Unless I overlooked something, these are the files you need to alter in order to change the background of the new Neo interface. These files are kept in the Windows directory on your phone.
These include all the Neo backgrounds and thematically similar backgrounds for the rest of Windows Mobile. I deliberately left out the landscape versions of the screens since there's little likelyhood you'd need them, but if you want, change those too.

These links can be used to change the T-Mobile Hotspot icon to whatever you want it to be. I changed mine to an Internet Explorer icon. At least until I can figure out how to make Opera Mini launch from here!
All the other left side link icons follow the same naming convention. CHome_links_...

How about posting these files here? Or sending them to me?

Hey, how did you change the color for the comm manager? Also, when you were creating or using the icons, did you also have to make some for when they are inactive?

Thank you man.
Super useful!!
Hello, I just created cabs for different color themes for the Shadow, you can see how they look like in my personal site @freddyreyes.com:
Neo Blue Theme: http://freddyreyes.com/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=30&func=fileinfo&id=159
Neo Black Theme: http://freddyreyes.com/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=30&func=fileinfo&id=157
and if you want to go back the original T-Mobile Brown theme: http://freddyreyes.com/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=30&func=fileinfo&id=158
Those cabs also change the "application background" (what you see when you click on "start") and bar colors to match the themes.
Enjoy it.

nice work, i need to ask you something how you add more appplications inside the flo.. i mean in your pictures, i can see when you go to internet explorer, you have 6 items instead of 4. so you add google maps and stocks.. how you do that?
I'm working on putting together a cab file to do that. In the mean time you can see my current menu (registry entries) here: http://freddyreyes.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=71&topic=219.0

In order to simplify people lives (who don't want to do a lot of registry changes), I put together a cab file that extends the Intenet Menu and add an additional Menu.
1- This cab file modify the existing "Internet Menu" and adds Weather, News, OperaMini Links to it.
2- Creates an additional Menu with links to Google Maps, Traffic, Movies (TCPMP), Calculator, SmartPhone Notes and YouTube (vtap)
Note: It assumes that you have those applications installed in your "Storage Card"
My phone is already customized so I can't test it. I'm looking for volunteers to test it.

...Wow this is great but can I ask will this work on HTC TORNADO?
That will just install the color scheme. You still need to install the plugin itself on Tornado.
i've searched everywhere for some nice digital clocks, but everyone creates clocks with some really wierd fonts, or colors that isnt really my taste. So, i made a "concept art" of how a digital clock id like to use look like. (see attachments)
The clock has to be adjustable via CHT (i mean being able to move it around like the normal manila digital clock), so that i can use it in all screens, (Home , all levels, and lockscreen).
Anyone knows if anything like this exists?
if not, anyone willing to make it?
i used the font known as "Segoe UI" (light). Also, if possible, id like some extra versions of it, like the fonts being black instead of white, and an other one with having that black transparent panel behind the clock, using white for the fonts.
PS1:i know that the clock im thinking about looks horrible with the current looks of my phone, but i cant be arsed to change anything until i find a proper clock
PS2: i also know that theres a cab that removes the white panels behind the manila numbers of the clock. The thing is that, without it, the numbers got a little gap between them, looking ugly imo
I basically achieve this by mixing two cabs I've found here in xda
one is called
[Star] Segoe UI light clock charecters White.cab
and the other one is
Transparent Clock flippers.cab
you can find them here on xda posted by their respective authors.
edit: oh I forgot! you can use
transparent clock background.cab to get the effect you want
awesome! thanks a lot for ur reply!
Yeah use my cabs, but you will still get the lines its inevitable when you remove the clock flippers man
ah shame. i thought that ppl let those gaps there, so that the "flip" of the numbers looked better
excellent work with those cabs btw, they were exactly what i needed
I would love a clock like this also. Shame nobody wants to make it without the lines (from the flippers).
Having the lines kills the elegancy of it.
Hi everyone,
I get a solution to fix the problem with the flip lines but you have to be very carefully 'coz it's a bit risky...don't be panic, it works for me perfectly without problem and it would work for you guys too, just follow the instruction
1. Make a backup of the 7c60907d_manila go to your /windows directory and find that file, copy and paste it in your SD card.
2. Download the attached rar. file to your PC, extract the file and save the folder "NoFlipLIne" in your SD card
3. Using Total Commander or File Resco, go to your SD card and open the folder "NoFlipLine" and copy the manila file and paste it into your /Windows directory and accept overwrite (don't worry, you have a backup in case something go wrong)
4. Now reset Sence or restart your phone (as you prefer) and see if you like the magic
Also this manila file has a fix to get installed up to 20 CHT widgets too.
In case of any problem, just find your backed up original file and reinstall it back.
Remember, that works perfectly in my device, but I will not be responsible if it does not work well on yours or cause any other problems, so use it at your own risk
Enjoy it and please let me know if it works well for you.
Your feedback or just a Thanks button clicked is always appreciated.
Thank you for the reply, and your effort.
Unfortunately this did not work. I did exactly as you said, when I restart the phone, I get the original clock, with flippers, but no text where the time is. Basically the time (text) is blank and I just have the original flippers which flipe with nothing inside them.
I don't have screen capture software so I hope you know what I mean. I fyou want a screen print, please link a screen capture app.
I copied the original (backup file) to Windows and all is ok now.
My phone details are as follows:
ROM: 314 WWE (3.14.831.3
Manila: 2.5.20161330.0
WM6.5
Thanks again for trying. Any other suggestions?
ok, this s a little embaressing, I feel like an idiot.
There was no clock text as everything was white. When I mucked around and applied the 'transparent flippers' boom, the clock is just like the pic. PERFECT.
Thanks heaps. I have 'thanked' your post. Good job.

