Does anyone know of a way to change the colour of the titlebar icons (speaker, signal strength, clock etc.)? I would like to be able to use a white titlebar background colour, but to do this I would need to change the icon colours to black (or something else dark).
I've looked around all over the place and the only help I can find is how to change the 'Start' text colour, not the icons.
Any help would be appreciated.
I don't think it can be done. I had the same idea and spent quite a while trying to figure it out, registry and themes, but I've never seen anything that would do it.
Please drop me a line if you figure it out!
I think most people would just use WISBar to achieve the same effect.

I was afraid that was going to be the answer
I have been using WisBar with an OS X theme and it looks really good but appears to slow everything down a bit. Oh well, at least I know to stop looking.
Cheers.
I recently purchased the Dopod838pro version of the Hermes. I loaded up a black today theme and the extra black phone skin. Looks fantastic. Only problem is that the bluetooth headset symbol which appears on the phone screen when the BT is attached is also black so I cannot see when it is attached. Anybody know where in the registry I can change the colour of the bluetooth headset icon
I was trying to do the same thing for a black dialer i was modifying. Apparently there is no registry hack - the icon is part of one of the dll's. This has tried to be res hacked but because it is microsoft signed - not possible to resign it. I have checked some of the other forums that design dialers esp buzzdev.net and zombienexus but no fix is apparent yet.
I sort of had a fix with a small apple logo in right hand corner to match appleblack theme but still not quite acceptable.
"Bugger" as they say here on the Toyota ads.
Bluetooth icon
Just wanted to see if anyone has figured out a way to change the bluetooth icon when talking on the phone. I have seen really nice vista style BT icons out there and want to know if anyone knows how to change them...
There has to be a really simple way to simply change the icon to something other than black... Seeing all of the ingenius mod's done on xda dev's someone must be able to accomplish this tiny mod. Right?
Bluetooth headset icon
Still no solution?
Hi everyone, I have attatched a screenshot of a theme i found on a "concept phone" shown on MSmobiles... I really like the theme and was wondering,
Does anyone know how to make the bars transparent ( as they appear to be in this theme)
and also whether the clocks and menus on the thing are known programs..
also which Font is used... unfortunately i don't recognise it.
Cheers

Hey guys, after gettings my hands on Wisbar Advance Desktop 2 and seeing how powerful it was in theming just the way I wanted, I thought I would make some themes.
I will put the themes I make up here in case anybody likes them so they can use them themselves (any donations would be appreciated).
Before I begin though, a note:
Most of my themes will be minimalist, I like to maximise functionality out of the minimal things on the screen, usually I prefer to see the wallpaper and my themes will focus on this.
The theme I am going to put here is a conceptual idea I had today where I thought that the signals I need can easily be displayed in a "different" way. It's not entirely new, but I have not seen it done like this for a phone theme before.
Anyway, here is my first version of this theme, a couple hours work, and is basic and simple, but i like it for that.
Each Orb or circle represents a signal, from largest to smallest:
Teal: Missed Calls
Yellow: New SMS
Maroon: New Email
Light Green: Wifi ON
Blue: Bluetooth ON
When the orbs/circles are empty, there is no missed call/sms/email and wifi/BT are off. When the colour is visible, there are.
Each can be clicked and will take you to the corresponding item:
Teal: Missed call list
Yellow: SMS list
Maroon: Email Inbox
Light Green: Toggle WIFI ON/OFF
Blue: Toggle Bluetooth ON/OFF
The top left blue circle shows the start menu
Top right blue circle has battery value, and will take you to the battery page (FIXED)
The wallpaper here is just a solid colour, but could be replaced with any colour or image you like.
The orbs/circles can be moved anywhere you like on the screen in any shape or pattern, simply and easily.
EDIT: FIXED: Battery Icon now takes you to battery power page.
EDIT2: OK, this will be the final version for now (until I receive requests). I have added transparency to the circles, I have added a clock, changed the colours for some nicer ones and have also made a landscape version. (Havn't shown screeners because it's practically the same thing). The wallpaper (that may be included) is just a generic general image from the phone, the idea of this theme is that you pick your own wallpaper, so you should change this, and not wonder why it has an aweful one included. Again, if you like, please feel free to donate.(Link in my sig)
NOTE: You may find that the mail icon doesn't link correctly on your phone. That is because on my phone it is linked to "Gmail". You should edit the script for the mail link (maroon one) and in its script you will find "\Windows\tmail.exe -service 'Gmail'". Change the bit in quotes to link your correct account (either what ever you named it, or "ActiveSync" if you're using the Hotmail/Outlook sync. If you use more than one, just remove everything after "\Windows\tmail.exe" and you will be taking to "Messaging"
Nice idea mate,
will check it out when it's done.
Very nice. It's good to see someone thinking away from the "We have to interact with some boxes inside of other boxes" mentality. Down with square buttons!
Thank you.
Thank you for the kind words, I have updated now after working on it all day, and made what will for now be a final version.
Let me know if you download and have any feedback. Bear in mind, as I said, I won't be adding _too much_ more to these because the whole idea was to be minimalist.
That looks really clever, although I think I'd keep getting distracted by the pretty lady!
Hmm very nice idea about circle but i have better idea to turn girl to front face and for first "bubi" assing sms and second "bubi" for new e-mail ) , and if message arrive all bubi start shaking. lol i need this for my today screen.
Hehe
Well, fortunately for those that might get distracted, the pretty lady doesn't come with my theme, I just saw her in the theming thread and thought I'd try it as my wallpaper. You can of course put any wallpaper you like, which is the idea of this theme. The "bubi" idea is a nice one, put it tempts me to make the kind of theme that one shouldn't see before the 9 o clock watershed, so I'll refrain.
I love the minimalist approach - clean and stylish, just the way I like it. Keep it up!
Hi team!
I just got the Essential yesterday and am really enjoying it. One problem I'm having is after applying a theme to my lockscreen notifications using substratum I'm unable to find a matching black lockscreen wallpaper. Everything I try is making it slightly more gray than the notification backgrounds and I really want it to just be black. Applying the same background in the home screen does look like the black I'm looking for - it's just the lockscreen giving me the issue so I don't think another pure black wallpaper will do the trick.
Try this.
It was created with a editor and is as black as you can get.
You will need to zoom to get it to cover the whole screen. Otherwise you get a thin gray bar at the bottom.
