Is there anyway to make the contact picture of a friend bigger in the dialer screen?
You can try the Eten Dialer. It has a larger piture frame than the standard dialer.
You can find it at BuzzDev.
How does one go about creating his own dial background. I'd like to have my pics in the back of the dial screen. But i can't find how they create those skins
Nothing considered to the others contribution in a land of wonderfull brains, but here is my 2c
Playing with image files in \windows\ dir, I've discovered that a lot can be changed with no effort only playing with these files.
I've made a test (attached both .psd file and result) with the phonepad input method.
As you can see the result is all blue, but if you use it, the ABC/T9 and 123/SYM are still grey: that's because you need to edit also the 2 specific files.
You can also mod other sh*t like (never tried):
- phonepad = Dialer_Normal_L.bmp and Dialer_pressed_L.bmp
- Endkey
- save to contact
- add word (to t9)
- call log buttons
- incoming calls
- and more...
I've also tried to change the green highlight in manila home, but no luck. even if I changed all the green bars I found, nothing changed.
And, worst, I didn't find the background of the other tabs
cheers
Thanks heaps for this! I really love the keypad style for when you enter the SIM pin (Black and green). Will try to get the same style for phone pad when I get home from work.
When you find out how to change the green highlight let me know.

If you find that out that would be great as well
btw the green png files I've changed in blu are the ones of the selection of input (phonepad, keyboard ecc) and of the comm manager
I try to change the dialpad, but, after software reset, nothing changed.
I've looked throu the windows dir, but I only found the dialer files, I would like to change the full qwerty (all 3 if possible)to black with green presses
edit:
it seems that they changed the color of the phonepad in this thread:

Goooooddd Idea!
I second the notion.
Luck fellass
I went through a lot of themes and pulled the FONT files!
Have fun!!
Special thanks to NisseDILLIGAF and this post for showing me the files.
Hope you don't mind I made a cab for the black and white to be able to uninstall easier
I haven't tested them yet, so let me know if there is a problem.
any way to get blue cabbed up as well?
Post #2 UPDATED
thank you!
does this work for all the tabs?
Hello,
I've try the cab files.
I put the file in the internal storage, i execute the cab, i insall in the device.
I do a soft reset, and there is nothing to change.
I've try with the 3 cab files.
Can you help me ?
thank you
Has anyone preview pictures?
I need a cab file only for the home tab, because there I change the wallpaper, so I need to change the font color.
-> the 77faa36d_manila only changes alarm font in Home tab and font Settings Tab. What is with "Calendar, Call History ..." in Home Tab?
For me, when i execute the cab ,it isn't change home tab for the text "calls","calendar", this text is white again so that i execute black cab file.
But for example when i go to message tab, the text messages are black.
i want that the text on home tab change also.
The cab changes the text in all the other screens except the Home screen. For some reason, on the contacts screen, all the text disappeared when I was using the blueish font cab. I just uninstalled it and reinstalled Manila once again. My phone doesn't like most of these cabs because my Manila always gets messed up and I end up spending the next 20mins or so uninstalling/reinstalling to get my flip clock back.
I wish there was a cab that was more (for lack of a better term) 'hotswappable' so I could change things on the fly... without uninstalling/reinstalling. You know, just go into the specific program, select what font color I want to use, hit apply (or something) and viola! I'm done and back to other things.
strongly that it is possible to have a cab file that allow to change color text Home screen because i can't to put the wallpaper that i want.
I wait with impatience.
In installed the black font cab and everything worked except for the calender tab. And for some reason my weather tab just said text at the top and didnt show any weather. So i uninstalled the cab and weather was back and the font stayed black. So my only question is how to i default my font color back when i decide to change my background to a dark color and want the white and grey default?
I have the white font cab for a back up incase but if anyone knows that would be awesome.
I got the same problem with the cabs. I installed the white cab and the weather was gone. I removed it and it was back. Also, when installed my icons under the contact person picture (such as the home, send sms, office, short cuts are gone) Thanks.
The font on some tabs is changed but TF3D keep crashing, tabs aren't loading and the soft keys are getting stuck after going on tabs.
Thanks anyway but its just not working for me
Thanks, Chris

