Black Glass Bars in WM6?? - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development

Alright.. I have been playing with themes once again and thought someone here may be able to answer some questions for me.. Here's what I've got so far..
I have noticed black themes in WM6 acting a bit odd in WM6 (remaining flat without the new WM6 glass effect) Attached image below..
I recently put Tweaks2k2 back on my device and was playing with the WM5 colors.. I placed the slider on Black and boom.. Sweet black bars..
I also went back to the color key in the reg and noticed that nothing had changed.. BaseHue value still remained at 443 = Purple and all other values were still unaffected by all changes. Color or grayscale..
So I guess my question is what values is Tweaks2k2 changing to make these black bars.. I would like to make some new themes..
Any thoughts?

It is obviously a config issue. You can't have some colours glassy and some other not. For example, I had this cool Blue theme. Both top and bottom where glassy, however after upgrading to LVSW's newest ROM all of the sudden the top bar is flat while the bottom one is glossy still.
Damn.

With every WM6 Flavor I've been able to achieve this by changing the hklm\software\microsoft\color\basehue value to 160.
I generally use the Guava Bubbles theme then change the basehue reg key, red background and black glassy bars, I think it looks pretty spiffy.

Hi, I dont know if you seen my thread on the true glossyblack in the reg hermes forum, but I was lookin how to achieve the glossy black.
You say you wanna make some new themes, what theme making software do you have? I have thememakerx nad thememker by mcdeb though Im not able to use them if you're interested, pm me(to Jakaroe808 only).
I haven't a clue what sets the glossy, if you take apart a mono black theme, and read the .ini in it, you should be able to get the values from there on the colors, but I dont know what is settin or removing the glossy, I was thinkin it was a setting in the .ini too for the glossy since some other themes lose the gloss too, but too many work on wm6 with gloss for it to be a setting in the .ini, I think.
Like I said, I haven't a clue, its all speculation, and Im not sure if either of those theme apps will directly modify the theme .ini or read it.
excuse my babbling, I do tend to run on

Edited:: you are correct, I was going by the screenshots, and it looked darker to me, but after instaling tweaks2k2 I see it does just set it to 160.
Maybe Im just overly picky, and it may not even be possible, but there is still a slight gray hue in the middle of the black bar, and it can be seen even more evident when for example one of the black glossy dialers is being used.
Thing is still, is not making it a true true black with the gloss, UItweaker sets em to solid black like the solid black themes have been, and it goes flat too.

Thanks much.. I have not tried using the 160 value but I guess that is all I need to know.. I was just confused because I had the black bars but the basehue value still remained 443.. Thanks..
I also use Thememaker X and then ThemeGenCE along with WinCE CabManager.
I have never used thememaker by mcdeb but it looks like a nice app..

another quick question.. OK the 160 value works although if I load the value into a tsk (manually in Cab manager) it gets rejected.. If I switch to the new theme the bars go black for a second and then gray.. If I check the reg the value is 123.. ??? why would the device reject the value?

Nevermind.

Well.. No.. But it looks like you have a nice WA setup there.. I was referring to the default WM6 interface themes..

I gotcha. I forgot about that registry tweak trick.

I decided to play with ThemeGenCE a bit and managed to make glassy black bars etc. I did, however, have to set the BaseHue to 160 in the registry. I kinda messed with the wmbe.tsk as a base so I won't post it since it belongs to someone else.

I have wondered about this too.
I like a theme in WM5 called Cyclic Black Bars (I think it was part of Molski's ROM package for Wizard) - very shiny black bars - when I install it in WM6 either on Wizard or my Tilt, it's shiny black bars alright, but no 3-D effect. When I look at that Registry value hklm\software\microsoft\color\basehue it is 123 as you noticed above.
I tried editing this theme in ThemeGenCE. I have not been successful in modifying it so the bars have 3-D. Maybe you would have more success as you are more experienced by far - I'm just starting to play with this.
I know this thread was real old so I don't know if any of you all will notice this - hope so.

