I'm not a fan of the glossy bars on my Schaps ROM, does anyone know how to remove them? It seems that all the posts related to glossy bars present themselves as people who want glossy bars instead.
Help would be appreciated as I've been hacking the registry for hours with no avail...
if you remove the glossy bars they will return to appearing flat (no bubble effect).. some themes out there achieve this. i usually delete those themes cuz i like the 3d bubble effect.

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.

Hi i was thinking of upgrading to mobile 5.0. Just a question, is it still possible to install the iphone theme? the one that makes use of wisbar etc...? Or do we have to use the themes uploaded specifically to use with our mobile 5.0?
Yes, it is possible.
Check this links:

Thanks. I have one question, that link you posted for me, the one with the iphone theme and the white top and bottom bars. After installing, the color looks reall dull and the top and bottom bar is dark brown in color and not white.
Is there any other programs i need to install? I installed some themes and all of the colors looks really dark. Is that normal for a BA? Does it have to do with what display i've got? QVGA? VGA?
Honestly, I dont know. I have win 2003 on my blue angel, and that themes pack is not working on my phone. Maybe someone have more experience with the problem you are facing...
There are quite a lot of them in the Wisbar forums:

thanks. Anybody managed to get the full iphone theme to work? I cant get the big iphone icons to work but managed to get the dialing screen and the top and bottom bars.

This theme here. The today screen just wouldn't change for some reason.
To force the top/bottom bars to glossy black, look in the Windows folder on your device and launch JJ's basehue.exe, then as if by black magic.......

lol i know i was hoping you'd be our Miracle or something and figure out how to do it
the status bar is not transparent. Its a mockup of a transparent notification bar by taking the top portion of the picture and laying it over with a glass finish and then using that as the stus bar. If you do it right and line it up perfectly it will look perfect

making the statusbar transparent is easy, it's just impossible to make the background go all the way up to the top of the screen behind it, so all you see is a black space at the top.
but ****in awesome theme!! lovin it!
it looks freaking awesome, but being the critic i am, and after using fade to blue wich damnitpud still deems imperfect, i have a few minor suggestions.
resize the image you used for the wallpaper to make it a little taller, and then litterally cut the top few pixels to be used as the status bar, don't feel like cracking open my theme right now to see how big the status par png is but you know what i am talking about i'm sure, that way rather than the image getting more and more off as you go left or right of the center it would look a little cleaner.
also either the status bar backgound image is a little offcenter or the wallpaper is, i am not sure but the center line does not line up in your mockup.
and keep in mind that even if you pefect the status bar to line up with the wallpaper it will only be lined up on the center desktop and not the others.
praise:
i like the wallpaper being split in two because when you go to the left or right desktop it will only show the peace side or the war side, kinda cool. but just make sure the pic is lined up perfectly center.
good luck and keep up the good work

whered you find that wallpaper? thats an awesome wallpaper, i have the day/night one like that..
