I'm using HTC Home Customizer/HTC home plugin. I want just a pure black background on my today screen. I tried selecting a pure black jpg using the today screen setting "Use this picture as the background." The background ended up just being light gray. Anyone know how to do this? I think I'm just being dumb.

Here is a completely black theme for u.
EDIT: Instruction - copy the unzipped theme into your windows directory, then go to settings/personal/today and the black theme should be there as a option. Select it and click ok.
thanks!

you are welcome
on a related note, I've been trying to make a black theme with the attached pic for a b/g, but using a theme creator and making the top and bottom bars black, also causing it to be a light grey.
I would use your theme, Mikulec, but i believe you would have white writing?
I've attached my theme as well.
Any chance of helping a newbie? Thanks!
edit: Checked yours, Mikulec, and you do have white writing that won't show up on mine, plus the bottom bar is still light grey? Or did I do something wrong?

I am using program called ThemeGenCE. There u can do almost everything. The problem was that this program is making the bottom and uper bars in another caller(when u set the bars black, the color is in reality black-grey). I used another program to make the bars completely black.
I dont know how can I help you, cause I dont know how u want the theme to look like. The problem is that your pic is white and black so u cant use black or white text.
I will gladly help if u need me. U can try the ThemeGenCE.

Black.zip didn't work
I just followed your instructions to create an all black background, but it didn't work. It only made the task and soft-key bars black.
I just want a simple black background.
Please advise.
Thanks.

What ???????
If you read the post , it was not how do I set the background, it was please give me a black background that does not wash out to grey when set.
Which Mikulec did, 6 months ago.

Re-Read the original post. He says he's trying to set the today screen's picture and it's being greyed out when he sets it in the today (under settings) screen. In order to get a non-greyed out photo on your today screen, do what I wrote above. Also, learn to read sarcasm.
Black.zip solution response please
Could someone with a solution respond to my question about the use of the black.zip download to create an solid-black background in all windows (I recently installed hergs flip clock and landscape mode)?
I followed Mikulec's instructions and installed the black file, saw it listed in the Today screen, selected it, had auto reset, but the Today background didn't go to black.
Thanks.
All,
This is my first attempt as modding a theme.. I think I did a good job..
I took the PDVista PocketCM theme with PD's permission and modded the graphics. I also got help from DvTonder to correct the mail icon issue with the newer version of PocketCM.
This will work with PocketCM .21 - .23
This looks just like the HTC Diamond, background, pop up icons on the bottom, etc..
If someone wants to do the graphics over, be my guest.. I would love to play more but don’t have the time.. I spend like a week and change to get things where they are now..
Graphics that need to be done over:
Dial pad needs to be done in gloss black
Dial pad "pressed" buttons need to be done over in gloss black
Menu "pressed" buttons need to be done over with the fancy black diamond theme icon (I included it in the zip).
The icons on the main contact menu need to be done over in gloss black.
This theme has a Greatbal Diamond Look.
Eazy
great work thanks you
guess nobody was really interested..
Wooooooooooooo!
theme now switched!!!!!!!!!!!!!!this gets better and better!
PocketCM
Where can I download the standalone version of PocketCM?
I tried using the search on here but it sucks. It just brings up a bunch of threads for themes.
Thanks!

What do you mean, lol. Hush your mouth, lol. Many are interested. Your theme inspired me to use pocketcm all over again, lol. Thanks and look forward to more of your work.
Edit: I noticed your theme is a large one, almost a 1mb. Which I imagine the larger the file (theme) the slower it starts up. Nice theme though.
It looks sweet. The only thing that I don't like about it is that I can't see the phone numbers on the contact screen without scrolling down to it.
A little bit too dark for my taste, as I was using a diamond theme but with white background, but since this one doesn't have the bugs my previous one had I'm changing now, thank you and good work
Wow! Just downloaded pocketcm and your theme rocks! I'm a noob.... anyway to incorporate the text messaging from pocketcm into the standard texting from spb shell using one of the themes people have posted... (such as diamond theme?)
this looks good
will try it once i reinstall pocketcm --- testing icontact right now - and i dont like it
o nooooooooooooooooooooo!
skin turns aqua blue in letter spaces between contacts.and the menu to close and pick options never fully rises. now i'm sickbest skin for this app i seen yet.
What can I say.... EXCELLENT.
Hello,
I just installed it on htc Touch and the color of the font is BLACK for all contacts. So, I can not see any. The color needs to be set to WHITE. Thanks.
looks nice, thanks man, working on my prophet

