Dissappearing dialer skin after changing today skin - Wing, P4350 General

I have a dutch HTC P4350 and I hate the green today theme.
But when I change the today theme, the device asks for a soft reser and when its again up and running the dailer skin has disappeared.
I only have grey buttons which are ugly (imho).
Has anybody this problem?
Can it be fixed?
I was thinking that the problem is a invalid link in the registry to the default dailer theme because when I restore the original htc green today theme, also the dailer is restored (after a soft reset.)
Can someone help me???
Thanx!

No one has this problem??
Than I think I wil send my 4350 back to HTC for repair....
Too Bad

I have this problem also. I have tried two hard resets and nothing works.

Can't say I've ever used the skin, so don't know what it's doing, but the long way around might be to get the .tsk file (the theme) and decompile it with WinCE Cab manager to see what registry settings it's changing.
Then just ensure that those registry keys stay as they should after changing the theme.

hm .. the same problem ... ((((

Hmm, decompiling the tsk file, seems to be difficult.
I spoke to HTC support, but they don't know the problem exist.
Think it's a bug in the rom or ext rom because I have no problem with my HTC P3600.

try this
On my HTC Herald (p4350) the Smart Dialer Application skin has a light gray background and the text (caller/callee, elapsed time, etc.) is in white and therefore barely readable.
I changed the following key
HKLM/Software/HTC/?PhoneCanvas/Task0
in that I changed the value of the REG_DWORDs
DIALER/portrait/text:textColor
DIALER/landscape/text:textColor
from their default value FFFFFF (hex) to 000000 (hex). That changed the color of the text from white to black in both orientation modes (after soft reset).

I tried it on my brand new device and dont have this problem. I changed to the standard windows theme and I got a grey dialerskin (with smart dialing working)

Smart Dialing
I had a problem with the HTC Dialler skin disabling the smart dialling. After reading many forums i gave up on trying to get that particular skin working and opted for one of these http://www.zombienexus.net/portal/GH_ShowArticle.asp?HID=35&CATID=1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12 The black skin is a little too black for my liking and was overriding the "HTC new theme". I just changed to another theme and back again and hey presto, colour scheme as I wanted it AND my smart dialler working. Haven't looked at the memory usage yet but seems to work fine after the initial wait on first use.

reset phone pad skin to default

Hello I have a T-Mobile MDA Pro. It has a very ugly theme, fortunately it is possible to change it back to windows mobile 5 defaults. Only the phone pad and the contactlist still show up in this ugly pinkt t-mobile look. How can I change that back to default wm5 too ?
i have sucessfully managed to reset the phone pad to the wm5 default skin via the registry. But the contact list as well as the call chortcuts are still in the tmobile look and feel. Also the phonepad has an ugly tmobile logo in the top right corner (With ugly white border). What can I do ?
Care to share the registry changes you made?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Registry
while the above apprach resets the fullscreen phnepad to default, the popup phone pad (the one in the lower that can be used instead of the software keyboard) is STILL in the ugly T-Mobile look. How can I set that one to wm5 default too ?

Menu titles are invisible but working

The programs coming from earlier WM versions are fully functional but the menu titles in the bottom bar do not show off.
However when you click on them , the menu appears.(See VisualGPSce for example).
I have tried to change the resolution but the problem remains.
I have not found this problem listed in the forums but I know that it is common as I have seen such programs with a blank bottom bar in some tests.
Any idea ? Thanks !
Yep I got that too. Was a bit worried at first but I think there's a registry key somewhere that can be altered. Just can't remember where!! However if I do remember i'll post it (or possibly someone else will remember before I do...)
It's not a problem as long as I can remember what menu option is where....
>Replying in english, because my school german sucks
>This is an issue with the Today screen theme 'Xperia black', not Total >Commander CE. You have the problem in all programs using standard WM >menus.
>If you try another theme, the menu text appears.

This is what I have seen on this matter in the Total Commader Forum.
I would be happy if you could remeber the tweak ...

