Edit the Registry here
I've actually tried this and there isn't a perfect way of accomplishing it. Changing the registry also changes other colors throughout the system and makes it strange looking. For example: the registry tweak in the thread the poster above me linked, has a tweak for the keyboard, but it is for the background color of the board. This color is also used for all the little sub menus (the things with the "..."). I changed mine to black because it does look better than the default grayish color (I tried changing it to white, but it just contrasts with way to many other things).

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 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.

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.

Hey guys i don't know if this has been posted yet, but i surfed around and couldn't get any info.
I edited a couple pictures off my comp to use them as background and now i realized for bright color'ed back grounds (ie. blue/white) they blend right in with the main screens *White font color, ya you know the clock etc..
it would help if we can set these color to black/blue/deep blue etc. vice versa, suprisingly htc never thought of this? or am i missing something here =/
changing themes don't seem to be doing much
FONTs....
System and TF3D are available and works from other devices.
Godzon has a nice selection but not all of his include system fonts.
Search for others....Install, if no likey...uninstall
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...

Are you refering to the post that only show how to change the email Light theme to Dark?

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!

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

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 really like how the people app looks in ics
can i edit framework to change the settings menu background to the white color in the people apk? as well as change the text to black so i can actually see it? maybe even make the dialer have a white background as well. thanks for any help i would love to make ics more of a "light" theme.
EDIT: is it possible to change the image in frame work labeled (not sure on the name) holo_background_dark.png, if i did replace this how to i change the font to be dark as well
a lot of text issues arise when making a white theme. more so than just changing the text color in framework and sysui
It's possible, of course, but the fact that you are asking those questions warrants the answer 'but not advisable for YOU to mess with it'.
It's not simple as 'changing one background/text color'.
Edit: if you are really determined to do it, take a look at this: https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AcdxIJRSH9ypZGZzc2pxNDlfMjdnazk4OHNxZA&hl=en&pli=1

thank you for the guide.
my title isn't really clear on what im doing, its not necessarily a whole theme, i still want to keep all apks the same as well as the status bar and stuff, but more or less changing the background image of the settings menu to white by extracting the frame work and replacing the gradient grey png with a white one and then changing the font in the settings menu to a dark grey. which works in root explorer alone. i just need to find out how to change the font color. which could probably be done by putting in a hex code to a system file right?
if not o well atleast i tried lol, hopefully there will be a light theme soon.
