^ 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)

[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.

[Help] How do I change the top bar and bottom bar colors?

I have a ATT Tilt w/ default rom.
The WAD2 theme I am using is black, however, the top bar and bottom bar are still the default blue. So when I go into file explorer or click on the start button, the default blue bars ruin my theme.
Any way to change those to black?
I searched and came across some threads, but those went beyond what I was looking for and confused me (not a programmer).
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
I am even welling to install WA3 to get it black.
Hope this helps

You should search for BlackBerry Redux theme.
Someone else did it and it is an amazing theme. I have changed a couple items to match my needs and WAD2 is great for that. Easy to learn also.

System Colors?

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.

Notifcation Panel chaned to a light theme after phone update

Recently updated my p20 to the 9.0.0 emui, and the phone changed to a light theme. Can't seem to change it back through notifications. Is there a way for me to change it (preferably without downloading a mod)? Thanks in advance!

You can achieve this with using a custom theme.
I'll post more about this later.

I'm very disappointed with the EMUI 9 update on the P20, I'm of course happy to receive the system speed enhancements, I just feel the user interface and graphical design very weak. ( IMHO )
" EMUI 9.0 features a simplified design to reflect natural elements and nature’s sound. Our inspiration comes from blending natural colour transitions and light and shadow with mountains, ocean water, glaciers and stones to form a translucent visual presentation."
I would be interested to know how to change these functions, if anyone can advise.
1- The Light theme is terrible and should have been made an option in settings rather than removing any chance of black mode. How to change the pull down notifications back to a black background and white icons.
2- The changing the Contacts images to mountains (if you haven't set one) when it used to be Initials seems unhelpful.
3- When using the Dialler contacts now have an allocated murky brown colour below the image and behind the icons. (which isn't the most flattering when people call you. )
