Changing ui element color - Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps

Hi all, could someone tell me how to change the color identified in the following screen capture (don't know the name of this UI element) ??
{
"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_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I search the forum but didn't find anything. It seems that this is tsk theme dependant but I'm unable to find more about it.
Thanks for your help.

Hi, thanks for your reply. Indeed, images are not showing. I will repost this evening.
In fact, I'm looking for a way to change the back color of the top bar that appear for example in the file explorer or in the mail application just below the top menu bar where the start menu lays.
anyway,I will re post the images this evening.
thanks for your help.

There are two sections in the Registry that are responsible for the Theme elements that you are talking about. (See the link i posted before). Unfortunately trying to change them via a direct reg edit doesn't seem to work. You would have to change the Registry values in the .cab as they are set in the .tsk for that Theme.
For that you would need a .cab editor and a rudimentary knowledge of RGB and Hex values.
Once you have the tools and a basic understanding of Theme development it's actually not that difficult but will need a bit of research. I make my own Themes so if i can help you in any way feel free to PM me, i'll be glad to help.
Good luck.

Where to find simple themes?

I have searched for themes (although admittedly not all that hard as I am searching on my Vox on EDGE) and all of the custom ones I can find are very visually busy and/or hard to read.
I just want onto that is nice and simple with no unnecessary words, logos, or anything else.
But I want it to display:
MRU
profile
next 2 appts (I'll settle for one)
SMS/MMS/email
time, date
Anyone know where to find some?
Well since I couldn't find any I just made* my own. (*made meaning compiled and tweaked, not created)
Here it it: (for a first try, I think it is not too bad)

SUper!
Hi CHillin,
I am also on ROgers. Can you tell me what is your "receipe" for getting your home screen installed with wich plugin etc.
Regards,
JL
I think this is all you need.... I think.
I used Facade, Endless (attached), HTC Home (attached), and a pic I took using with the Vox's cam (attached)
Colour Scheme: Endless: Blue
Wallpaper: IMAGE_004
I have attached the xml file, that I Think will give you the layout. Since I can't attach xml files I added .txt to the end of the file name. So simply delete ".txt" from the file name after you download it and it should work.
Actually I think you will need this one too.

XML Edits in HTC_IME.apk

Hello everyone,
I'm skinning my keyboard and so for it looks good IMO, but I want to change the fonts.
Here is the photoshop PSD I made:
{
"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_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is what is how it looks on the phone:
I want the upper light grey row(with 1, 2, 3 @, etc) to be entirely removed or invisible and the black text should move up some pixels and preferrably be in bold instead of regular.
The thing I want most is the upper grey row with alternative symbols removed, then I can edit my images to place them under the black qwerty.
I know how to edit the XML's but I have no idea where the data is stored and after which byte sequence.
I hope someone can enlighten me on this (ohsaka?).

There threads in the themes and wallpapers section of the forum about editing the keyboard.
I wonder where, beause search only showed up this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=512285&highlight=keyboard
which isn't what I'm looking for.
This thread should be moved to themes section..
However I appreciate the work you're doing
Hope you'll find the solution
Actually this is development because we're changing sources, not images...
I suggest modifying the google keyboard since sources are available. Look in resources/inputmethods/LatinIME

I think that the two keyboards are not comparable
Moreover Google one only supports English
damn can't wait for someone to help him on this!!
Been trying to figure this myself a while now. Wanting white text.
I know there is an older version of HTC_IME without the long presses, not sure if you can still find one somewhere, maybe off an early H build?
are you still workin on this project too
how do you get to edit the xml?

Change htc messaging from manila to resco contact manager-sms

Hi,
First sorry for my bad english ,i don't speak and write english perfectly
I would like to change some things on my mobile.
Let me show my problem with pictures ,that will be clearer.
1*
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When I click into the green square , manila open htc messaging , its a default option.
2* If it is possible , i would like that manila open an other program.
And this program is ''Resco Contact Manager''
How can I do that please?
I think this option must be in the registry but i'm not sure :s
I hope you understood me Thanks for the reading
PS: I post here because nobody answer me in my first post in another section
Bump - I would like to know too.
someone knows? :s
if u install cookie home tab 1.7.1 u will have inside the menu applications
goin side and push the messaging - u will need to assain the program u want to work with
but install first the sms chat
good lack
Moved to QnA, not dev related.
Use CHT, you dont have to change your home tab though
This should help you. I tried and it worked.
Registry Code as follows
HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila
HomeLSKPath = [Your new contact program location]"
HomeLSKText = Contacts
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Great, glad it worked out

Slider Skinning Help (big big please)

I had been trying to get the GTX Slider (only the slider). I've done research and I had also tried doing it myself for the past 3 days but I'm still progress-less. However, on the bright side, I've been learning how to work around manila files (although with a very noobish skill).
Please help me! For I've been desperate. I think I've done my share on XDA's rule of learning how to search first and trying to work it out.
As mentioned, I've been trying to get the whole look of the GTX Slider, while keeping other Manila themes stocked/customized such as the clock etc.
I've also found this thread called GTX Perfection Slider. It's a GREAT help toward my goal. The only thing missing is that white background on the slider And that's the only part that I had been trying to work around with.
Here's a screen shot that I took a few days ago with GTX Perfection Slider:
{
"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_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It's just too dark and it doesn't look all that good.
Using Manila Editor, I tried to locate the name of the file from GTX 1.7.1. I thought I succeeded, copied it (because it looked similar) and pasted it on /Windows on my mobile and I'm still getting nowhere.
The file name I thought it would be was "014758a9_manila".
Can anyone of you help me put a period on my problem? I'm desperately trying I'm pretty sure many people would like this slider though. It's simple, elegant and very easy to the eye.
Thanks in advance.
The cab to make that transparent is already available. Check out Smaberg's stickied post and look for TouchX Transparent Bottom Curtain. If you want to make it a different color (and not transparent) then simply edit the manila file to your liking.
