Hey guys,
Just got my today screen all setup with a black setup (top and bottom bars as well), but for some reason the messaging window (outlook or texting) is full of a bunch of horizontal black and white bars unless the item is highlighted.
Anyone know whats up?
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!
sounds like a setting on the theme generator you use. lines are probably the same on the notes menu also.
there seems to be two colours used on the messaging/notes menu, full of horizontal lines. you should be able to change them on your theme generator, i could when i had the same problem after creting a theme.
change both settings (usually notes/ msg colour 1/ to the same colour, this will sort it.
Have a good look through the wiki, almost all colours are detailed there, or use a better theme editor.

Pardon my ignorance but what is the wiki?
What theme editor do you guys recommend?
Changing 36 to 37 fixed the CONTACTS background but not the Notes/Messaging

Hello,
Is there any registry tweak or something like that to change the background of contacts window? That horizontal lines are ugly and make the names almost illegible .. specialy with true type fonts enabled.
Thanks
Hello hello,
I think the setting for those lines is included in your today theme. Take a look at this software:

Lets you change some internal colors like the bars, and also the color of circles that pop up when you tap and hold. Hope this helps.
Fantastic! I have no idea that the bars in Contacts, Tasks etc background had something to do with the settings of the theme but is precisely that.
Much appreciated for your help. It's solved now
Sorry again for my poor english
No problem. Those lines are especially annoying when they overlap with contacts/messages. Glad I could help.
UI Tweaker v0.5.4.3
I found this freeware and originally downloaded it just to get black title bars on themes that came with grey ones. But, it turns out that you can use it to tweak virtually all colour settings on your device.

OR if that link doesn't work, try here: (Thanks to Corrupted Sanity)

If you've never seen it and like changing theme and system colours, i reckon this piece of free kit is worth your investigating. (Alternatively, flash a Manila 2D ROM and use mpenguin's M2DC customiser!)

please refresh the link it's down thaanx

Hey folks - BIG THANKS. IUtweaker is exactly what I needed for my minimalist theme.
I was able to change the softkey background very easily with this to white.

I downloaded this app a few days ago and it works really nicely.
One question though is how do I change the background color of my phone contacts and emails?
Somehow I changed the color from white to a grey and white horizontal stripe background. I want to change it back to white.
Hard to figure out what all the descriptions are.
In syscolorchange, I changed "selected item color" which is when I choose a contact or email , the background is blue which is fine.
I want to change the color of the items I don't select.
I don't know what the unselected items are called.
still working (at least SysColor utility) on wm 6.5.5
Is there an app, cab or regristy edit that I can use to make my text color on my today screen to black or blue? id like to change my wallpaper to the white diamond background but can't see my messages or calls icons.
you can use tweaks2k2 software to change your font color, hope that will be useful for you.
Try RC Mod for text & more...it's mem light & easy to use. There are cabs all over the forum...
try this:
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Color
"34"=hex:FF,FF,00,00
"35"=hex:00,00,FF,00
Are there any tweaks to change the colour of the font displaying Missed Calls/Calendar/Date/Alarm etc on the Home Screen (or even better, to have an opaque box behind the text)?
I have some nice photos I want to use as backgrounds, but they are mostly white so I cant see any text!
Cheers,
Doc
same for me... i wanna use a more lighter background picture. But with the white letters its not really useful.

could you please tell me if this tool works for you and your HD? I want to change my home screen font color too but i still didn`t found a way...
Thanks,

I've look also for the exactly same thing and I've reached to the following conclusion: you can't do anything about it.
I've tried tons of programs, registry editing, hexa editing etc. Spend days on the issue. Nada, nothing. I even some some experienced users saying that it can be changed almost any colors on tabs, exept the ones above.
LE: I think the most closest possibility for us to obtain this effect is to manually edit the wallpaper and place some dark boxes where the text is written, but this means that the dark boxes will apear on every other tab also.
hello...I have tried this UItweaker on my touch hd...
I tried the one to change the today screen font color...
and spinning wheel of death occured...
so I killed the UITweaker but the font color indeed changed
I soft reseted and changed it back - again spinning wheel of death - and after having back to nromal I removed it because it seems like not the program I want to my mess my phone...since it seems the device does not like it....
and anyway..i think that after having this program my google mpas started to be stupid - I dont know if it really is because of this - but now the google maps show My Location as a venezuela...that is not true, I am in middle europe...WTF I want it work again normally...
this sucks
so if you want try it, it changes the color, but it is not working flawleslly and I hate that...
The UI Tweaker only messed up my other colors, but doesen't changed the color I wanted.
Take care using it.
I also had issues with UI Tweaker, I somehow changed the background of the buttons on the home page (Phone, Programs, x button etc) to pink and couldnt change it back!
I remember seeing a Russian Rom that had black text on the home screen, so I do think its possible.
My workaround for the moment is to edit the background pic and draw an opaque box where the info is displayed.
I think it looks quite cool! It does take a bit of messing around (trial and error) to get it in the right place, and I still have to add a few more (date/alarm)... work is quite busy atm so I dont really have the time!
If I do find another way, I will post it here.
As I said, the only problem for this workaround is that in all other tabs, the background will apear with the boxes from the HOME tab.
I wonder if it is a way of having different wallpapers for each tab.
Must search that.
LE: Found that: Change wallpapers. It gives a solution how to have a different background picture for the rest of the tabs.
so simple
go to settings > home screne > scroll to color scheme & select > scroll to : text: black" then select done
Hi...for the past few days i've been through a lot of threads trying to figure out stuff like changing font color, color of notification bubble etc...without much luck. So detailing my problem here...plz see if you can help.
I started out with the cra**y vodafone theme on my TP2. The two biggest problems: the horrible red slider and the black font due to which i can only use light colored backgrounds.
To get rid of the first problem, I installed ohyeahar's color TF3d with no top/bottom curtains which works great but still the first part of the problem remains.
Also as you can see in the screenshot, the highlight bars in people and mail tabs are the same red (with black text) but the text color in the slider is white (see the mail notification bubble). So, is there a way i can:
1. Change the font color on all tabs to white?
2. Get rid of all the red?
Can it be done through registry editing (are there image files i can replace) or would it require a manila editor?
I used the Back to Black CAB which gives you a nice standard Black Manila.
THEN you can install any number of Themes with no further problem.
Download:-
http://www.4shared.com/file/10933096...3DIIBlack.html
Before installing it copy the "2330fc3c_manila" file from the windows directory and put it back after installation (otherwise your city names will be in French).
When installing DO NOT let your screen turn off and it takes about 20 mins to finish.
