, you can easily change that or have all 6 tabs.
As far as the launcher goes, you can only have 9 apps there and I don't think anything is gonna change that. If you need a quick launch solution, take a look at cLaunch. It's free and lets you do the same thing as the home plugin, only not so stylishly. Or if that is not an option for you then use PHM Power Toys and use TrayLaunch and that is just as effective.
Another Option for you would be Wisbar Advance Desktop(sorry, not free). You are able to create multiple pages and flip through them as you please(if you use HTC Home Customizer to unlock the home plugin you will be able to use it with WAD), add shortcuts to the desktop, create full themes for your today screen... etc. It's a really nice app but like I mentioned above, It isn't freeware.
OK! That means there's no way to add more tabs (just home, favorite contacts, weather, launcher, music) and add more block to Launcher either!
In fact I dont need new theme or skin but I'll try Wisbar Advance Desktop 1.3.0.7.

As a long time member of this forum, I must ask you to remove this post. Whether or not you got it for free or not is entire on you but please do not offer warez here. Offering someone Wisbar Advance Desktop for free is still stealing from the author even if you received it for free.
OK, done, man!
I love the default black HTC theme but it gives me one big problem. The toolbars for some applications display very badly in this theme. If the application uses dark icons on its toolbar then you almost get a black-on-black toolbar (the www.memory-map.co.uk mapping software is an example as is the Pocket A-Z (http://www.a-zmaps.co.uk/?nid=95) that can be downloaded from handango). Some applications however (like the Mobile Microsoft Office apps) seem to override the theme and use a grey background for their toolbars so they are readable.
I have confirmed that this is a problem with the theme because I tried switching to the default WM theme (the one below the HTC theme in the list) and then the mapping software shows a perfectly readable toolbar with dark icons against grey background.
Are there any tweaks or third party applications that can make an application pick up a different background for it's toolbars? Is there some toolbar-background property in a theme that can be individually treaked to be grey while still leaving the taskkar and soft key bar unchanged (i.e. black-ish)? Failing this, does anyone have any other ideas (apart from the obvious one of forsaking my preferred theme and switching permanently to the blue one)?

hi i am newbie to the forum and i need help
i own a htc touch cruise with wm6
i have vision problems (low vision)
so i am looling for a theme that turns all backround to black color and any text in white
also in large text to fit my problem
if somebody knows everyting plz answer me
i d been search the web but nothing found
thanks
For themes u can download any themes online, and use them. test em and see which gives u the best background - font colour combination
for font size go to
Start > settings > system > Screen > Text Size tab
thx for your answer but i am looking for a theme
with larger text than the largerst supports my
device because i have vision problems as i said
and i couldnt find any theme looks like win xp
theme black on white [large]
Today themes usually only set the colour/picture of the background and the colour of the font.
So, you need to search for a windows mobile 6 all black theme. These usually have the font in white.
The size of the font used is usually set differently. In S-K Tools there is a section called Tune Up, where there is a sub section called font, and it seems that you can adjust the size of your font for various things like menu etc. I haven't tried this myself, but if I were you I would do a full backup first, using spb or sprite backup, just in case!
Good luck.
Since my update to WM 6.5 offical ROM my lockscreen background also displayed in other menu's (settings and my start menu). How can I change it that the background only is displayed at my lockscreen?

You should be able to set all of them through the settings tab, personalizations.
If not the start menu picture is found in windows folder stwater.jpg and the today screen is tdwater.jpg.

I don't know what you mean, maybe my English is to crap
So in my settings menu personlizations I can change my background, I've did that before and it just works fine. I can't remember that there was an option to get them all at my backgrounds.
How can I manage it that I can have my background only at my screen lock. If the rest is black I'm fine by that At the moment I'm using LockDevice, and I don't want to go back to S2U2 where I can manage it how I like it.

LockDevice is a simple utility and only used the default today background, unlike S2U2 that can be customized.
I suggest a program called AutoWallpaper Changer. You can set it to change Today, TF3D and S2U2 at various intervals. If you use TF3D, you can uncheck it to be changed and change the today screen which would then be picked up by LockDevice.
Sorry I do not have a better solution.
No problem, thnx anyway

Look at post #38 on page 4 in this thread.
You have to edit the "LS_Global_480x800.cpr" file to be able to have
diffenrent backrounds in Lockscreen and WM 6.5 StartMenu.
It works on Topaz, I tried it myself.
Is there anyway to change the default htc green highlights in the htc sense interface?
i was able to do so under the old tf3d 2.0, but none of those tweaks work on the new sense interface.
if at all possible, i would like to know if anyone has figured out how to change the dialer color (talk button and highlights), the default htc keyboard, the notification bubbles, and the various check boxes throughout the os.
i would love to have a red color or at least an idea of where to start looking.
i have searched all over XDA and pccgeeks and nothing has worked without messing up the phone and requiring a hard reset.
ok thanks!
You could check out tecchan23 work over here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624874&highlight=taskbar I have used his work to make mine completely green, but he also produces a red version.
well i appreciate that but those seem to be for titanium not htc sense
there used to be a cab for tf3d...but i've not seen one for sense either...would also like this
Interested in this
for keyboard, look through this thread, there are various cabs for different colours dotted along.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=626688
for red notification bubbles, there is a standalone cab somewhere in there:

various htc calendar highlight colours in here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=636062
thanks for the reply, the calendar one worked great!
but the bubbles one only changed the email notifications, not the text ones.
also, the keyboard cabs only change the color when you press a key, not the abc or t9 mode or the enter key
guess skinning these files are alot harder on sense ui then on old tf3d...