[how to] Make wm5 themes

ok well ive noticed alot of people like the classic theme and im one of them! so i hope mr meschle will create wonderful colors of them! i tried doing it myself and the background always comes out awful.. i want to keep that classic windows 5 backgroud you know the one with the flag and stuff. well mark has made some wonderful colors.. green/red/purple but can you either give us a step by step guide on how you do it or make tons of colors? like yellow/orange/sky blue/deep blue/royal.. etc
im still using the green one and love it.. i switch back and forth between your purple and the mocked green windowsmobile theme
Re: wm5 *true* themes
Probably easiest way to create true wm5 themes is use 'wm5 template.tsk' or 'wm5 template color bars.tsk'(attached - unzip) and replace stwater.gif with your own one using ThemeGenCE http://www.codeppc.com/telechargements/themegence/themegence.htm - thanks BenThon for the great thememaker.
Note stwater image examples are 320x320 in size - this seems to be the default size of all the new microsoft wm5 themes, even with the new HTC_default.tsk. (Tytn theme)
Most of these themes use stwater only and leave tdywater.gif out. There is no need for both files anymore unless you want a different start menu compared to the today screen. (Stwater only themes are smaller in size too)
If you want to use image higher than 256 colors use jpg or png format and then rename extension to gif - it works! (jpg gives a smaller file)
With themegen you have to ignore a bit what's on the main preview as that is meant for wm2003 but there is a wm5 preview that is more accurate except the wm5 color keys+ are not rendered.
Next change colors of title and soft key bars etc...(With Wm5 main theme colors are now mainly determined by basehue) - best option is to deselect all the normal color selections (in the templates already deselected) and use base hue color value (click Wm5 - create BaseHue Key for the theme) or choose navigation bar color 1 and this will determine the base hue color. Then you can add key colors that are specific for your theme.
If you can't get the color you want for title or soft key bars (eg brown does not show as brown on the normal selection) use Wm5 - keys+ - Color_SoftkeyFlatCentre and Color_TitleFlatCenter. Use 'Wm5 template color bars.tsk' as a template for this kind of theme.
To change image color e.g. windows default wm5 theme
Using ThemeGenCE version 1.7.0.0 select - 'choose\modify images' icon and the use the hue slider to determine color, tweak with RGB, gamma and light/dark and your done. Save image.
Or use Xnview for pc. http://perso.orange.fr/pierre.g/xnview/endownloadwin32.html or other photo editor and tweak the stwater.gif of the theme. Click image - change to true color. Then click adjust - hue\lightness\saturation and presto you can change the color at will mainly using the hue slider. Then you can simply change to red or another color. Save to file - choose 256 colors.
EXAMPLES BELOW OF WHAT CAN BE ACHIEVED BY SIMPLE CHANGING OF HUE COLOR OF THE IMAGE AND CHANGING BASE HUE OF THE THEME.
New dark blue theme added (my favorite) and Wm green theme is an updated version as is new Wm_black theme
EDIT Updated wm_green and wm_purple themes. Originals were not totally right - new ones are based on one base hue key only and are superior
EDIT2 Added wm_black2 theme as black seems to be popular - this based on base hue and wm5 key+ values.
New Wm_Orange theme added
if u were a girl id make sweet sweet love to you. awsome now im gonna make 300000000000000000 different colors lol thanks a load !

Water droplets blue Wm5 theme
This theme has to be classed as true wm5 theme - its stwater only (320x320) and only one basehue registry key. (i.e. color for title and soft key bars) Image saved in png format, resolution (true color) and renamed gif to make the theme. All the other colors are handled by wm5.
Theme made with ThemeGenCE courtesy of BenThon.
EDIT 5/9 added Color_highlight and '34' wm5 keys to give better highlights and improved theme.
6/9 Water droplets orange theme added
Excellent work guys, keep 'em comin'!

