Start Button/Taskbar/NavBar Color?

does anybody know how to:
1) disable/change the gradient color of navbar
2) disable/change the gradient the start button when pressed
??
I've been messing with both Microsoft\Color\SHColor & GWE\SysColor but still couldnt find anything that'd affect the white gradient

Did you use the App i linked?
i use it and i have wm6 as well..
you can change about anything with this...

oh yes Ive tested it. It's basically what I've been playing with in syscolor, only difference being it is easier to edit in uitweak as I don't have to find the hex in syscolor blob. It still doesnt do what I want
I want to get rid of the following white gradient....it might even be a bitmap overlay...:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Also, I'd love to get rid of the start button text, as well as app titles on the task/navbar. So far I haven't found any solution in system level. I know this can be done in the code level.

Modify HTC Home Screen

I like parts of the HTC Home Screen but there are portions of SPB Mobile Shell that I like better.
I would like to combine the two like the following screenshot.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I have gotten so I can put the SPB Mobile Shell plugin at the bottom (see screenshot below) but I can't figure out if it is possible to remove part of the HTC Homescreen Plugin.
Does anyone know if this is possible OR if their are plugins that will mimic the Clock and the Notification bar? If it will take a lot of work I wouldn't mind donating hosting or funds.

mot possilbe. at present there's no way to change the size of text or the items that are part of it, that's hardcoded into the dlls. Only thing that cn change is the fonts and icons
Now, you could taken it down to one tab by using either HTC Home Customizer or the newer versions of it add a nother tab in settings > today control panel. So you can take it down to the HOME tab only, that will leave you with what you want (but the House icon is still there, that's the best I can do...)

Don't know where to tell you to look but its here somewhere can't remember where I got it. I use HTC Plus instead of the Home Plug here it is with MobileShell

well then is it possible to create a custom today plugin like HTC Home?

you may want to check out rlToday, there are some really great skins for it. there are even some HTCHome inspired ones; just check out the rlToday forums.

Thanks - this is very useful!

Changing top icon colors.

I need some help. I am trying to put some stuff together to make my phone cool but I need to know if I can change the color of some of the icons on the top bar? You can see in my screenshot what I need.

}

This is really cool man. rltoday ?
The Icons are graphics and you can found them in windowsFolder. think you have to change the colors of the graphics an then put it back in windows folder.

Yes, it is rltoday running inside UltimateLaunch. Soon as I get it all figured out I will post everything.

I can not find these icons in the windows folder. What names should I be looking for?

They are at the Windows dir

Look for the bmp files in the Windows directory, some of them are gprs.bmp, gprs_snc_PPC.bmp, gprs_connect.bmp

i see u like the styling of Bell&Ross lol

Yes, I do like the styling of Bell&Ross. I made the skin for Retro clock and just kept on going.

Thanks for everyones help but tracking down those icons is not as easy as it sounds. So I decided to go a new direction using Wisbar Advance Desktop.

Wow, nice job with the design... looks great.

nice! this was your best option as the signal bars take the background color, so even if you found the required icons, you'd need to change your background for your windows to blue in order to get everything to match.

you cant find the icons because there are none. to edit the colors of the signal bars, data arrows, etc.. you have to edit .dll files. i cant remember which .dll files off the top of my head but i think one of them is tapre96.dll somethin like that. use reshacker to edit the .dll files

some questions about home customization

1) Is it possible to change date position? I would move it to the same bar of operator logo? (as the arrow indicates)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2) is it possible to change the colour of this 2 windows mobile bars? It would be great to make them transparent
3) can I change the default operator logo
with a much colored one like this one on this pic? (yes I know is an iphone screencap )

same here. i think the date looks better at the top left as it was on the diamond. unfortunately, i have no idea how to change this though.

You can change the clock using cabs that were made for the Diamond, not sure about any of the other things. Maybe it's possible to edit some of the manila files.

Where did you get the cab for the transparent clock?

you cannot make the wm bars tranasparant that i have seen. You can change their color my using a theme in WM (not to be confused with a theme in the TF3D app).

I've the same question's
now is it possible?

sorry for thread diggig, any solutions yet? i'm figuring how to move the date up

Changing Operator Logo.
Steps to change Operator Logo:
1.Find 256x64.png file in your windows folder and edit it with your own logo.
2.Replace the original file with the modified one (Use Resco File Explorer).
3.Restart.
Find the attached image, i changed my STARHUB logo to my name.

Would really like to know how to move the date too!! Its much better up the top!

Hi shamsul,
but I can't found that "256x64.png" file.......

[REQUEST] Transparent Springpad Widget 2.2.3

(I hope this is the right section, but if it isn't, would a mod please move it to the right place?)
So a while back, I found a transparent version of the Genie weather widget (standard google weather widget). I was wondering if the same modification would be possible to the springpad application, specifically the small widget (there's three different sizes). It's very useful and all, but the blue color scheme is just obnoxious. I was wondering if someone would be able to make and/or upload a modified version of the springpad small widget so the background would be transparent.

::This is what it looks like right now.

you need to get the resource or drawable that is the background of the widget (use apktool and other tools to decompile) then modify it so that it is transparent in photoshop or some other image editor. then save it and recompile with apktool or other tool.

Wait, what? Sorry. I have no experience whatsoever in these matters. My knowledge of android is limited to flashing roms and apps.
That's why I'm requesting that someone do it for me. Because I guarantee 100% I'll screw it up, if I can even get it to work.

Again, nothing you said in your first post makes any sense to me.
There's a reason it's called a REQUEST.
