Ok, I've seen this in some custom roms (not many) where the smartdial area and talk button are not this boring grey and green talk button. But, on older dialer's the smartdial color was just a bitmap to change it as well as the talk button. That doesn't seem to be the case now and I would like to see mods done with it or a tutorial on how to do it. Thanks.
Anyone? I have changed the smartdial04.bmp file and when I copy it to Windows, it doesn't change
Are you looking fore something like this?
I'd recommend Dinik's dailer 2.0. glassy buttons and clolored call and end keys, also beautiful in call buttons. check it out! keyboard cab is sweet too!
Thanks guys and I know of all Dinik's stuff. The area I'm talking about is the highlight where your phone numbers are (grey in color). Changing the color of that area. I've seen it on a few roms (ok, maybe one..NRGZ's) where it changed to blue. Which I know is indicated by Smartdial_04.bmp if I'm not mistaken. But, if I change that color and drop it into windows, the color of the selection bar is still unchanged.
realised i was wrong. post needs deleting

I read on another post to get the glossy black theme, by changing this string.
Code:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Color\BaseHue=dword:0 default b0d57b in the MB rom.
my problem is that only change the top and bottom bar to black.. I also want to know if anyone knows the string to change the side bars and start drop menu to black or clear cause I use pocketbreeze and ilancher. thank you for input.
even if you change it through the registry, its gonna go back if you change the wallpaper or anything. Right now im working on a permanent black theme but havent been able to have any success.
I think it has something to do with the shell32.exe that I cannot modify with reshacker or Resource editor.
Anyone got any ideas?
Searching for black.
yeah after I use the registry string, the top and bottom bars of wm6 works as black and glossy but the side bars...and inbetween lines when you have other programs installed such as pocketbreeze and ilauncher the lines are still blue from the theme that comes with MB rom is there anyone to have them clear so it looks more tidy? or trying to get rid of that colour to black. As for pocket breeze if anyone wants to remove the lines in the tabs...you have to edit the skin.ini file.
Try This?

This theme, cyclic_blackbars.tsk has very black, shiny bars.
I don't know how it does it, because when I look at the menubar color setting in SKTools it says 137, but if you have any other theme up and you plug in 137 in the menubar color setting, you don't get this shiny black.
Maybe you can take the theme apart and figure more out from it.

I have not been able to duplicate shiny black with BaseHueExpress, nor have I been able to create a turquoise with it that really matches the Crossbow theme color.

I think this theme may have come from one of Molski's packages, so it may be in that Molski theme pack, but just the one I like, that has the shiny black bars, cool black-to-white shading on menu dropdowns and on popups, and a cool black,blue and gray wallpaper is below:
just make your basehue value to anything between 160 and 175 and u'll have shiny black bars, change wallpapers all you want after that, it'll remain shiny black. The problem is most theme generators dont let u assign values higher that 80 in greyscale for basehue...
There are a bunch of themes that have black start menus, black scroll bars though i havent seen yet, ill try that when i get home and see how it looks. If it looks ok ill post the theme but, again to get the top and bottom bars black ull have to change the basehue in the registry as the program i use to make themes wont let me assign a value higher than 80 for greyscale basehue.

I used basehue and than just took a picture with my lens covered and use it as background. Looks good, I'm sure there is a more high tech way to do it but this seemed to work fine.

Hallo, I have a question. Under the titlebar and above the bar with the calendar and the contacts in wm6 is a small gray line. Is there any way to remove it or to change the color?

Welcome to the forum
I used to have a bar similar to yours but in the upper part of the screen, and later I understood that was a very nice and dicreet battery meter, I´m not sure if in your case could be the same. If not try to reflas the ROM if it´s very anoying for you, otherwise I don´t think it´s a big problem...
I invite you to READ the Wiki.
Hope it helps and good luck,
lol.. that's amazing. i have been plowing my polaris for almost a year now and not once did i notice this bar. you must have very sharp eyes.
I don't remember seeing an option to change this bar in any of the color customizing applications i've stumbled into. you can use a different shell tho.. if you want to get rid of it.. like Wisbar Desktop Advance..
i might be wrong (it happens to us all haha) but this can be changed with UI tweaker (edit)? or do as Nir says and just change the theme
I already tested UI Tweaker, but there is no option to change this line. I thought this lines are the plugin seperators, but that was wrong.
Whit Wisbar Advanced this lines are black. That all I want, but with wisbar there are to many other changes I don´t like.
unfortunately i have no idea how you can change that.. as i tried UI Tweaker myself to see if it's possible and didn't manage.
RC Mod doesn't work either..
mmmm, if the lines really do your head in, change the colour of the top bar itself personally i use black (hence no lines) but i had to change the theme first.
I'm using the classicblack theme and i still have that bar.
my screen shot. I dont have the lines?
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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=642766
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...
So this is a request for somebody way more skilled than I, but i think it would benefit the whole community,
so the GB keyboard has an .xml file that controls the colors of the text prediction, is their anybody here who could make that value editable from the settings menu, much like on CM7 you can change the notification power widgets, or on cm6.1 you could change the colors on alot of things, this would allow people making themes to just put the keyboard into their theme and then the end user could set it to any color they wanted.
also since i know the keyboard has that orange spacebar glow, why not make it white or gray so that way it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb if say the user picks pink, pink and orange don't exactly blend well
i hope somebody can do this i think it would be a great addition i just dont have the know how (or photo editing skills) to do it myself
this also would be a good inclusion into CM7 as a whole, but if not it would always have a spot in the Android EVOlved project.
I have been recently messing around with the color accents on my phone. So far I have managed to make a nice Black, Red, Silver theme. However I am stuck with one key I cannot seem to find.
I have successfully managed to change almost all the text to red using these keys:
HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\1\
ProgressBarBackground
TextNeutralColor80
TextNeutralColor75
TextNeutralColor60
TextNeutralColor30
TextNeutralColor20
TextNeutralColor
ContrastColor
However I cannot seem to find the White text that displays on Tiles nor can I find the color that represents the actualy TILE in the call log or textmessaging. I know they are two separate registry settings because using an OLD advanced config I can easily change the tile color to say Dark Blue however the actual text color in the call log and text message area will still be the normal blue. Which is because the old one did not know where the other keys were. So does anyone know of the entire full list of Registry Keys for editing text colors?
Would be cool to see screen shots of your customizations

Have you looked into the XAML files in \windows. There's a thread where someone mentioned these files are related to the themes/accents. The first 2 digits refer to the theme 00 & 01. The second 2 digits refers to the accent color. They somehow work with the registry values.
For more info, see this post.
Ok excellent. I will poke around in that particular file and see what changes what.
Being on an HTC I can easily overwrite in the windows directory so this should not be a problem.
As to a screen shot I will take a look at the new build of WDM and see if I can screenshot it.

Yes, WPDM lets you take screenshots. You must have the multitasking/dehydrate hack enabled though so it'll stay connected with TouchXperience running in the background when you change screens.
Unfortunately the values for what I am looking for is not in those XAML files. Apparently editing those only changes how apps read the accent colors and does not actually change the colors I am looking for.
The only colors I have left to change is one single value somewhere but I have done searches of the registry and through those Xaml files and they seem to not be there. :-/ It looks great right now, but would blend completely if I could just fix these last few.
I attached a few screens. You can see exactly where I still have a silver/grey text even though it should be red.

If I'm not mistaken some of the fonts are semi transparent, white with the black bg showing through. The first 2 digits are the alpha transparency value. I believe FF is solid where 00 is fully transparent. Another thought, is they look to be the same color of the button icon bar. Either way, looks nice.
