Hello guys
I was wondering how possible could it be to get options for the forum skin on the user personal preferences?
I would really like a dark color for the forum, is easier on the eyes.
Thank you
seems that you are a weird guy
Brightnes colors are easy for the eye, you know (have you ever heard about that you must to watch tv with lights on!?)

They are better if there are other sources of light around other than the screen, however if the environment is dark a darker screen will be easier on the eye.
I am in front of the monitor as my only source of light most of the times, so for me a darker skin would be great.

it would appear that you're using the (W)VGA version with a WQVGA device. Try the (W)QVGA version in the first post.

researching.
Thanks m. carroll. I was hoping you'd put this out. So far, it's working great on build 23420.
Thank-U!!! I love your themes they rock; I will publish in my kitchen when released, with all due credit
All the best - DA
PureBlack?
With all due respect (and genuinely mean that, cause I sure as hell haven't been able to create anything of the sorts... although I'm still trying) But for "PureBlack3" There sure is a lot of white and faded shades of gray rather than black. if it's call pure black, then make all the backgrounds in the menu's, and GUI in general, that are usually white... make those black, invert the font colors, and you'll be amazed just at how much batter life alone you will be saving people. The handset expends little to no power to display a black pixel, because there is simply nothing to display. Displaying a white pixel uses the most battery power. It's also really helpfull when usign the handset in a night time vehicular setting because you have less light distracting your vision.
Could maybe it be possible if you were so inclined, when creating PureBlack4, or perhaps a PureBlack3a, truly make it as pure black as possible.
I apologize if in anyway this post is insulting or derrogatory, for that was not my intention. Keep up the good work.

With respect, I disagree.
As an electrical engineer, I can confidently assure you that the color of a pixel has an unnoticeable effect on battery life. Black backgrounds would have no effect on battery life. The backlight is the battery-drainer, and the theme has nothing to do with that. Other than that, the way that WM is written, it's almost impossible to do what you're suggesting. My aim was to give a "mostly black" theme that the Microsoft set of themes were missing. I suppose your argument on the semantics of the theme name is correct, but I guess that's why I'm not an english major
Thanks for the suggestion!
Dear Cooks,
We love you dearly, and we respect and value all the sleepless ours you spend on making our phones look and work beautifully.
But I think I'll speak for a lot of people here (maybe even a majority?) if I dare to say that we are tired of the perpetual darkness of every manila theme out there.
I understand that phone is black, and it's all-business, and black looks classy... but every single rom out there is ever completely black, or very dark. It's seriously making me depressed.
I, for one, use my phone at work so much that I'm starting to worry about buttons/screen wearing out. I sync with exchange and I'm all pro-work, but I still want it to be colorful and bright.
Browsing through our awesome collection of ROMs in this thread I can't help but think how much it'd benefit from having some brightly-colored themes cooked-in in the ROMs Manila.
Here's hoping that this could be one of the ways we can have even more fun with our devices,
Me.
P.S: Here's an awesome alternative to the eternal darkness in our Manila. It's not finished yet, and it looks like developers could use a hand.
yes, but u can install them afterwards
cant u

Nope, if you look at the official WM6.5 Theme thread, they are all dark/black. Some dark blue ones, and many poorly-designed/unfinished ones.
Besides, properly updating manila's design isn't that easy or reliable as changing WM's theme. A good, fully-integrated, fully-working bright theme is yet to be seen.

Have you posted a request for a bright theme in the "Rhodium...Themes and Apps" sub-forum?
I've seen quite a few colorful themes there, by the way...even if they're not to my taste.

Don't think I did, at least I don't recall.
There are no complete colorful themes. Bright wallpapers don't count - you can't read Manila's text on anything that's not black or very dark. Open a calendar tab to see what I mean.
If I missed some, please point me to it, but I don't think I have.
malina is not so good.

Hi!
I've been trying out different ROMS and most of them look pretty decent, but coming from a HTC MyTouch 4g, what I've missed the most is one theme/Rom that is actually NOT black/dark, but has "lighter"-background (ie., light greyish) menus and, particularly, light-background boxes for the menus that pop from the bottom when you press, well, the menu button (how do you call those boxes? I've had a lots of trouble trying to run a proper search).
Any pointers or recommendations on where to look for a theme like this would be much appreciated!

I'm working on a new theme called White Fire. It should be out in the next few days. All menus and popups are white. Check out the phoenix and Firefly Themes thread in the next few days.
Hey, sounds great! Looking forward to seeing it!
By the way, why is the overwhelming majority of (or all) themes black? White looks so much more modern

I am also working on a white theme called PISS...polar bear in snow storm.
In all seriousness, I believe that most themes are black in nature to conserve battery life.

Actually, if you followed Android OS then you would know black is actually more modern. Go get a G1 and look at how the 1.5/1.6 theme is, and that came first.
Black/dark is better for battery life on a SAMOLED. It's why Gingerbread is dark/black for the Nexus S.
I am looking for an amoled oriented theme, I prefer something close to stock look and feel but with lots of pure blacks instead of all the bright backgrounds. Does anyone know one or can make one?

The black theme by Cogul. It adds some strange wireframe boxes around the icons but if you don't mind that this is a blacked out theme.

The problem is that there are many dark themes, but for AMOLED power efficiency, we need black themes, as in 0x000000 black.

Bought the US version and Like the phone but I see only two color settings. The srgb mode is too dark and dull and would be better if I got to add some more saturation to it. The colorful mode is too colorful and the reds are too extreme. Are these really the only two options we get?

Yep. Unfortunately they completely stripped the Chinese ROM in bring it to the worldwide community in favor of a mostly vanilla android. They also stripped out gesture navigation which was in the Chinese ROM and is actually baked into Android Pie! SMH.

Sad I guess I played myself. Even the honor 6X I have now came better calibrated than these 2 extremes and the display on the 6x is inferior. Is it really that difficult adding a saturation slider or color temp controls? I can tell the panel on this thing is pretty good but having the colors blast my face on colorful mode and everything looking dead on SRGB is BAD with no in between. I guess I should have been more patient but now I'm definitely going to look at the phones in store prior to buying. And I suppose software support isn't a meme either but lesson learned I'll do my homework next time. I don't bank on maybes when it comes to expecting more features added or potential roms looking at the red magic mars because that would fix a lot. Thanks for the reply.
