Yo!
Like the topic says, is it possible too change the background color in the application folder? It's standard, and boring white now, and i want it black with white text. Is this possible?
Maybe with a small application or something?
So.. Do you understand the words that comes out of my mouth?
The first one to solve my problem will win a imaginary Porsche 911 Oh lala

Thanx, but i don't understand it hehe..
I'm quite a n00b in Windows Mobile..
PS. i don't have a Windows computer either.. I'm using Mac, so f.ex, i can't use "Theme Creator" thingy.. So it must be done on the device, and not on a desktop computer.

id like to know how that works, if somebody tells i will format all the needable program icons with white border and inline shadow so it looks better this would be cool
I believe SKTOOLS (a ppc program that can manage quite a bit of settings) allows you to tweak your theme on the fly.... I do believe when you change the background color of that folder, it will change it for all folders... Completely unsure if this will work though due to the fact that I have never tried
try ui tweaker
With ui tweaker you can do this (sys colour change).
BUT I was not able to do a complete black n´white as the popup windows (notification of new sms, reminders....) still had a black font on a black backround and then i was unable to read :-(
The software is enclosed as well as my try of pure black - in case you hve a touchflo installed...The colour of the buttons have to be different from black then or touchflow will not work.
In case you manage to get a fully black theme working please send me the regfile from ui tweaker as I would be also interested.
Enclosed a screenshot wit my current solution - grey coloured
But you can also import the settings into uitweaker (allesok....sys) and try...

Hehe.. Yeah, i know
Isn't there a programmer out there who can make a app. witch is easy to use.. and stuff..?
Or(!) A creative soul out there who can make a nice colorscheme for UITweaker?
One more thing.. Is it possible to make a .tsk-file with a "total" black interface? Like henftling's colorscheme..?
It's quite dead here now..
*bump bump*
one of the problems with UITweaker is that it can be a bit vague which part of the system you are changing the colour of, and then you have to soft reset to check if it looks ok, if not then back into it, change back, soft reset again, back into UIT and try something else.
i want a kinda slate grey / black theme as well, but the ones already made out there are a bit messy and you end up with wrong colours here and there, not being able to read things or see notifications.
also i get the feeling that not every aspect of the UI is actually changable, at least in UIT anyways...
it would be great though, we have all these nice finger applications in black / grey and then they all cut back to the dull old Windows white when you want to do something proper.
when will Microsoft hire some graphic designers for a change instead of letting the boffins do it all?

I'm totally agree with you. UITweaker is anoying with the soft-reset crap all the time.. And yes, Microsoft should hire some new graphic-designers.
So.. i know that it exist many programers in this forum, and i don't think it will be that difficult to wright a app. that can change the background color and stuff..
So.. we just have too wait until a programer is reading this thread i guess.. hehe
"also i get the feeling that not every aspect of the UI is actually changable, at least in UIT anyways..."
I used to play with an application like this way back when I had my hp 2210, and the problem then was that not all of the colors of the UI were independently tweakable.
It is probably so with this as well as you can see from henftling's screenshot. The bars for his signal strength have changed to gray as well as his backgrounds. So the same registry entry is controlling two separate parts of the UI, which means no matter how much you play with it you will probably get some unreadable text.
I wish I could find the old software that I used to use, as it was pretty user-friendly and I think it showed you a preview of what you were going to get so you didn't have to reset each time. Sorry, I have searched and searched.
One thing I did find was this: http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/rcmod.shtml . It looks like it gives you some idea of what you are changing before you change it. Perhaps it will help you guys.

It works for EVERYTHING
I don't know the menu option in english, since mine is spanish translated, but should say something like "system improvements", and then go to "colors" tab. That's it.
Hope it helps
I would like some help.
Part of my Prophet screen doesn't work anymore.
This means aligning is hell.
I would like to squeeze some more life out of the thing ...
Especially with guys like Gullum, Cloudifa, and all the other ones ...
I have already found out the registry key is
HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH\Calibration settings
I have only found values for elf, atom and others on the net.
But they are not yet as close to Prophet (atom is OK except for the far right side of the screen (scroll ...)
Could someone please be able to give me the values on their prophet ?
Want to post it instead of messaging directly to keep this on the forum for others.
If I should have missed an earlies posting woth the settings, sorry, please then redirect me.

These values are unique to each device. If every device was the same, there would be no need for this!
From my ROM setup: 1839,1997 3118,684 3126,3328 577,3291 602,690
Thanks !
I know about the unique settings, but with your prophet settings I can try to come closer thn woth settings fora completely different device, and maybe tweak a bit more myself through remot registry editor.
Thanks again!

You need a registry editor. If you just want to realign the screen, hold the windows hardware button and then press the centre d-pad button.

