Magic Button change background?

I'm using Magic Button and it's realy great! There is just one thing I don't realy like about the programma and that's that it uses the "selection color" of the current theme as background color. It seems to me that way anyway.
Does anybody know how to adjust this?
I included two screenshots to show what I mean exactly:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I did contact the programmer so if he/she helpes me out I will let you people know!

I don't really have an answer and haven't seen what the result will be with other programs, but I found a set of tweaks at vicsoft (http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/uitweaker.shtml). UITweaker Suite. Loading the system changer, you can then change the System bar active and sytem bar inactive colors. They will still have a slight fade, which you can see in the second image, but it's better than being bright blue, grey or red! Hope this helps. I just found this ap today, and haven't used it to finish modifiying the theme and the colors, but this is the closest I've gotten.

Thats why I remove MagicButton and install Vieka vBar.

Thanks for the tips! With vBar I still have the blue square on the right side.
I'm now checking out that UITweaker

Sounds like we have all been bouncing back and forth between vbar and magic button for hte same reasons! :mrgreen:
I also managed to edit some bmps for use with vbar that allowed them to match my screen. I never got the size exactly right, as the button seemed to overlap the faded bar between the top bar and the today screen. But it is possible to do.
There are things i like about both aps. I like seeing the icons across the top in MB, but sometimes I like the list in Vbar. I guess there is still room for the perfect ap!

I'm currently using vBar with a black BMP at the background... ..the best solution so far.. ..still not perfect though

Hi deecee52
Could you please tell me which collors exactlu must be changed?
I Installed the UITweak 0.4 and I have 4 tools: PT Explorer, TdyScheme Changer, SysColor Changer and WM5Color Changer.
Where can I change the SystemBar color?
I attached a screenshot of my screen.
Thanks for your help

Are you guys using Magic Button 2.0? I tried three different themes and don't see any problems. I will have to try the black theme next.

I'm using pBar now. No problems so far and it's also freeware!
@Kelu
Open tDySchemeChanger -> Windows Mobile 5.0
Here you can set the color for the taskbar

This is the key that will change that color
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\SysColor\ COLOR_ACTIVECAPTION
for black 00 00 00 00 but it will be slightly gray for some reason.
see here http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/PPCColorConfig.asp

For some reason when Magic Button was written, they didn't u se transparent backgrouns behind the icons. Now this might've been a limitation to the system... But either way, TranaCreative software appears to have gone stale as it hasn't been updated in over a year. With out the source code for it, we're sort of up the perverbial brown creek.
This is a shame because Magic Button is the best at what it does and no other app comes close to matching or beating it's features.

The problem is, that Magic Button can´t show a black taskbar-backround. Diamond & Touch HD has a plain black taskbar under WM6 without 3d-effect, but Magic Button makes the backround of the icons and the closing-button grey with 3d-effect!
Is there a way with the registry to tell Magic Button making a BLACK backgroud?
nick

I took wkTask and it works perfectly - and with black backgorund.
I want not to say it, but: Its better than MagicButton!

Post your Todayscreen!

Everyforum has it - why shouldn´t have it either...

Today CommManager (skin BatteryStatus)

Hi,
Here's the last skin I made for BatteryStatus.
It's designed to be only a "Today CommManager", like Effcomm, but more graphical.
DiamondWSwitch

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

}
Features :
- toggle BT, WiFi and phone
- hold 1 second to have a little menu appear to select options concerning the item
Install :
- install batterystatus advanced (http://www.chi-tai.info/download/BatteryStatusExt.1.05.CAB)
- copy the dir and the XML file from the zip to \Windows\BatteryStatus
- change the theme in the options of BatteryStatus (Advanced Tab)
I also put the "older" version :
WirelessSwitch
Same features, same install, different look.
Tested on a Kaiser with stock ROM.
Enjoy

cool , super ton idée ton skin ..
it beautifull, great idée ;D

Very nice, looks great and works well. Great for people like me who are too lazy to open the real comm manager.

