Guys n Gals,
I've knocked together a small program further to ZeBoxx's request.
It's used to set the colour of the soft keys etc, by command line/shortcuts/launchers.
eg VJBaseHue.exe 187
will give you a nice purple colour

really a cool proggy
I am currently testing code by code...I've tried to key in 3 different conbination code...doesn't seem to work though... now am testing the color coding.
Zack, I don't understand. You mean you're trying to find the right hue code by code? The colour wheel on my website might help you, or basically load up any art program, screengrab your theme, and use the colour picker to find the colour your want. Even the standard Windows Colour Picker in MSPaint will show the hue you need.
Post some screenshots in your VGA themes thread if you have any luck :wink:
V
I think I got it now :wink:
guess I must be dreaming lol.I was looking for dark blue and not realise that hue does not come with such colors lol...
Thanks Vijay am doing some minor test wiht my themes I'll post some screen shots soon :wink:
I was looking at VJBaseHue trying to figure out how to get the two bars 100% black (still no luck) when I found something else. Modifying the SHColor value has an effect on the tray above the soft keys. Normally it is an ugly line across the today screen that forces up the scroll bar at the same time, the icons like wirelles use the space. After randomly modifying SHColor the line dissapeared and so did the scroll bar. Also the icons moved down and to the right to be in the corner taking up less space. It seems strange that a colour setting can change the whole layout of the today screen, do yo know the reason for this VJ?
I don't know offhand Odeean, I imagine it might be some kinda buffer overflow etc..
Let me know what values you use, and if I ever get the WinMob source in my hands, I'll have a look!
V
Don't worry, I can't copy/paste from my reg editors and the value is too long to be bothered reading and typing I also have not been able to repeat what happened, I only now seem to be able to make it do the opposite. When I have no tray, modifing it brings it back.

Hi all.
I was looking through http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=44560 My Today Screen. and a topic that quickly interested me was lost in the middle of it. I figured I would open up a new thread and get the information out there about it.
Orientation aware Themes. Basically you can use two different wallpapers. One for portrait mode and one for landscape mode. I want to give the credit to Jacob-MDA as his was the first post I found in this thread about it.
You need 3 files. 2 Others are optional
REQUIRED
*.tsk file //Your Task file, it will have all the color information in it.
tdywater_240_320.gif //Today Screen wallpaper for PORTRAIT Mode
tdywater_320_240.gif //Today Screen wallpaper for LANDSCAPE Mode
OPTIONAL
stwater_240_320.gif //Start Menu Background for PORTRAIT Mode
stwater_320_240.gif //Start Menu Background for LANDSCAPE Mode
The numbers in the filename indicate the size of the GIF image by pixels, in width*height. so tdywater_240_320.gif is 240 Pixels wide and 320 pixels high.
TO USE.
The image files contain NO color information for the theme. You will still have to use or make your own theme to get the colors that you want. Load the theme and select it under the settings/today panel.
Once you have your theme selected. Drop your *water_###_###.gif files into the \Windows directory. When prompted overwrite the files that are already there. They were created by the theme when it is selected.
Examples
tdywater_240_320.GIF and stwater_240_320.GIF

"lightbox_next": "Next",

}
Results in
AND tdywater_320_240.GIF and stwater_320_240.GIF
Results in
Again, Please note that the title bars and other colors specified in the theme are not altered by these changes.
good info
I've made such themes, but my top menubar always turns out either grayscale or plain black. None of the theme-maker programs out seem to work very well for WM5 unfortunately; at this time they are more geared toward WM 2003.
TBCompDesign: great info. If it's not already there, could I ask you to stick this on the Wiki?
Grazie tanto!

Hi all, I accidentally spaced out and posted in the universal forum cause I seen Kyphurs links, but Im thinkin a few here might be interested due to the use of the zombienexus dialpads on the wm6 rom, plus it just looks good.
Im trying to find a true black theme that is glossy, either they look more gray and are glossy, or are black and flat, but I have noticed when I go to settings/today, and like switch from the gossy gray to the flat black, there is a split second where the true black is glossy, so if the setting could be found I imagine it can't be too much to fix it.
I don't have much stuff handy to mess with it, I did open a couple .tsk files with winrar on my remote pc, and got the images, but the config is unreadable to me, if someone knows a bit more I'd appreciate it them looking into it, in the meantime I'll try to get it figured out.
I also noticed though when going from an old wm5 theme, like the flat black ones to the actual wm6 themes that there is a lot that isn't added to the registry like in wm5.
Example if you go to
HKLM/software/microsoft/color
with a wm5 theme installed, then switch to a wm6 theme and refresh, you'll see the difference or atleast I did with the black wm6 and solo black themes found here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=295173
(also where my post is)
If you look at kyphurs page here
http://wm6.kyphur.org/Today Themes.asp
You can see the difference between the true black, and gloss gray.
If I have missed a true black glossy theme somewhere I apologize for the bother, I already had my post deleted once when I tried to add an attachment, so please excuse any misspelled words or babble, as it is getting late.
Here is a pic to show the buttons I am trying to match, I did go into HKLM/software/microsoft/color and change the "BaseHue" to 000, and the pic is as dark as it went..I could possibly be missin something, the changes were instantanious, and playin around I found quite a few neat colors..but no true black.