Hello,
Bad luck. I purchased a Hermes 100 but unfortuantely it have the issue of alignment and if i made the hard reset it keep asking again and again for the alignment.
I also try to remove the plastic that make the pressure on the LCD but it don't work for me.
By chance i read the thread that state to bypass the align screen by creating the welcome.not file on the storage card.
I created the file and got a chance to get access to the today screen but the problem not end yet the touch screen is misalligned completly. Now, whenever i try to run the allignment the program keep asking me again and again.
I hear that i may modify the registry settings to manually specify the align values. I installed the reg edit software using the storage card. Can someone tell me what values i enter and where...
It have Windows mobile 5 and IPL is 1.00 and SPL 1.04
Thank you and please help me....
****************************************************************
SOLVED: Whenever i restart now i have to manullay using the keypad goto the align screen in the setting. And the first align when it ask me for the realign i just press the power button and again once again to bring it back from standby and it is aligned automatically!
****************************************************************
Dude, getting a Hermes with alignment problems is not a good idea. It may need to have the LCD replaced, which isn't expensive but ther emay be other underlying problems too.
I don't know how you will fix it through the registry as it will just keep going out of alignment and all it takes is 1 HR then you in trouble again.
Best idea would be to replace the LCD.
Cheers...

I think that there is some issue in the ROM i think so as even if i connect it to the USB it keep charging but don't notify to the Activesync.
I don't know if these is rom issue or something....
Even in the bootloader screen it gives the name as :
HERM100
IPL-100
HERM100
SPL-1.04
Serial. even the USB is connected it keep the word serial on it.
Install Hard SPL then change rom...
Sorry, for my ideot question.
Do i am able to install hard SPL using memory card. And also it will save my current rom too or not. As i am scare if it got stuck on the align screen again?
It could be aligned by REGEDIT
Mmmmmm let me search the regs to be modded
and I will posted here... but your problem i more like hardware even if the align screen can be aligned your touch wont be fixed...
or not?
The key and settings are:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH]
"CalibrationData"="1922,1957 3330,639 3317,3276 600,3230 609,677 "

Well, these values don't work for me. The only thing that is working for me is the solution that i paste in my question. But the only issue with it is that i have to do it again after every reset.
Do someone have the alignned file for hermes for the Remote screen alignment software?
There is from i get the reg

This drives my crazy: After rotating the screen with gyrator, gsen or manual-button, the HD switches back to manila or any other last used system window.
(There are some posts inside some big threads wich nobody replied, so I start a new one for this bug only...)
This is VERY annoying if you just want to turn the screen for reading or writing a mail...
i dont know if this is the right method to do it.. but
try adding all types of exceptions to the list in gsen window/class etc of your messaging window!
i came across the same problem and this seem to fix it!
try it and let me know if it worked!
what have you added? manila is already added...
sometimes the bug disappears...I added the exeptions, but have to wait some times to see if the effect lasts...But thanks!

im not talking about manilla.. open the window you wish you dont want to rotate.. then hit the home button on your phone. then go to gsen configuration and add all the windows/classes/process of that application!
that should stop the minimizing of that window when rotated.. hopefully!
if someone has a better solution let us know!
? in dont understand. I do want to rotate for example the mail window, so i added all the others to "dont rotate". correct?

yes, same effect + too buggy
It's top bar's icons related problem.
If you uninstall them you should not have that issue.
As described in another thread. This may be caused by colorful icons/battery icon in top bar.
ahhh ok I'll try. Thanks.
Do you know an other way to display some battery percentage?

If you look around, there is atleast two color top bars that do not have this problem. The problem originated from one of the first color top bars (which everyone liked and used), but now just look around and try them till u find one that u like and doesn't have the bug. (i'd give u mine but i can't find the cab for either one) good luck
Please let us know if you find one, and where to get it.
Thanks.
i now use aebuttons plus to show me battery-percentage at a btn-click.
Hello Everyone,
I have used the X1 for around 2 weeks, it's been running fine.
However, few days ago after I have fully charged my X1 using USB cable, I find a very strange thing!
The bottom part of the screen which usually display the "Calendar" and "Contact" is "whitened"!
Although I can still click on them, but I can't see the words.
I tried to change to other panels but the bottom "bar" is still the same, white in color.
Besides, I tried to soft reset my X1 and the problem still there.
Does anyone encounter similar things before? Or I am the only unlucky person???
Merry Christmas and thank you very much!
did you try to do something with the bar??
i use nueNoBar and removed the bar the hardware buttons still work. or you can hard reset your x1.
if you dont want to hard reset try the software.
you can download the software here:
http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/page/nueNoBar.aspx
try to change theme and see if does someting.
I had that when I automatically started emoze with a soft-reset. After doing that manually the problem disappeared. You could see what programs you do run at startup.

Thanks for your reply first ^_^
I changed the theme and remove the background wallpaper, I can see the words............but....seems the words are covered by a very thin white paper (I hope you can understand my meaning)....
Can you recommend a screen capture software so that I can try put the scenario picture here?
Thank you very much!
Ii seems that u r using theme which is not compatible with xperia . use xperia black or silver. in some old programs which are not compatible with wvga screen also show this problem.
