Hi everyone
I currently use mostly BLACK look:
- slide2unlock2 with black bakground
- all black Today theme (bars & background)
- Black phone dialpad
- Also many other new good programs (with scroll function) have black bakgrounds too:
- iContact 0.3
- OtO 0.45b..etc
- gCalc (calculator)
I like this darker sharp look alot (iPhonish style)
& i was wondering if its possible to tweak the "original" WM6 windows like:
- programs
- settings
- Contacts
- messaging & mail (including outlook)
- Mobile word & excel
to have dark black background (or dark grey?) & pure white font ??
Again, to be clear, I am NOT talking about Today themes or bars....
I do not know if this maybe as simple as finding a registry key? or difficuly as doing each window indivitually?
I hope we can get some help from our programers here
Thank you
Any ideas?
any ideas at all?
such a disappointment tha no one responded.....
Maybe UI Tweaker does this?
Certainly remember being able to change System Colours in the menus.

CETuner 2005
not officially supported by WM6 but seems to work well
check it out here http://www.penreader.com/pocket-pc-software/CETuner_2002.html
Does anybody know how to change the bars on the top and bottom of the screen to different colors and possibly give them the "3d" effect they have on the xperia silver theme. I want to make them have that 3d glossy effect but be black. I downloaded a simple skin that's supposed to make them black and glossy on any wm6.1 device but instead they went gray just like the xperia silver theme.
any suggestions?
thanks
go to "development and hacking" section and ask there... this is not xperia related and you can have more help
anyway, what you call "skin" is a common theme for windows mobile, use google (or search function) and you will find tons of theme maker
Forget it! I was searching now for about one year for a glossy black theme. Not a hope. This must be a restriction of WM6.x
Are there any tweaks to change the colour of the font displaying Missed Calls/Calendar/Date/Alarm etc on the Home Screen (or even better, to have an opaque box behind the text)?
I have some nice photos I want to use as backgrounds, but they are mostly white so I cant see any text!
Cheers,
Doc
same for me... i wanna use a more lighter background picture. But with the white letters its not really useful.

could you please tell me if this tool works for you and your HD? I want to change my home screen font color too but i still didn`t found a way...
Thanks,

I've look also for the exactly same thing and I've reached to the following conclusion: you can't do anything about it.
I've tried tons of programs, registry editing, hexa editing etc. Spend days on the issue. Nada, nothing. I even some some experienced users saying that it can be changed almost any colors on tabs, exept the ones above.
LE: I think the most closest possibility for us to obtain this effect is to manually edit the wallpaper and place some dark boxes where the text is written, but this means that the dark boxes will apear on every other tab also.
hello...I have tried this UItweaker on my touch hd...
I tried the one to change the today screen font color...
and spinning wheel of death occured...
so I killed the UITweaker but the font color indeed changed
I soft reseted and changed it back - again spinning wheel of death - and after having back to nromal I removed it because it seems like not the program I want to my mess my phone...since it seems the device does not like it....
and anyway..i think that after having this program my google mpas started to be stupid - I dont know if it really is because of this - but now the google maps show My Location as a venezuela...that is not true, I am in middle europe...WTF I want it work again normally...
this sucks
so if you want try it, it changes the color, but it is not working flawleslly and I hate that...
The UI Tweaker only messed up my other colors, but doesen't changed the color I wanted.
Take care using it.
I also had issues with UI Tweaker, I somehow changed the background of the buttons on the home page (Phone, Programs, x button etc) to pink and couldnt change it back!
I remember seeing a Russian Rom that had black text on the home screen, so I do think its possible.
My workaround for the moment is to edit the background pic and draw an opaque box where the info is displayed.
I think it looks quite cool! It does take a bit of messing around (trial and error) to get it in the right place, and I still have to add a few more (date/alarm)... work is quite busy atm so I dont really have the time!
If I do find another way, I will post it here.
As I said, the only problem for this workaround is that in all other tabs, the background will apear with the boxes from the HOME tab.
I wonder if it is a way of having different wallpapers for each tab.
Must search that.
LE: Found that: Change wallpapers. It gives a solution how to have a different background picture for the rest of the tabs.
so simple
go to settings > home screne > scroll to color scheme & select > scroll to : text: black" then select done
Hi there,
I'm trying to get glossy black bars in the default WM6.1 Xperia X1 theme. For some reason they are flat black by default.
I've searched quite a bit on this forum, and tried the "glossy black bars" executable, but it unfortunately doesn't work.
Does any of you know how to get the bars glossy black?
Thanks in advance!
START -> Today -> Themes
The standard Xperia black has flat bars. You need to use/install a Theme with "glossy" bars.

Like the Silver Xperia Theme I use..
Thanks all.
I used UItweaker, to get the glossy bars back for the default Xperia theme.
I'm just curious.. I have an Omnia and for the startbar and the bar below you can't select full white or full black.. Is there any way to change this properly?
Now for my real question: I noticed that SPB MS 3.5 and also mskip's widgets are both mostly based on a black theme.. I wondered if there is some way you could change it to white?
Another problem: When I change the qa_fundotela2.dat files from black to white.. It actually doesnt change anything about the looks.. but when I scroll now.. Old icons stay in the screen and I get an overlap of everywhere I scroll.. Seems not right?
