Hi guys,
I'm looking for a dialer, exactly like the standard WM6 dialer but with the video call option, that way when the theme changes we'll have the correct colour dialer, also if possible I'd like the Comm screen to change too.
HTC use that green theme for the default which is ok of you have a green theme, it just feels like a half assed theme if the other screens don't change!
if anyone can help or point me in the right direction that would be fantastic.
Thanks guys
Terry
Is it possible to make a full theme change for windows mobile 6? I mean not like Wisbar Apps or any other type that is similar to it. I mean changing the colors, backgrounds of the phone and any other winmo6 embedded software.
Here is an example of want i want it to do. lets say that you are changing the theme of your winmo6 to blue but you want to keep the same look and feel to it with out install a cab to change the phone the blue color in stead when you change the color to blue it will change everything on your device blue too.
thanks

it does not change the phone color just the today screen
There's two applications I know of - both change various aspects of your colour schemes; one is "RC Mod" (get it here) and the other is called "UI Tweaker" (from here).
Have a look, see what you think

first link is uesless, it's in italian for the most part. And UI Tweaker just changes colors, not the dial pad.
Unless someone comes out with an app that lauches the color changes as well as a cab install for the phone dialer, there isn't a current app to do this. This is one of the drawbacks I have hate about WM. It was never designed to do whole system color coding, you can change the theme which does change system colors, but there is still a lot of white coloring thru out the OS and the dial pads, keyboards, etc never change color with the theme.

I must have misunderstoof the first post incorrectly then, but I didn't see the OP ask about changing the dialer.....all of the colours on the dialer are images anyway, so it makes no difference what colour the rest of the UI gets changed to...
The first link is useless coz the attached images are dead links and the post is mostly in Italian because the author is, like, Italian....you obviously stopped reading after the first couple of words
I agree that WM 6.0 lacks any decent "UI tweaking" capabilities - hopefully MS will address that deficiency in 6.1, or 7.0, or 8.0, or........maybe not

Since the dialer, theme and everything else is controlled by images and registry edits I believe you just have to delve in with Mortscript and learn how to script it yourself. Mortscript will then batch process it in the same way you can do it yourself manually. But once you do it'll be pretty sweet. You can have a iPhone script, a Touch script, etc. for one click overall theme change. Its just getting familiarized with Mortscript and digging into dialpad CABs to see what registry/files need to be modified/copied. Heck if you are going that route you might as well see if its possible to manually copy over some of the welcome screens as well. =P
Just curious, do you honestly switch your entire phone theme that often? And need the phone pad/dialer to be changed as well? Have you even tried installing a dialpad CAB, then another one on top of it, then another one on top of that one...just to see if it creates any corruption?
Shantz is great cause it does exactly what it needs to do on changing the theme or background and he even has an option to allow you to run an external program (mortscript) so that it can copy the background onto other programs such as S2U2 and WAD (and in the future...possibly PointUI Home background).
So if you are willing to give up on the idea of installing a dialpad CAB (perhaps install a neutral gray or black one), the task will be a lot easier with Shantz and a little bit of Mortscript coding.

This software is not to change colors, but it has a theme modifier feature that changes the color of that ugly scroll bar on right today screen, and the default buttons etc. Very fun! There is a trial version on website.
TEST IT
Have a look at this program:
http://www.codeppc.com/telechargements/themegence/themegence.htm
it can create new themes or modify an existing one (you can copy the existing one from your windows directory)....
I'm looking for some good HTC Touch themes that dont require the user of WAD WA3 UL ect.. Is this possible? If not, The program needs to be very light on the battery. Any ideas?

Okay, I was able to get what i want by using HHC Today Customizer, The only problem im having is on the today screen theres a thin grey line splitting up icons like on the main screen.. The email, sms, and missed call icons are devided by a thin grey line. this same grey line devides up icons in the other sections of my today screen as well. How do i get rid of it?
Also does anyone know how to change the buttons on the bottem, I think their called softkeys. Theirs two of them, Mine say calendar and contacts.
once again a search would suffice ur needs...to my knowledge...theres no way of getting rid of those separator lines...theres things u can do to change the colour of it to best match your walpaper...and please search...on how to change your softkeys...a search for advancedconfig will solve your problem
i dnt know if its only me but for some reason i always revert back to my original windows mobile today screen after i have tried some new ones. like they say the original is always the best.
anyone else like me out there?
Not yet, but I must confess I've been using my Magician and Hermes just for three years now. So maybe the moment I switch back to the origanal T-Mobile theme will come anywhere in the future LOL.
Now using a customised Ultimate Launch setup from Rumball. And have used many themes before like Throttle Launcher, Wisbar Advance, HTC Home.
It's all about being happy, isn't?
Just my 2C.
well, everytime installing a theme or add-on or plugin, i always return the standard HTC Home...for me it is the best, because i get attuned on the standard screen...