Honestly, i got tired of reading the whole text message and could not figure out how to disable the auto show phone number with contacts option and make it come up when you select it in the options. so i just made it black, i can change it and upload two diff copies for you guys. If someone can look at the code and tell me what the option is to give the control back to the options "show contacts with phone number" i will change it.

hi,
one problem i have and not sure if other has the same. In the option i check on "contact without phone" but it still show phone number. I would like to only show just the name.
I have AT&T Tilt
Thanks
problem with menu that comes up from holding down the far right button. doesnt come up all the way. anyone else have this problem? i would also prefer highlighting that menu in a different color than hot pink. excellent job overall.
Can you change the font for the phone numbers to be white instead of black? Then it would be perfect

Hey guys,
I've got a brand new HTC Touch Diamond. On certain screens in particular the Contacts, Messaging, SMS or the screen to select the Avatar for farvourite People, there seems to be a colour gradient on the screen in that the right portion of my screen is towards the grey shade wherelse the left portion is whiter in colour. Is this part of the theme or a standard feature or is this a defect on my unit?
The thing is I don't get this issue on the 'Align Screen' screen which has a similar white background, nor do I get this gradient on Program and Settings menus.
Could someone please help me confirm?
Thanks.
Cheers.
*bump*
Pls help???
I called HTC regarding this issue and they told me it's just part of the graphics theme but I'm not entirely convinced though...
Thanks.

You could try taking a screenshot and copy that to your computer. If the gradient appears there then its a part of the graphics in the theme.. But if it does not appear on the screenshot on the pc. then you can consider it as a failure.
I checked contacts (touchflo) -> all people (left softkey), and yeah there's a slight gradient from white to a very very light grey. (Going from left to right)
Thanks so much for the great help guys..... I'll take a screenshot later just to confirm the issue....
A simple test is, go to settings > today,...and change theme to Windows Mobile Default / Green. See if the light grey change to fade blue / green?
I can confirm 99.9% is the theme....
it is normal....
crash74:
Thanks. Yes I've tried that before starting this thread. The gradient does follow the theme colour but I thought it was a backlight issue.. i.e. that portion of the screen not lit properly hence it appears darker regardless of the theme's colour.

then you fire up word mobile, and create a new document.
You should have a full white background......

Yes tried that.. I don't get the gradient on white pages such as the 'Align Screen' page, documents, IE, even the b/g of Programs and Settings looks perfect.
So it's safe to assume I don't have to send my unit back for warranty yeah? I just wanted to be sure before sticking my invisibleSHIELD on
btw, what screen/body protector are you using? I might have a spare invisibleSHIELD if you're interested.

you can try UITweaker,

I tried taking the a few screenshots and yes the gradient is there when viewed from the PC as well although less apparent. But yeah it's definitely the theme then.
When I was on the phone with HTC the girl also advised me to have my phone sent in to be checked... until I asked her "shouldn't you confirm this isn't normal before we proceed further"? lol
I was just wondering if a white background would consume more power than a black background for the theme settings.. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Depends on what phone you are using. The samsung and dell with their samoled screen consume more power with a white background. The htc phones are using s-lcd which means it doesn't matter if it is white or black. I prefer the white background on my HD7 it looks nicer.
Oh cool.. Im using a HD7.. Was using black in thinking that it will prolong battery life.. Now that you mention that, i'm switching to white =) Thanks =)
Black looks best.
I like black but it annoys me that the fonts on black look horrible. For instance, in settings, the small fonts distort when scrolling up and down. This doesn't occur on white. Nor does it occur on the Omnia 7 even when on black. So perhaps this is a HD7 issue, or perhaps it is just my HD7. Am interested to know if others have noticed it.
I hadn't noticed that. Now I'm bugged by it. Thanks.

