It's done ...
With the help of gordic, wrather, Seelenfresser, BenThon and all the other thread-readers I made an update of my "Black & Red" and after that I was able to convert it completey to "Black & Blue"
"Black & xColor V2.1"
Until now there's only a Basic-Edition of each color version. The original HTC Black Theme has to be installed on your diamond before you are installing one of my themes.
(Didn't try other themes as base but I think it would look a little bit funny *g*)
So far I tested the theme with Mossis ROM 2.1 (Base-ROM: 1.93.x).
Files:
Basic_Black_xxx_V2_x.zip
All files are in one folder inside the zip-file, so they can be copied to the windows-directory off the reel.
Basic_Black_xxx_V2_x_separated.zip
All files are in separated folders inside the zip-file, so you can choose which files you copy to the windows-dir.
Instruction:
Unpack the *.zip-file you want and read the installation.txt.
(If something is wrong or you need some help please let me know!)
Changelog:
V2_1 [17.09.2008]
- two new color-changed images of the camera
- newer *.tsk-files
I'm not so happy with the calendar-icon, but until now I didn't get a better version of it. Maybe someone else could help to make it more similar to the other icons?
#1
(reserved for further update etc.)
the file is too big ?
try with rapidshare.com
[good work!]
[thanks!]
That's strange because the file isn't bigger than 8MB (that should be the maximum file size of zip-files).
But now I've uploaded it with rapidshare
Very nice work!
Will download....
Does this also change the today screen and other non TouchFlo elements like buttons, captions etc. (globally of course)?

I think it does because I changed also many graphics that have nothing to do with TF3D, for example the Screen if you connect your diamond with USB etc.
And there is also the vodafone.tsk, which makes the "menu marker" red for example.
@NisseDILLIGAF
Thank you!
nice job thanx
Thanks for the theme.
You were faster than me in changing everything green into red. One thing I could not find in your basic zip file was a red highlighted internet globe.
Thanks to the help of NisseDILLIGAF who pointed me in the right direction I was able to change it. Now the theme is perfect!
Win refuses to overwrite the manila-files. Could somebody make from this a real theme-file. The red is amazing color with black.
Theme File
just installed, the red & black looks so cool!
GREAT WORK...thank you
really fine themes, one of the best i tried today
but a few questions:
i made a roll back to my standard theme (with TF3D config 0.6.7) but now i have some graphic problems, e.g. TF-volume is still red instead of original green, also the buttons for choosing between ActiveSync- and external drive-mode if connected to PC. And the (green) button beside the active keyboard, if i want to change half to full or phone etc., is fully lost
Are there any options to get the old status back without a hardreset?
thank you for your answer
ok, ive tried this, but im not satisfied, altough i would love to have a black red theme.
What would make this theme perfect for me is, that it should be exactly as the original touchflo, htc black theme, only where default theme has green colour, it should have red colour, that would be perfect theme for me.
also, i restored default theme, and still i have in volume control red coloured bars, which i can't restore to defaults, which is not ok.
i tried to delete manila files with resco explorer, but says i cant delete files, because they are in the memory. Any suggestion how to do this ?
thank you

Ok, solved it by myself. There is a little bug in TF3D Config-Tool, which forgot to delete three files after choosing a Theme-Restore:
- HTCUSBtoPCPopUp.png
- SIPMenu_SelectIcon.bmp
- HTCVolumeControl.png
After deleting these file and automatic replacement of the original TF-Files by WM (soft-reset!) everything looks ok again
THANKS ! i am happy again
dunno where i saw it, but is there a possibility, to change background on all menus ?
Great theme! Love balck&red
Only issue I have is cannot see the writings in the manilla settings/sound properties, it's only me? something wrong?
Thanks
Black font on black background, got this Prob, too.
If you highlight it with the red "Cursor" you can read it...
Choosing new programs has this small prob also

Weird Font on Touch Pro
DiamondTweak is what you need to download.
Section 17 of the Program.
17.7 Cleartype in Landscape Mode - Disabled
This fixed all my white font and weird font problems...I am on a Touch Pro though, but it may help you too.
Grey Taskbar
Go to start -> Settings -> Today and select the "Htc black" .tsk
(if it is already selected, choose an other first [e.g.Windows-standard] and switch then back)
Note: Because I still do NOT own a Diamond PRO myself, supporting this Device isn't easy...
the background is much better, but its going to be tough getting rid of my sprint theme.
eehm... Not really the original...
or maybe htc stole my background image squares!!