Hi again my friend,
I forgot to give you a hand with this one too, so here I'm again
For screen capture I use a great app that is very easy to use and works perfectly and with good quality, it is "Shake and Save" which you can find it in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=488990
Best regards.
Wow, brilliant app. Thank you x2. For the app, and the clock.
So, in case you didn't know already, the Continuum's soft keys are actually part of the one full screen... Which means we can change them with a little effort

CWM 3 : http://www.mediafire.com/?k12f85pu8b0vr6o
If you want the default Softkey Functions back (like when you want to try any of the other softkey themes) Then flash the Default_Softkey_Actions.zip

***NOTE ABOUT CWM 3***
Not all the packages are CWM 3 compatible... The Nexus Theme is, and so is the Defaul Softkey Action zip.... For now if you want to flash any of the other themes, download the old Blue cwm 2 and flash that from within the new yellow cwm 3. Then you can flash the files
If you want a certain theme converted, i will do that... I just don't wanna waste any extra energy doing that if i don't have to
***DIY***
THEMING:
If you wanna try tackling this yourself, there really isn't much you have to do... Before embarking, however, make sure you have at least a little knowledge in what your doing....
What You'll Need:
-The Framework-res.apk from /system/framework
-7-zip (easy way)
-(optional) Update-Zip-Packager (not my creation, thank the developer of this batch for his wonderful project )
Steps:
Now, right click on the APK and go to 7-zip --> Open Archive..
A window will appear, where you now maneuver yourself to assets --> images...
Select all of the four google_key_icon_*.png images within that folder, and drag "Copy To" your deskop...
Now, add your special touches to those images
When done, just drag those images back into that same folder you got them from within 7-zip Manager, and you are set
To throw this apk into a flashable zip, i just used Update-Zip-Packager found on XDA... However, you can use ClockWorkRecovery/ADB also... Whatever you want
NOTICE: Backup your old framework-res.apk just in case :3
BUTTON MAPPING:
What You'll Need:
-ADB (or Root Explorer )
-Text Editor (on your computer )
Steps:
The button configuration for the Continuum is located at /system/usr/keylayout, and the file name is qwerty.kl
First we need to mount System as RW... To do this, Use ADB, and type "adb shell /system/bin/mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/block/stl9 /system"
Now that it is mounted properly, we have to copy the qwerty.kl to the computer... Type "adb pull /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl"
(Of course you can just use Root Explorer or another such app if you so choose, but that cost money this is free )
Now, open the file open in your favorite text editor, it doesn't really matter...
Here is a list of the codes and the corresponding button... This is important, because there are more than one buttons labeled as, for example, "Menu":
key 158 = Back
key 139 = Menu
key 217 = Search
key 102 = Home
Make your appropriate changes, and save...
Now you gotta push it back to the phone, which you can either use the Update-Zip-Packager again, or you can just use ADB in CWM
Step 42: Profit
Any modifications that you make yourself, don't be stingy Share with the community, for everyone to use! Just send me the framework-res.apk and/or qwerty.kl, and i will do the rest
Or you could make the zip yourself, that works too
Ticker Clock Colors:
We have managed to figure out how [Thank you Jaizero for helping me with this ] to change the color of the Ticker Clock (and also the date, music info text, etc )... If you want to see a certain color, just ask nicely below, providing at the same time the Hex code you would like to see exactly! If you aren't sure how to find the Hex Code of the color you want, just do a google search for, say, "Blue Hex Value" or something along that lines
If you are thankful just hit thanks<3
Hmm, that sounds interesting. What were you thinking about modifying then to?
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA App
can you change the functions as well? or just the icons...
It would be nice to have the ability to lock them during game play because I have the tendency to bump them on accident from time to time and the ability it change the color would be absolutely appreciated
Sent from my Rooted Space Time Continuum w/h a 2600mAh battery
1) yeah, I thought this was a cool little hidden plus for our phone and I was thinking maybe for the "clean"people maybe just dots, and maybe for the metro ui people the actual words, like "Menu" "Home" and the works...
