Hi! I recently got a htc touch pro for Alltel and fell in love with it after I realized how to customize it. I use Diamond TF3D Config and have changed the theme. The only problem is the theme is black and white and my task bar (start menu, battery, etc...) is still a navy color. Is there any way to change this to black to match my theme?
You got some reading to do. Everything you need to know is in there. Enjoy your reading.

I was looking for a solution to changing the font color on the HTC Home Music Tab to something other than the pastel blue.
I couldn't find a solution on this forum so I hacked it myself. I changed the font color from blue to white so it matches other themes better. It is only a hex change on six digits.
I am sharing this file in case anyone else want it as well. I also changed the progress bar color to green since the Diamond theme is all the rage nowadays. But the progress bar color is easy to change back.
The files came from HTC home version 2.1 build 1005722. I took it from one of PDAViet's newer WM6.1 rom for Hermes.
This is my very first hack and I only tested on my 8525. It is working fine. But please report back if anything is wrong.

The theme really is just Empex's diamond theme V2 together with tnyynt's HTC background. So the artwork credit belongs to them.
I added tweaks to it wrt MS application background color and command bar color.
There is a bug with my tweaks where if you boot up the device running my theme, the "start" text and the "time" on the top bar is missing. You can resolve this by switching to a standard theme and then switching back. I haven't really looked into what is causing this bug (hasn't bother me since I don't reboot that often) but if anyone knows why this is the case then please help me out here.

If it's only a six digits change, why would I have to install a 2,3 MB CAB file?

yes, it is only a six digit hex change on the main dll.
Problem is though there are so many versions of HTC home floating around, I don't want people to just download the dll and replace what they currently have. This may lead to compatibility issue.
Hi very good work but it may not help me because of the version. Could you write some tutorial about how to change? (I mean where inside the dll should I change) I would like to change the color of the weather tab and I could open the dll file by hex editor. Thx
@ Lolento can i ask what is the name of the dll file please as i would like to try other colours
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

Very nice job Elvelynn..
maybe we could work together to make others colors ?
Having used Manilla2d for a few weeks now I have decided I like it and would like to make the rest of my WM6 look the same. So I have a few questions.
1. Is there a tsk for the flat blue o2 xda ignito, or a way to make a flat black tsk have a blue highlight color. Or any way to make flat colored themes at all. I have used some of the the theme editors, but have not been able to get flat colors to work for the taskbar and the softkey bar. This is probably due to my own incompetence. Currently I am using UI tweaker, but I would like to minimize the number of programs I am using since M2d takes up so much space.
2. Can the opal task manager that comes with manilla2d be skinned? If so, since I have no idea how to do it, is it possible to have the background be the manilla2d blue background, with a blue highlight color?
3. I am also using the opal comm manager. The one with the white background with blue slider bars. I am being anal now, but I was wondering if you can change the text under the slider bars from ON OFF to On Off. This has been bothering me.
4. Can the full screen player have a green or blue progress bar rather than a red one?
I will include the versions I am using. Thanks for sticking with me, I am getting pretty ridiculous.
Thanks

Well i just got done watching some House. Hopefully this will be on the front page long enough for the right people to read it. I will check back tomorrow.
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...

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?

Ok, I'm using the default HTC theme (*.tsk - attached), the only problem is that the bars arent 3d. does anyone have a version that looks the same, but with black 3d bars?
so essentially, all that is needed is for the bars to be changed to 3d

without screenshots I have no idea what you're actually after.
also, you already started a thread about this. this new one is clutter.
the first (screen08) and second (screen09) pic is what it looks like (flat)
the third (black_3d) pic is what i want it to look like (3d)
the catch is that there are settings in the registry... (screen08)
It very easy. Search for an executable called Glossy Black Bars. After running it, you will have the 3d bars.
By the way, it is off topic if you don't mind, how can you get the percentage of the battery showing on the top bar next to the original battery icon? Just like the third screenshot. Thanks
Run a search for ThemeGenCE and you can make your own themes... No reg edits either.....
ive tried both. neither worked
theme gen doesnt open it because it is a newer version of a theme
btw, it is a wm6.1 theme
im pretty sure the battery thing is default when enabled via registry
got it...
removed the flattile bits in the registry
Its possible to do the same thing, but with white or silver colors? I have only che originale themes, with the bar in black, red, green or blue...
