[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?

[Q] Is it possible for the ChromeColor to be transparent?

While messing around with the colors and themes in the registry I wondered if it would be possible to make the ChromeColor value transparent. This value applies to the background of the keyboard, as well as the "drawer" type thing (were all the buttons are kept in apps). I think it would be interesting to see and could help free up some screen space (visually, not necessarily functionally). However, I'm a little timid in changing the value myself. I'm not good at anything related to coding really (only small time practice) so I don't know if its possible to change the value to simply "transparent" and have it take effect. The values seem strange because they're FFCCCCCC, while online they typically seem to be FFCCCC so I'm assuming it's CSS values (is there a numerical value for transparent?). I'm worried that if the value is changed to a non numerical value that something will go wrong.
Has anybody tried this? If you know if this works/try it out please let me know as I think it could be really cool for the ChromeColor to be transparent.

Sure, this is possible. The first to digits are the transpareny values. In Hexadezimal-Code F is the highest number. So FF is fully untransparent. Fully transparent is 00 in front of the colour value. 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,F this is the order and with that you can change the percentage of transparency.
For example the code #00000000 is fully transparent and black.

Doesn't fully transparent mean there is no color?

Alright, thanks for that info. #00000000 turned out to be white (I think), but #00FFFFFF is truly transparent. It's kinda neat, only problem I've identified is that it doesn't take effect in all apps. In the messaging app when I bring up the keyboard its transparent for a second, and then goes to solid black. Not quite sure why thats happening if its supposed to be reading the same registry value. Also, some of the drop down menus (when an app has an error/something at the top of the screen like the music) don't have the backing so the text is unreadable. I think it's best to just stick with solid black.

Is there an app for this? I'd like to know how to do it.

Currently the only way to change theme colors (outside of tile colors) is modifying registry values. I'm using the registry editor from here: http://forum.touchxperience.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=593 (just look in the attachments box for the newest version).
Once you have the app open you need to go HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> ControlPanel ->Themes. The "0" folder is for the light theme and the "1" folder is for the dark theme.
I'd recommend checking out this thread if your curious about changing some things in the registry: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=907971

[Q] Turn up the brightness at the very top of the screen?

I can't make out the icons at the very top of my screen - e.g. messages, battery life, BT... (yes, I'm probably older than many of you)
I would either like to make that area large, turn up the brightness or ideally -
I'd like the number of new emails, text messages and voicemails to show up on the icons that are at the bottom of my screen like they did on my EVO3d and ET4G - not sure if that is a skin or mod or what but it was very helpful.
Any one of these solutions for this GN newbie would be most appreciated.

Well then here's the perfect mod for you! Old Geezer

Thanks - that is very close to what I'm looking for - it concentrates on making the ones on the right more noticeable.
The problem is I need the ones on the left more noticeable. E.g. I have a battery status icon that shows me the percent of battery life remaining instead of the stock one that has bar.
It appears that items up there have a transparency thing going on - I'd like to turn that off so the images are brighter/crisper.
The items on the right are easy enough to read -e.g. how many bars I'm getting as they are a more noticeable blue.
So I guess what I'd really like is to remove the transparency if that is what is going on up there and to get my icons back on the main part of the screen that show the number of unread messages, missed calls, new email messages - not sure if that was an HTC and Samsung thing or a feature in the older version of Android but I miss it.

That stupid overlay/transparency pissed me off. But if you can decompile and do a simple xml edit and recompile it can be gone.
SystemUI.apk\res\values\dimens.xml (find line below)
<item type="dimen" name="status_bar_icon_drawing_alpha">100.0%</item>
the default setting is like 54.9999%. 100% = "0" overlay and bright icons now.
good day.

Thanks.
Clearly your Jou Jou is much stronger than mine - could tell me exactly how to do this or would that be too complicated to explain?

[THEME] Extreme Power Saver Leaf and Exit Button Colour

Extreme Power Saver Leaf and Exit Button Colour MOD
I couldn't stand the fact that there was so little colour on the Extreme Power Saver screen....
And I couldn't stand the fact that the only real colour was that nasty little red exit button,
looming there like you did something wrong....
So I've changed the colours!!!!
This makes that screen more welcoming...
If there's a DEV out there that would like to create a EPS themer then please do,
I would love the whole of the EPS screen themeable.
But as such my skills only go so far....
If there's a specific colour anyone want's then send me a jpeg.
There are 15 Colours (including the original : not shown)
If you do want to change the apps that show or move them around then you can use the excellent Xtended Settings from Google Play.
UPDATE
Having spoke to Richmondo he has now included a Leaf colour changer in his already excellent
Xtended settings. It only changes the leaf colour though but you can chose any colour in the
spectrum. You also need Xposed installed (but you already knew that) With my Mod you don't!
Installation instructions included in the .zip
But just so you know..
You just have to replace the HtcEPSLauncher.apk
Use ES File Explorer with Root access.
Navigate to /device/system/priv-app/HtcEPSLauncher
and replace the apk inside.
Delete the colour name i.e re-name it to "HtcEPSLauncher"
without the quotation marks and you are good to go...
I originally did this for the M8 and found out it works on the M7. If you have any problems either reboot or just replace the original. And yep you can always PM me.
Enjoy
