Change WM Background colour? - Touch HD Themes and Apps

You can do so much to customize you HD and make it look great. But as soon as you drop bak into Windows Mobile - in the programs folder from the start menu for instance, you get the old, un-stylish white backround with the not so good looking windows icons.
It might look better with a darkish gray background. Is there anyway to change the system window background colour?
Cheers

I just installed these black dialer and black calculator and my boot screen goes darkgrey.

[THE][2009-02-04][SINGH'S TINGS - TF3D Core ]TF3D How it was meant to be...

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.

is it possible to make it in other colours? (e.g. blue, purple, red,...)
all in all I like the look of your theme
yeh ! A blue or purple version would be awesome

[themes] transparent manila

It isn't a real theme. I have make some changes so as we have better looking
at our backgrounds. You can use it with all your wallpapers.
When we have the same background at all the Tabs, there is a problem if we use colored wallpapers or photos.
The problem has to make with the icons because they are black and look very bad.
I found a very simple solution for that. I made 50% transparent all the icons so as they look little darker than the color which has our background.
You can use it with any background color, dark or light.
Maybe later I make them real crystal, but need a lot work and I have not so match time these days.
If you like my fonds you can find them here (Thanks to Onkolog)

last update 07/04/09
I have add at the People Tab the bigger transparent icons.
So I changed the CAB. Download the new one.
very nice! does this include the font used for the titles (e.g., Weather)? if not, what is the font name and how does one install to their device? also, when you press one of the transparent icons (like the call mobile button on the people page) does it change so you know it's been pressed? thanks!
Hi nanoo-eg
Please put your Picture in your Post.
The link is really bad. I don't know the others, but with me, I can't see it.
This's your second thread with I would like to see the picts.
Thanks,

works & looks very nice on my device! i like the way they're in the background. in case you plan to refine, i'd like to share with you my observations for the people page: there are some people icons that aren't transparent depending upon the type of numbers (mobile, home) and the number of contact items (e.g., mobile, email, home). for example, if a person has only a mobile number, manila uses different (larger) icons for the mobile and text icons. neither icon is transparent. also if a person has a mobile, home and work number, and an email address, the work number icon is not transparent, but the others are transparent. hope this helps! your time, effort and contributions are very much appreciated!
looks great.does your slider work with the stock tab?mine does the ugly double icon thing! if yes can i have it.

I am sorry but I am not sure if I understand you well.
Like I write at the first post it isn't a real theme.
Just I made the icons which there are on every TAB to be transparent so as every wallpaper you use, looks better because original icons have black background around them. (You must use the same wallpaper for all Tabs. If your wallpaper it is black you don't need to install this cab). But if you use a photo like a background, you need the transparency.
For example I changed to tranparency at Music Tab, the 4 icons play, pause, preview song, next song. The same I made for all the Tabs.
I don't know if I answer at your questions.
Thanks a lot, will try to use it.
This was were i was looking for, thx!

[SKIN][TF3D2][18-06-09] AnX1 Nature's Grace V1.0

(Click the image to download)
Donations are much appreciated!
​
Introduction:
This is based on my previous "Shadowsong" skin (which no longer exists).
Many people found that too gloomy and dark, so I adapted and made it... happier!
In the process I tried to preserve the balance between tech (glow, embossed) and
nature (background, colors) which I also tried to approach in Shadowsong.
This skin uses a lot newer code, with some neat features. Enjoy!
Changelog:
* None yet! *
Upcoming features:
- Improved start menu
- Inside menu's graphic tweaks
- Improved media player layout.
Features:
- Fully skinned TF3D2 with files from Rhodium build 1.19.
- Panoramic Background modification
- Improved Slider modification.
- Sprint clock modification
- Complete skin, including submenu's.
Acknowledgements:
- Guap: Sprint clock mode9 files.
- Rotastrain: Slider and panoramic background mode9 files.
Installation:
- Download the .cab file
- Copy the file to your device or memory card
- Run the .cab and install it to main memory
- Restart your phone
* If your TF3D becomes white after installation, your ROM or TF3D2 installation does not support CFC (Chainfire's compression). Download the compatibility cab and install that instead. (can be done on top of the previous install) *
Compatibility:
- Should be compatible with all TF3D2 Rhodium builds.
- WM6.1 confirmed.
- WM6.5 unconfirmed, but should work.
Related Links:
- AnX1 Actionscreen v1.2
- AnX1 Ethahetso Taskbar v2.2
Donations are much appreciated!

