Hi, sorry to post but i don't really know how to search for what I'm after
I just want to change the windows keys at the top of the bottom of the screen to solid black instead of the shiny grey gradient.
Can I directly change a graphics file? and if so where is it?
Thanks for your help

Is this not possible, I had a go with the Theme maker program, but then when I output to WM6 it retains the shiny black bars that I would really like to have in solid black

I think maybe you should search for a skinning program? or a skin that does what your thinking of.
Can you post a screenshot or picture to show exactly what you mean?
Or do you mean, bars like these?

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
yeah, how did you do that, there is no vertical gradient, i like that but i would prefer it all black
what skinning program will do that? does the program have to run in the background all the time or is it a one time operation to set the skin?

Hi:
After I installed a solid black theme, which I use, now the top and bottom bars appear solid in all themes with black bars. You could give it a shot. Not sure if it will work, but it will be easy to test. Just install the theme I attach here, then try another theme with black bars, and see if it works . For some reason it worked on mine.
Another way is to use a theme editor (I use Themegence), and use black bars for WM5, that too makes them solid black.
Anyway, I hope this works for you
Cheers for your help guys
I used UI Tweaker in the end, it did exactly what I wanted, then I used some other things I found on here to hide the top and bottom bars,now it looks perfect!!

Does anyone have a CAB to make WM5 have the glossy bars (top and bottom) like WM6?
Thanx.
not that i know off only way is to install wisbar or someother whole gui change program
So, the only "OS" way around it would be to move to a WM6 flavor?
Thanx.
Here it is, but it was super easy to find in a search.
Well, yes, I located that with the "super easy search" as well. However, it is not working on WM5.
Thanx.
Oh Okay. Did you put the uzipped .exe file in your Windows/startup folder, then soft reset?
What happens when you do that?
Yes.
I copied the "Glossy Black Bars.exe" to my "\Windows\Startup" folder.
Unfortunately, as you'll see by the screen shot below, I only have dark grey bars and without the "3-D" look of WM6.
Thanx.

The glossy look is a feature built in on WM6, it has nothing to do with .tsk theme files.
You can get here a program that emulates it, but it only works right if you have cleartype disabled...

Cool...I'll try it and let ya know.
Thanx.
Well, we're definitely 50% closer with this one. It is only working on the top bar though.
Thanx.
Here is a file if just want to remove your contacts bar. Just put the .exe file in your Windows/startup folder.

i used this application... works well, screwed up the text as seen in the screenshot though... any workaround for this?
That's the cleartype that active/not active, change it.
thanks

hey thnx for the tip bro.... works lika charm on my htc gene... had to deactivate the cleartype.. looking fwd for updates like if anyone can make a cab out of it n also change the menu language to english
you can also start and keep the application hidden from task managers (screen shot attached showing the settings.ini)
I originally made this for by TP2 bretheren, but it should work on the Imagio as well (will know for sure on Monday, unless somebody wants to test for me before then).
Hit up the TP2 / TF3D section of my website (link in signature)
Im running the biohazard on my imagio and the color settings i love em. thanks
Cool... Glad you like em
Thanks i have been looking for something like this. Got the checkered flag and the better looking sense icons!!

Can you provide a screenshot of this?
still getting a screen shot
only noticeable with clear tab not any of the colored or themed tabs
just when tab icon overlaps slider icon
still getting a screen shot
I had somebody else mention that on the Imagio as well..
Lemme play with one and see what I can find out
Just to be clear.. you are trying to to use the SenseUI for TF3D package that I made?
what is happening? I used this on my imagio and it worked like a charm check it out...