I understand you very well and i think what may be behind that backward to original theme.
Ofcourse there are many reasons like:
Themes design in a way that tiered our eyes
Themes with customization limits
Themes that eat a lot of memory
Themes that crash our pda's
etc etc etc
In my case i think i reach to a Software that a use for sometime now and and don't think i will change or reverse to another one.
I use the last WAD2 software and none of the reasons that i mention happens with this software.
I love it
I really don't under the attraction of some of the themes that many people use - 97 tiny icons on the front page.
I use a combination of
* photo contacts
* favourites
* calender
* Inbox
in the day and switch over to "samsung today" in the evening when I am out and about or in the pub.
I'm using Spb Mobile Shell, and some how I always come back the the 1.2.1 default theme. A lot of fancy themes out there. But the original one is crisp, clean and functional. Just the way I like it.
and i thought it was just me that felt this way...
Instaled SPB Mobile shell - download greatball's diamond theme
Uninstalll
Install
Uninstall
Install and have now still 2 months
Diamond original theme
- change
- back to my old
-diamond theme
- old with black top (like diamond)
- old with normal top, bottom black like original
- old with top like diamond, start menu like diamond....
- old like this up + green ehm.... choose?
- original diamond with my wallpaper :-D
This my history
I've used rlToday for a long time with a simple analog clock with sms email and missed call indicators only. I love using it because it is lite on memory and I can't accidently click anything on the screen. But as of late I was using HTC Home for the weather and music portion. As for the really nice themes that people make they only last at best a week with me then I go back. I guess they are just too much for my simple mind lol.
I have not went back to the original theme once changed. But, I change themes to get a newer & different home screen.
I change my device almost every week, at least ever since I joined xda! Every week there is a new theme, or a new launcher. Right now I am just waiting for WAD2 to be complete, and I'll probably create my theme, then stick with it for hopefully a while. I think I spend more time changing items on my Touch, then I do actually use it !
Not to mention, I have had a new ROM almost every few days since I starting building.
I've tried a lot of plugins. I started with the HTC Home Customizer. WAD and WA2 followed. Tried a lot of things with Ultimatelaunch and i'm using Throttlelauncher right now.
All previous configurations evolved to the theme i use right now. I download a lot of themes for different plugins and get new ideas every time to update my current theme.
I'm definitely not going back to the original HTC plugin. It's good, but there are a lot of things i don't use or are better of mapped under a hardware button. Throttlelauncher with plugins, iContact, Diamond Dialer and Diamond Comm Manager is my favorite combination at the moment.
That's for now... don't know what's happening tomorrow.
i switch themes and apps if not daily then every other day..
im addicted!
I'm the same way.

heheeh, it is amazing how look a like we are !!!!
The "out of the box" theme is all but useless to me, a Touch owner. The cube serves no useful function other than the quick dialer, as none of the other programs it launches are useful.
I tried a lot of themes and plugins over the months, but none of them were really useful to me. In the end I created this one, which is a combination of rlToday and UltimateLaunch. Having spent the time to create my own icons, figure out how to make buttons that adjust flight mode and mute/vibrate, I can't imagine I'll ever use another theme than this.
With a little bit of patience, I've managed to create a theme that makes the Start menu and the stylus completely irrelevant, and using my device much more efficient. I still tweak it from time to time, and I'm still hopeful of learning how to make graphics change as battery charge changes, but that's not something that affects productivity, so it's not a priority for me.
I've found "theme nirvana"

Everytime I install those themes, I go back to the stock themes in less than a week
Hi everyone,
This is my first ever cab so I thought I'd share it with you all.
I love the TF3D interface but my Rhodium came shipped with a black theme with green highlights. Green has never been one of my favourite colours so I decided to change it to blue.
I dug through all the manilla files & windows images and replaced every green image I could find with a blue one.
I'm not too sure how if this will work on other devices... I would assume the manila files won't be a problem on any device running TF3D but I'm not too sure about windows image files... Please use at your own discretion
Feel free to let me know if I missed any
My thanks to chainfire for CFC GUI - this application made my life so much easier
Please Note:
The images for the green colour scheme are contained in both Manila and the Windows directory images.
If you install the manila cab only, you'll notice many elements are still green, like the On/Off selector on the Communications Tab and the highlights in the dialer.
I'm not too sure why it was developed this way, but I have decided to split my cab up for those of you who don't wish to overwrite your Windows files.
I've also included a cab for the stock windows files in case you want to revert to the stock theme. You can revert the manila files by simply uninstalling that cab.
Enjoy
mmm, nice, I'm install it, but tab slider is in top of the active icon.

This theme just replaces image files. The highlights in explorer etc can be changed by using Max TTM as these are not images but a system setting
I would include this is the theme but I don't how how...
Thanks for the compliment though, I'm glad you like it

I have the same issue and I was disappointed. But when I restore the backup (without hard reset) I did just before testing, icons appears and blue modifications are kept ! See image below :

Some of the changes remain after uninstall because some are images from the Windows directory and not in manilla files... I had a similar problem when installing another colour scheme theme from the forum. I will upload a cab tonight with the default files which should take you back to the green scheme.
I'm not too sure what you guys mean when you say "tab slider is in top of the active icon"... perhaps it's an issue with your existing custom theme. I installed this on my stock manilla theme and all works fine. Can you post a screenshot of this?
All I've done is open up the image files and changed the colours. There's no other configurations in my cab, just existing file replacements
I've uploaded the stock Windows files - check post #1
I also split up the theme cab into two parts, Manila files & Windows files so you can choose not to replace your Windows files if you don't wish to
Tried this on my VZW Rhodium over my stock theme. Now my phone dialer won't work, I have giant green circles around every selected tab, and the radio button dots now have small "phone" images inside them. Phone is utterly useless, and will require a hard reset, since your cabs cannot be uninstalled, and I can't install the windows stock cab.
Epic fail, man.

You have a branded Rhodium so naturally this will be a problem.
A lot of other people, including myself, have installed this with no problems at all.
Please do some reading on what you can and cannot do on YOUR handset before flaming other member's contributions.
Thanks i love it. hope its work at my Omnia 2
Its installed sucessful at my device without error.
but i dont know how to change color scheme
Hi idrak3,
This theme/colour scheme is only available for Manila. Are you running a custom ROM on your Omnia with Touch Flo? If not, I'm afraid this won't work for you
