Who wants the default WM5 Blue theme? - HTC Excalibur

I flashed my S620 back to WM5, copied off the Blue Windows Default XML theme & JPG, renamed to stop it clashing with WM6.
Now i've reflashed back to WM6 and have my old default blue theme, including the WM6 gradient effects on the soft buttons etc.
It looks pretty good if you're not a fan of the new pale green theme.
Enjoy.

I'm actually looking for just color schemes
(*.scheme.xml)
this bright HTC green is getting annoying but I like the layout of the HTC home screen...

New SlidingPane color schemes for Kavana WM6.1 ROM

I will start this topic to put your imagination to another direction - color scheme.
Its really so simple to make another color scheme to cool SlidingPane theme. Just make some colors with photoshop or simple color picker and if you wont some cool wallpaper and thats all.
This is my first color cheme. The wallpaper is based on default scheme, but with hue I make it blue and the all scheme is blue too. I like this blue because is darker - like the blue light on the s620 buttons, and the combination is fine for me
Just extract these two files in \Application Data\Home folder and change the color scheme to "Another blue"
If you make your own theme, please just upload it here, to share with us.
NICE WORK!!
Black
Hi, here's the black scheme taken from last version of Kavana's.
Enjoy.
ratatouille, they need black_LS.gif file from windows dir too to see the wallpaper.
Here it is black theme based on green one:
I only had this file and modified my screen with base hue and I had a tone of black more black than the original scheme, kind of like it. You should try, looks shiny.
Awesome Dude
Littleclown, you are the man, awesome, beautiful dude. I'm using basehue Gold with the blue........!
Another dark scheme, this time with some cool skulls on the wallpaper.
Thanks, you guys are awesome!
A user over on the Vox forums has already done much of the work on this. Check it out at this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=376552
They work great using the new Kavana 6.1 ROM on my 'Dash.'
Yes this is not a bad idea.
But this schemes uses so simple gradient wallpaper...
If you wont something else - use some free wallpapers, a little tunning with photoshop and emagination... I will try to make some more schemes these days, but everybody can post here schemes.

Doesnt the new rom have a hue color changer installed? or was that the chinese version?
Yes it does. Just doesn't have the shortcut in Start folder. Now my blue matches
I use the black color theme with this as my wallpaper, works out pretty well imo.
edit1: actually it exceeded the forum limit, let me upload it somewhere\

Orange TouchFlo with draggable analog clock!

Hi there!
I've installed the Orange (Provider) TouchFLO Theme on my Diamond with the draggable analog clock. But it's not that complete as i hoped, especially the Taskbars are black instead of inverted like on the attached pic!
Does anyone have the original UK ORANGE ROM?
from where can i get?
You Can find it in the Themes Thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409901
I dont think orange uk have that theme.
mine and a lot of others came from orange with the
normal htc black theme on them.
orange uk had problems with there theme so i heard.
OK, but i've already seen screens of a english version of the orange rom. Has anybody have an idea how to get this rom?
that clock is from france
it not for the u.k...yet any how
OK, thanks.
Is there ANY English Version of the Orange TouchFLO ROM?
Im beginning to ask myself the question of why you would want such an ugly TF3D on your phone.
When i signed up for the orange version of the Diamond, i was hoping and praying that it was HTC original which it seems to be, but i have just enquired to Orange about the possibility of a 1.93 update, and the programmers who called me back said there is one coming, but no release date at the moment.
I assume by their comments that the update will include the TF3D version that they had problems with in the 1.37 original rom. So if you really want it bad enough, then wait for that 1.93 update.
The skin of the taskbar is from the .tsk Today theme. So you may not need a complete ROM change but just the tsk file.
Regards,
Carty..
Have you got an idea WHERE i can get a tsk file that is white / grey like on the pic AND is inverting the Icons on it!
go into your settings and click on today icon.
check if any of the availble themes are orange tsk
as you might have to change it seperately.
worth a try anyway.
if not get a french rom from here and extract tsk theme file and
manilla icon files.
Been searching for that for a long long time.. Couldn't find it.. Only with a styling software, but that will not invert the icons. I think I tried some SPB software (or Wisbar Advance), but it became ugly and icon colours were still white. RC Mod is also a program to edit the bar colors, but it has limited color selection.

Are the top and bottom bars part of the Windows theme? If I go into Start > Settings > Personal > Today and select the Windows Green theme then go back to my home screen the bottom and top bars are green with touchflo showing as normal HTC theme. Surely you just need to install a theme with silver bars and use that as the windows theme along with your orange touchflo theme?
I've never seen a single silver theme for wm6, all you can get is a dark grey taskbar.

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
It is a custom pack.... and it addresses some things that should have been done in the first place In my opinion...
THIS WILL NOT WORK ON ANY MANILA v2/v3 ROMS SO IF YOU USE DUTTY's ROMS... DO NOT TRY THESE FILES.
Let me know what you think of it... and any feedback for enhancements....

Thanks all...Please give your feedback and thoughts for any other enhancements,,
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
Thanks

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.

No. ALS.. Here in the UK.. old customers could have 2 telephone lines/contrcts/numbers on 1 sim.
Line 1 / Line 2
No longer available.. but those of us still got it.. we can keep it. simply press # to switch lines for outgoing calls.
incoming calls come through on both regardless of which is selected.

[REQ] HTCMenus.bmp color change

I am a complete noob at anything photoshop. Can any of the artistic talents here, modify the htcmenus.bmp file for any of the new Maila ROM's and get rid of the bright green with a softer color like a gray or silver or dark blue -somthing more subtle. I tried some of the similar file for other phones but it messes up the menus, I assume the menu widths are different or something and I couldnt find this mod for the HD.
Thanks much.

Why isn't the notification bar black to? wouldn't that help also?
yeah. thanks going to work on it now
It is my understanding that with a LCD screen that is back-light (such as your phone, and any LCD screen that I am aware of) black is harder on the battery because it has to block the most light from passing through the film. Therefore, you are having the opposite effect you desire, white would be the most efficient (or some other bright color) as it has to use less energy to darken the screen and can allow more of the back light to shine through. But I don't know everything...
i see...... i will create an all white theme for you guys than
But black looks better! My phone is decked out in black and blue, white would be god-awful to look at (even the stock grey is obnoxious). So, I say, continue on your quest for a black based theme, but instead of calling it energy efficient, just call it black.
Check this article out for some details to the power usage differences between CRT's and LCD's.
its funny... i have an all black background some apps and i turn my brightness all the way down to have it as dark as possible... mind you i have a white g1... haha
i see.. i will change the post's name if i can.... i create custom themes if you want me to create a theme just for tell me maybe we can work out a deal
