i'm just about losing it here and i'm willing to look into any sorta input i get...
i've trying to skin a qvga theme for 6.5.5 (build 23569) to get the background in black and the text in white, sort of the opposite of what the current look is in WinMo...
i've searched all over xda and a ton on other pda sites but i kept drawing blanks and heading into dead-ends...
i just need to know how to get an effect similar to what is achieved here or here
but instead of a gray shade or partial blackened areas, i'd like it all to be a solid black color with white text...
the only option that i can see left for me is to build up a theme from scratch but despite of the tiny few tutorials posted here, the all crucial part regarding the background color is still shockingly missing...
so...anyone??

Hi all,
I'd like to know how to change if possible the color of the vertical and horizontal scrollbars.
I got a nice flat black top and bottom bars and want scroll bars to match these rather than poor grey windows default.
I searched but really can't find an answer in the forum.
I would prefer a direct registry hack rather than a tweak app as most of the time it's difficult to know what changes these apps are doing to the system and though it's quiet hard to revert back to previous settings.
Thanks a lot

Hi,
I've been searching a bit for a white taskbar with black icons to match my Sense UI theme (preferably standard icons), but I can't seem to find it. I only find taskbars with all sorts of funky colors and strange looking icons that burst out with many colors.
Are there anyone who's a little better than me at searching who can find a way to get this, cause I simply just can't figure out how to get it.
I'm using the WM version where the start button is in the top left corner (not at the bottom which I've seen many people have). If that matters ^^
/*bump*/
A transparent taskbar would work as well if anyone knows about such a feature.
Found something similar to what I was looking for

No idea if it'll work, but at least it's a step on the way
I have the same thread question. But I basically want a WHITE top/bottom taskbar instead of Black. But that would mean, the white text would require to be black now.
Anyone know how I can get this? I've seen it done on "android" wanna-be skins. How do they do it?

Not sure. You could try asking the guy who made the thread I linked to.

To get the black text, install ovi's Colorpatch from here:

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
Hello everyone, I am an Italian partially sighted, and then I have big problems of view. I note with regret that Android is very configurable, but with more difficulty.
I have a HTC Desire with root privileges.
I would simply like to change most of the interface, not pleasure, but to use it, for example, I have to change anything that has white background with black background and then put white text, here's a list:
- Change backgrounds with blacks and whites to white text (it is called high-contrast)
- Change buttons with clear background and insert new ones with black background and white text
- A little larger all the characters
- Enlarge icons
- Have all black keyboard with white keys
- Have different software with a black background and white text
How do you see there.
I am a programmer and I also know Java and I have the android SDK installed, the only lacks experience in this system since I got two days ago.
I installed without success, Open Home, in the sense that I did not get good results.
Can you help?
I am willing to install something already done or create something from scratch I just do not know where to start, I know that Android is based on the topics of XML, but I do not know where in the system, such as retrieve and re-enter .
Excuse me for my bad english
Thank you all.

I have installed Sprint Lovers ROM CE OS 5.2.28232 (Build 28232.5.3.3) on my Sprint TP2.
In this ROM, the softkeys in the bottom menubar are all round. However, I have seen screen shots of many other wm6.5.3 custom ROMs that have the more elegant round version of menubar's softkeys. Compare the menubars in my two screen shots to see what I mean.
Does anyone know how to change the menubar softkeys to the round versions? If anyone knows of any ROM that has this added features for Sprint TP2, please let me know.
Thanks for your help.
check the thread you started @ ppcgeeks, you have some answers there.
For those interested, someone replied to my post in PPCGeeks. All you have to do is change the theme from HTC Black to Classic Blue or others in the settings.
Here is another request for everyone. Does anyone know of a CAB for a theme that preserves the HTC Black them but uses the round buttons instead of the squared ones? I don't like the blue, red, purple, orange, or green highlighting that I get from these other themes. I rather have the gray highlighting of HTC Black theme, but I want to get the round buttons instead of the squared ones. Does anyone know of a way doing this?