Cool, thanks!

just a question : what is the calendar plugin you use on the today in the DiamondWSwitch picture ?
I try to find something that will just display enough calendar info without scrolling bar on the right.
thanks

Bug feedback
Hi,
I'm using the Wireless Today Switch, which I think is fantastic, so thank you for the effort that went into making it. I have disabled the background by removing the line in the xml and the background png. I think it is line three. Anyway, one think I have noticed is that when you press and hold the phone button, whether the phone is on or not, the bottom option in the context menu is always "Turn off phone". The functionality works, i.e. it does switch the phone on when it's off, but the text is wrong. I'll have a look at it later myself but do you know an easy solution to this? I'll post the no background edit with a screen shot later today.
Cheers,
andrew-in-woking

The single thing I did is the XML and the graphics, the other functions are Batterystatus's. So is this little bug

It's TodayAgenda. The great thing with this plugin, is that you can set a fix size... Set it to 62 and it's perfect

Screen shots & no background
Hi,
I've attached the edited skin with no background with a general screen shot and one of the menu error.

Did you download the advanced version of Batterystatus ? (just click the link on the first post)

iPhone Theme/No WiFi (Perfect for HTC Touch)
Sorry for resurrecting such an old thread, but this seemed as appropriate a place as any to post this.
Though skinning and such is not my usual forte, I put enough work into this that it's only fair to share. This app was exactly what I was looking for when I decided I wanted a bluetooth on/off switch on my today screen... but, I really wanted it to match my iPhone icons. The result is attached. I've eliminated the wifi toggle since my HTC Touch has no wifi.

Get rid of lines in today screen

I'm try ingto create a totally black today screen.
But whatever i do, i can't get rid of the grey lines as shown in the pic below.
I use ThemeGenCE and UI tweaker.
Thanks in advance!

Launch UI Tweaker, and then launch the TdyScheme Changer.
Click Standard Colors.
Scroll down and select "Today Screen Horizontal Bar"
Click on the dark grey box above the text.
Change the RGB settings to 0,0,0
Click Ok
Click Ok again.
Exit and close UI Tweaker.
Bob's Your Uncle.
Note: the lines on the taskbar and the softkey bar may not change, they are (I think) part of the .tsk file and would have to be changed there.

Also, the gray lines in the HTC plugin are part of that plugin, not driven by the theme, so you'd have to edit the theme for that plugin, not the today settings.

Thanks for your reply, but that's what i've already tried , I forgot to mention it.
I think i changed every option in UI Tweaker....
Does anyone know how to change the .tsk file, with ThemeGenCE or another app?

Anybody?

Yes, ThemeGenCE can be used to remove crap like that...although I myself dont know how to do it...ahh, I miss the days of the fully changable Windows Mobile 5.0 homescreen...man, you could change ANYTHING about the GUI in WinMo 5!

Anybody who does know how????? I can't figure it out!

Seems to me the only "easy" way to get rid of them is to make a background the same color as the lines (or vice versa), so they will be invisible, at least. That doesn't help you if you were planning on using a textured background, though, eh?

Actually, it looks like once you have a theme imported, you can uncheck the check-box next to "Today Screen horizontal bars" and that should remove them...I've frankly never had much luck with this program, however, so you're really the expert here.
...doesn't help the version I have is about eight iterations behind the current one, either...

No ! you can't get rid of these lines. It is Operating System (OS) dependent.
But you can attenuate them by choosing a color for these lines.

Install: Overwrite all the manilla files from the archive to your Diamond -> Windows folder, go to settings -> today -> items,
uncheck TouchFLO 3D -> ok and then re enable TouchFLO 3D plugin. Or you can just softreset after replacing manila files.
Do you like it? What should i improve/change?
PS: Sushilange an DMAN666, thanks a lot for this great software (Manila Editor).

what can i say, its very very black
I won't test it (to black for me )
(Ps, had je gaatjes?)

Just what I wanted to me, the original skin is a little too light, with the white in the clock and all, so this is just perfect...
reg install ; you don't have to install any config-thing ? It's just overwrite the graphic-files and soft-reset or ?

yes, just overwrite the manila files in windows folder and soft reset OR disable then enable the TouchFLO 3D plugin in settings -> Today.

Very nice. But I have some problems. When I try to overwrite it says "03092c92_manila" cannot be copied. Please check that there is enough memory and that the destination isnt copy-protected.