Rotastrain made small tutorial on how to make backgrounds for this. (It's his panoramic code). Search for it, in this forum.
While I really appreciate the scenic background, I must say that reading white text on the light background is really not comfortable. Either the text will have to be made darker or that beautiful background has to change!
Yes, Rota made a nice tutorial to make panoramic backgrounds, but for those of us who have no IT skills, is there some place where panoramic backgrounds are available that we could just dump into a folder ... easy and simple?
The background is 01253_silence_1280x800.jpg from interfacelift.com (maybe the source is another size then 1280x800).

Actually, that is not my source. It's a wallpaper that is available at several sites all over the internet.
I've received quite some feedback on the TP2 forum, regarding some issues and suggestions.
Does everyone in here think it's just fine as it is? I'm not getting many replies, so I'm actively asking for 'em now.
Really nice, great job guy.
After installed, there is a part of white color on the "moving tab", even when I move it to anywhere , it still nothing change, but the backgroud of the tab such as home , message, mail ,etc, which is no problem
On this solution, is that mean's "If your TF3D becomes white after installation" ?
Beacuse I have also tried install 'compatibility cab' but there is nothing change, thx

No, that's not the same bug. With the white, I mean entire manila.
Please post a screencapture of the bug, so I can better understand what the problem is.
it's look like this ( I used your screen shot )
I am using X1 firmware R3AA010 , TouchFLO 3D 3.0.38196.3 B3

I see. I haven't seen this problem before. I think it's because Rotastrain's crystal slider isn't compatible with the CAB TF3D2. Rotastrain is the only one I know who can fix this. You had best ask him, so he can tell you which files he needs from you to be able to patch it.
help with stock icon
Hi Angelusz. This is a really great theme. I am having a problem with the stock preview icon. The 174ba15d_manila contains the correct image (see cfc gui screenshot), but displays the old stock icon (see other screenshot). I think this might have to do with the manila name. 174ba15d_manila is named stock_preview.qtc, while all of the other preview icons are named filename-hero.qtc (ie home-hero.qtc). The stock preview icon is the only one not listed under manila\icon preview. However, I do not know how to change the manila file name, so I cannot test it. Would you be able to test this to see if it corrects the issue? Thanks.

Wait, so how do you get the background image to move when going through the tf3d tabs, and is it possible to add own background that moves like that?

That moving background is Rotastrain's Panosidetoside. You can modify it, as it's just normal manila image files (QTC).

[Mod] Personalize your WP7 - FULL Theme Colour Mod - Reg

Hi!
I'm truly sorry if this is a re-post, but I didn't found any post similar to this.
I've found a way to fully customize my Trophy colours tweaking the registry. You can change your background colour, text, keyboard, etc... To do this just open a Registry editor and go to: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Themes\1] (That "1" is for Dark theme), then change the colour values like you want!
This is what you are able to mod: BaseThemeColor; ChromeColor; ContrastColor; KeyPadBackground; ListPickerBackground; ListPickerBackgroundPressed; PageBackgroundColor; ProgressBarBackground; ProgressBarDisabledBackground and SysTrayBackgroundColor amoung all texts colours.
I advise you to somehow backup the colour codes you're about to change!
Hope you enjoy it, now start to personalize your WP7!!
P.S: Need to restart to apply!
Here's an example to show what you can do:
i don't know but i think your google is broken... literally a few posts before yours is a thread about this exact thing plus the original values already in a table for you...

It's still a system wide change you are changing the 'Light' SYSTEM theme to a 'custom' color.
I honestly haven´t saw it before posting mine, I have searched it now that you mentioned. As I said: "I'm truly sorry if this is a re-post, but I didn't found any post similar to this." So if the user decides that I am using his work let him speak to me, and I will present him my apologies.
However the user in question only shows how to change the email theme, not the full mod.
Thank you for the notice anyway, cheers!
I have found this also... But do you know how to change icons on Live tiles from white to black I was looking for it, but did not find...

