Original HTC background - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

I searched but didn't do a great job. Awhile back I downloaded from here I assume is a stock HTC Kaiser theme that was black which made the windows mobile task bar and such a black/grey color. I had to do a hard reset on my phone yesterday to help with some issues that were plaguing my phone like not allowing me to answer calls, text messages, not allowing me to write text messages and not letting me turn the phone off using the on/off button. I was hoping someone still had this background floating around. I'd love to get it back cause the blue and green from before you do anything looks terrible. Also I've KasierTweaked my dialer and it stays blue for some reason. I wondered if the original black theme changed its color on the dialer pad making for a grey background and black key pad or if its a download. I just remember it looks like the WM version but was just black and grey in color. Trying to get my phone back to how I liked it. Thanks.

problem with my screen? 'colour gradient' on Diamond

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....

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......
crash74:
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.

That should be the theme issue....
you can try UITweaker,
go to TdyScheme Changer > change all the 4 list(left 1 & 2 + right 1 & 2) color to white...
cheers,...
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

[Q] Skin the Inbox/SMS, ActiveSync

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"

ICS white contact list Battery Drain

Hi
Since going to ICS CM9 I noticed that a lot of the OS is white instead of black, particularly the contact list and text message screens which we use a lot. This surely must be draining the battery a lot. Is there a way to change it back to black ie invert it?
Also the 2nd screen which comes up when reading a long SMS message is not present in ICS (the large white font on black background). I miss that. HAs anyone tried getting that back?
I don't want to go back to gingerbread but its looking like I might have to!
Inverted google apps, search for it, or you can get a theme like blue infinitum.

[Q] Lollipop Update - White Button and Menu Background Color?

Sorry if this has been asked but I Googled and couldn't find much (I suspect because of the keywords- it wants to show me how to change the background or how it's available in white)... but, after the 5.0 update, there is one "annoyance" setting that I'm hoping can be reverted. Everything is now white instead of black (menus, app drawer, etc.). Can this be reverted to the darker theme easily?
As far as I know there is no way to revert to the "black theme".
Oddly, G's news app has a dark theme built in, but thats the only one I can find
