Wasn't quite sure of the correct forum to put this one, so I hope this is all right.
I'm taking a stab at creating my own theme and using ThemeGenCE to do it. It's pretty slick and I've been able to figure out most of it, but there are a couple of things that have me stumped...
How do you change the text color in Start Menu items?
How do you change the softkey button and text color?
How do you change the task panel text color?
As for the start menu thing, it's particularly frustrating because I can make the change in the program, but it never seems to "take" on my phone, except for the word "Start" in the titlebar. The menu items themselves stay the same color. The file is getting saved correctly, judging my the timestamp, but the start menu color settings don't seem to have taken.
Peculiarly, though, the highlighted start menu items have taken (but now refuse to change to anything else!) I'm sure it's just a step that I'm missing somewhere.
Thanks!

Here's an example of what I'm talking about with the inconsistency. ThemeGenCE shows the start menu font in a gold color, but the actual result on the windows mobile device has a black font...which doesn't work well with my theme
Any help is appreciated.

Update...
I've tried a few things now and I have some curious results to report.
One, I've discovered that the colors in the start menu appear to remain as whatever they were the last time the start menu theme was successfully changed. That is, if I install the Windows Default green theme, then install my theme, a highlighted menu item is still black text on a green background, even though ThemeGen clearly shows it should be gold text on a grey background.
I also have tried a demo version of Thememaker M. I imported the theme generated by ThemeGen and found that the menu text and the softkeys were colored just as I had expected them to be, but re-generating the theme and copying it to my device resulted in the same them...the colors didn't take for these elements, nor for the volume bubble or the task list. This indicates that the issue is with the device rather than the theme creators.
Has anyone else experienced this? Can you provide insight on how to get past it? This is getting pretty frustrating as it's my first serious attempt to create a theme for my device.
Thanks!

This is a strange problem that I've noticed. I assume this happens to everybody else too?
When I go to the Internet Tab... without any scrolling taking place... the top of one of the favourite icons is missing, like it's been chopped off (see Image 1).
Upon scrolling this list slowly, I can see 2 areas on the screen where parts of the foreground simply disappear (see Images 2,3,4,5). Either the top of the whole favourite icon + favourite icon background disappears, or just the top of the inner favourite icon disappears, or the dotted line disappears. Notice the background displays fine!
After checking other scrollable tabs... like the Settings Tab, the Program Tab, plus others... they all have the same problem. The top of the black round square disappears on the Program List (see Image 6), and the dotted lines disappear on the Settings Page (see Image 7).
Something that is about 1-2 pixels high, and full width, is making anything that passes over it, or under it (if it's invisible)... disappear!
I have marked all the below images with arrows (which are placed in exactly the same place in every image), so you can see where the disappearing occurs! You may have to view the full sized images, as the smaller ones that appear in the overlay don't show some of the dotted lines anyway!
It's really starting to annoy me... primarily because it's immediately visible & noticeable on the Internet Tab.
Does anybody know why this happens, or how to correct it?

Anyone know the solution????
I guess from the screenshots you're using an edited manila background, the two manila files that split a wallpaper in 2 to make a background for all the tabs? The top pixel line of the bottom file and bottom line of the top file do not show up on the phone - maybe they have something to do with it? I don't have this issue, using bg4all on Dutty R8.
Who can help,please........................
My problem is that the forth line of the Manila Contact list, the manila setting tabs are missing............
Hey,
I got a problem with my HTC Tocuh Pro 2.
Today i was checking some things with the internet explorer.
After that, i had to use the file explorer to search some files and saw that my fileexplorer had "changed":
Normally, all text elements at the dropdown menu were the same size, but now the upper ones are in a bigger font size, like here:
http://www.worldofppc.com/HWTests/Pics/TF3D/expl.jpg
http://www.pocketpc.ch/attachments/...-bei-windows-mobile-die-registry-screen06.png
(Screenshots are not from my device!)
Same problem in "Pictures and Videos".
First i thought it maybe was because of some problem with the zoombar while using internet explorer and checked the system fontsize, but this was like before.
I tried to restart my device; nothing changed.
I tried a soft-reset, no change again...
Before i try a hard-reset, is there someone that knows this problem or has an idea how to get rid of it?
Would be great!
Update:
If i connect my TouchPro2 with my PC and go to the File Explorer or "Pictures and Videos" the Dropdown Menu looks like the popup menu from HTC.
I mean this menu: http://www.tracyandmatt.co.uk/blogs/media/tracyandmatts_blog/windowslivewriter/touchpro2advancedtweaking_f22a/ac-menu_2.jpg
But its up where the dropdown should be and cutted at the upper side.
Strange
No Idea how i can fix this?
For file explorer popup menu, it was set to big as default for finger friendly.
But u can change it to make it same size. I'm not sure u want big or small but below reg keys will make ur popup font same size (small) one.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\Menu\PopFnt]
"Ht"=dword:320
320 in HEXadecimal
800 in DECimal
U can use total commander or any registry editor to change this key.
The problem isnt with the popup menu, like you can see at the pictures it's with the "navigation tree".
But i tried this and it didnt help.