Sorry, but I really don't know how to do that. I know you can change the text colour, but not the icon colour itself!
To change text colour edit this Registry Keys:
[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\1\TextNeutralColor]
[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\1\ListPickerBackgroundPressed]
[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\1\ContrastColor]
Regarding to the icons you have this awesome post from the user nichitandrei.
Cheers!
Any idea how to change the keyboard buttons background so that they are black. Sort of the way the email app has a white keyboard with black letters but just the opposite. Check out the screen caps to see where im at....I can't seem to figure out the keyboard button background. It never changes no matter what i do. The same effect applies to the in call screen and dialer. I think all black will work. I dont think I will lose any functionality as far as visibility is concerned. Maybe its one of the registry strings that have an image instead of colour code?
You'll have to look back to about January ,this was covered way back then ,some of it was about changing the email , but the thread itself was covering the change colors theme , but hey the more the merrier , it might be a good idea to post the original values for the dark theme and for the light theme , otherwise people will continually ask you what they are (because they dont copy them down)!
Anyone know if its possible to change the notification bar color ? I have a pretty awesome theme happening here .. but a white bar at the top is killing me .
lucas.scott: The notification bar uses the TextHighContrast key. Weird, I know.
niiiiiiiice . you have been thanked
---------- Post added at 07:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:09 AM ----------
Any clue as to what controls the arrows and such that are over the ChromeColor ?
That one I don't know. I only played with modding the colors so far before I ran into troubles where they conflicted in third party apps. There's this weird thing where first party apps use the registry, and then third party apps mostly use one of two different XAML files for each accent color, but they're not as consistent as to which one they use as the first party apps. I got tired of tweaking both registry files and a dozen XAML files to have my color tweaks carry across system wide and eventually just went back to doing accent colors only
Good luck though with the theming. If you don't get too hung up about the colors not carrying over to third party apps, it's a lot of fun. I had purple and blue for a while, like the Windows 8 demos. It's definitely showy to have a fully tweaked WP7.
For some reason when I change the values in mfg for BaseThemeColor on my quantum it has no effect..
Other strings all work..
Any ideas?
I got it .. thanks Theme complete .
as far as the BaseThemeColor goes , what are you looking for it to change ? I am currently working on typing up what i have found SO FAR that each value changes . I think it would be cool to start a thread with everyones themes and values .
As far as i can tell , the only change i have noticed that BaseThemeColor makes are sort of generic template things . Mine was set to FFFFFF , so when i went into Zune hub , since i had white text as well , i couldnt see any of my song titles because FFFFFF is the generic white setting , so the background images were washed out like it is on the light theme . When i changed it to FF000000 , Zune hub thought it was on the dark theme then , and played very well with my white text . Also changed dialpad .. so pretty much system apps look at that to know how to behave . I would only use FFFFFFFF / FF000000
I hope that makes sense .. i can upload pics if youd like .

I want the background on my home screen changed.
I want it to be blue like #FF0000FF
No matter what I do they stay black and white:/

Accent Color Collection

Hey Guys,
I love the ability to have custom accent colors on WP7.
So I wanted to ask you guys whats the registry code for your custom accent color. Maybe we could make some kind of collection for color codes
I use those at the moment:
Mint #FF01D86C
Orange #FFFF5900
Purple #FF6D24945
Electric Blue #FF3711C2
Grey #FF838284
Maybe someone also could provide the codes for the carrier/OEM specific accent colors, like HTC, Orange UK, T-Mobile etc.
For changing the colors I use schaps Advanced Config, thanks for that!
Really dig the colors! Advanced Config stopped working so I need to reinstall it, but I checked them via some hex color site and digging all of them. Can you add new colors in the new version of Advanced Config, or do you need to overwrite existing colors?
For me, not custom, but the best accent color is red!
;-) +1... red background&black tiles...

I have Version 1.4 on my LG Optimus 7 with Mango and you can add new colors. I don't know how many but I haven't reached the maximum yet
At the moment I really love the HTC color: #FF69B40F
I don't know if this is the real thing I only found it somewhere and like it
Been using the Nokia Blue... looks sweet with the Black bg.

what's the hex code
Check the "KulerCream" app at the marketplace...it connects to a big database with colour combinations and it shows you the hex value for each color...I only wish advanced configuration tool to had an option for a custom background color too..I don't want to mess with registry...

yeah but is it possible to do add some new colors beside the two black and white, i mean like some standard colors, and have a choice beetween 5, 6, 7, or more colors? but NOT to change the chevron unlocked, or custom rom? something like adding to the registry more folders with background colors...

How do you know this? Is there a registry explorer for the Lumia now?
I would like to know this also. Can this be done to the Lumia? I'm very boring, the bright colours are a bit much for me, would prefer a subtle grey or something.
