WM6 Themes?

Do the themes used for WM5 work on WM6?
I love the black theme on my WM5......
How to make a new theme for WM6?
thanks
Scott

Yeah, I got a dark gray theme for WM5 and I'd love to have one like it.
I'd love to have a dark gray version of the default WM6 theme with nothing else changed. The phonepad skin I'd love to keep since it's already the color I need it.
Can anyone show us the way?

Any .tsk theme will work on WM6 as far i know...
I've got some dating back to my WM2003SE device, and they're all running fine under WM6 with the nice see-through-glass look added to the top and bottom bars (assuming the right themebasecolor) ...

Cool. Thanks for the tip.

Black Theme
I've been using a black today screen and a black dialer for a while, and the attached are my favorite set.
To use the ClassicBlack Today Screen, CHANGE THE EXTENSION from .doc to .tsk and then drop it in My Documents. Then you can select it from Settings/Today.
The ZPV dialer includes a Video Call button.
It all works great with both of the latest WM6 ROMs.

The ClassicBlack Today screen is from: http://www.ppcsg.com/mobile/index.php/t31647-260.html (xda-developers link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=259932&page=3&highlight=classicblack)
The ZPV_Carbon_BlackExtra Dialer skin is from http://www.zombienexus.net/portal
Enjoy.

Did you try the one I posted above? It's jet-black here.
You may need to reboot after installation.

yes i tried.... that's the black i wanna...but i'm searching it with wm6 style bars

[SEARCH] gray, white, silver Skin

Hi,
I'm looking for a gray, whit oder silver skin.
The Problem is, to get the font black I think.
I found only on skin. the SPB silver Unitheme. Is there an other light skin?
I think I will can read better at sun.
Thanx for your help.
Gb4u

have u tried wisbar advance, this will help you skin ur device
http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/products/pocketpc/WisBarAdvance/

I don't know, how this prog should solve my problem with the white font,
Can you explan it? *g*

a skin for WHAT ?????
do you mean a .tsk for windows mobile ??? or for what software

jeah for wm6 the today screen.

this skins for wm6 are ".tsk"-files, google for ".tsk" and just put them in your windows folder of your ppc, then activate the new skin under "today". tsk files can have different colors for your today text.
you can also change today colors with "SKTOOLS" (no freeware).

so is there a way other than wisbar to make your theme white?
always wondered that

http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/extthemegen/?de
with the Spb Extended Theme Generator I think you can change it, too. Its freeware. What thinks the pros?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364541

thats a good prog man !
- Problem will be the top/taskbar, because the most is of it no text, its white graphics ! and white on white=see nothing
or take this one: but i must warn you, its nothing for beginners
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=386378

I am also looking for a white theme. Preferably plain white background and both bars white

I'm also trying to find a white theme, with black text.
It is easy to use a white tsk-file, so that your today screen is white. But then all the others is still different like (comm manager, phone dialer ect).
Is there a white theme - with a white comm mannager, dialer, contact ect?
Thanks

thats not possible, this are all different applications from different software developers.
So u cant change the look for all.

OK then we need to find white progrmas to add like

[THE] [17/09/08] "Black & xColor" by Elvelynn

It's done ...
With the help of gordic, wrather, Seelenfresser, BenThon and all the other thread-readers I made an update of my "Black & Red" and after that I was able to convert it completey to "Black & Blue"
"Black & xColor V2.1"
Until now there's only a Basic-Edition of each color version. The original HTC Black Theme has to be installed on your diamond before you are installing one of my themes.
(Didn't try other themes as base but I think it would look a little bit funny *g*)
So far I tested the theme with Mossis ROM 2.1 (Base-ROM: 1.93.x).
Files:
Basic_Black_xxx_V2_x.zip
All files are in one folder inside the zip-file, so they can be copied to the windows-directory off the reel.
Basic_Black_xxx_V2_x_separated.zip
All files are in separated folders inside the zip-file, so you can choose which files you copy to the windows-dir.
Instruction:
Unpack the *.zip-file you want and read the installation.txt.
(If something is wrong or you need some help please let me know!)
Changelog:
V2_1 [17.09.2008]
- two new color-changed images of the camera
- newer *.tsk-files
I'm not so happy with the calendar-icon, but until now I didn't get a better version of it. Maybe someone else could help to make it more similar to the other icons?

#1
(reserved for further update etc.)

the file is too big ?
try with rapidshare.com
[good work!]

[thanks!]
That's strange because the file isn't bigger than 8MB (that should be the maximum file size of zip-files).
But now I've uploaded it with rapidshare

Very nice work!
Will download....

Does this also change the today screen and other non TouchFlo elements like buttons, captions etc. (globally of course)?

I think it does because I changed also many graphics that have nothing to do with TF3D, for example the Screen if you connect your diamond with USB etc.
And there is also the vodafone.tsk, which makes the "menu marker" red for example.
@NisseDILLIGAF
Thank you!

nice job thanx

Thanks for the theme.
You were faster than me in changing everything green into red. One thing I could not find in your basic zip file was a red highlighted internet globe.
Thanks to the help of NisseDILLIGAF who pointed me in the right direction I was able to change it. Now the theme is perfect!

