Does anyone have the stock image?
I can't find it.
The grey one with the HTC Logo in the bottom right corner
I checked in Windows folder and only found a plain grey with no logo
Looks like the stock background has a gradient to it
Can someone post the image up here if they have it?
Thanks

I'm using HTC Home Customizer/HTC home plugin. I want just a pure black background on my today screen. I tried selecting a pure black jpg using the today screen setting "Use this picture as the background." The background ended up just being light gray. Anyone know how to do this? I think I'm just being dumb.

Here is a completely black theme for u.
EDIT: Instruction - copy the unzipped theme into your windows directory, then go to settings/personal/today and the black theme should be there as a option. Select it and click ok.

you are welcome
on a related note, I've been trying to make a black theme with the attached pic for a b/g, but using a theme creator and making the top and bottom bars black, also causing it to be a light grey.
I would use your theme, Mikulec, but i believe you would have white writing?
I've attached my theme as well.
Any chance of helping a newbie? Thanks!
edit: Checked yours, Mikulec, and you do have white writing that won't show up on mine, plus the bottom bar is still light grey? Or did I do something wrong?

I am using program called ThemeGenCE. There u can do almost everything. The problem was that this program is making the bottom and uper bars in another caller(when u set the bars black, the color is in reality black-grey). I used another program to make the bars completely black.
I dont know how can I help you, cause I dont know how u want the theme to look like. The problem is that your pic is white and black so u cant use black or white text.
I will gladly help if u need me. U can try the ThemeGenCE.

Black.zip didn't work
I just followed your instructions to create an all black background, but it didn't work. It only made the task and soft-key bars black.
I just want a simple black background.
Please advise.
Thanks.

No offense, but yes, you're being dumb.
Goto the "pictures and videos" application. select the photo you want, Menu > Set as Today Background, and set Transparency to 0%.

What ???????
If you read the post , it was not how do I set the background, it was please give me a black background that does not wash out to grey when set.
Which Mikulec did, 6 months ago.

Re-Read the original post. He says he's trying to set the today screen's picture and it's being greyed out when he sets it in the today (under settings) screen. In order to get a non-greyed out photo on your today screen, do what I wrote above. Also, learn to read sarcasm.
Black.zip solution response please
Could someone with a solution respond to my question about the use of the black.zip download to create an solid-black background in all windows (I recently installed hergs flip clock and landscape mode)?
I followed Mikulec's instructions and installed the black file, saw it listed in the Today screen, selected it, had auto reset, but the Today background didn't go to black.
Thanks.
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"
http://smart-pda.net/isourou/pockethand/
I searched and even tried compiling it myself using apktool but keep getting boot loops. Basically what I'm trying to do is "very simple", change the popup menu text from white to a dark gray. The reason is, because of the theme I am using (black menu with white text), it doesn't appear correct for a bunch of third party apps. The third party apps uses the white text from the theme, but it doesnt use the same black menu images (they are still default white/light grey).
Attached are screen shots. Can someone take my framework-res.apk and recompile correctly for me? I just need the menu text to change to a gray color so it contrasts with both the black menus and light gray menus.
It would also be helpful if you can show me the exact steps. For some reason eveytime I compile I bootloop, I followed different guides but no help. Thank you.
Try it.
Im having same problem... can u explain what u hv changed in framework-res.apk ... pls need an emergency help..

I know there's a purple one out there, too.
Orange bg/Black or white text would be cool.

I'm not to bothered about the counter color. The thing that I would like to mod is the orange high light when you hit the SMS unread icon. Has anyone changed this so there is no color at all when you select it

[request]No bubble, just the digit, please.
I would like to see this widget with only the digit visible, no bubble, no outer ring or glass effect.
I have posted on the "Transparent widget skins" thread -->here but I think quite heavy coding is required. Only managed to remove the glass effect of the bubble.
There is a work around for this using Minimalistic text and Tasker, so it is not a problem for me, but would be nice to see a free and easier alternative.
Also, it will require some digging in the "Post your screen shot" threads but the black bubble mod is there somewhere.
Here's a gold one and orange one, although they are very similar.
Okay, I've figured out how to mod the bubble color, but I can't figure out the text color.
Here's pink with white text and black with white text.
Transparent might be tough, because the bubble is RGB and not ARGB, so there is no alpha value control transparency.
I'll keep trying for for text color and transparency.
Awesome guys, thank you!

Install them like any regular app. If you already have SMS Unread Count on your phone, it should just update with the new color.
Thanks, exactly what I was looking for!

The folder you need is a subfolder of the data folder on the SD card. You should put them in "sdcard/data/com.kanokgems.smswidget/".
If it doesn't exist, create it.
ty very much. didnt even notice the folder was there
