Hello, I am the newbie to use PPC, if I change the diamond wallpaper, the fonts of call history and calender will be difficult to read if the wallpaper is light color. Anybody know how to change the fonts color on that? Thanks!

At the moment the font colour for the TF3D cant be changed. If you really want to use your light color wallpaper you can consider installing Diamond TF3D config and use a different (theme) TF3D version which has a dark font colour easily. With this you can also roll-back to your original TF3D version as well.
You can find TF3D Config's thread as a sticky on the first page. The link to different themes page is also available inside.
Alternatively you can wait for the full version of the Manila editor to be released and hope it allows us to change font settings as well.

Thanks your help!
But the theme need 10MB-20MB rom to install, it's too much to affect the os speed. I may need to wait...
No, I don't mean the app specific themes, I mean deeper than that.
Essentially I have a theme which I used entirely (up until I reflashed MCR and realised I love default Sense style ) but now I want only to apply the lockscreen and the notifications blind.. How would I go about doing this?
Also, what images make up the dock of Sense? Just incase I decided to mess with colours (folders on the phone and name please).
Thanks.
The dock of sense is in the folder res/drawable-port in Rosie.apk

Those are the default Home, not Sense..
EDIT: they were in drawable-port-480x320
If I want to apply them with Metamorph do I need to include every image in the drawable-port-480x320 folder or just the edited ones?
Also, anyone able to answer my other Q's?
Just the edited ones.
Anyone able to drop the names of the Lockscreen pull bar and the Notifications blind images?

So it was quite easy to chance the LauncherPro widgets, just drop a few files into a folder and re-sign. Can this be done with other apps?
Generally everything's looking good, but the BeyondPod widget is so old looking, can I make the background look like that of the YouTube or Google Search widgets?
If I could make the Fancy Widget Weather background lighter, that would be cool too...
(I've used a lighter wallpaper than usual, so you can see what I mean )
Thanks.
**EDIT** Okay, so I simply dropped in the appwidget_bg.9.png and it's kinda worked -
How can I now control the size of the background of the widget?
The best way to theme the widgets (if there is no source for app, like for many/most market apps) is to use apktool to decompile the .apk, this will give you the .9.png files with the guide lines on them, then you can open the .png from the .apk you just decompiled (the best way to keep the widget the same boundaries as the original is just to recreate the image on a layer above the existing layer, with the guide lines and widget background, to be the same width and length as the stock widget background). You can either use apktool to recompile the .apk which will or create the .9.pngs for you, or you can compile them in eclipse.
Use this png instead of the other one on my thread. I need to update it. This will size nicely on your Music widget and also Fancy Widget.

Not quite what I was after, lol
Going to edit that one myself, see how I get on
**EDIT** Okay, so I've made the background a little smaller (and without the white background) but the buttons still stick to the very edges.

Click on the attached image first and then save it. Right clicking and saving results in a loss of transparency, hence a broken .9 patch.

In my signature go to the Nexus S link, bottom of the 2nd post.
Thanks. I followed the guide and I have the header and footers transparent (I edited your pngs so that it was 0% opaque so perfectly transparent since that's what I want) but the background for the calendar widget still has a grey shade... dunno which png to change to get it perfectly clear. Any suggestions?

How would one go about editing a Beautiful Widget theme?
In the picture below you can see that the "pm" and weather are white and I want to make them both cyan to match everything else. (Also, I realized upon seeing the shot blown up that the color of the weather/date text didn't match so I fixed that).

Get the clock skin and the weather skin from your sdcard from data/beautifulwidgets. Edit them in Photoshop or GIMP and put them back.

Thanks Sonny! I am going to try (emphasis on try) to make a complete skin for BW to go with your SubCyan theme with just a simple clock and weather both cyan but if I fail (which seems to be what I'm doing) I'll probably do just that.
Browsing through the 4pda.ru forum i found a nice optimus weather and clock for S2U2 posted by JambazZi and decided to use it on my device. Sadly, weather widgets were not numbered correctly and they were a bit too stretched with a distorted appearance, so i thought i'd make one of my own straight from the original optimus widgets and share it with you guys. After applying the files to gfx folder, set clock alignment to the left, choose option 1 time format and set today's weather forecast to Touch Flo 3D. Lang file provided in the folder contains the modification to DefaultTimeFormat1, needed for the clock to be aligned with the weather widget. I named the clock clockD but you can replace any clock you want or add it as a new clock as long as you modify the lang.ini file. Remember to save file in UNICODE when modifying the lang file and don't save it as text, but "all files" option. Thanks to 4pda.ru & xda-developers member Yurik , who provided me with the original optimus widgets. You can use any wallpaper you like, weather widgets' canvas is transparent. Here's a few screenshots, if you like my work, just hit the thanks button
P.S. Please backup your weather, lang.ini file and clock if you are replacing one of your previous clocks, in order to get back to your initial settings if something goes wrong. Safest way is to edit your personal lang.ini file to have this line, instead of using my lang.ini file, cause you might have different settings for slider, text, etc: s_DefaultTimeFormat1=______':'HH__':'mm
Thanks to torickray who modified the weather icons you can now use it with IPTweather too. Just download his weather files from here
Thanks to bismuth89 for providing (w)qvga version. Download qvga files from here and wqvga from here
S2U2 Optimus weather-clock
Could you develop a wqvga version?
thanx
im not sure where did i get wrong...