Win refuses to overwrite the manila-files. Could somebody make from this a real theme-file. The red is amazing color with black.

Theme File
just installed, the red & black looks so cool!
GREAT WORK...thank you

really fine themes, one of the best i tried today
but a few questions:
i made a roll back to my standard theme (with TF3D config 0.6.7) but now i have some graphic problems, e.g. TF-volume is still red instead of original green, also the buttons for choosing between ActiveSync- and external drive-mode if connected to PC. And the (green) button beside the active keyboard, if i want to change half to full or phone etc., is fully lost
Are there any options to get the old status back without a hardreset?
thank you for your answer

ok, ive tried this, but im not satisfied, altough i would love to have a black red theme.
What would make this theme perfect for me is, that it should be exactly as the original touchflo, htc black theme, only where default theme has green colour, it should have red colour, that would be perfect theme for me.
also, i restored default theme, and still i have in volume control red coloured bars, which i can't restore to defaults, which is not ok.
i tried to delete manila files with resco explorer, but says i cant delete files, because they are in the memory. Any suggestion how to do this ?
thank you

Ok, solved it by myself. There is a little bug in TF3D Config-Tool, which forgot to delete three files after choosing a Theme-Restore:
- HTCUSBtoPCPopUp.png
- SIPMenu_SelectIcon.bmp
- HTCVolumeControl.png
After deleting these file and automatic replacement of the original TF-Files by WM (soft-reset!) everything looks ok again

THANKS ! i am happy again
dunno where i saw it, but is there a possibility, to change background on all menus ?

Great theme! Love balck&red
Only issue I have is cannot see the writings in the manilla settings/sound properties, it's only me? something wrong?
Thanks

Black font on black background, got this Prob, too.
If you highlight it with the red "Cursor" you can read it...

Choosing new programs has this small prob also

This fixed all my white font and weird font problems...I am on a Touch Pro though, but it may help you too.
Grey Taskbar
Go to start -> Settings -> Today and select the "Htc black" .tsk
(if it is already selected, choose an other first [e.g.Windows-standard] and switch then back)
Note: Because I still do NOT own a Diamond PRO myself, supporting this Device isn't easy...

the background is much better, but its going to be tough getting rid of my sprint theme.

eehm... Not really the original...
or maybe htc stole my background image squares!!

Hi,
can you post here yours background image. I want it use as today background.
Thank you

sure ...
but u know that it's a manila file... not a wallpaper...
unzip and copy the manila file to windows....

Hi!
Whats your TF3D Config version number what you use with 1.93 ROM??
Thx!

Not suitable for Raphael yet.
Thanks for the good work.
I installed it over my T-Mobile (horrific Pink theme) MDA Vario IV and looks good. Exept for the landscape screen when the keyboard is slided open. Then the orginal icons are not there at all. Perhaps something for the next update. Thanks in advance.

I noticed the same thing on my Voda branded TP. But the black theme looks absolutely brilliant. I am not going back to the original red ever.

I'm trying to modify my theme on the new 1.93 Rom from the US 3G version Diamond... I'm using Total Commander to try to modify the read only permission sets of the Manilla files so I can write over them. However it doesn't seem to be working. Are there other programs available? Trying to update to use NisseDILLIGAF background

you have to disable Touch Flo first, then just copy the manila file to windows using total commander

I've installed this, but the top and bottom bars of the screen are still o2 blue...any help?

Do u have HTC black in Today themes?
I've attached a the HTC Black.tsk, just unzip, copy it to windows and try to activate it in Today...

Thanks,
Seemed all I had to do was select a different theme, then reselect the htc theme......BINGO.... phone looks fantastic. I am now going to see what other things I am incapable of doing. I know that I will have further questions, and that I am a bit of a techno-cretin, but I hope you guys will continue to help. This is a great forum by the way, very helpful indeed.

[REQ] Change Manila TouchFlo3D Highlight color? How?

How can I change the manila touchflo3d highlight color?
Thanks,

Its not mine, just sharing it with you.
Its GREY, have a look how does it look.
Regards
Sid

That's great.
But just a question: the ball with the 6 ... the notification of new sms is still green?
It means that this cab change only the highlight and not the notification ones?

Yes it change only the highlight colour.

Have a look at drsquid's fantastic work over here. The CABs change nearly everything (the only remaining green I found is the one when you plug in the USB cable).
Edit: Just found that editing /windows/HTCUSBToPCPopUp.png gives me a completely green free phone. Nice!

how to get the focus colors actually in place!?
Hi - newbie here!
I have installed several of the highlight-color-change cabs but nothing has changed!
The cabs have run and installed but I've still got the nasty green color highlight.
There's obviously a simple extra step that I'm not aware of - can you help me further?
(Diamond 1 with Touchflo 3D)
Thanks!
