System Colors? - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

hi @all
i'm using the latest energy rom from here. I was trying to change the colors of outlook and the rest of the original windows mobile stuff from white background to black background and white text with sktools.
So far, so godd but i have the problem, that now the contact list is white background/white text just the highlighted one is ok. in SMS view via outlook it works great and even some menus are good some others not working that way but i think these are sense menus which would be ok for me. For example the file manager is also as i like it. what to do to solve this problem is there a solution? or maybe an easier way to change just this white background into black and the main text into white?

you probably will not able to do, wm background color value is used for others screens, I mean: when you set a black BG ,the same value is used for something else (can't remember which element.. text or highlight).
then every black background has this side effect.
the best you can reach is this dark grey combination (from Artemis rom thread and a WP7 variation) that let you read the text in all situations

}
you can also play with the attached UITweaker , not every option work on wm6.5 but the most of them do, and make all your tests.
for more infos check out the windows mobile forum and look for skinning WM6.5 threads

thanks alot! i got an compromise now which is working well so far. with sktools i swapped the color values and somehow now it works great even the highlighted stuff is ok so i found nothing which is incorrect so far even the settings menu or so it's fine don't know why it wasn't working the first time i did that. i would go over to android but i need the garmin app which is not working under it.

Guys, I was at the Modaco meeting this weekend, and one of the Microsoft guys there said that the green theme has just been given legal clearance to be released to the public.
Give it a while and then we can start bugging them if they don't release it.

Has anyone of you any idea on how to switch back to the traditional blue colored homescreen ?
Would that be an easy task or require modification of the firmware ?
Asking urgently for advice !
Thanks.
It's a Theme
Settings->Today :roll:
As I see there is still no info about the green htc theme ....
is there any tytn roms avaliable for download? maybe i will be able to dump one a get the theme from there.
I think the Theme is just a .TSK file in the \Windows folder.
The only thing different is the CommManager.. ..you can't skin that yourself. So you have to extract that.
Havn't seen any ROM for the TyTN yet
Here is the HTC TyTN Theme. This will not change the Phone Skin or Comm Manager Application
sweet thanks!!!!
thanks a lot rkorzuch i have searched for this theme a lot
thank you for sharing!
that green is hard to match!
HTC_default.tsk vs HTC_default using start image theme
Ben thon sent me an updated HTC_default.tsk theme he made using start image only (no tdywater.gif). Ben noted there were differences between the 2 themes even though they use identical color keys and images.
This may be because WM5 chooses dominant color in the Today image.
The differences seen are in the title bar and menu text - see pics
Please try both versions and post your results.
I have attached both tsk files the normal one without the system attributes that made it hard to copy theme via activesync.

[Q] Changing Default Background Color

So I have been looking all over and cannot find an answer anywhere. i dont know if it can be done even! but god i hope so.
I am trying to change the default windows background color. not the task bar, not the background... Here is an example:
{
"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"
}
see the blue gradient in the background? how do i change that!?
Also, what about the blue lines on the today screen? can i make those Orange somehow? here is another example:
the blue lines that extend from the dates or the blue line that divides the menu programs from the recent programs.
Help!
Thank You so much!
PS: What is this called? haha.
Download and install RC Mod. Spend some time playing with its features. It does exactly what your looking for and then some.
Enjoy
look for Settings+, it's an active thread in the Dev&Hack section. you can change the general colors of the device using the app.
Not sure about the background tho.
UI tweaker does it all i believe, just needs patience as not too use friendly on some devices

Both work Excellent!
Settings+ is a little simpler to use, but RC Mod can give me a more precise color.

Menu Colors

its such a pretty phone with such a pretty interface and yet there are some graphical inconsistencies that are buggin the hell out of me. when touchflo 3d is turned on and off the start menu and quick menu change color schemes. i dont like any of those colors the way they are and i want to change them. how would i go about doing this? thanks. and it doesNT matter about the colors withOUT touchflo 3d because i will probably always have it on. i was just showing that it was different and how weird that is.
btw im running da_g's clean fuze rom which is why it doesnt quite look like the oem rom. i also included screenshots to show you what i am talking about.

