Having recently installed XBmod Manila Rhodium VGA Port (here) i was annoyed that my comm manager skin was still the stock O2 blue skin
I search for ages to try and find someone how had made a black one, the closest i came was this which isnt black and this which had render issues and had the white left buttons, so it might not be perfect but i made one.
If anyone has any suggestions or the original Manila Rhodium VGA background on its own please send it and your suggestions over and i will see what i can do.
Also ive design this so it will just replace your existing skin and not change the existing options on your comm manager page like add the 3g button if you dont already have it.
PS ignore the background looking so crap in the screen shot, this is largely because of soti pocket controllers preview mode being a lower colour base.

I've not really liked the pink/purple of the T-Mobile comm manager icons, so I installed duttythroy's 10 button one.
I really like the simplicity of the of these icons, and the blue is my fave color.
What I want to do is change as much of the graphics as possible (home screen, dialer screen and others) to be the same style as the comm manager.
Any ideas of how to do this?
Any help ?
Check out Schaps Rom for Hermes.... in one release you will find the necessary cabs for comm manager, audio manager, htc home and so on... as well as schaps black theme. give it a try - dont forget to make a backup.
If you look in the \windows folder you will find all the .png files you are looking for they are HH_*.png and L_*.png and #.png If you edit them and change them around and put them back into the \windows dir on your phone they will change the appearance
Take a look here I have done some http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335652

Nice icons
I have almost got it like I want it.
The only problem is the Home background.
I have PaintShopPro 7 and I have created some backgrounds, but when I use start> settings> home to select the background they get displayed very pixellated and as if the brightness has been turned up very high on the image.
I have tried several file formats for them as well.
I've got installed:
HTChome customizer
duttythroy WMP touch skin
Sharkey48 Softkey Changer
jizy HTC Action Screen
RC Mod v.2.1 by o3blig
Deathace MDA Vario III de-Brand
ScaryBear Software QuickTasks (reports database not available dialogue, then shows as it should on homescreen)
Resco (explorer, photo viewer pro, registry editor)
AE Software AE Button Plus
lokmeup IE Slow Scroll Fix
Windows Live 10.6.33.0600 (which only shows the loading for less than a second and does nothing)
try using the built in photo viewer app to set the today screen wallpaper. Make sure to select 0% for the transparency.
Yep...
That's sorted it
Hi,
Searched the forums but can't find this-
Looking for a black dialer skin for my Tilt-not a HTC one,and not a customized one(with different fonts for the buttons/or buttons), just the same dialpad as the ATT stock ROM, but in black.
Any help?
Alemaker
Registry:
HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin
"Enabled" = 0
This turns off the stupid AT&T Blue Dialer Skin.
You must reset your device before the skin change will happen.
This registry tweak also disables the HTC SmartDialer program. Is there a way to have your cake and eat it, too?
Solved-sort of
got one REAL close to basic black!!
SpbBlack47_DialerSkin
background has greyish marble-like veins-cool!!
Doesn't disable smartdialer either!
attached a pic and the cab!!!
woohoo!!
Alemaker
These skins work with the Smart Dialer
http://www.zombienexus.net/portal/GL_Display.asp?SEC=3&EntryID=512
They've got bigger buttons (not as big as Touch Dialer), and they're available in a bunch of colors.
I'm going to try to reverse Engineer the ETEN Dialer and skins that PaulyA was working on. Hardest part should be creating the Photoshop template.
Speaking of which, now that ETEN has released their new WM6 phones, anyone ripped the dialer prog from them yet? Would be nice to see if they updated it for WM6.

