[REQ} Text colour change? - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

Hello...
I've been following a lot of these threads for a while and having decided on my ROM of choice (toms) and doing as much as i understand i've hit my wall when it comes to knowledge of the system! The background i use is quite light and makes it difficult to read the text under certain tabs like the Text tab and the twitter tab. Is there a way i can simply change the colour of the text?
Is there a way i can do it? i'm a quick learner
Thank you.

Here's my background... it's a picture from a walk i did a few months back and it looks great as a background with a few transparencies added withing the tabs.

I sort of found something here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2749452
seemed a little complex, but i'll give it a go over my lunchtime..
Love having conversations with myself

I can't actually find the files on my HD2... can anyone help?
Looking through lots of threads it seems quite a difficult task!! is that why there are no other replies to this thread?

How to make "All Messages" Touchflo3d Style?

I'm using my all messages folder a lot, so I want it to look like the rest of TF3D, instead of the windows mobile interface. The thing is, I don't know anything about making themes/styles on my D2. I can use the registry but I'm not really good at this stuff so, here is what I would like to have:
{
"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"
}
(no I'm not being spammed, I duplicated these in photoshop )
and I forgot a scroll bar =)
It doesn't have to look like this in the messages tab in TF3D, but I would like to have the list of all messages to look like this.
If anybody knows how to make the All Messages screen like this, help me out
I'm interested in this, too.
Good work on this mockup, it'd be cool to see it in action... if only I could program.
I wonder what changing the default background colour of Windows to black would do to making it look a little more like it belonged.. (of course I have no idea if that can even be done).. Nice mock up, though.

Would anyone be able to tell me how to get the TouchFLO full screen program that this guy has running?
If you're confused, I'm talking about the icon positioned at bottom centre, just above the two menu keys. From my understanding, it hides the top and bottom bars, basically giving TouchFLO much more space to work with.
You'll have to excuse me. I've used every possible keyword imaginable to find any relevance to the program/cab on here, and after hours of searching I give up! I remember Pocketnow.com had a news article on it, but their search engine for news seems rather limited.
If someone could help me out, that'd be greatly appreciated!
Hi there,

Battery and clock example

Ive come across how to activate the clock in the taskbar, but as you all know that hides/covers the battery icon. This is a major flaw in design.
Ive seen many screenshots with where people have the time then custom icons including the battery, however this seems like it would cover up the X on some applications.
Examples here.

This is how i want my taskbar to look [photoshopped]. With the original icons, with the battery and clock and room to close programmes

}
Im sure this tweak must be achievable.
Thanks in advance
You just need to install BattClock then configure away
Pretty sure ive tried that, and batti. Never managed to get it like i want
if i'm not wrong the so called task manager has been done away with in the new version..
i couldn't get it up too. the blank space on top left is now new taskbar or wadeva that is...?

Skinning ChompSMS Widget

So I use chompSMS all the time, tried everything else around and it allows me to reply quickly to txt when i need to. Recently I been working on creating some themes but haven't got things to where I want to release them. I Bought the extended controls on market and really loved the customization. More colors would be nice but I thought using the same idea or other apps such as chomp would be great. As of right now I skinned my widget and things are not perfect but, I will get it there soon enough. Maybe at some point I could build an app that would allow you to customize these widgets and apps.
Here is a screen shot of what I did to mine. If you understand how to edit png files and install apps then the process isnt too hard. PM me if you want the instructions other wise i found the widget backgroun in /res/drawable-port-hdpi. From what I can see most things in it could be customized.

[APP] [Question] Browser

Here is what happens when long pressing on a link in the browser in order to see the URL:
{
"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"
}
The text is so ridiculously huge that it cuts off 90% of the useful part, even when viewed in landscape.
Is there any way to hack/modify the browser so that more of the URL is visible when long-pressing on a link? (Smaller font, and/or additional rows)
I was thinking of tweeting wysie but doubt he'd respond.
Try sending him a pm on xda, he will more than likely respond he's a cool guy
Alright, took your suggestion and PM'd Wysie. Here's what he said:
Hi Paul,
Actually I only made the full-screen and the hiding of zoom controls. The rest of the mods were probably done by @optedoblivion, you might want to check with him as well?
I'll look at your suggestion and see what I can do, no guarantees tho, been quite busy .
Thanks!