^omgmyspace! screenshots!
any help? no? i just want to change some colors.
You might want to look at this thread. It's the Manila customizer. There's far more you can do than just color changes, but I think it's your only hope, unless you find an existing theme that somebody else already made.
so it is in the manilla theme? cause i installed the stock att theme from da_g's cab list and it looks different than the stock roms which made me think it was a registry entry that was not added. but ill check it out.
i felt a bit overwelmed last time i tried to use manilla customizer when i was trying to change the background on all tabs, which ended up never getting changed. but ill have another go at it and maybe ill get more things just the way i want.
what i figured out was it wasnt manilla customizer i used it was manilla editor i had used. but both are useless. HKLM\Software\HTC\EnlargeMenu\ and HKCU\Software\HTC\TaskManager\ and the dwords ManilaCustomHlDown and ManilaCustomHlUp in each which let me change select colors. its hex but its backwards hex so instead of rgb its bgr. that stumped me for like 15 minutes. and apparently you use the string CustomManilaTexture to change the backgrounds but its not working for me yet. ill fiddle with that until it does.

WM6.5 Messages panel - what is the name? (Samsung Jack)

I flashed my Jack with WM 6.5 recently and loaded the Titanium panels. But I am not seeing an "all in one" panel for Missed calls, Email, Text, and Voicemail. Instead I have a panel for each one.
I checked out the list of apps/panels in the 3vo ROM's for the Excalibur and nothing seemed to be the panel I'm after.
See middle Screenshot at the bottom of first post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523718
Or just below the Wifi panel in this SS.

Anyone know where I can find the stand alone installer? Or help narrow down the search terms? The results I am getting haven't helped find it yet.
I was able to find the info in the Titanium CPR file on the 3VO rom, so I copied that over to the file for my phone. It works!
I just can't find the icons though, I've got red x's on the condensed view and 2 of 4 icons in expanded have red x's. I've looked over the text a lot and I just can't find where they are pulling from.
Looking at the image keys in the registry I see the following:
Value Name: chNotification_cv_email
Value Data: 2003
I'm guessing that is pulling from a DLL, but I am stumped on where to find the name of the DLL so I can view the contents to pick new icons.
Have you tried checking with CHomeConfigurator? I have both the combined panel and the individual ones...

Is there a way to reorganize messaging items/get rid of a particular item e.g. voicemail?

I think you would have to edit the CPR file and comment out the items you don't want to use. If you're editing the CPR file, make a copy for safe keeping in case you mess it up.
Commenting an item out should be easy enough, you'll probably have to adjust the spacing afterwards to get things to appear neatly again.

[Q] Help with The Changing of Theme Colors. REG HACK

Hi guys and thanks everyone who found this tweak out.

^ the explorer bar color is painful to the sight. Doesnt match with the white background. I cant find the correct option to change this color no matter how hard i try to find them. Does anyone know?
^ In the app list, Long hold an item. The Text that says "Pin to start" etc. doesnt match AT ALL! I think its related to the Status Bar below if im not mistaken as they are the same color. The image shows a different color but it is actually almost the same as the status bar's. Anyone knows how to change this? THANKS
LASTLY...
^ "Ratings" color in the Marketplace is the same as background, No idea how to change this. I MIGHT GET CONNED INTO BUYING A LOUSY APP! :O Anyone knows how to change this?
also, The top bar isnt that great. Anyone knows how to change this too? THANKS AGAIN.
By the way, I've noticed that some of the regidtry entrys for colors, Like colors in the email application links to the ones i changed for the Light Theme. Changing for one type of Theme might cause both to be Changed. So, any ideas anyone? THanks ALL
Does anyone know off hand what controls the color of the star ratings in marketplace and when placing a review? Mine seems to be completely black, which means that
I cannot see the stars without changing my background colour.
Also, I noticed a few minor observerations:
- If you change the Theme color to anything other than FF00000000 your dialer becomes white.
- If you don't have 8 digits in a color bad things can happen (in one case I had 9 digits in one colour and all apps crashed on start until I changed the theme to light and fixed the dark version of the value)
