[THE] [17/09/08] "Black & xColor" by Elvelynn

It's done ...
With the help of gordic, wrather, Seelenfresser, BenThon and all the other thread-readers I made an update of my "Black & Red" and after that I was able to convert it completey to "Black & Blue"
"Black & xColor V2.1"
Until now there's only a Basic-Edition of each color version. The original HTC Black Theme has to be installed on your diamond before you are installing one of my themes.
(Didn't try other themes as base but I think it would look a little bit funny *g*)
So far I tested the theme with Mossis ROM 2.1 (Base-ROM: 1.93.x).
Files:
Basic_Black_xxx_V2_x.zip
All files are in one folder inside the zip-file, so they can be copied to the windows-directory off the reel.
Basic_Black_xxx_V2_x_separated.zip
All files are in separated folders inside the zip-file, so you can choose which files you copy to the windows-dir.
Instruction:
Unpack the *.zip-file you want and read the installation.txt.
(If something is wrong or you need some help please let me know!)
Changelog:
V2_1 [17.09.2008]
- two new color-changed images of the camera
- newer *.tsk-files
I'm not so happy with the calendar-icon, but until now I didn't get a better version of it. Maybe someone else could help to make it more similar to the other icons?

#1
(reserved for further update etc.)

the file is too big ?
try with rapidshare.com
[good work!]

[thanks!]
That's strange because the file isn't bigger than 8MB (that should be the maximum file size of zip-files).
But now I've uploaded it with rapidshare

Very nice work!
Will download....

Does this also change the today screen and other non TouchFlo elements like buttons, captions etc. (globally of course)?

I think it does because I changed also many graphics that have nothing to do with TF3D, for example the Screen if you connect your diamond with USB etc.
And there is also the vodafone.tsk, which makes the "menu marker" red for example.
@NisseDILLIGAF
Thank you!

nice job thanx

Thanks for the theme.
You were faster than me in changing everything green into red. One thing I could not find in your basic zip file was a red highlighted internet globe.
Thanks to the help of NisseDILLIGAF who pointed me in the right direction I was able to change it. Now the theme is perfect!

Win refuses to overwrite the manila-files. Could somebody make from this a real theme-file. The red is amazing color with black.

Theme File
just installed, the red & black looks so cool!
GREAT WORK...thank you

really fine themes, one of the best i tried today
but a few questions:
i made a roll back to my standard theme (with TF3D config 0.6.7) but now i have some graphic problems, e.g. TF-volume is still red instead of original green, also the buttons for choosing between ActiveSync- and external drive-mode if connected to PC. And the (green) button beside the active keyboard, if i want to change half to full or phone etc., is fully lost
Are there any options to get the old status back without a hardreset?
thank you for your answer

ok, ive tried this, but im not satisfied, altough i would love to have a black red theme.
What would make this theme perfect for me is, that it should be exactly as the original touchflo, htc black theme, only where default theme has green colour, it should have red colour, that would be perfect theme for me.
also, i restored default theme, and still i have in volume control red coloured bars, which i can't restore to defaults, which is not ok.
i tried to delete manila files with resco explorer, but says i cant delete files, because they are in the memory. Any suggestion how to do this ?
thank you

Ok, solved it by myself. There is a little bug in TF3D Config-Tool, which forgot to delete three files after choosing a Theme-Restore:
- HTCUSBtoPCPopUp.png
- SIPMenu_SelectIcon.bmp
- HTCVolumeControl.png
After deleting these file and automatic replacement of the original TF-Files by WM (soft-reset!) everything looks ok again

THANKS ! i am happy again
dunno where i saw it, but is there a possibility, to change background on all menus ?

Great theme! Love balck&red
Only issue I have is cannot see the writings in the manilla settings/sound properties, it's only me? something wrong?
Thanks

Black font on black background, got this Prob, too.
If you highlight it with the red "Cursor" you can read it...

Choosing new programs has this small prob also

[THE][2008 Sep 19]Vista Theme for Diamond with new comm manager tab

I made a new vista theme for TF3D. Download over the link in my signature. Inside is the new comm manager tab and the german calendar from d-man. If you want to have the calendar in your language, please download the calendar locales file in your language, please rename the title in Calendar, like he disribed it here. Don´t copy the other calendar files (they are all inside) or change the order of numbers. Disable TF3D, copy all files with Total Commander to windows and restart. Hope, you will enjoy it. Two times during the copying comes an error. Don´t worry, all needed files will be copied allright.
Here - under the pics - is the file, for to set the words "Verbindungen" to "Comm Manager" and "Kalender" to "Calendar". Copy it in the downloaded folder with the manila files or directly to your windows on the diamond, replace the original file. Keep this file for later themes on your pc.

Very cool!

i see screens and it looks great!

No Nisse, i don´t have fixed it. I think, it´s the same as in the settings tab, so it has the same font color.
But with your help i changed a little the design od the background. Thx for the compliments.

I made a few changes in my theme (some more things in blue, frames, background). When you click on the link in the first post, you can download them.