True Mobile 5 themes
I have a thread started in regards to dialer skins titled - "Tired of your ugly dialer skin" I hate the tmobile dialer skin!
Anyways, I have started creating some true windows mobile 5 themes, which will also contain matching dialer skins and ringtones, smart dialer skins, etc
I got tired of downloading "windows mobile 5" themes, that were really only for 2003 and below.
For mobile 5 themes, there are 2 different sets of registry values! One is the old CE registry values set, which in general work fine. The other set changes features unique to windows mobile 5 OS. You will notice the difference when you install a theme, but some features still have remnants of your old theme.
Anyways, glad to see there are others out there trying to get some themes up!
Thanks, Jess

I agree Jess, but if you look at the inf file of the water droplets theme you will see there are none of the old values, they are not essential unless you want to tweak your wm5 theme. It only has one color reference in the theme and thats the base hue value. The microsoft wm5 themes seem to have some of these old color values but i cannot see that they make any difference in say the guava bubbles tsk.
here is the inf file

the baseHue key is great for shifting the existing theme layout to another color. I'm setting up completely unique color schemes by changing all the reg keys that matter...
by the way, any one know what reg key changes the highlight color (i.e. when in start menu or text messages) I either seemed to have forgotten, or my wizard is being stuborn to my reg changes.
thanks, jess

I have tried all of them jess - none seem to shift the highlight color - it seems to be determined by the base hue color and if you have not specified a base hue color wm5 picks the closest base hue color based on your title bar color (navigation bar color 1 - selection 5 in themegen) and hence highlight color.
I hope you understand that - if you find a key let me know :wink:
EDIT Try the highlight key in the wm5 key+ section
Looking forward to your wm5 theme posts - hopefully we can leave the thread dedicated to these.

My CHome must be bad, whatever color I select the transparent panel on the sliding panels are always blue. Now that I'm trying to switch away from a blue theme I got this annoying blue semi transparent square.
I even tried to edit the Sliding panel XML file and it is set to transparent yet it comes out blue.
I installed the CHome slim 2 version but I always get the darn blue. Can anyone help me please?

Sounds like you have nrg's blue panels, try installing a different dll file to change the panels back to transparent or whatever variation you want.
I tried, don't know what happened there.
I ended up resetting the phone, now it works, just gotta spend 3 hours to get everything where it was, what a pain...

Hi all.
I've been working on this...aswell as panels...and 15 tabs..and other bits here and there.... to create a Tidy up of the TF3D

Hopefully you will see, the changes I have made, you can only see as they are pointed out.. but only when put against a stock version will it really show!
As a good tester... bring your HD up with the same page as you are looking at as my pics... then look at changes,, subtle... but better
Right.. Here are the first 2 cabs.
As with everything in TF3D.. turn off TF3D.. and copy/backup all your _manila files from \Windows to your PC. This way.. you always have a return/system restore point.
Manila Core Pack..Install 1st
and then choose one of these
Manila Orange Pack With Background
Manila Orange Pack without Background
and install it second

First of all, great job.. I've kind of come to expect this level of work in your releases. Looks simply fantastic!
Now, here's my suggestion: can you provide the option for users to set their own wallpaper before installation - and keep it across all tabs? What I mean - the upcoming .cab would take the Today's wallpaper and, upon installation, set it as the default for all tabs.
Or - a little variant - in case that a single 800x480 .png file is present in the installation cab's folder, take it and set it as a wallpaper across all tabs.
That would allow for some level of personal touch...
Great work, anyway. Looking forward to see in on my HD.
Ethan
Wow, great work!!
Trust me, that are no small changes, I see them immediately.
What I would personally like:
Indeed a couple of cabs, for example, I would like to have all these changes, except the coloured top icon bar and the background.
For me it would be difficult to change back to original background in all tabs.
Furthermore, the orange theme is really really nice.
You say that this theme will have an option to change colour, does that work ok?
One last thing: in the "orange" theme, did you color it all? For example, also the volume up color, loading bars, etc etc?