Could you elaborate on this distorting text? I haven't noticed anything on my HD7 with black background. Text looks wonderful on this screen and Windows Phone 7.

just open the Settings page and scroll up and down slowly. Notice how the small subtext is a lot tougher to read while scrolling. That's what he is referring to I believe.
The text issue is called "ghosting" and is due to the low quality LCD panel on the HD7, which has a very low pixel response time.
It bugged me a lot on a black background. It's not noticeable on white.
Yep, as the other guys say. A better description than my original one is that the text has a "shimmer" when scrolling. It sort of fades out.
Rather than it being a panel issue, I think is might be a cleartype or font smoothing type of issue. Later on I'll do up a bitmap image with some text on it, and see if the problem occurs. If yes then it's a crap panel and if no then maybe fonts/cleartype/software and hope.
Another problem with the black background is you do see the backlight ever so slightly. Yes, I knew this, when I (now somewhat regretfully) chose it over the Omnia 7. Be good if Microsoft gave us more colour options, I'd probably use a very dark grey if available. My £99 ZTE Blade has far nicer blacks than my HD7 Sorry to rant. No need to flame. I think the HD7 will be the great WP7 hacker/modder device and this alone is enough for me.
I created a bitmap and emailed it to myself. The shimmering effect did occur when moving around. So it does seem like a screen or a screen driver problem, and nothing to do with fonts and the like.

I thought it was because grey on black has less contrast than grey on white. Could you do the same but instead of grey use white.
I have just again compared the scrolling of the settings page on my HD7 with my Trophy and there is a huge difference!!
On the Trophy's SLCD screen there is no ghosting and everything just flows and stays readable all the time.
Everything is just so much more vivid and vibrant on the Trophy !
It is indeed a shame that HTC have not used a SLCD screen for their flagship model
I've stayed with white I tried black for a bit but it did not look as contrasty as hoped.
Sorry tbk21, I can't try it as I sold the phone. Got loads of interest on Gumtree. HD7 is not the one for me. The speakers, the screen and the slow loading of sdcards. Sticking with my clunky Android for now. Maybe I'll be back for the second wave of WP7 phones.

Awesome thanks man
I don't know if this is how it is on the phone but in your picture the 'black' has a green square next to it. Also, does this overwrite the current accent colors? What I mean is, if I already have xboxmods SP1 installed will I now have like 3 different 'green' accents listed? If yes to the multiple 'green' accents, could this be fixed? If no, fantastic!
EDIT: One other thing. Would it be possible to have the names listed with spaces? For example at the top you have 'darker blue' (good) but lower down you have things like 'mediumblue' and 'oldlace' (bad grammar) and so on. It would just look better/more professional.

OMFGGTFOLMFAO!
Use your registry editor to do whatever you like!
This is the same List Box Selection listed in Microsoft Programming manual for Windows Phone 7 for making a Silverlight application with exception of adding
nokia blue, darker blue, darkest blue & navy seal blue.
I added those in myself.
They are simply 6 digit html color codes along with an added alpha channel
Every color needed 3 lines of code in the registry properly named and numbered
We did it buy the book so this is as professional as possible! If you want to rewrite the book or the registry or make a nice video tutorial for someone to learn something buy all means be my gest.
If you want to take your phone to lows or home depot & mach up color names please to so!
Everything has now been hardcoded in to the registry. The colors where actually already there but the registry values had not been written yet! Microsoft gave us 10 colors & allowed careers to add 3 of their likening for business purposes the problem is with both Windows mobile 6.5 & Windows phone 7 is that Microsoft gave us the bare minimum of what we actually needed without customization options.
Which is the #1 reason why wp7 is not more popular than android.
They just wanted to make something that worked well & be light in size.
When Microsoft make something thay don’t make it to look good. They make it to work good. Because if it works good then it will look good! ;~) So now it works & looks good! You have 154 new colors in your system that take up almost no space. I whooping 33.34kb is next to nothing! & on top of that you can now customize your phone in the blink of an eye!
Keep in mind that some of the colors don’t mix well with the dark & light background!
For instance if your using darkest blue on a black background you have trouble reading the darkest blue text! & other visual problems will occur with the mix of serein colors.
As you can see a lot of medium & light colors have been implemented because most use a dark background however we could possibly make more darker & darkest colors!
The darker your tiles the less battery drainage!
I note there are 2 blues 2 to greens but they different shades.
In time more colors will eventually be added!
The 10 default colors are not named correctly but more or less just simple easy to see colors.
You can simply remove or rename any accent color you like.
I had to do a lot to get you guys here and I had also a lot of help to bring you this
However I don’t exactly feel like typing up 50 names of thanks so I will just say thanks to everyone! I just cranked out lines & lines of code on top of a lot of other work I’m doing this was just a side project please don’t say its not profesonal it’s a gift. Unwrap it!
I also converted to HTML (Hyper Text Markup Lang) But nvm enjoy!
also feal free to make 100.000.000 more! & share hear!
Works great !!! very good job , now plenty themes to choose from !!! nice work.
I can confirm that to..works great!sooo many colors