Sorry ... i posted fi´ve minutes to early... the new desktop variation was not inside. Now the changes are [for today ] complete. Please download the changes again...you can see the changes also on the screenshots in the link.

best theme EVER! However... landscape version for Touch Pro doesn't work=p
Could you fix it please?
Thank you so much!

Thank you very much
Sorry, i fear, that i can´t help you with the landscape version. I have only the diamond. What´s wrong, when you use it? Maybe, i find an answer or somene other here.

New changes
I am learning...so i must post every day new changes to the theme, don´t worry:
Today i am ready with the windows-tsk-file (Black & Blue), i integrated the diamond today picture and a better looking volume control. You can download the file in the upper entry.
Much fun.

Edit: Only new represantation (post 1)

Here - and also in the 1st post - is the file, for to set the words "Verbindungen" to "Comm Manager" and "Kalender" to "Calendar". Copy it in the downloaded folder with the manila files or directly to your windows on the diamond, replace the original file. Keep this file for later themes on your pc.

Hi Neo XL, I have just been trying your theme, it looks great, Thanks. However I am having some trouble adding custom cities to the weather database now, not a big deal. I Have removed the bricks and the bottom curtain and put in a custom home screen wallpaper with the analog clock from the french orange rom. The no bricks looks a lot better I feel they clutter up the screen a lot. I also think the theme would look better with a transparent slider like the one made by pamas which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430287. Just one more point, how about second level icons as well for example in the settings panel or the photos page? An example of second level icon implementation by stevedpl is seen here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427503 it's a nice finishing touch. Again thank very much for the theme it is obvious a lot of work went into it.
I also made myself a single cab file to install it all using quick cab which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400221, with the correct english corrections in it, that way it is easier should I choose to remove it!

Thanks for the feedback.
I don´t have the weather problem...don´t know, if there are more users, who have the same.
You can further shape the theme by your taste...i like your screenshot. The 2nd level icons i didn´t style in my 1st theme, but in the later themes (Pirates, LOTR and - tomorrow - Spiderman).
It´s is a suggestion, even to do something like you want.
You can post your results here for other users, so all can benefit of them.

Hi Neo XL, the transparent slider is the big one for me, I just love pamas's slider.
Definitely sticking with your theme for now, Thanks a lot for your work, a great share.

No idea why, no reset but just powered on my phone and the butt ugly original slider has resurfaced, I will re-install the manilla files to dispense with it, just not sure why it should suddenly reappear, the theme, with my own customisations has been solid all day. Man I hate that ugly slider!

do you have this i a cab file and have you it in dutch ?? look nice thx

You must deactivate TF3d, then copy the slider files to windows, activate TF3D, and it should go. I tried another slider today...no problems.

No, i don´t have dutch files, but it´s easy to edit the manila from the 1st post. Open it with the editor and search for this lines:
<Page Order="10" Name="calendar.page" PackageName="HTC" Title="Calendar"> and
<Page Order="11" Name="communications.page" PackageName="HTC" Title="Comm Manager"
Replace the Titles "Calendar" and "Comm Manager" with the words of your own language and save the file. Copy this file to your windows on the diamond and reset it.
I don´t wanna make a cab, because for editing and updating this is an easier way.

What slider did you try, I have yours back at the moment and very nice it is too, with a pure black theme, but when you start to add wallpapers you can't beat a transparent one.

I tried the slider from my spiderman theme.

TF3D Colour Scheme: Blue

Hi everyone,
This is my first ever cab so I thought I'd share it with you all.
I love the TF3D interface but my Rhodium came shipped with a black theme with green highlights. Green has never been one of my favourite colours so I decided to change it to blue.
I dug through all the manilla files & windows images and replaced every green image I could find with a blue one.
I'm not too sure how if this will work on other devices... I would assume the manila files won't be a problem on any device running TF3D but I'm not too sure about windows image files... Please use at your own discretion
Feel free to let me know if I missed any
My thanks to chainfire for CFC GUI - this application made my life so much easier
Please Note:
The images for the green colour scheme are contained in both Manila and the Windows directory images.
If you install the manila cab only, you'll notice many elements are still green, like the On/Off selector on the Communications Tab and the highlights in the dialer.
I'm not too sure why it was developed this way, but I have decided to split my cab up for those of you who don't wish to overwrite your Windows files.
I've also included a cab for the stock windows files in case you want to revert to the stock theme. You can revert the manila files by simply uninstalling that cab.
Enjoy

mmm, nice, I'm install it, but tab slider is in top of the active icon.
in Opera doesn't work, as is as, explorer, task bar, an all windows scheme, but is nice... good job!

This theme just replaces image files. The highlights in explorer etc can be changed by using Max TTM as these are not images but a system setting
I would include this is the theme but I don't how how...