2) Yeah, I can change the function, but that doesn't involve what I am talking about.. I'm pretty sure there is a *.ko file in system I can edit to modify the soft keys... idk why you would want to though
3) I don't know how to lock them, sorry froyo has a default setting to make them time out after a while, however... So maybe when we get a froyo rom I can check it out for you
Also, I can change the colors, sure... Just so you know though, once you flash a themed file, you can't change the color until you flash another file... So no automatic color changing if that's what your thinking.. It can be done, I just don't know how to program apps xP
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA Premium App
That sound like it will be awesome. I would love to chane the colors also
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA App
Thats awesome but my only question is would o have to flash it through the recovery or odin
Sent from my Rooted Space Time Continuum w/h a 2600mAh battery
Another question, will I be able to change a certain softkey a different color eg. Home, blue search, green or would they all have to be the same color.
Sorry for all of these questions but one of the main things I wanted to do besides updating to 2.2 was to change the softkeys and since you discovered the ability to do so I figured it's better to ask then to wonder. LoL
Sent from my Rooted Space Time Continuum w/h a 2600mAh battery
lol, i like answering questions, so its no problem
They don't all have to be the same, i can make each one a different color if i wanted... Just give me a template with what you want done, and i'll try and get it done Like, what color do you want for what, and what should they look like? (original, words, "dot", etc)...
and i can make a recovery package for you if you want it when/if i finish
I would say let's start off simple and work from there let's keep the original icons and go with a cyanogen blue
And with the recovery package will it work with the stock recovery or will I have to install cwm
Sent from my Rooted Space Time Continuum w/h a 2600mAh battery
Just so you know before i start, whatever i make is going to be "grayed" down because of that gray strip we have where the softkeys are.....
and your going to need cwm It's pretty easy to do it nowadays
*Duplicate *
Thats fine with me, but will I also need cwm to install the new soft key theme
Sent from my Rooted Space Time Continuum w/h a 2600mAh battery
Yes, you will..
Here is a quick pic of cyan-like softkeys... The blue is much more pronounced when you actually have it installed... Would something like that be good?
Hells yea. LoL
But is there a way to make them brighter with out having to adjust the screen brightness like the icons I have now
Sent from my Rooted Space Time Continuum w/h a 2600mAh battery
I like the idea of having cyan colored keys. Great work
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA App
For me I would love to see green, thanks for doing this btw.
I can do green next and no problem its actually pretty easy lol..
Lincoln3828: Here's the thing, with the screen shot the cyan blue is very bright... Whatever you set the brightness for the screen, the soft keys follow... Also, even though those icons look really bright, when you flash it it is a lot more darker/not as bright... It looks more blue, but yeah, not as bright... There isn't anything I can do for that... Thanks to the grey stripe :l
EDIT:
Green Softkeys i think they might be a litttle too dark green when you actually flash it, imo
Do you like it though? haha
Green looks awesome man, cant wait till you upload some stuff lol. Thanks again man
I would love to see some different icons man, Say some text icons maybe? Idk how it would look though because it doesnt look like there is enough room to fit the full words.
Hey Friends,
I've mixed up a theme with the classic Gingerbread Icons (exept the battery).
This theme is made on the base of the "Meizu Dark theme" from natious (you will see some colors and impressions of this)
so thanks a lot.
Sorry, the screenshots are a little crap
Update:
Now I use the Installation file from Meizu Dark with the most of natious themed apks. It shut be complett. My sugestion is replace the bootanimation with the "Particel ring" and flash the themed calendar.apk from sohrab1985. Looks great.
If you don't like the Battery, you can change it with the UOT Kitchen
New Version:
add providersettings.apk from meizu Dark
add calculator.apk from meizu Dark
add settings.apk
add swipe.apk from meizu Dark
add mms.apk from meizu Dark
add contacts.apk from meizu Dark
add a few fonts from meizu Dark
Download:

