I've seen a few ROMs that have this feature on the HTC Calendar, and I think it looks nice, but I like the simple stock look of Sense. Can I do it myself in a simple way, without having to flash another ROM?
Is there a cab or reg edit that I can make to add Blue to Saturday, for example and Red to sunday?
Thanks.

hello all, first new topic so go easy on me. anyway, i read through a lot of ppl not being able to figure out the transparency slider, but that is not my issue. my issue is i cannot change the today background image period. i can select it, but the today screen never changes. i know it worked the day i bought it, but it does not work now. the only things i have done to it so far was to unlock it and change from the sprint clock to the flip clock. would either of those mess up my ability to change the background image?
It depends if you're doing the today background or the touch flow 3D background. If you have TF3D running it covers the traditional background that is changed in Start->Settings->Today. Instead scroll to the settings tab in TF3D and look for the wallpaper setting there.
I think there is a CAB floating around here that will push the TF3D wallpaper to all tabs.
wow, thank you. i feel like an idiot now that i could not figure that out. i will have to find that cab you speak of b/c this pic looks amazing when used with the sprint theme.
Oh sweet theres a cab that changes all the background? Where can I find that? PS my device is stock non flashed ROM since its corporate.
i am still looking. i found one for the diamond that ppl are trying but it seems to only work on certain roms. i will keep searching as i only like to apply mods that are proven to work.
Go to this thread - there is a link to the CAB file on it:

The link is in post #3 if I'm not mistaken.
slyng1 found the cab that I used. I have NATF's 1.1 ROM (basically the ATT ROM minus the bloatware) and the Black Touch Pro theme installed through Diamond TF3D Config and the cab works great.
i really like atts default here. i just dont want that background and can only change it on the home tab. i figure i will just take the default theme, modify the background image and upload it with diamond tf3d config that i have installed to get rid of the att tab and other stuff. thanks!
i installed the cab for manila customizer. did a backup but that didnt help. is there anyway i can rip the theme so i can customize it? no one seems to have it for download. come on! this is the only thing i have left to get my fuze exactly how i want it. (yes i friggin love it and everyone who doesnt thing it isnt the most brilliant phone in the world must have holes drilled in their heads, the damn iphone freaks!)

Restore the default AT&T theme.
Use mUn Background4AllPages, which will replace the default grey background with a transparent image, allowing the custom background on the Home tab to show through.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432951
mUn Background4AllPages was originally done for the OEM HTC TF3D theme, so there may be side effects since the AT&T theme uses a custom clock. Be sure to read the thread for any extra info.
yeah i tried that. it doesnt work. the background is solid black instead, the clock doesnt work and everything is moved a bit out of place. thanks for trying though.
i found out more how to do it. these files are under weird things named 4a087e41_manila and 5c9aa261_manila and i tried using manilla editor but its just freaking out with errors because the program isnt well written. it would be alot easier if that background4allpages worked. oh well ill just wait for something better. thanks anyways.
i use the appointment option on the calendar all the time for shift swaps at work etc, i dont like the tiny grey triangle , is there any way to make the full block go a colour? or even the triangle a dif colour, it be great to be able to set different colours but even one colour be better than the grey triangle.
thanx for reading
Look at the posts of degake here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=636062&page=2
When seeing the heading for this thread i must admit a spark of hope was lighted in me. My hope was to find a way to make color coding from using categories on appointments on desktop outlook 2007 show in preferably the sense calendar or even in the default windows mobile calendar. My assumption is that this is not an easy thing to accomplish. Or even possible? Anyone?
If colour coding according to categories is essential to you, then I'd suggest you look at alternative calendars, a number of them do that (I use Thumbcal, can't remember the names of the others though) - they all do a free trial so you can see which one would work best for you.
Thanks. I'll check out Thumbcal and maybe some alternatives. I wouldn't really say it's essential so I'll have to consider the drawback of having to get another calendar app versus the benefits of such a function. But now I'm more convinced that there is no fix to get color categories in the sense calendar. If anyone else has info otherwise I would be glad to hear about it though
well what can i say ive never done it before.
downloaded the troutmob orange theme and installed the cab. so like wheres the theme? do i have to select it from somewhere or something?

Have you tried soft-reseting the device after installation?
Also..You'd probably get better answers as well as faster responses by asking questions in the developers original thread instead of starting a new one.
thanks. first time didnt work then did. but using with cht so dunno if that cause and issue? trying the chts theme too, whats the diffrence?
why does the background look blurry when the image file doesnt? and why dont the images you want to set as your today background never have the option to but the others do?
and also whys the background white on the calendar when the numbers and stuff are too. cant see a thing.
ok I guess im probably the best person to try and answer your questions on this one.....
ill start with the difference between the two versions.
the one from the theme thread contains a lot more files and is a more complete theme off the sense interface, however that does mean it can be a little bit of a pain in the ass to get it set up how you like it.
the chts version which im guessing you got from the link in my sig is kind of a "light version" it only really themes the cht stuff.
my advice would probably be to read up on chtscheduler and use that version. if you want other bits from the full theme then I can make you individual cabs for those.
as long as you have cht2.0 and cht scheduler installed everything should work fine.....
instructions for the chts one are in the thread.
the blurry wallpaper could be down to settings in chteditor, try selecting hq wallpaper mode. im not sure what you mean by options to set images as your today background.
your problem with the calendar is because when we created the theme we were using roms that had black text on the calendar tab and didn't really think about those with white text. tomorrow ill make a black and orange wallpaper for you if you want......
and thanks for using the theme
An ugly duckling perhaps...
I have moded the HIAPK teams sense-like dialler to make it look as much like stock sense as I can, I even borrowed the HTC dialler icon.
It's small (about 1.1MB for me), fast, simple, and now it looks good too. What more could you ask for? You've probably got room in your system partition for it seeing as how I managed to squash it into oxygen with oxygen hboot.
The Zip is not signed so you'll have to push it onto the phone. If somebody else could sign it or make a flashable zip for those that can't that'd be great. I tried using sign apk but it did't work and I don't have time to figure it out.
It's not perfect! I've gotten rid of the grey banding on the list successfully. Would have like to change the colour instead of having it all white.
Also, the app uses 1 png for all the buttons so the large ones are stretched. If somebody else knows how to change the xmls so we can add another png for the big buttons we can make it look nice and sharp!
Credit to Hi apk team!
Enjoy!
while we're on the htc theme... HTC SWYPE KEYBOARD
here the link to my HTC swype skins. They're very authentic looking indeed I'm sure you'll agree. Qwerty only at the moment until somebody else contributes.