Guys, did you succeed with changing home screen font? I need all the text (or at least the appointment details) to turn white. Is that possible?
This doen't work with manila 2.1.
I managed to change some text in some of the manila files but it's hard to find the right files to change...
does anybody know why these fonts are not working?
or can anybody tall me where to get these manila 2.5 files in multiple colors?
I've tried to above 3 cabs, these did not work after installing and softreset
also replacing the manila files itself did not do anything at all
Thanks a lot
HTC TOPAZ (Touch Diamond 2)
NhatHoa ROM 6.5.3.11.3 NLD 28-01-2010

I tried it on the stock 6.1 sprint tf3d and it didnt change the home screen but changed all the other screens to black. I just want the home screen changed black because we have a photo on there and you cant see the white text. all the other screens I want to stay white...
Good Morning,
I've just tried to skin my whole phone with metro/wp7. So far I managed to skin pretty much everything but the Messaging App and Active Sync background. It should be black like the background when composing a message.
Here the screen-shots of both (changing the font is no problem, thanks to UItweek):
Screenshot 1 and 2 in the attachment
And thats the way the "composing a message" windows looks like and the inbox should look as well:
Screenshot 3 in the attachment
Thanks for the help
PS: My ROM is Energy.BLACKSTONE.23678.Sense2.5.Cookie.DinikGlass.Aug.18.
Looks great! Good Job!
What would the threaded messages window look like , like pic 2 or 3?
I really like the threaded messages window so I'll post it too. It looks like it should with black background...
Any ideas?
how to change the threaded messages window background color?
That was pretty simple. Either you use UItweak http://www.freewareppc.com/download/utilities/uitweaker.shtml or look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=603905 if you want a picture as background.
The problem: Both won't change the Inbox window background and that's what I want.
i download the ui tweaker but having dificulties on which options to change outlook/sms thread background color, can you point me? thanks
that's exactly my problem, i can't change the inbox background just the background for viewing and typing messages.
If you want to change the "viewing and typing" background just go to "SysColor Changer". Change there the color to black (I don't know which one exactly you have to change for this effect. I changed pretty much every background to black and the font to a light blue. With white font you won't be able to see the text in the inbox window)
In the attachment you'll find my sys file. I tried to style my phone a bit wp7/metro like. just rename it to blue-black.sys (xda won't let me upload a *.sys file) and import it.
thanks, i'll play a little with it
if you have a solution for my problem, plz post it
Is there anyone with a solution or is it posted in the wrong section?
I think its better to close this thread now. Maybe there is simply no answer to that question.
OP, did you ever figure out how to change the background?
I have a theme that has the text input section black, but the chat log section is grey. I want to change the background to black but I can't figure out how.
Can someone please tell me how I can edit a .tsk file to make a black background for threaded sms? I've been searching everywhere and I can find which specific edit I need to make to change the background SMS window colour. Also the font colour for that window will need to be changed to white.
I'm trying to edit this theme I have attached.
Here is a screen shot of how it looks now. and the other screen shot is roughly how I want it to look (with black background).

Hi bobzero
I'm sorry but I never worked out how to get this done. I have skinned the "message writing window" by using UITweak. Maybe yours is not skinned because I've used an Energy ROM and there HTC Messaging is disabled.
At the moment I'm using Sense again with a very good looking X-mas theme. Maybe after Christmas I'll "return" to WP7.
The pocket outlook and contacts background is definied by the "gradient" color values under the registry
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Color]
There are four keys named 15, 16, 36, 37 which are the alternating left to right gradient colours. You could set all of them to a single value to get a solid background color.
I find these through a Japanese customisation software called "PocketHand"