Yes there is,
Black 000000 displays as what ever color you have set to your theme to at the time of picking it.
If you pick black it will work just fine with the exeption of you not being able to read black text on a black background.

We just did!
Nice colors! Thanks, but I have duplicates how can I remove them easily?
Is there a remove cab so I can delete all existing colors before re-applying?
Why doesn't your Colors cab just overwrite the ones already there?
I already use a program called Advanced Config. It lets you make your own colors on the phone, rename them and much more.
Mod Edit: Attachments removed per OP request. ~TRM
Well, for those of us that prefer not to have duplicate colors listed in an already very large list, I have edited the color rgu in the CAB and attached it to this post in a zip. All it needs is to be re-added to the cab and resigned, something xboxmod would have to do. I also fixed the theme names so that there are spaces in-between the words in the name. For example 'AliceBlue' is now 'Alice Blue' as this offers a much more professional and polished look for the end user.
EDIT 1: I'll ask xboxmod if he can build the cab again for us. If he does I'll post it here. I don't want to take any credit for this as it is a good idea that wasn't mine, I just want a better end result.
EDIT 2: xboxmod was nice enough to rebuild the cab but I noticed some errors I overlooked so I will be fixing those and then pestering xboxmod again.
EDIT 3: Ok, so I have edited jackrabbit's cab so that it should have no duplicates (this is assuming 7720+SP1 or higher) and have the names with proper spacing. Enjoy!
jackrabbit72380,
I would like to say THANK YOU for your gift!

Thare is a bug in the Accsent colors made with Advanced config.
The program uses old version of "xxxx_ThemeResources.xaml" & "xxxx_System.Windows.xaml".
There is some applications that wont display text corectly.
Also thare are not duplicate colors In COLORS.cab If you have duplicate colors then you can simply remove them with a registry editer as I stated in my second post.
We dont want an advanced config! Insted we have advanced system menu with all tweeks cooked in. witch is what we try & do.
just navigate to...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/ControlPanel/Themes/0/Accents & HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/ControlPanel/Themes/1/Accents & HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/ControlPanel/Themes/AccentsDisplayName
Then remove the values you like.
In all 3 directorys for each accsent!
Honistly you should not even have to do this.

dont think thats true, the back light is always on and is consistant across the screen, the display panel then has several layers of filters, electrodes and other molecules which light passes through, to display darker colours the display needs to block more light coming through, which in a tiny way, will use more energy. If you want to use less energy you need to block less light, ie have a white background and have a primary (light) colour
Yes, Geek alert!
i doubt its even measurable on our devices so i wouldnt worry but for hardcore energy savers, light is the way to go with colours, dark is the way to go with backlight (thats the biggest energy blackhole we have)

I set one of the new colors yesterday, and this morning I noticed my phone was very sluggish. I switched back to one of the original colours, and my phone was immediately back to normal speed. This cab was the only thing I changed on my phone yesterday, so I think there could be an issue somewhere.
Also, the new colours don't take effect inside 3rd party apps like Whatsapp. I don't mean the tile, I mean inside the program (e.g. A-Z in contacts) where the new colours always show up as the default blue.
