The background is probably not included in the ones that don't work, or included as a seperate image that you have to apply manually in the today screen settings page.
There are some themes at SE page too.
However I have a feeling you mix THEME with the BACKGROUND of a Today screen, which you can apply by yourself.

do a search for wvgathemehelper - that will make the themes work properly ...
Images
It would be nice if we all posted here the images we use as wallpapers. The resolution should be 800x800.

I have been messing with some icons, most of the images are grabbed from google images and cropped with paintshop pro.
The set includes comm manager, call history and callender icons, if you use them. Included is a custom slider. I am just trying to get Nisse's 3 icon menu to work with the extra icons, so I'll update the post when and if I do.

Clear Ring Slider & Invisible Program Back
What it says in the title, the slider should work with all tabs.
I have tweaked the ring slider, moved it up and over a few pixels, it looks better so I have replaced the .cab with a new one.

InvisibleTrayIcons
Following an idea suggested to me by Dynomite232 I have made a .cab with 13 invisible tray icons. This means that if you use this .cab you will only see the hero, the big icon which pops up in the middle and the one selected inside the slider, nice if you like your wallpaper!
Edits, I think it should work with any theme.
Invisible slider, good with these icons.

thats right i realy like the look its so clean now
Unique, thanks for the "no background in programs tab"...it works great. However when i use any of your sliders they are offset to the left of the screen by about 25%. I am on a stock sprint rom with some mods to TF3d (flip clock, taskbar icons, no curtains and icons). Do you know of any reason that this would be occurring?
nice work... I was thinking on doing this too...just a couple

I don't know the reason but It is no trouble for me to do sliders which would be offset to begin with and would therefore show in the correct place. Which sliders would you like to use? and I'll move them over a bit for you. Maybe you could post a screenshot so that I can see exactly how much it needs to be moved.

These are done at the request of mbord, see if you like them, I think the transparency is too high in er...the transparent one.

I was wondering if anyone gets some WVGA themes for sharing for my new X1i.
Thanks alot!
I much prefer the background of the XPERIA Black theme, but unfortunately the bars are 'flat' and not 3D, and the color is not changeable via RCMod... so I wanted to place the images from XPERIA Black into the XPERIA Silver theme so I can play with the WinMo bar colors... has anyone done this? I don't have experience with the Theme Gen software out there.
Can always use tfl3d :-D Then you can use all the themes that are out there already.

Not entirely true. If you use the TF3D themes from the diamond they are in a VGA resolution not WVGA, so they dont look right. However, they can be changed with the TF3D theme editor.
I want to know where to find -or how to extract- the "Xperia black" original wallpaper from the whole theme
I like the image but the rest of the theme is boring... (flat borders, no animations, etc...)
I have installed TouchFlo3D as a panel and suddenly I found myself using it 80% of the time (10% Xpeia Media panel and 10% on other panels). IMHO TouchFlo 3D is A LOT much useful that the original Sony-Ericsson user interface.
I´d really like to find a way to put that original "xperia" image on my TouchFLO 3D panel home screen ("background" or "wallpaper") but I can't find theimage inside the phone
Found the original "Xperia" pic: its named stwater... something else in the windows forlder
I assigned it as wallpaper in TouchFLo3D settings tab -> wallpaper but only appears in the today screen !!! (I mean, when I change to any other tab "weather" "programs" etc it is not displayed)
Any solution ?? Ideas ??

Many thanks to you buddy
You may also need the WVGAThemeHelper.cab...google it, install it, change theme, execute it. Needs to be executed after you changed a theme...
i dont understand how you install .tsk files? and also whats the wvgathemehelper.cab about? thanks.
Put *.tsk files on your phone (my documents/themes) Then you will be able to see these themes among your default themes.
"wvgathemehelper.cab" is to help your phone to correctly switch theme.
For me when i changed theme the background did not work, after i executed "wvgathemehe.." everything looks fine!
//Patrik
Edit: They do not nessesarly have to be in a "themes" folder, thats just a suggestion
thanks so much...ill have a go!

Choose one and replace the background You won't find any better themes, only themes with higher contrast colors (IMHO ugly)
Today I finally found out how to get a solid black skin: I chose the Xperia black theme, and then replaced stwater_480_800.bmp in the windows folder with a black picture.

thanks guys
As per title really, i'm happy with the functionality and layout etc etc of my device, i just want to change the colour scheme to be as below, i've spent ages trying to find where the theme is located but can't, please can someone help me with where it is and how to change it

That looks like stock photos of the unlocked GSM Rhodium running a stock windows 6.1 and Sense 2.1. So there isn't a theme really. Just a stock phone with a black background.
I can't find the black background anywhere, it certainly isnt on the device.
That background is embedded in the Manila files; it's the same as on all other tabs of Manila.
You can get it by editing the registry. Find the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In that key change the value for "DefaultHomeBackgroundPath" to an empty string (you may ned to go to the settings tab after that, and try to change the wallpaper; it should then ask you if you want to use the default wallpaper).