Have fun and keep it simple
Please, tell me if there any problems.
look great... testing now.
great theme but i love blue on black or white on black ... but still great theme well done
Fab I like it a lot. This'll stay installed for a while. Any chance of sticking a percentage in the battery icon?!

Use UTO kitchen to change the battery. Just go to the page, make your choise and upload the systemUI.apk (root/system/app) and the framework-res.apk (root/system/framework). UTO Kitchen works not at every option but for change the Battery does it work.
my Tab fights with Kratos
This is a great theme, thanks a lot for sharing! But I have a quick question:
Is there is a very plain and basic 100% Stock Gingerbread Theme for KRATOS?... just the 100% stock mostly BLACK (which saves battery) along with orange highlights that comes straight from Google... nothing else or modified just stock, no more no less!
Thanks for the advice.

I can try it at the Weekend but I can not do any promise. If you have other wishes or suggestions, tell me. Maybe you like 6 Bottens in the quick setting bar for example.
Btw: I'm just a expirienced user so I have no special skills to do this. I also have no original GB Themed device so I don't know how the Stock theme looks exactly but I'll do my best.

Thank you very much for your reply. I am not sure which the Quick Settings button is that you refer but its OK, the only thing basically I would like is to strip out all customizations that Samsung and the KRATOS chef did, and have a lean and plain stock Gingerbread like Ive seen n most phones. Its a pure battery-saving theme with most screens using black background and highlighted items are orange. If you can look at a few standard phones with Gingerbread in it they will all look the same kind of like this. It is actually the most simple and cleanest interface.
Anyway, thank you VERY MUCH for your interest and effort and I look forward when you have time to try it and give you feedback. I know many other members and users of the galaxy tab would appreciate having a stock Android look on their machine that has been impossible because of the changes Samsung made to their ROMs.
Danke noch einmal

