WM6 true black glossy theme?

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.

(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.

[THE]Timbermill Themes & Pieces

As time allows, I'll be adding more
To start off, here's a manila edit with a mini slider and tranparent backgrounds, so that you can see more of your wallpaper.
This version has an Indiana Jones theme using the offical icons from the iconfactory (plus others)

(based on the Chunghwa manila files and .tsk)
EDIT: The .theme didn't work too well, problems with images resizing. When I've added some more changes I'll update this post with a full theme file cab.
For now please install it manually, just turn off TF3D and extract the indianila.zip file to Windows, then turn TF3D back on.

Excuse for my English but how to make back фот not the main window is more light?

I'll post some different colours for the tab backgrounds very soon
If you need the ppc .tsk for the chunghwa theme it is attached.
I'm playing about with the transparent clock backgrounds at the moment (files attached)
EDIT: will add the number set later. DONE .pngs for manila edits.
The Fedora.ttf numbers are all placed above the 'fold' line so they appear to flip down from their baseline.
I think it's a nice effect but isn't really suitable for thin fonts.
Allows you to make more use of the clock backgrounds for graphics (examples will follow).
A full Indiana theme isn't far off now, still playing with this and others

So where can we download it?

thank you will try it

The best theme for Diamond IMHO.
But dark font color is not readable on black default background in manila's pages and some home wallpapers. Seems it needs to change font color or change background. Please solve how can I change it?

Very nice work bro....many many thanks from the Greece

It's been a long time
Just flashed the Gen.Y ROM and now catching up on a year of manila mods
Many thanks to all the XDA contributors.

That's doesn't appear the same clock. When I installed it it changed the icons and text for Call History and Calendar to the same dark gray as the clock. Also, the clock in the link posted by The-Kevster seems to be a lot darker - almost, but not quite, black, whereas the one in your link appears (to my eyes at least) to be lighter.
Unless I'm doing something wrong...

I have a rom for you with that clock. It is the latest pdaviet rom for the diamond. If you need it let me know. It is superfastttt. WIth no major bugs.

i don't remember where from i got it so i uploaded it for you here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/164026938/tnyynt_Manila_Black_Clock.cab
enjoy!

Its called Holy Clock... disable TF3D(start>settings>today>itemstab), install the cab file, then enable TF3D again

The problem I've got with these clocks is that whereas the normal white Manila clock has a nice graduated background, every black version I have tried has a background which is very blocky (it looks as though the backgrounds to the numbers are very highly compressed jpg's).
Is there a version of the black clock available where the background to the numbers isn't blocky?
EDIT*** OK, on further investigation I can see that what most people appear to have done when creating the black clocks is take the white background and basically turn it in to a negative image. I have just tried this myself and the result is just as blocky, so it's simply a case of this blockiness not showing up very much on the white versions. On the black versions it sticks out like a sore thumb. Basically in order to smooth it out the background will need to be completely redrawn. I have neither the skills or the patience to do this.

I've found the clock that I'm after, and it is the clock that is in the White Manila Theme. The clock background appears to be much smoother when I apply this to my phone, instead of using some of the other black clocks that I've tried.
Here is a screenshot to better explain what I'm talking about. The image has been uploaded as an uncompressed .bmp
The clock on the left is the one you posted, and the one on the right is from the White theme. Both pictures have been brightened up a bit (each by the same amount) to better show what I mean:

}
I know people will probably claim that the one on the right is blocky also, but when it is at its correct brightness it doesn't stand out as much and appears a lot smoother to my eyes.
How do I go about extracting this clock from the White theme to be used on the standard Black Manila theme?

Really nice theme. Thanks for all your work.

hey awesome theme!
im having some issues with the taskbar, its not working correctly on my phone. i had the same exact set of taskbar icons installed but they were color not black and white. i hard reset just to clear my phone out however its installing the wrong icons, can anyone help?

looks nice

Great work, was searching for a taskbar like that...
Just one thing. When Diamond connects to HDSPA the icon displayed is the original one (3 bars with a red H), perhaps this also occurs for 3G.
Could you please provide a cab with those icons also changed to gray-black.
THANKS

Thanks a lot for the "prét-à-porter" taskbar. Very usefull and beautiful.
[edit]: lovely new "vane", a grey square one.

[THM] NXE (New Xbox Experience) Theme With Bootscreen!

Canceled!
Ages ago actually:s First my Diamond died, then i got my hands on a Hero, and now as my sig. shows i have e Desire HD
Here it is!
The NXE theme for TF3D
The theme is based on the original New Xbox Experience and i've taken all my inspiration from it.
It only got icons for some tabs since i dont use all of them.
The tabs included are: Home, People, Messages, Camera, Music, Settings and Favourites.
Maybe I'll include some more on my next release (requests?)
This is not my final version, Because I'm not completly satisfied with it myself and i want to hear your opinions on it so far.
It comes with Panorama background (and Bootscreen with the original Xbox start up sound!: optional)
I have now tested this on 3 different diamonds and it works perfectly on all of them.
If you want to change theme:
Remove your current one, soft-reset and install the new one!
Hit OK and your Diamond resets again
NXE Theme v1.1

NXE Theme v1.2
NXE Theme v1.3 (Added Weather icons to v1.3.1/Black BG in v1.3.2)
Bootscreen:
I've added the .gif and .wav now=)
They are in the Attached NXE Bootscreen.zip
Upcoming: First i plan to make a Forza 3 Theme and if that turns out good i'll make a Win7 Theme.
Yes I know there are someWin7 Themes but I have an idea of how i would like it to.
But as metioned I'l go for the FM3 Theme first=)​

*Reserved*
I have created a NXE spashscreen=)
I'm not sure how it will turn out, 'cause i had an other "non-stock" splash before so it looked kinda weird.
But i know it works.
And i still need feedbacks.
Spash:

screenshots please?
EDIT:: if you use windows 7 or vista, go to the search / run box in the start menu and type without quotes "snip" and press enter. this will load a screen capture APP.

i have now added a theme preview=)

DUMP!
I'm sure there must be some Xbox fans out there!

help
kk so i installed the bootscreen but it doesnt show

It worked for me the first time:/
If you are using Diamond Tweak "startup animation" must be enabled.
I will look into it as soon as i can=)
Edit: I've tested it again on my Diamond and it worked perfectly fine.
The only thing i can come up with is that i post the .GIF and .WAV so that you can copy them to your Windows directory with total commander.
I will post those files when i get home later to day=)

looks awesome mate! thanks

Thank you Brav0=)

can you make a version where the green background behind the icon is transparent instead (so no background just icons?) i think that would look even better!

What do you mean exactly?
Witch version of the theme would you like that to be?
I will look into on the 1.3 theme later today=)
Now its been done. Transparent made it black th0..

looks great! now...you must port to sense 2.5
I want to see what your Windows 7 theme looks like!