Well, here's the wallpaper for a start:

I can get the wallpaper and top and bottom bars black but nothing happens to the touch flo, it stays defaulted to red and white, so by turning touch flo off (which i dont want to do) i get black wallpaper

I don't blame you! I've had a bit of a search and I can't really find anything that'll revert it back to the HTC stock theme
You may have to use a different theme - or Hard SPL and flash a new ROM if you're up for that?
well i've about had enough of the nasty red and white

gonna have a go at that later on, what would i need to do after i've done all those steps? would i then need to find themes etc (idiot alert)
This looks like a mix of old and new.
The red taskbar should be able to change to a different colour by using a different theme file (.tsk) Download this file and save it to My Documents, then apply it by going to All Settings > Personal > Today
http://f.imagehost.org/download/0517/htc_black
I feel your pain, thissy. My AT&T Tilt 2 came with a blue theme that had to go. Being a n00b, I had no idea how do to any of that stuff.
After reading and searching, I was able to change almost everything without flashing a new rom. I think you need to start with getting Max's TF3D theme maker, found here. Become familiar with that thread, and all the additional components you can add into Max's program. LOTS of good stuff out there to tweak the look of your phone.

Try the things other people suggest first if you're unsure about flashing a new ROM. But, if you do decide to flash one, say Ark's ROM here:
http://htcpedia.com/Rhodium-AF-manila-2-5-VX3/soft/htc-rhodium-rom.html?page=1
You wouldn't need to add any themes because it would look like this:
Plus you'd have all the benefits of Manila 2.5.
Hope this helps.
cheers everyone for your help
no doubt i'll be back at some point for some more nooby help

Download HDWalls (HDWall_v0.28b) seems to be the most stable http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503511
1. Open it up on your PC, and run HDWALLS.EXE.
2. Click on slider on the side task bar. Right there are the original icon for the slide. select then create cab.
3 Now under options check the box to include slider bar
done... convert and create cab, and install. if you get confused, just followed hdwalls instructions. im sure there are people with links to cabs the way you may want it setup. my hd2 is pimped out thanks to HDWALLS. make sure to install hq patch.

I think what you're looking for there is the background itself, not the slider itself or the curtain behind it.
I believe the image below is the one you're looking for. I went ahead and cabbed it up in HDWalls using some settings that should work on the new stock tmo ROM. If you use this cab to make that image your background (it'll apply it to all tab backgrounds), you'll also need to install the HQ patch I've attached as well.
Let us know if this worked for what you needed

Ahh yes sorry, I didn't catch that you wanted that image on all tabs other than your home tab, with a separate image instead for that. I'm honestly not familiar with any of the wallpaper choosers that might be out there. However, you might want to take a look at BG4A (BG4All tabs)...I seem to recall that it will put backgrounds on the tabs but still let you pick a separate one for your homescreen, but I haven't used it in a long time and could be mistaken

Well you guys should all be running CHT on your devices anyways..that has an option to set an image for your tabs...in bothe 1.8.5 and 2.0...just download CHT and it will take care of that completely!
After updating my original German T-Mobile ROM from 1.72.111.4 to 3.14.111.1 (04666) GER with Manila 2.5.20181527.1, I get the same solid black background on all Sense tabs. This thread was the only search result that describes the problem.
HDWall v0.29b was not my first solution. Because I only want back my gray backgrounds.
Therefore, I installed the HQWallpaperPatch v1.30.
This was a successful attempt. All my gray backgrounds were there again. But now it was not possible to me to change the wallpaper of the home tab any more.
And the newly transparent look of the notification bar and soft bar is very ugly while working with normal applications.
Then, nevertheless after uninstalling the HQWallpaperPatch, I have tried out HDWall. But the resulting CABs were not compatible with my ROM. The wallpapers have not changed and the Sense UI became unstable. Only a hard reset/cold boot could solve the problems with Sense.
CHT is the acronym from "Co0kie's Home Tab". I do not need all that features. Hence, I have investigated to BG4all (Background for all tabs).
BG4all only replaces two files in the \Windows folder. 090a4ee8_manila includes a compressed script. I am not sure, why 3a8e04af_manila also must be replaced.
But there are many versions of this patch in the wild. I used m9editor to compare all shipped files with my original ones.
And I found a compatible version. This BG4all_Manila2.5.cab works without problems along with my ROM version.
