Font Color on The Wing, HTC Home Plugin

Hi, I recently got the wing and I've been doing a lot of changes to my wing, one thing I can't seem to find anywhere is if there is a way to change the font color on the wing(such as start on top and calendar and contacts on bottom) and/or change the font color for the HTC Home Plugin media player(It's light blue), the HTC Home plugin I got is from the Touch_It full version.
I also seem to have a problem with the cube from the touchflo that came from Touch_It full version too, it opens up when you press the touchflo button then motion from bottom middle of screen to top, but I can't close it sliding from top to bottom instead it closes when I slide my thumb from bottom to top again and after wards it can't open up no more, the animation when I try to bring back the cube is it closing from then on

Running a search on this site provided this :
Change HTC home clock colors!!
Try sliding your finger from left to right instead and see if the cube comes up that way.

my clock color is white which matches the white font on my wing but the HTC Home plugin music player font is in light blue when active which messes up the whole matching thing lol if i cna't change that I would chnage clock color + wing font color
the cube after first time i bring it down can rotate left and but can never be brought up again lol is there a way to fix it?

Check this out !!!
I think this is what you're looking for.

Yeah with RC mod you can change it to whatever color you like. You don't have to keep it white. You go to Font color and change Today Font color.

Okay. Well I tried.

Does anyone have a resolution for this? I really want to change the font and color of the song title, artist, etc.. on the Music tab of the HTC Home screen. The light blue is driving me crazy.

Remove the HTC Player you installed.
Install thishttp://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-htc-audio-manager-v1-2-515-718.html
If that doesn't work..Download the HTC Customizer, run it, and download the Audio Manager through it. Thats how I got mine. Black theme, default player, and everything.

Did this work for anyone? I have exactly the same version installed with my Custom ROM and it is still blue. There is no way to installed because it was part of the ROM. Will new install overwrite the old files? Thanks for your help.
On the same note, has anyone been able to figure out how to change the way time is displayed "within the Music tab of the Home". Mine is always showing "time remaining", and I would prefer to see "time elapsed". I am able to change it in the Audio Manager, but the changes don't effect the plugin for Home. Please help!

[THE] [17/09/08] "Black & xColor" by Elvelynn

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

Any program that can change Status Bar Backgound Color

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...
but have u tryed changing the WM Theme?
Start->Settings->Today-> click a WMTheme (HTC Black) -> ok
choose a different one than u have now... then u can go back to the one u want to have..
hope this helps...

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?

Any way to change font colour on Home Screen?

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,
Brad

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

Changing the text color of the top right + home button

I really don't know the terminology, as I'm new to Android, but I'd like to change the color from light blue to a green at the top right (where it shows the battery, wifi etc.), how can I go about doing that? (I'm rooted)
Also, the center button at the very bottom of the phone, that brings you to the apps (circle with dots inside), how can I change that icon? I have Nova + MIUI icons, but I didn't see it in there.
Any help is appreciated!

I was able to change the launcher icon (Nova had this built in, just touched and held the icon to change it to whatever I wanted).
Still trying to figure out how to change the status bar icon colors.

Those colors are baked into framework-res.apk. What you need is either a ROM that supports themes or an themed ROM. Alternatively you could try the Ultimate Online Theme Kitchen, but I'm not sure if it supports 4.2.

Actually just tried editing one of those files and putting them back on (systemUI.apk). It crashed, then when it rebooted it worked (image changed).
