[new release] VJBaseHue

Guys n Gals,
I've knocked together a small program further to ZeBoxx's request.
It's used to set the colour of the soft keys etc, by command line/shortcuts/launchers.
eg VJBaseHue.exe 187
will give you a nice purple colour

really a cool proggy
I am currently testing code by code...I've tried to key in 3 different conbination code...doesn't seem to work though... now am testing the color coding.

Zack, I don't understand. You mean you're trying to find the right hue code by code? The colour wheel on my website might help you, or basically load up any art program, screengrab your theme, and use the colour picker to find the colour your want. Even the standard Windows Colour Picker in MSPaint will show the hue you need.
Post some screenshots in your VGA themes thread if you have any luck :wink:

I think I got it now :wink:
guess I must be dreaming lol.I was looking for dark blue and not realise that hue does not come with such colors lol...
Thanks Vijay am doing some minor test wiht my themes I'll post some screen shots soon :wink:

I was looking at VJBaseHue trying to figure out how to get the two bars 100% black (still no luck) when I found something else. Modifying the SHColor value has an effect on the tray above the soft keys. Normally it is an ugly line across the today screen that forces up the scroll bar at the same time, the icons like wirelles use the space. After randomly modifying SHColor the line dissapeared and so did the scroll bar. Also the icons moved down and to the right to be in the corner taking up less space. It seems strange that a colour setting can change the whole layout of the today screen, do yo know the reason for this VJ?

I don't know offhand Odeean, I imagine it might be some kinda buffer overflow etc..
Let me know what values you use, and if I ever get the WinMob source in my hands, I'll have a look!
V

Don't worry, I can't copy/paste from my reg editors and the value is too long to be bothered reading and typing I also have not been able to repeat what happened, I only now seem to be able to make it do the opposite. When I have no tray, modifing it brings it back.

Start Button/Taskbar/NavBar Color?

does anybody know how to:
1) disable/change the gradient color of navbar
2) disable/change the gradient the start button when pressed
??
I've been messing with both Microsoft\Color\SHColor & GWE\SysColor but still couldnt find anything that'd affect the white gradient

umm,... what?!?!
The app i linked is for phones with touch screens..
the app i linked can be used to change colors of about anything of the windows os.

i still couldnt disable the white gradient that appears when start/soft key is pressed. This is WM6 I am using btw

Did you use the App i linked?
i use it and i have wm6 as well..
you can change about anything with this...

oh yes Ive tested it. It's basically what I've been playing with in syscolor, only difference being it is easier to edit in uitweak as I don't have to find the hex in syscolor blob. It still doesnt do what I want
I want to get rid of the following white gradient....it might even be a bitmap overlay...:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Also, I'd love to get rid of the start button text, as well as app titles on the task/navbar. So far I haven't found any solution in system level. I know this can be done in the code level.

some questions about home customization

1) Is it possible to change date position? I would move it to the same bar of operator logo? (as the arrow indicates)
{
"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"
}
2) is it possible to change the colour of this 2 windows mobile bars? It would be great to make them transparent
3) can I change the default operator logo
with a much colored one like this one on this pic? (yes I know is an iphone screencap )

same here. i think the date looks better at the top left as it was on the diamond. unfortunately, i have no idea how to change this though.

You can change the clock using cabs that were made for the Diamond, not sure about any of the other things. Maybe it's possible to edit some of the manila files.

Where did you get the cab for the transparent clock?

you cannot make the wm bars tranasparant that i have seen. You can change their color my using a theme in WM (not to be confused with a theme in the TF3D app).

I've the same question's
now is it possible?

sorry for thread diggig, any solutions yet? i'm figuring how to move the date up

Changing Operator Logo.
Steps to change Operator Logo:
1.Find 256x64.png file in your windows folder and edit it with your own logo.
2.Replace the original file with the modified one (Use Resco File Explorer).
3.Restart.
Find the attached image, i changed my STARHUB logo to my name.

Would really like to know how to move the date too!! Its much better up the top!

Hi shamsul,
but I can't found that "256x64.png" file.......

THX my German Vario V has now real Clock and not that stupid oem **** lol

danke dir nachbar

Well! work great on my TP2. thanks!
Looks better now :>

Can you post a link for your manila see through theme ?

Well, I think the "see through theme" may not look good, cos the clock will be missing the colon ":" ... eg: you will see "13 00" instead "13:00".

Btw, here is my screenshot., on my TP2

Adding custom Background Wallpaper

Guys i am trying to add Background Wallpaper on Home screen! No luck atm..
Anyone want's to suggest anything?????
My idea is very basic and easy though, it's like adding a Desktop wallpaper on you Windows XP/Vista/7 via the registry method!
which basically is string -> c:\documents\blablabla\customimage.jpg
On windows phone more probably would be like this
I got the tweak base that you make the black background to silver and added this path but nothing!
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Themes\1]
"ChromeColor" value= documents\blablabla\customimage.jpg
What is the value though???? String?? value?? dword maybe???
I will try to create one on PC and deploy it to my phone and see...hmmm!!!
Tell me your thoughts!
*snip* MY REGISTRY EDITOR DOESN'T OPEN ANYMORE....LESSON..DON'T MESS WITH THE REGISTRY! LOL! WILL TRY TO INSTALL IT AGAIN WHEN I GO HOME!
MOD EDIT: Profanity removed...please mind the language

Reason why it doesn't work is cause it's most likely relocked itself. Unlock it again and it should work....

It's covered in tiles, what would be the point?

The point is tha MS disables Background wallpapers and i want to enable them because i want to and it's nice i guess!
".....We’re not so sure on this one. Some of the text labels are different from what we saw at the MWC unveiling, and Microsoft seemed to indicate that background wallpapers, as seen here, would probably not be allowed...."