Hi,
can you post here yours background image. I want it use as today background.
Thank you

but u know that it's a manila file... not a wallpaper...
unzip and copy the manila file to windows....
Hi!
Whats your TF3D Config version number what you use with 1.93 ROM??
Thx!
Not suitable for Raphael yet.
Thanks for the good work.
I installed it over my T-Mobile (horrific Pink theme) MDA Vario IV and looks good. Exept for the landscape screen when the keyboard is slided open. Then the orginal icons are not there at all. Perhaps something for the next update. Thanks in advance.
I noticed the same thing on my Voda branded TP. But the black theme looks absolutely brilliant. I am not going back to the original red ever.
I'm trying to modify my theme on the new 1.93 Rom from the US 3G version Diamond... I'm using Total Commander to try to modify the read only permission sets of the Manilla files so I can write over them. However it doesn't seem to be working. Are there other programs available? Trying to update to use NisseDILLIGAF background
you have to disable Touch Flo first, then just copy the manila file to windows using total commander

Do u have HTC black in Today themes?
I've attached a the HTC Black.tsk, just unzip, copy it to windows and try to activate it in Today...
Thanks,
Seemed all I had to do was select a different theme, then reselect the htc theme......BINGO.... phone looks fantastic. I am now going to see what other things I am incapable of doing. I know that I will have further questions, and that I am a bit of a techno-cretin, but I hope you guys will continue to help. This is a great forum by the way, very helpful indeed.
Hi NisseDILLIGAF,
I am new to HTC Diamond, really appreciate all links you had put under the "Customizing TF3D - The Collection!", I had learnt alot.
I have problem with changing status bar color on my HTC Diamond, the status bar background color at the bottom of the screen had change to "light grey" instead of "black" color on all of tab option, such as the white "Phone text" and ""Program text" appear on a "light grey" background on the Home page, which leads me very difficuilt to read the "white text", are there any programs that you have or know that can change the background color of the status bar, back to "black" or any colors
Thank you very much
i m having the same problem... any hints?
sorry.. I missed your post earlyer...
I don't know why this has happend... never happend to me...
but have u tryed changing the WM Theme?
Start->Settings->Today-> click a WMTheme (HTC Black) -> ok
choose a different one than u have now... then u can go back to the one u want to have..
hope this helps...
This happened to me after I installed Mapking. If you have installed this program go to windows/startup directory and delete the mapking sms program. Reset and should be back to normal.

I have the diamond by alltel, and they decided not to even include the black theme for some reason. any other way to do this? I just want to change the top and bottom bars to black. Thanks.
here is what you need
Thanks, but I could not get this to work on the diamond. It said it was going to change the color, but it looks like this program was designed for win mobile 5.
Am I just over looking something? Any other diamond users wanna help me out here?

Hi,
I recently had to do a hard reset and having re-installed various cabs and teaked TF3D, I noticed that the font colour under "Settings" "Sound" and "Settings" "Data" are no longer visible - i.e. the font isnow white on a white background
I have attached two shots of what I mean ...
I have trawled through threads and cannot find an easy solution ... would be grateful for any pointers.
Thanks

thank you for that - I have the HTC Black wallpaper on all screens except certain sub-screens - e.g. "Music" is black but "Music" "Library" is white (but with black font so not a problem here) and although the same applies to the "Settings" tab which is black, "Settings" "Sound" and "Settings" "Data" are white but the font is white too - baffled but hoping to find a solution ... been reading about changing font colours in manilla files but there are so many and without knowing which one to edit, it would be almost impossible to find
Sorry I don't have the answer (I have been looking for this myself).
I thought the font going white problem was to do with installing one CAB (possibly the +call history, +comm manager, + calendar one). I think the white font on the new comm manager changes the font colour for various other things too - might be wrong on this
I had fixed it once, had to hard reset, and broke it again. I can't find it in search, but this might prompt some memories or let you search it.
edit:
I have found the post
Solution thanks to NisseDILLIGAF
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2749043&postcount=49
I think the grey font works on both, you might need to edit the colour manually though if you can't see it

Hi Karandras24,
which help do you need?
Cheers Mike,
I have already sorted it.
font colour change on people screen in voda tp2 std customisation
hi,
just got a touch pro 2 on vodafone uk and have a problem with their customisation :
on the people screen when you run your finger down the small people icons on the right hand side all you see is a black box which masks the persons name - obviously a quick and dirty customisation by vodafone just reversing the colours of text and background without working through the implications on menus properly. (see attached pic)
as i quite like the vodafone colourscheme bar this does anyone know of a quick hack to change the colour of the persons name to say white JUST in this box (otherwise it will disappear in to white backgrounds elsewhere)
TIA
ian

Would you please share your findings? I'm in the middle of working on a light-color theme and I've had no luck in finding out the manila files that relate to the font color for all tabs.

The files i found are listed above.
As far as sorting it....
I ditched the vodafone uk rom and went with a custom rom, which had white text (vodafone rom's default is black text).
All i wanted was to change the text to white, so it served my purpose.
I probably should have been a bit clearer about that when i said i had sorted it.
Greetings.
I wanted to have the source of manila 2.1 in black. Is there any .cab to do it or tell me how? Thank you.
do a search on either the diamond or blackstone sections (can't remember which it's on) for "blackfont.cab" and you'll find one.
Then I looked and found nothing for Manila 2.1. Thank you.
