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.

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.

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:

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.

@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!
I some search on google, and googled through the XDA search as well, and cant find a theme that is has white bars. I was pretty surprised, since it seems like a fairly simple thing to do. RC mod will allow me to change the text color, but not the background color, any ideas?

You can make your own theme using ThemeGenCE, which you can find here: http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-themegence-v2-0.html
That'll let you make the task bar and the font whatever colour you want.
Hope that helps!

If you cook this into a ROM, you can edit the files (some are graphics in \Windows others are in shellres.96.dll/shellres.192.dll)
Use WA3 and you can use your own images for the task bar icons.

some issues with those files:

when i try to copy tapres.96.dll and/or outres.96.dll it says access denied

I think it needs to be cooked... There is a shellres.96.dll, it's just hidden (WM won't boot without it as it contains most of the shell images). The MUI file is the US English localization for the device.
Hi Fellas.
For those who want simple bright themes, this might interest you. I initially made this for myself, but decided to un-customize it a little and share it.
Can't think of what to call it, so this is it:
White Gold v1
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Just copy the cab over to diamond and run it. Restart manila to take effect.
It's un-installable.
I would recommend a custom home wallpaper with white bottom so that the theme shall look good. This is because the bottom bar fades out in the home screen, and it depends on what color your wallpaper has for it to look good.

Here's a "serving suggestion"

2nd Today screen, with similar TF3D design, to blend in seamlessly.

It "curses" with the green up and lower case
But I do know that Singapore (and big parts of Asia)are more colorfull
Succes with your future releases. If you change silver-gold tones -icons with each other, I might try this bling-bling theme for sure

As for the appointment plugin, it's called O2plus. It shows you x number of lines of upcoming appointments. It was eventually meant for O2 devices, but ended up being cracked for all devices. I don't want to discuss it here, but if you're interested, pm me.
And remember.. Google is your friend.

OK- got it for the green explanation.
What I meant is that reverting Silver and Gold with each other, would look like a Gold background and silver internal icons. A real bling-bling phone (and I saw that someone is creating silver-gold new icons in another theam thread)
But, style is personal preference hehe...
Dear Mask,

can you please help me 'unflat' those bars? i'm tired of this solid black...
i really tried to figure it out myself!! but this time, i lost the battle - but i think war is not over. come on soldiers, i know you know how to solve my problem

You can't - not with black anyway. The best you can do is grey.
Search for UI Tweaker, RC Mod and ThemeGen CE
yeah, a literally "black gradient" will be solid black anyways - i meant i want everything from the htc black theme, BUT with grey-to-black-gradient no-flat bars.
themegen ce is a thing i've already come across, besides it couldn't load the orig HTC Black.tsk file - i might re-create a black theme with non-flat bars, but (i suppose) this is something someone else around here has already done before. dl link anyone? :-D
though, thank you for your reply - will check UI Tweaker and RC Mod!
well, try this, bro:
Settings -> Today, choose Guava Bubbles theme
regedit, now:
hklm\software\microsoft\color\basehue -> to 160.
it should help.
absolutely marvelous!
thats EXACTLY the kind of tweak i was hoping for.. perfect!
[edit] i'm still amazed.. so simple, so effective. thanks for sharing your wisdom ^^
Also you can use this exe file. place it anywhere on your device and run it.
Enjoy,
dwizzy130
How do you do the regedit? what software do i need? any guides already written?
HAHA its like 20 questions up there!!! ^^^^^^
Thanks
Ok, i got task manager program with a regeditor and i changed that value to 160 but now it is a turquise/green colour! im not sure what is goin on now!
It was decimal that i needed to select. Sometimes im just dumb!!!!! no more pot for me before i decide to play with my phone
Try this:
http://www.ziao.nl/2009/02/release-zifi-vga/
Another one...
You could also try this... it let's you choose any colour you like.
PS. I haven't tried this myself on the Diamond, but I had it on my older devices.
BaseHueExpress would do the trick _after_ selecting guava bubbles theme, to avoid reg editing.. it has no effect on the original htc black.tsk theme, cause the 'flatness' and 'blackness' is kinda hardcoded into this theme. Though its a good app for quickchanging the magical basehue value without manually touching the registry
@ziao
the skin looks very nice, very aesthetic. i dont have wisbar, so it is as beautiful as useless for me ^^ but nice work anyways!

How to change the Bottom Bar Fuctions ?
Original is - Phone (left) & Contacts (right)
I want Camera on my bottom bar on - Left
please
I've almost got my phone 100% the way I want it, more like 99.5%. Last thing I want to change is the slider. I don't really mean the slider and icons. I want the icons to stay the same. Most cabs will modify both slider and icons. Here is my home screen. I'm not sure what the correct nomenclature is, but the area behind my icons is a blueish color. I want to make it a two tone black/grey sort of like the top of the phone. Is it a matter of dropping some sort of image file into the manilla directory overwriting the existing one? Or is it more involved requiring replacing the icons as well? Any info or pointers on what/how I can change this would be much appreciated. I'm sure the info is out there I'm just not plugging in the right search criteria.
If it makes a difference I am running Sense 2.1

I would suggest using the "Remove Both Curtains" cab file. What this should do is make that blue hue clear - you will see the black background of your screen.

It does make a difference . If you are on PPCG, chuckz07 has posted a fix using mode9 edits. Here's the link (I don't think I've posted enough here so I'm stripping the beginning part h t t p)

It doesn't change the icons, just the slider. The files at the beginning of the thread are for the rom you are using where you have the small slider. If you look later on you will find where I have posted a modification that allows for a wider clear slider for those roms that have/need a wider clear slider.

I would suggest using the "Remove Both Curtains" cab file. What this should do is make that blue hue clear - you will see the black background of your screen.
The following URL will show an image of what my 'slider bar' looks like...

Awsome. This finally did the trick. The C07 transparent slider stuff i could never get to work. Also tried the Glass/Metal and the C07 fix and basic. But this one at least made the slider all black so I am happy Tab still has color but I don't mind that at all. Yay no more blue!