Isn't it like that 'by design'? I thought that was an improvement to File Explorer brought about in WM6.1.
@=Crux=
Now i become more confused with your problem.
This is what it should (normally) be :
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Screenshot no.3 is when i press right soft menu key in Pictures & Videos.
So what u want to do with it now? Can u post sreenshots like mine?
Sry for my bad englisch
I've tried a hardreset today, but the problem is still there.
My dropdown menu is'nt like the one on your first zwo screenshots, it's like this:
http://www.worldofppc.com/HWTests/Pics/TF3D/expl.jpg
The navigationtree is in a bigger font, but the last entry (storagecard/my device) is in normal font size.
Forget about what i said about the popup menu, i just meant that the navigation tree looks like the popup menu when my TP2 is connected to my computer.
I have been working through the night and all weekend so far to learn how to make my own theme based off of CM6 Nightly builds, but I need some help. I made some changes but can't find where these might be found.
I somehow made a change so that now the time and all notifications that appear at the top are in black letters. This also goes the same for the notifications that appear in the pull down menu. Anyone know what icon would be causing this? See pics below.
Also when I turn on the GPS and wifi, the gps and wifi icons doesn't appear at the top. Anyone know what icons I should be looking for?

Forgot to add: I give full credit to all those who came up with the Red themes that I pulled bits and pieces from. I used many sources that I can't remember their names now, but if they want me to specifically name them, let me know and I will.
Dude if you are working in from CM6 (an AOSP build) then the taskbar is white with black letters. Thats how it is by default. You just made the statusbar black, so now it doesn't show up very well (correct me if I am wrong).
Anyway, I believe there is an option in CM6 settings to change the color of text on the statusbar. Or, you can go into framework-res.apk/res/layout/statusbar.xml and change the hex code for the <TextView> elements.
Also, all the statusbar icons are in framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdmi.

Changes the lockscreen Pin Input button color. None of the registry seems to change that keyboard/dialer button color. Maybe there's something in the 00##_ThemeResources.xaml files (# = Number value, one for each accent color).
Ive gone through the entire theme section in the registry and have come to same conclusion. Im trying to get rid of the default grey in the dialer and keyboard but cant figure out how to change this. Would love if somebody could find this!

that would be system forground color i beleve dont quote me on that but i think i did it one time just cant remember!
"system foreground"... Not seeing this in the registry. It does seem strange to me that this is not an option like every other color option in the registry. I seem to recall doing this (changing the keyboard color) back when I was running Nodo but have forgotten how to do it. Would love it anyone could figure this out.
Thank you for your answer.It seems very difficult
Anyone have any ideas yet? Seems like a nice customization option that we ought to figure out. Ive exhausted my abilities as a hacker(very limited)
The keys on the keypad are image files (png) ive searched the directory in WPDM but not managed to find them. The Radio Buttons, Sliders, Check Boxes, Keypad Keys etc. are all png's. Only the background colours can be edited through the registry, I imagine if we find the png files then we can use photoshop to customize them..
This I think will be the keypad keys (though i may be wrong) - "ButtonBackground"="res://UIXMobile!ui.light.button.background.png"
I am not a developer or hacker, I have just found this out by playing around with my devices (and sometimes breaking them so be careful)

Hey guys,
I have been on WP7 for a few months and really missed the MattedBlues theme from my android. Using Metro Theme I was able to make a metro style version. I used the same hex colors as the mattedblues team to change a few colors and I am happy with the out come.
1.) If you have Metro Theme change the color scheme to Ken Chan Grey then reboot. You must be using Dark and not Light as background.
2.) In Metro Theme swipe over to custom and change the hex# to #FF73B6D6 then select Text Neutral Color. You will be prompt to reboot (Don't just yet)
Next change the hex# to #FF3D80A0 and select Contrast colors. and reboot.
3.) Now to make the tiles match open up Metro Theme find a color you don't like or could live without by entering a number in the top left box pressing select. numbers go from 1-10.
Then type #FF3D80A0 into the box next to the copy here box and then copy it in to the copy here box. Type MattedBlues in the top right and save accent.
4.) Now in the themes menu in your settings you should see MattedBlues. select and you're good to go.

Added the screen shots to the first post.
The email uses the light theme by default so to get it to match you follow the same steps but under the color picker box select Light before editing colors. should come out like this.
