I've installed a few apps and all went well until I noticed bars going across the screen when I go into texts and tasks other other similar windows. Does anyone know what this is from? Is it possible to get a virus on your PPC? I've got an HTC PPC6800/Mogul, if that helps.
Any ideas? The bars are the same color as whatever theme I've got applied, maybe that'll make some sense.
*UPDATE*
It's ONLY 'Tasks', 'Text Messages' and 'E-Mail' that's affected by the lines across the screen. They're horizontal lines running right through the text and it makes it pretty hard to read. Also, if I apply the stock skins (Windows Mobile Green & Windows Default) there are no lines at all and everything works like it should. Why are the custom themes not showing up like they should in those three windows?
LOL...i've seen that before...it's caused by the theme...i've made myself some before awhile back and i have the 6800 as well...it's because whoever made the theme that you were using made the background of the task,notes, etc...a color instead of plain white.....no worries...you can actually use themegence to open up the theme and modify it so that the task,notes,etc are white and then you wont see that problem

Hey guys I downloaded a theme to my phone but i do not like the portrait picture. How do i just change that picture to something else? Thanks!
SEARCH/READ THE USER'S MANUAL!!!! But, if you hold your stylus down on the picture you want as a background, you'll see the little circle things, then a list of options, like right clicking on a mouse, select set as desktop background. Then select how washed out you want it, and select ok. There, that was your freebie. Use Wiki and search the forum from now on.
no i want to change just the portrait picture. only when i slide my slider. i know how to do that. i remember seeing a deal about that now i cant find it.
I'm pretty sure there's no way to change JUST the portait picture. You mean like having 2 seperate desktop pitures with one to display in landscape, and the other in portrait, right?
Yeah. But I found a way of doing. Just a little more work than I intended. Thanks!
HEY! this is give and take here... So spill the beans, how did you do it?
Yeah! this I gotta know about. You may have found a secret no one knows. The other question is: how can you re-size a pic so that when it is used as a desktop background, it only uses a portion of the screen and doesn't obscure say the whole "black theme" in use?
I'll let you guys know as soon as i get it done. Haven't even tried yet. Been playing around with different ROMs to see which I like better. So far I'm diggin the Touch-It Light.

if you want to change picure ionly in portrait mode, bud not landscape, you must force edit the Theme you want.... or, ... maybe if it is multiple images theme, just replace one of them, but most are 1 file, .... in that case you have no chance without any program..
Google search for ThemeGenCE. It works like a charm and allows one to change the portrait (slide closed) and landscape (slide open) to different pics. it will also change almost all of the colors. I'll try to post a screen shot of the Halo3 theme I built with it. I've built about 12 different .tsk files with it so far and all of them turned out pretty well. It will also let you import an existing theme and modify it. I used the black touch skin and applied my own pics.
It automatically resizes pics to fit the screen...
Yeah. That's what I was gonna play with but never had the chance. I forgot what the prog was that's why I never bothered. Thanks!!
the gloss from WM6 doesn't show up when you make a theme using ThemeGenCE?
The gloss???
wow thats nice....this will work with the wing correct???
Yes... I'm currently running it on a wing. I'm having some issues getting the color fades on the start bar to work. It has to do with the WM5 tab but the descriptions are a bit cryptic as to what fields they actually represent. So I built one with a LOT of really out there colors to see what field effects what part of the screen. If you don't use the stuff on the WM5 tab then it will just be solid colors. The Halo3 one wound up just being green instead of the orange/green fade at the top. That screenshot is from the previewer in the program not what actually wound up on the phone.

Probably a stupid question but what were the size image options you put in? In the options it asks about the size of the screen & the size of the start menu

Okay, I was able to get what i want by using HHC Today Customizer, The only problem im having is on the today screen theres a thin grey line splitting up icons like on the main screen.. The email, sms, and missed call icons are devided by a thin grey line. this same grey line devides up icons in the other sections of my today screen as well. How do i get rid of it?
Also does anyone know how to change the buttons on the bottem, I think their called softkeys. Theirs two of them, Mine say calendar and contacts.
once again a search would suffice ur needs...to my knowledge...theres no way of getting rid of those separator lines...theres things u can do to change the colour of it to best match your walpaper...and please search...on how to change your softkeys...a search for advancedconfig will solve your problem

That has something to do with the theme you're using.
Thanks. That was the problem.
This happended to me. I have the Touch Dual. It started when i got the pop ups saying Error shell32. Did a hard reset and they werent there
Its supose to do like that. The theme you are using is multicolored, On one side its one color and the other side its another color. The same thing happend to me when I used the Orange 2 Black theme. Then orange lines appeared, Cause one side was orange and one was black
Having used Manilla2d for a few weeks now I have decided I like it and would like to make the rest of my WM6 look the same. So I have a few questions.
1. Is there a tsk for the flat blue o2 xda ignito, or a way to make a flat black tsk have a blue highlight color. Or any way to make flat colored themes at all. I have used some of the the theme editors, but have not been able to get flat colors to work for the taskbar and the softkey bar. This is probably due to my own incompetence. Currently I am using UI tweaker, but I would like to minimize the number of programs I am using since M2d takes up so much space.
2. Can the opal task manager that comes with manilla2d be skinned? If so, since I have no idea how to do it, is it possible to have the background be the manilla2d blue background, with a blue highlight color?
3. I am also using the opal comm manager. The one with the white background with blue slider bars. I am being anal now, but I was wondering if you can change the text under the slider bars from ON OFF to On Off. This has been bothering me.
4. Can the full screen player have a green or blue progress bar rather than a red one?
I will include the versions I am using. Thanks for sticking with me, I am getting pretty ridiculous.
Thanks

Well i just got done watching some House. Hopefully this will be on the front page long enough for the right people to read it. I will check back tomorrow.
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