Did u set the time format to option 1 and choose clock font folder clockD ? Clock alignment must be set to left. Are you using Touch Flo 3D ? Did you update weather in Touch Flo ? Make sure you actually replaced the files and not just adding mine and leaving the originals there. Delete the original weather folder and the original clockD folder and then copy mine in the gfx folder. Also delete the lang settings and then copy mine. Make a backup of your files first, in case you want to get back to your settings.

Unfortunately i only own a Blackstone which is WVGA, but JambazZi from 4pda.ru has a wqvga version, you can use his and see if it works well on your device. Here are the files. The lang file is in russian, but you can modify your lang file, instead of using his. All you need to do is modify DefaultTimeFormat1 to the one in his file and add a new clock to option 6 called optimus, i think his clock is called optimus. Or just rename clock to one of the already existing clocks clock/, clockD, clockS, whatever. Hope that helps. His WVGA didn't work for me. If it was shiny outside, i got a windy widget. Maybe his wgvga version is numbered correctly. Try it and let me know, if icons are not numbered correctly you might need to rename them to suit the actual weather outside.
P.S. @ mad_a_22 : read your private message on the forum.
I'm using Userwether and I have weather icons moved to the left side - I see only half picture.Is it possible to change this?

Is your phone WVGA ? Post a screenshot please. You might need to resize the weather icons to fit the screen. The weather is designed to be used with Touch Flo 3D, guess it might work with other weather tools as long as it is scaled correctly. What weather program are you using ?
Yes, WVGA - OmniaII. I'm using IPTweather, mort scripts to modify registry. Maybe you have right, that modification of icons are needed.
I haven't used any third party weather application in S2U2. Send me a link to the icon pack you used before and a screenshot to see where exactly they were positioned, i might be able to edit the optimus icons to appear correctly for your IPTweather tool.

It's hard for me to guess the exact size of the icons used by other weather applications and where exactly they appear on your screen, since i only used HTC default weather i made the icons to fit to the weather provided by the TouchFlo. You should try and crop or enlarge the icons' canvas in order for the clock to appear in the white panels.

ahhh, it's beautiful! weather images look great on HD2, thank you, Sp1tfire! but there's one problem with time, digits are moved to the left more then they have to be. check it out on the screenshot. I've made everything in settings according to the first post. how can I fix this?

Time format should look like in the screenshot below and lang file must contain this line:
s_DefaultTimeFormat1=______':'HH__':'mm
Sp1tfire,
yes, that was the problem.. thank you. I've copied lang.ini to gfx folder together with clock and weather images.. such a shame..
but now something new appeared, see the screen, please. It's concerning lang.ini, as far as I understand, but I haven't backuped the old one to correct yours.

Hmm, i don't use the text in these 2 lines in my lang file.
s_CS2UText=
s_S2UText=
Mine it's blank. Probably original S2U2 text was "slide to unlock" for s_S2UText and "unlock" for s_CS2UText (without quotation marks)
typed "unlock", made some settings changes, now everything is on it's places , looks perfect! you ROCK! thanx!
Is it possible ?
I tried to do it by chossing a transparent png, but the default colour backgroung of the lockscreen is black.
I would want to see the image of the "main" background
Thx for your answers !
Not in stock rom for as far as I know. Try a lockscreen replacement. Maybe that will do.
Sent from my LT30p, 4.1.2 stock, DooMKernel v5,root access, unlocked bootloader.
Why don't you change the background in the lockscreen apk to that of your "main" background?
To ArmaNineTSeven : i don't want to use a third part apk
To Greg : i want a perfect placement between the backgrounds. there's always an offset with a manual placement.
I decompiled UxpNxtLockScreen.apk to see if....
I have found two parameters including background colour/black.
I have replace black by transparent and now it's the AOSP lockscreen

No, if you change the png in the apk to the one you want with the same dimensions it will work perfectly.
Also if you have aosp ;pclscrren it would suggest to me a problem with UxpNxtLockScreen.apk because if you unistall that you get aosp lockscreen. So it sounds like it is not working, otherwise you would have sony lockscreen with a transparent background.
We tried that back in the arc forum by replacing the default image with a transparent image of the same dimensions. It made no difference. I think someone also changed one the hexidecimal colour codes in the apk but also to no avail =/