Hi...
The ability to embed the background from a pic.. is something i cannot do.
There is nothing stopping someone else writing a prog to do this though...
simpley write the header to a _manila file.. read in the pic... write it into the new _manila and then write in the footer and save the _manila to the right name into the \windows dir.
Would take some coding.. but i'm sure some guys here can do it.
The only thing i can do is make the 2 packs.. and have them so you install the
Core pack with all transparancy and tidy ups..
colour pack - orange / purple / Xperia.
This would be the easiest way..
otherwise you will get
top bar
bottom bar
message icon
mail icon
phone icons comm manager
phone icons settings..
and so on... it would be a real long winded thing to do.
let alone the inability to support all these things
I could create the colour packs (which do colour the volume and progs like mp3 trimmer.. and the highlight bars...) without the background change.. so if you have your own bg files.. they will remain.
i will however put in the new fix i made for the bg Strip problem.
(93 downloads.. so i guess ppl needed it)
(i am working on how to set highlight colours to match in explorer.. I have them done. but i need an easier way)
I am also making the dialer that matches.. so a thin orange shadow behind each button... on a black bg
hope this helps..
thanks for the feedback guys.

I think what you guys need is this editor. It's simple to use. Just install in storage card and use it to make your top, bottom or curtain fully transparent.
P/S: I install to Device because I have to re-install it whenever I upgrade or Hard reset. Dont know why.

Those Black bars (glossy button effect) is part of the Dusk WM6.5 theme. You will not be able to install this on your stock HTC ROM (AFAIK)

I feel your frustration. It seems nobody can read anymore (or at least takes the time to read fully)
Everyone here is off on a tangent trying to tell you how to make your curtains transparent LOL

LOl quite often the case in these forums Ive noticed, all to eager to help
Anyway back on track CLYDEB1 you seem to know your stuff, I have the dusk theme installed I have the 2.1 version with no problems although I do not have the same bottom bars as in the above pic (soft keys) is this because of 2.1 ?
Not a real concern...just a more of a complete look for Dusk with those

You need to install Dusk 6.5 Theme.zip as well.
Unzip the file and add the contents to \My Documents\Themes\Dusk (make sure it reads this way only - no lower level or will not work) and then go to Today settings and select one of the themes. It works well on R9 (no issues with Manila 2.1). Do not change the background picture however to those included in the theme as this causes these black bars to be duplicated.
There are some added benefits of this theme, it changes the scroll bars to a nice glossy black and changes the highlights in most screens from that terrible green which makes it impossible to read the contents to a nice deep black.

True, but I knew that the poster is also on Dutty 6.5 R9, but yes for others it does only work on 6.5
Thanks.

You can try with nuenobar1.3 or 2.0, it depends on your ROM I think. For me (TouchHD and WM6.5 ROM) it doesn't work... Maybe you can have more chance.

If you are on WM6.5 try the Dusk theme from my link posted above. It works.
I already have Dusk Theme and it's ok.
I'm sorry I thought that the topic of this thread was the cancelation of the Black Bottom Bar... And I suggested NueNoBar 1.3 or 2.0. It's a mistake, sorry.

No problem. It is not that clear I guess as to whether the OP wants to add or remove the bars. I assumed as they are running on the standard ROM that is was to add rather than remove the bars???

Can anyone made the keyboard white?

Can anyone made the keyboard white with the dark theme? It would be nice, don't yall think?

Edit the Registry here
I've actually tried this and there isn't a perfect way of accomplishing it. Changing the registry also changes other colors throughout the system and makes it strange looking. For example: the registry tweak in the thread the poster above me linked, has a tweak for the keyboard, but it is for the background color of the board. This color is also used for all the little sub menus (the things with the "..."). I changed mine to black because it does look better than the default grayish color (I tried changing it to white, but it just contrasts with way to many other things).