I was just thinking that if i get time i might clean the icons up to show up more crisp on our screens
Go for it...
and as far as the overlap.. I don't know what to say.
I tried this out on a stock Imagio here at work and could not duplicate the problem
If you are talking about the overlap in my pic dont worry about it. I took a screen shot while i was holding down the slider. That is not how it normally looks. And i tried editing but i used package creator to open the .cab and all i can edit is the RGU and the DSM. Ill keep trying
OH!
I thought that was the problem you were having with it...
Then what is the problem you first mentioned?
I didnt have a problem that was shaba10k. But i just wanted to clean up the edges a little of the icons. If you look at my screenshot they look like they still have some white around them. Or it just formatted the colors incorrectly when they were saved.
The slider icons worked great on my Imagio. I've seen screen shots of color icons for the Call History and Calendar items on the homescreen as well. Do you make a cab for this? Or does anyone know where I could find one?
The call history icons are around on the forums somewhere. I did not make them.
Hope you guys like this. I have two versions, one with a center 'Phone' icon, and one without. Screenshots below
I'll take requests for different colors too! just ask
Colors so far:
Blue
Black
With Center Phone Icon(Change Center Icon to provided blank icon)

edit:
made it, check the attachments.
I like the dock. How do I set the center icon to be the phone application without putting another icon on top of it? I'm not sure if the issue I'm having is clear. Basically, when I assign the center button to be a shortcut to the phone, it makes me choose an icon for it. The icon I choose lays on top of the phone icon that you have in your image file. How can I fix this?
i provided an blank icon that you can pick
I downloaded the BlueDock.zip file. In it, I see 3 Images:
BlueDock.png
BlueDock_nobutton.png
screenshot_2.png
I don't see any blank icon. Am I missing something?
Also, May I suggest that instead of using a blank icon, can the colorful phone Icon be provided seperately and used on top of the noicon image? That way when you scroll through docks, the phone Icon will scroll with the other icons. Also, this would give the option of not having the phone be the center Icon on every dock.
just noticed the first zip had the wrong file in it! added now!
Where u get that wallpaper?
Nice docks, I'm using the blue one now!

great work! what's your taskbar?

rss hubs first page is not skinned and opera url box text has changed color to light gray.
thx!
taskbar
font color change my later
can you make a cab for the bottom softkeybar? Any progress with fixing the bugs?
awesome work!!!! looks gr8...yah..xcpt 4 some bugs...it is a gr8 job...keep it up!!!
This looks very nice
Man, update this project, skin looks VERY good.
I can see clearly, that grey app bkg WILL be a problem, so consider skipping it in another version(every windows(mobile or desktop one) is not made for dark app bkgs.
For a moment I was confused. But now I understand it is a WM6.5.X theme, instead of a skin for Opera LOL. Thanks bro, looks nice...
Looks very nice. Will give it a try..
Thanks.
btw: How you get apps icon in task bar? Are you using wktask in a 6.5.x version? In that case, how u get same background?
the portal data this is for wm 6.5 and up, but it doesn't do anything on my tmous official ROM.
Great work, wqiting for final work
Using XDA App on HTC HD2
Tried it!
I tried your theme and loved it... Unfortunately emails are very difficult to read because the text and background are both dark; making the theme useless for me. I have found this problem with most dark themes which sucks because they look so good. Is there anyway to fix this so that emails have contrasting background and text colors?... Everything else looks sweet!!
Hey, 6opu , what about WM 6.5 theme? )
Works well on 6.5. But have issue with RSS like on page before (have NO opera hard readable text). Still working on this! Also had black text on grey backgr in all menus, but i already told the author how to fix this.
Sorry, I wasn't real sure where to put this. The screen shot pretty much says it all.
I'm using the theme here, for MIUI, yet this happens on all the popular dark themes I've tried. It's very hard to see the gray text containing address info against the gray background with the popup results menu in Google Navigation.
Is there an easy fix for this? Thanks.

I've always had the same problem. Never found a solution except to use light themes.

LOL??? thanks for pointing this out.. i just spotted this in my theme and totally missed it.. so im going to work on this right away!!
Certainly, it's like this on a lot of themes, even the default on.
I know it's part of the framework, but I don't know what specifically needs to edited to change this without affecting the rest of the theme.
Have you tried this:
(I'm using a French rom, so all the terms I'm going to use may be not the good ones in English..)
Go to Settings, Applications Manager, search and tap on Google Navigation in your apps list, then de-activate Compatibility Mode.. It worked for me with some unreadable white on white texts..
If it doesn't work (sorry about it, first.. ), just re-activate Compatibility Mode (just in case)