Menu titles
Use Raiisak´s Flatbar Black cab when you use Xperia black theme like me and don´t forget rename xperia black theme to defaul.tsk and activate default.tsk in settings today... work fine for me... old trick from my old Hermes time
Thanks ! Just changed the Today theme to default Windows and it works :text now shows !
I just cheated with mine - did a registry edit on the Xperia Black theme!
HKCU\\Software\Microsoft\Today\XPERIA Black.tsk
changed the value in "Color_CommandbarText" to 55,55,55,00
Bit of a "fiddle" but it works fine for what I needed! I may try 77,77,77,00 and see if that's still useable
you have to reset the device as soon as you've updated the value or it doesn't appear to want to stick.....

Problem with Volumeoverlay

I am experiencing a rather frustrating problem here. When I change the volume in HTC's audiomanager, it appears a grey column on the left side of the screen (see pic) instead of the green overlay in the middle of the screen as it should be.
What is the problem here and how can I solve this? IMHO, there is a PNG missing. But where do I find that PNG and where should that be stored on my device?
I just found another user with the same problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5028797&postcount=192
It seems that by installing A_Brians WM6.5 Taskbar gfreek edition, I did change HTCVolumeControl.dll.
I will try to change it back to the original DLL.
OK, I have reinstalled the original DLL from the ROM using SKTools, after changing HKLM\Software\HTC\VolumeOverlay\OverlayUI from 0 to 1 the grey column has disappeared, but the overlay stays also disapeared.
I'm having the same problem. I think it has something to do with the custom taskbar you have installed. I installed a custom taskbar myself and it caused my music volume graphic to disappear too. I beleive it has something to do with HTCVolumeControl.dll which has been changed. I re-installed it but it made no difference. If anyone has a solution to this, it would be much appreciated.
Happy New Year!!
*EDIT* Snap! It looks like you found the problem at exactly the same time I posted this. Spooky!!!! If you find a solution to the problem, please post it here. Thanks.
Well I simply gave up after long horus of REG tweaking and changing files from the ROM and from the internet to get it back.
I hard resetted the Phone yesterday and voila, the volume overlay is back. It's an awfully dirty procedure, because I spent half of the night and a few hours today to get all Programs and Settings back. Unfortunately I had only backed up the whole system (including that overlay problem), so the backup was not very helpful at all.
I remember reading, I think its to do with that taskbar you have installed, I had it and had the same problem, now I dont (hard resetted) and my music bar is sorted
I uninstalled the taskbar. No change.
Then I tried to get HTCVolumeControl.DLL back from ROM, no change.
I treid to install a HTCVolumeControl.DLL from the Internet, no change. Well, there was a change here. I had WM Volume control suddenly. You know, the black and white control bars at the top right corner we all remeber from WM5.
Then I gave up.

Original HTC Dialer .CAB file... OR glitch patch?

For starters: I have the T-Mobile USA HD2.
I installed the DJC BLACK/BLUE dialer, it caused the extended bar issue in the screen shot. Then, I simply uninstalled the dialer, soft reset... and then the issue was present on the default HTC dialer. Also, some of the black shading remained from the BLACK/BLUE dialer on the default HTC dialer, basically corrupting the standard dialer altogether.
So, then I figured that I'd try to install the WM6.5 version of that dialer -- considering it was reported that it was working on WM6.5 without issues... well, it works in landscape, the colors are correct, and everything seems fine; HOWEVER, as you can see by the screen shot, the overlapped (TALL) bar still branches out from the base of the dialer.
IS THERE A FIX FOR THIS? A REGISTRY EDIT? SOMETHING THAT COULD PERHAPS REMOVE THAT BAR OR MAKE IT STANDARD SIZE AGAIN? DOES ANYONE HAVE THE .CAB FILE FOR THE ORIGINAL HTC DIALER? Thanks in advance...
Hi !
Did you check your registry for the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PhoneCanvas\LargeBtn and check if the value bLargeBtnLayout is 0 or 1 ?
Not sure it has any effect anyway ; I'm trying to remember where its position is defined (it has been a frequent bug on WM6.5.x cooked ROMs - the opposite problem from yours, but still annoying).
The icons names are Dialer_Contact_down.png and Dialer_Contact_up.png, but their design isn't the problem : they're always rather small and the phone software (and/or registry settings) are responsible for their bad centering.
