Wrong Colors - Sliding Panel Media - HTC Excalibur

I have searched in as many word combinations as i can think of, but i cannot find and answer to my problem.
I just installed Kavana 6.1 (RUU_Excalibur_WM61_Kavana_080408_WWE.exe) rom a couple of days ago (on a T-mobile Dash) and noticed something while i was customizing and making it my own special blend.
I have my Home Screen Layout as the Sliding Panel Media. The problem arises when i attempt to change the colors.
When i change the color scheme to:
Blue - I get the base hue of BLUE but the panel background remains GREEN
Brown - base hue correct, panel background remains Green
Green - everything matches with green (of course)
Grey - base hue correct, panel background still Green
Lake - everything matches with Lake
Light Green - everything matches
Magenta - base hue correct, panel is Green
Purple - base hue once again correct, and panel is still GREEN!
Red - everything matches in Red
My background image is set to Default. I am so sick of looking at green right now. Has anyone else encountered this???

I am having the exact same issue. I just switched to Kavana 080408 from Ricky's v24 and now I can't get the home screen background to work correctly.

Loving that I am not alone in this but sorry you're going through the same issue. Me likes my colors and gotta have em!

Replace the Background
I just did this update today and it seems that you have to replace the background image with something that is a color you want. I don't think that changing the color scheme changes the background image color.

I have encountered this so I tried a hard reset and it worked...
so Try a hard reset and see if this will work for you...

Thanks guys..... I will eventually try the hard reset.

Also, if you would like you can backup everything using Sprite program to back it up so you wont have to reload everything when you do a hard reset on your phone. Let me know if you would like this program.

Yes please......Sprite would make my life easier because there's nothing I hate more than starting over. It usually ends with me remembering the one thing I needed before the reset only to roll my eyes in disgust. I lost some good blackmail material in digital land.....

Hard Reset Black Shadow

I used black shadow on my phone and wanted something simpler so I went back to lvsw but when I reset the phone, the reset screen is black shadows, is this just a remnant of Black Shadow or could it possibly be affecting my phone.

This is just because Shadow also flashes the bootscreens but lvsw obviously doesn't so lvsw does not overwrite the shadow boot screens. look at mrvanx's site and it will show how to flash just the bootscreen

Black and White text on the Start Menu Screen - WM6.5

Hello all
First off.... sorry if this has been touched on else where. I've searched the site and can't find a pot like this however will apologise if I have missed one.
Ok, so.... has anyone else found that when they press the start button to access the start menu that the text underneath the program icons is either in a black or white font? With mine there doesn't seem to be any pattern to this either (e.g every other program name is white). I can have 5 white then 7 black and then 2 white and so on. I'm guessing you get the picture. This is making program selection super difficult, as if i choose a light back ground I can't see the white text, and visa versa.
This is also changes too. If I rest my device then they change the order of blacks and whites. If i change the theme it has the same affect as well.
So... does anyone one else have the same problem? Anyone get a fix? or magic cab. to remove this problem?
Thanks in advance

Are you on Vodafone?
If so, this is what you need to do, it's a slightly bad ROM flash from 6.1 to 6.5. It did this to me.
Remove any files you have on the phone's memory, then carry out a hard reset. then re-flash the 6.5 ROM. you should then have a light grey back ground and all black text.

[Q] Stock registry values

I was screwing around with different colors and now its not displaying a couple fonts correctly.
Is there a list of stock reg values floating around? I searched quite a bit and couldn't find one for wp7.
Specifically for HKLM\ControlPanel\Themes\1
Edit: Forgot to say its an HTC HD2/HD7
if it's an hd2, can't you just reflash it?

Post your customized device!

I thought it would be interesting to see what people have done with their devices, now that we can do at least a little bit of customization within WP7. I've seen some pretty smooth looking phones in YouTube videos and around the internet. I'm sure no two customized phones are the same.
Whether it be registry changes, accent customization, theme changes, or whatever, let's see what you've done!
I have mine below, I switch between the grayer shade of blue and the darker red. I can't decide which I like more.
Here you go;

is there a way to add colors to the background where "dark" and "light" are just like one the other color accents we can do right now? instead of going in and changing the default ones alone?
would like to know, thanks
Changing the background color is easy. You just need a registry editor such as this and edit the registry key:
[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\*\pageBackGroundColor]
* - 1 is dark theme, 0 is light theme
Enter a hex number after #FF, such as #FF40546e for a steel blue.
You may also want to edit these keys:
[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\*\Basethemecolor]
[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\*\TextHighContrast]
[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\*\TextBackGround]
[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\*\pageBackGroundColor]
[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\*\SysTrayBackGroundColor]
[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\*\TextNeutralColor]
[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\*\ContrastColor]
Playing around with these should teach you what each changes. To see your changes, switch themes from dark to light and then back or vice versa.

yeah thanks that is really helpfull but is there a way to add an extra menu color like when it says "light" and "dark" lets say create a string in the registry to add another drop down menu inside the theme to get one that one makes like lets say "orange" or whatever and change back to those other "light" and "dark" themes without editing them?
just add another one without touching the old ones?
i will try this though, just wanted to know if this was possible before i moved anything

No you can not add new theme ....Just be aware that messing with registry in that level is danger ..Make a backup first

How did you change the page switcher to the Windows logo? Also nice icon switch. EDIT: Is that a different battery icon as well?
BTW, my phone was featured on 1800pocketpc along with part of my tutorial on how to change your phones background color: http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2011/06...-background-theme-color-on-windows-phone.html
Just thought it was pretty cool

[Q] LED weird colours

is it normal that my LED colours seem to have multiple colours in them.. like example if i set the notification ligth to be orange ( with paranoid rom, but did the same on stock with lightflow) the light will be half light red and the other half will be yellow.. or green and blue if i want light blue.. it seems i have to mess around with the colours value (RGB) to get just one solid colour and not a mix of multiple colours..
this is hard to explain.. so if you know what i mean please let me know.. if not i can take a picture and upload them here!
Thanks
It's my understanding that although it IS an RGB LED, that doesn't necessarily mean that it will be able to recreate every color you could dream of. There's actually another thread here in the S3 section (Forget which part) where people are compiling a list of different Hex values of colors that turn out really well.

thing is is that im using ParanoidAndroid rom, and i dont see the option to add a hex value.. i can only pick a hue and slide the colour around ..
Well, in my experience with that, it seems to have a better color output for the LED if you don't have the saturation all the way up..... Say if you were shooting for a pure red color, have the slider down just a bit from as bright as it can get. Seemed like whenever i tried using that to set LED colors, if i had it all the way up, it had something else mixed in.... generally i think a bit more of a white color to it.