Set basehue to 160 and that will give you black baby.
Use ThemeGen if you want to build it into a theme, it's free.
does anybody know how to:
1) disable/change the gradient color of navbar
2) disable/change the gradient the start button when pressed
??
I've been messing with both Microsoft\Color\SHColor & GWE\SysColor but still couldnt find anything that'd affect the white gradient

Did you use the App i linked?
i use it and i have wm6 as well..
you can change about anything with this...
oh yes Ive tested it. It's basically what I've been playing with in syscolor, only difference being it is easier to edit in uitweak as I don't have to find the hex in syscolor blob. It still doesnt do what I want
I want to get rid of the following white gradient....it might even be a bitmap overlay...:

Also, I'd love to get rid of the start button text, as well as app titles on the task/navbar. So far I haven't found any solution in system level. I know this can be done in the code level.
Hey guys,
Would anyone mind telling me what vp3G_PTT_Reassign.zip is and how to use it? I've looked for info on it but came up short... I even installed it and though ohh what the heck; my comm manager button (top left) doesn't work anymore...
Also, I'd like to know how you get the shiny numbers on the clock? The ones that are real bright...?
Last, how do we get the battery status bar (HTC Home plugin) to be on top of the today screen and not on the bottom? It's annoying to have to scroll down all the time. ;P
This is the picture of what it is supposed to look like. (Unfortunately, my batt status bar is on the bottom.)

Thanx,

I believe the yellow section is the freeware "BatteryStatus" plugin, the green section is the HTC Home plugin (Free for WM6 users, but can easily be found somewhere in this bulletin board, and easily modified with this), and the blue includes the WM default lock/unlock today plugin and the "system tray" for WM. The only question is whether this is actually running WM6 or if it's being skinned by Wisbar Advance, which is pay-for software ($10 USD).
Anything else?
about the battery status bar...
Nice move Myr,
I hadn't thought about that! Putting them in different color squares makes it a whole lot easier to explain!
You see, the yellow square is a the bottom, that is until yesterday! I opened my phone today, and now it's somewhere in the middle. but I still would like to have it on top like it is displayed on the image (mind you, the image I put on this post is the picture of what it's supposed to look like, not the way it shows on my phone...).
Now that you've boxed everything, in the green square your clock is bright, your icons right under are colorful and you have different color icons below that... I've wracked my brain to figure it out with no luck! I must be crazy 'cause it looks like the answer is right in front of me... I guess I'm "blind"! I'll read the link in just a sec... I'll let you know.
Phil
No luck there...
I guess some things are to be left untouched!
I tried the plugin. Unfortunately, the "file are not found" so it cannot continue its application. What next?
Phil
About your plugin...
Like I said before, it doesn't work...
But now it says something else; "Cannot detect Home plugin, defaulting to v1.5 settings"...
Any idea what thaqt means???
Phil
Loved the original idea from here:

Its basicly a different visual clock, to read the hours see the left vertical columns and for the minutes see the right 5-rows columns.
The PDF on the site above explains it better...
To use:
---------
- 5 colors to choose from, just press the bottom bar to change colors.
- If you prefer a 12-hour clock, simply click the left numbers after 13h.
- Exit with enter (keypad) or by pressing the top-right area.
- See the "normal" digital clock and date by pressing anywhere else on the screen.
Notes:
-------
- Needs FLASH 7, if it doesnt exit properly, you dont have it.
- Attached the CAB, already with the WM6.5 icon on install.
- Also added a separated swf file, to see it run on your NOKIA, PC or Throttle Launcher..
Enjoy.
Nice idea
Love it! thanks!
it would be cool if it can be a screensaver.
thanks twolf!
WQVGA issue omnia
just wondering if there's a way to make the excess screen on my omnia to default BLACK- then your app would be awesome
maybe even add function buttons - there's some promising update potential
awesome clock - would it be possible to simulate the look of a recessed L.E.D.?
looks good on my armband at the CLUB!!!
Great...very cool with the color options!
Sorry, the software I use for the EXE only allows VGA/QVGA, he doesnt even allow any extra options for the size or screen color.
Use flash pimp clock
I need a macromediaflash for use it. someone can help me?
found it
Yes, yes my first app for the htc diamond.
it`s fantastic........... I`m cry
Standalone app?
Just wondering... what is the program you are using for these standalone apps? I could probably use the same thing to make my own FlashGadgets play as standalones, which would make them work across a broader series of device platforms. Please check out my thread, and tell me what you think. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=630985