how do you make the text white? i installed the supplied cab on my tilt and the text is yellow.
Alemaker-
Great look on that dialer. Very oem!
Black Dialer...
I went and created my own, but now that I've seen the SpbBlack47 one, I'm going to make some modifications to it. Here's the Black Screen I plan on using. Let me know if you'd like it.
Be careful with goestoeleven's advice. According to the zombienexus website: "Saturday November 17 2007 update: Note: Newer HTC models (HTC Tytn II / Kaiser and HTC Touch) have their own custom dialpads, these skins aren't suitable for them. Do not install! You might have to hard reset if you cannot remove these skins via remove in settings." (http://www.zombienexus.net/portal/page_display.asp?pid=3) I have seen people on other forums report serious problems with these dialpads/skins on their Tilts.
I have downloaded some of the focus color change files from XDA and found that they were very incomplete, missing many of the other 'green' elements in vanilla manila, so I made a new one, which includes the focus elements for the landscape icons too. It also has a reg edit to change the enlarged start menu and task manager highlights to gray.
Other colors could be made on request.
EDIT the communications menu is NOT orange if you use this with stock HTC black theme (but for some reason on the Alltel theme I tested it with it was), I did not check this, I guess the manila file names on Fuze manila comm menu are different. I did catch little things like the audio progress bar etc, but I will update soon to fix the Comm menu, with new colors too...
and yes my typed response didn't make any sense and here are some pics
EDIT 2 I figured it out - I am running a custom comm manager from my Juicy CDMA rom - so I have included those files in a revised version that is now 100% all green graphics to orange
EDIT 3 I have also added an optional orange tab cab file for the lower scrolling icon area - personal preference if you like this.
EDIT 4 I have fixed the transparency issues on the opera focus so it looks better, not shown in pictures below
v4 has bug fixes with text below opera globe
ADDITIONAL COLORS CAN BE FOUND IN MY ADDITIONAL POSTS IN THIS THREAD
what?
what did u do exactly?
got any pics..ur wording just confused the crap outta me.
Late,
Jstar
pics or it never happened.
i am not going to the trouble of posting pics, since really if you know what I don't know what I meant by the focus color then don't worry about it - the stock fuze scheme has an orange focus, this is designed for people using the HTC black pro manila (or any custom theme that orange would go with)..
but if you need an explanation in TF3D when you highlight and option on the home screen, or in one of the settings menus etc there is a colored highlight behind it. On the stock HTC black theme that highlight is green, on Sprint it is yellow etc etc. There are already some cabs in the diamond forums that change the colors but a) they did not change all the items that needed changing in color - I went through all the manila image files and found all the files that have this focus color - and b) did not change the color for the manila landscape icons....
instead of u typing a story about it..wouldnt it simpler to just say here are some focus color mods yadda yadda followed by a screen shot.
u say u wont post a pic..but yet ull go thru the troubles of stifiling thru all those manilla files..whats one more step
save the typing for mavis beacon..post pics
Late,
Jstar
EDIT :
and ur right " i know what u dont know "
yes my response was unintelligible - please see pics and EDIT above
could you do a light almost neon blue/white perhaps?
already have icons in landscape and portrait but the highlight color matching would be great

start with the blue i requested above before you get too swamped
well first I have to fix the comm menu
I figured it out I think - I am running a custom comm manager from my Juicy CDMA rom, so if you are running stock comm manager the standard cab 'should' change the comm manager colors too - could someone confirm this for me ?
I've been messing with this for some time now and finally got the start bar changed, but cannot figure out the Manila stuff.
If you have a chance to do one in pink, that would be amazing. I'm looking for something similar to hex code #F780C7.
I've seen a lot of other colors for things done, but nothing pink, maybe there are not as many females? So if you get a chance - I know I'd love to see it!!
I have the files to fix the comm manager issues I was having, and then I will work on some unique colors - I will do ones that are not seen as much, such as an ice/aqua blue, a hot and powder pink, Charcoal, .....etc
what about some red, yellow and pink
no seriously...some pink for my girl
EDIT 2 I figured it out I think - I am running a custom comm manager from my Juicy CDMA rom - so I have included those files in a revised version that is now 100% all green graphics to orange
EDIT 3 I have also added an option orange tab for the lower scrolling icon area - personal preference if you like this.
Now that I have finalized the Orange version other colors will be forthcoming
Updated files in first post
Light Pink
Here is my next color - a very light pink...really on suitable for TF3D themes with a dark font (ie doesn't work too well on my stock HTC black theme)
THIS IS NOT THE PINK REQUESTED in an earlier post - a darker one will be coming
Again there is separate cab for the pink tab, if you would like that too.
BTW the comm and audio manager focus files are not 'manila' files - they are simply png's in your windows folder on the device, so just changing the manila files doesn't change everything. Here are the file names that you need to edit
SIPMenu_BottomMenuItem_HL.png
SIPMenu_BottomMenuItem_HL_LS.png
SIPMenu_MenuItem_HL.png
SIPMenu_MenuItem_HL_LS.png
SIPMenu_TopMenuItem_HL.png
SIPMenu_TopMenuItem_HL_LS.png
Status_On.png
Status_On_Disable.png
L_Button_Down.png
L_Button_Focus.png
option-check-box-on.png

P_Symbol_lock-lightOFF.png

Save_to_contact_checkbox_Check.png
ses_btn_eq_chked.png
ses_slr_bar_2f.png
ses_slr_bar_2lf.png
ses_slr_thumb_2f.png
Also these files will not change the focus in HTC apps like the camera etc - that is something I will work on eventually.
EDIT - text "launch Browser' was missing from under the opera globe in v1 - please use v2 cab attached and disregard error showing this in image in the post
Light Blue
As above, Icon tab is optional separate cab
EDIT - text "launch Browser' was missing from under the opera globe in v1 - please use v2 cab attached and disregard error showing this in image in the post. Also the name that was in the add/remove program list said pink for these cabs..they are fixed
How do you install this into your phone?
I recently hard reset my phone, as im still running the stock rom, it drives me up the wall having put back my theme mods.
So ive made a cab which will install:
flat black start/program bar today theme tsk (no more beveled bar)
large start menu background (if you have touchflow large start menu on)
flat black wallpaper
works great with Manila Rhodium VGA
