New SlidingPane color schemes for Kavana WM6.1 ROM

I will start this topic to put your imagination to another direction - color scheme.
Its really so simple to make another color scheme to cool SlidingPane theme. Just make some colors with photoshop or simple color picker and if you wont some cool wallpaper and thats all.
This is my first color cheme. The wallpaper is based on default scheme, but with hue I make it blue and the all scheme is blue too. I like this blue because is darker - like the blue light on the s620 buttons, and the combination is fine for me
Just extract these two files in \Application Data\Home folder and change the color scheme to "Another blue"
If you make your own theme, please just upload it here, to share with us.

NICE WORK!!

Black
Hi, here's the black scheme taken from last version of Kavana's.
Enjoy.

ratatouille, they need black_LS.gif file from windows dir too to see the wallpaper.
Here it is black theme based on green one:

I only had this file and modified my screen with base hue and I had a tone of black more black than the original scheme, kind of like it. You should try, looks shiny.

Awesome Dude
Littleclown, you are the man, awesome, beautiful dude. I'm using basehue Gold with the blue........!

Another dark scheme, this time with some cool skulls on the wallpaper.

Thanks, you guys are awesome!

A user over on the Vox forums has already done much of the work on this. Check it out at this link:

They work great using the new Kavana 6.1 ROM on my 'Dash.'

Yes this is not a bad idea.
But this schemes uses so simple gradient wallpaper...
If you wont something else - use some free wallpapers, a little tunning with photoshop and emagination... I will try to make some more schemes these days, but everybody can post here schemes.

Doesnt the new rom have a hue color changer installed? or was that the chinese version?

Yes it does. Just doesn't have the shortcut in Start folder. Now my blue matches

I use the black color theme with this as my wallpaper, works out pretty well imo.
edit1: actually it exceeded the forum limit, let me upload it somewhere\

[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.

Nice job thank you, really nice.

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.

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

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...

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.

how to make a "light" theme

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.

Trying to theme my status bar dropdown, and it's driving me insane.
I replaced the quicksettings and clear notifications icons, but when pressing them they get a green overlay.
Right now I'm trying to find out where this is controlled. Must be one of the .xmls or in smali, but so far I had no luck finding anything.
Anyone else know where to look?

I'm facing the same dillema. I bet it's in smali somewhere... if we're lucky it calls the RGB value from an XML we can change somewhere.

I checked most of the xmls in systemui and had no luck finding anything. If it calls an xml, then it most likely sits in com.htc.resources.apk which would suck :/

It's skinned blue in our Rom so its not in resources. I'm pretty sure it's in framework-res.apk values/colors.xml. holo_green_light & holo_green_dark
But to be sure I'll ask our lead dev sergio tomorrow.

since it will be changed if one applies a HTC Sense theme, and the Matte theme for instance has a blue on pressed color i did a quick apktool d Matte.apk
i found no graphics file inside but i found this inside /res/values/colors.xml
Code:
<color name="overlay_color">#ff0087b4</color>

Yeah it doesn't do what we want it to do though
I found it's easier to just put all your changes in a skin that's already got blue highlights, such as aluminum or matte. Now if I could only get rid of the black clock in the Matte theme I'd be golden!

Nice catch, too bad that the default skin is com.htc.resources.apk, which can't really be edited atm until apktool is updated.
Edit: with your hint I think it's "<color name="multiply_color">#ff00beff</color>" under values/colors.xml. for stock HTC theme, I think it's in SystemUI.apk, trying it out now.
Edit2: yup, that's the value that colors the icon on press . Editing SystemUI.apk is enough. Bear in mind that the color gets overlaid as a multiply layer (think Photoshop)

Yeah that makes sense with the multiply overlay
It was late yesterday when i posted my findings :-D
