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.

Enjoy.

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

How to change to Black Background / White font in ALL windows??

Hi everyone
I currently use mostly BLACK look:
- slide2unlock2 with black bakground
- all black Today theme (bars & background)
- Black phone dialpad
- Also many other new good programs (with scroll function) have black bakgrounds too:
- iContact 0.3
- OtO 0.45b..etc
- gCalc (calculator)
I like this darker sharp look alot (iPhonish style)
& i was wondering if its possible to tweak the "original" WM6 windows like:
- programs
- settings
- Contacts
- messaging & mail (including outlook)
- Mobile word & excel
to have dark black background (or dark grey?) & pure white font ??
Again, to be clear, I am NOT talking about Today themes or bars....
I do not know if this maybe as simple as finding a registry key? or difficuly as doing each window indivitually?
I hope we can get some help from our programers here
Thank you

Any ideas?
any ideas at all?

Maybe UI Tweaker does this?

UI Tweaker v0.5.4.3 - freeware to tweak theme and system colours

UI Tweaker v0.5.4.3
I found this freeware and originally downloaded it just to get black title bars on themes that came with grey ones. But, it turns out that you can use it to tweak virtually all colour settings on your device.
http://www.freewareppc.com/download/utilities/uitweaker.shtml
OR if that link doesn't work, try here: (Thanks to Corrupted Sanity)
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-...er-v0-5-3.html
If you've never seen it and like changing theme and system colours, i reckon this piece of free kit is worth your investigating. (Alternatively, flash a Manila 2D ROM and use mpenguin's M2DC customiser!)

please refresh the link it's down thaanx

ppc tweaker?
You may look at Vicott Wong's web site for ppc small programs in

Hey folks - BIG THANKS. IUtweaker is exactly what I needed for my minimalist theme.
I was able to change the softkey background very easily with this to white.
Regards, David

I downloaded this app a few days ago and it works really nicely.
One question though is how do I change the background color of my phone contacts and emails?
Somehow I changed the color from white to a grey and white horizontal stripe background. I want to change it back to white.
Hard to figure out what all the descriptions are.
In syscolorchange, I changed "selected item color" which is when I choose a contact or email , the background is blue which is fine.
I want to change the color of the items I don't select.
I don't know what the unselected items are called.

still working (at least SysColor utility) on wm 6.5.5

Tweakman: Needs Original Diamond Wallpaper

Hey guys, Tweak here. I have searched every where possible. Searched for the past 3 hourse, and over a span of 3 days. I have the Alltel diamond. It comes stock with a white TF3D theme, but the background has been changed ( I think).
Instead of the orig diamond background, its solid white. I can not find the background from the orig look. The one that is White, with Grey or Black Squares making up a 3d floor (just like the black one)
I used to have it, but lost it over time. Now the only one I can find is built into themes, and I do not know how to extract these. I do not want to change the whole theme, just to change the background.
SO IF YOU CAN, PLEASE POST THE ORIGINAL WHITE DIMAOND BACKGROUND, WITH THE GREY SQUARES , THAT MAKE UP THE 3D LOOKING FLOOR.
The only one I can find thats not built into a theme is white and blue. So any help is appreciated.

Re : Changing Only the Wallpaper?
For changing wallpaper, click on Setting (the gear icon with a dot in the middle), then click on Wallpaper. From there on, it's self-explanatory. Good luck

I've also searched for this white background, does anybody have it ?
Thx !

here it is

here is the white one, I put the black bar at the bottom because if you don't have it the semi-transparent slider that tf3d comes with will be a weird gray on the home tab

Thank you !
As someone else also posted it on an other thread, I attach it here (without the black bar)

Anyone have the WVGA veriosn from the Touch HD....looking to put one for S2U2
Thanks

isn't the white version of the skin just the inverted version of the black version?
thanks for posting these, anyway

Why does the HTC_black theme is... green?

I'm using the HTC_black theme. IN SBP mobile shell, in TF3D it's looks black as it should, but the today screen has green background.
I am with the original ROM (1.19), and it's annoying, I just want it BLACK.
An ideas how to black that today screen background?
Amir.

In SPB Mobile shell go to settings -> Themes and select "Use a based color theme". Then select the black color

The thing is that I wish to use the black theme on the today screen, SPB mobile shell was just an example.
Still can't get simple black color on my today screen.

HTC Black
Go to Start then setting then click on today. Hope you will see there HTC Black & Windows default. If so select HTC Black press ok and you r done. If HTC Black not avialable you have to search for it.

The point is that the htc black is not black but blue_green. To see it you need to deactivate touchflo 3d.
I would like too a black background.

Exactly!
The theme I currently use is HTC-Black.
On the HTC Diamond when TF3D was disabled, I got simple black today screen. Using the same method even the same file, bringing to different results on the Touch HD.
I even created a simple jpg file using MS Paint, which contains pure & simple black rectangle. Even that doesn't looks black but light Grey.
TF3D does looks completely black, so it's not the screen but some dumb setting somewhere.
Any ideas?

it seems (but i'm guessing) that this issue has something to do with background transparency ? i mean it's like the background picture was "blended" with a totally white layer...

Its the highlighted items that are in green even if you select HTC black.
Try it, open a menu and the send sms or mms will be in green.
Terrible!

Well it's something with the Orange UK (the origin of my device) configuration.
I just installed new ROM, and the problem was gone (others just drop in.... but that's another story )
Amir.

A little off-topic, but can someone post that HTC_Black.tsk file? I recently flashed a new ROM and no longer have it.