HELP with some elements
Its been a while I posted on this great thread and have since then done a lot of customization on my Tab but now stuck on 5 key elements id like to know if someone can help me:
1) How do I change the background color of the Phone App? On all 5 tabs of he phone app (Dialer, Logs, Contacts, Groups, Favorites + the outgoing dialing screen itself) the background is White. I want it changed to black but dont seem to locate the file. I was successful in changing the background color to black on the incoming call screen (the files are call_incoming_bg.png and call_incoming_bg_h.png on the phone.apk and just made them black and that's it)... looks super nice. But for the outgoing calls screen and phone app itself, its all still white and I dont know where to edit or if there is a PNG file that control the background.. I dont seem to know where it is (see attachments 1 & 2)
2) I wanted to change the Missed Call icon with a custom I made that I already and use on the top taskbar, that was very easy (its the stat_notify_missed_call.png in framework-res.apk). But the same icon that's displayed in the phone's Log tab I dont seem to locate where it is and to my surprise its NOT in the phone.apk. Can someone tell me where that file is? (see attachment 3)
3) I have managed to successfully tweak many of the elements of the notification pull down menu, like giving it transparency in certain parts on bottom and top, but I cant control color or transparency of the background of the ONGOING operations that have a fixed white background and that id like to change. (see attachment 3) Equally, Id like to change the color and some of the wordings of the WIFI, BLUETOOTH, GPS, SILENT, ORIENTATION LOCK functions. Where can I edit those?
4) Where can I edit the white background color of the pop-up Power-Off menu on the tab that is white (see attachment 5)? I edited the icons easily from the framework-res.apk but dont seem to know what controls the background color..
5) Finally, which files control the blues that usually are displayed in most dialog pop-ups and dialogues? I want to change them to black and grey but have no idea where they are located and which files I should edit.
When Im all done Ill post my theme for download, I think maybe some users might like to give it a try and feedback will be welcome wither way
In advance, thanks a lot for your expert advice on all this
I have finally taken the time to try to get my icons the way I want them to look on this phone. I stopped developing my tweaking skills in the days of WinMo 6.5, but I decided to tinker with a framework-res.apk in one of Trailblazer's mods to swap out all the icons I wanted to change.
After sifting through many other themes mostly made for the Fascinate, I have repacked the file with the icons I wanted. I also blanked out the Ticker History button and the "No Data" button for the Weather on the Ticker. See Screenshot.
I am sure there is a better way to install this file, but I took the framework-res file out of Trailblazer's Touchwiz Accurate Theme, replaced all the icons I wanted in the file and then I copied it back into his .zip file. I was then able to flash the .zip file in Recovery. I am sure you can use Root Explorer or some sort of file manager program to replace the file, but I haven't had the best of luck replacing files that way so I went with what I knew would work.
I figured I would share my work in case anyone else has wanted a different look for their Continuum.

Awesome! I have one question for you though... You stated you "blanked out the Ticker History button and the "No Data" button for the Weather"... Are the blanked out so if your finger/hand/palm, what ever touches those areas, it doesn't open the damn address search (for weather) or the ticker history? If that is the case, I have been wanting something like this for a while, I just haven't had the time to dive into exploring this, and TrailBlazer seemed to have been working on it, so I figured I'd wait for him. Thanks dude!
I've been working on my batch so that it actually removes the buttons, like totally (not just blank images)... Finished it yesterday, just need someone to test it any volunteers? Lol
You can choose the clock color, softkey images, button remaps, hide/show history and/or weather icon.....

Spearoid, I tried using root explorer to replace the apk from blazers theme with the one you posted. No luck.
Blazer, I would be more than willing to volunteer to try your batch out.it includes all the things I want to change.

Yeah, I've had little luck doing file replacements on vital system files that way.
I took the .apk in the OP and overwrote that file in Trailblazer's Touchwiz Accurate theme .zip file.
I open Trailblazer's zip file with a program like WinRar....then browse to the system/framework folder...and drag and drop my new .apk into that folder....it overwrites...and I copy the zip file to my SD card and flash from recovery.
all is good from there
I wish I knew how to take files like these and put them in a new flashable zip file. I'd probably be more inclined to do more tweaking if I could
And Moon Shadow, they are just transparent png files. The buttons still function.
But I'm with you, I'd much rather have them be invisible AND non-functioning
Trailblazer, post up the link. Now that I have this thing working right, again, I'll beta
Looks great. Just got it working last night. I really like the blue. And three battery icon is bigger which makes it easier to see. Great work!

Sweet, I'm glad someone likes it!
The battery icon was my primary motivation for making the new file. The white text on green was almost impossible for me to see.