Some of the changes remain after uninstall because some are images from the Windows directory and not in manilla files... I had a similar problem when installing another colour scheme theme from the forum. I will upload a cab tonight with the default files which should take you back to the green scheme.
I'm not too sure what you guys mean when you say "tab slider is in top of the active icon"... perhaps it's an issue with your existing custom theme. I installed this on my stock manilla theme and all works fine. Can you post a screenshot of this?
All I've done is open up the image files and changed the colours. There's no other configurations in my cab, just existing file replacements

I've uploaded the stock Windows files - check post #1
I also split up the theme cab into two parts, Manila files & Windows files so you can choose not to replace your Windows files if you don't wish to

Tried this on my VZW Rhodium over my stock theme. Now my phone dialer won't work, I have giant green circles around every selected tab, and the radio button dots now have small "phone" images inside them. Phone is utterly useless, and will require a hard reset, since your cabs cannot be uninstalled, and I can't install the windows stock cab.
Epic fail, man.

You have a branded Rhodium so naturally this will be a problem.
A lot of other people, including myself, have installed this with no problems at all.
Please do some reading on what you can and cannot do on YOUR handset before flaming other member's contributions.

Thanks i love it. hope its work at my Omnia 2
Its installed sucessful at my device without error.
but i dont know how to change color scheme

Hi idrak3,
This theme/colour scheme is only available for Manila. Are you running a custom ROM on your Omnia with Touch Flo? If not, I'm afraid this won't work for you

Diamond 2 and skins

Hi everyone
Can anyone tell me if it is posibble to change the skins on the diamond2 (the newest model).
What kind of program will i need?
i have downloaded the program from this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427392
and want to use the skins in this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425974
Can i do this om my diamond 2?
If not can someone please tell this newbey how i can change my skins on the htc diamond 2
Thank you so much

hi,
no you can't because the skins you pointed out are for TF2D (manila2D) only.
Nevertheless it's possible to change the skin : choose TF3D2.1 skins for your Diam2
The best is to install themes cabs : copy the cab to your ppc then click on it with your explorer (total commander by example) to install it and soft reset (reboot)

Well thank you very much for your reply!
I typt tf3d2.1 in the search field here on the site but i did not find any files.
Can you point me in the right direction? where can i find that kind of themes?
Thank you again

hi,
First of all your Diam2 (topaz) is WVGA (480x800px screen) so you have to verify in thread title if the theme is really made for WVGA screens.
Second, your UI is called TF3D2.1 (or manila 2.1) here on XDA : that means you can install full themes made for TF3D2.1 or icons only (from bottom bar) made for TF3D (the first diamond or Blackstone). The best is to try different themes because there is no general rules : some icons sets will work but others won't
The last version TF3D2.5 from LEO device (manila2.5) won't work with your Diam2 stock rom.
there are different ways to get skins for your Diam2 :
- into the dedicated Topaz section : HERE (this one was made especially for your Diam2 so all the stuffs you'll find into this section will work on your Diam2)
- Into general dev&hack section you have the windows themes : HERE
(this is general section so all the themes in this section won't work : verify WVGA TF3D2.1)
- the most important skins databases for TF3D are for Diamond1 (HERE) & HD-Blackstone section (HERE) (because they are older than your D2)
By example, these ones should work on your Diam2 :
- Snoopy
(choose WVGA, don't install VGA or manila2.5 cabs)
- Dusk for manila2.1
- Coquette
- Vector
- my TF3D icons HERE
BTW skins & themes are mentioned by [SKN] or [THE] for a better readability in thread title
One last thing : never install a theme cab on a previous one, always remove old theme cab before installing a new one ^^

Hi thank you again for your reply you made me a happy woman haha
Tonight (its 10 a.m. here) i gonna to install your black icons on my diamond 2
You made what was gibberish for me a normal language thank you so much

I really liked your black vi.7 icons. I downloaded the file and i am gonna install it tonight!
I let you know if it worked! and i am gonna add a thanks on your thread ofcourse

Can i also instal the v2.2 icons? i liked those evenmore

Yes, all my SenseLIKE TF3D icons work with TF3D1/TF3D2.1

well i got something strange it does not fully work on my diamond
How i installed it..
i installed the cab on my memory card. then i installed the program and turned my telephone off and on.. and i tryed to soft reset it.
Is this the right way to install it?
The problem is that the first icon stays in color and the pictures of the icons do not fully fit in the icons. you can not see the full icon.

Do you have the new TF3D2.1 Sense (weather clock) ?

uhmm i have windows 6.5 with the newest rom update from the htc website. the rom update that change the colors the icons. And i do have the weather clock.

oh and maybe good to know.. i have diamond tweak installed on my phone

cant see to get the m mobiler working 2 :s

got the mobiler working but the front is not fully showing.. i hope you got the idea..
you can see the top of the icons
i attatched a print screen

it seems like the icons are to big for the slide bar

hi,
thanks for the screenshot : I can see your issue now ^^

thanks again! gonna try it tonight..
Hope it works!
Ill let you know

yes i worked
Looks so nice!!!
Thank you so much!
Now im gonna try to figure out if i can change that green color that you see in the phone. that little green ball wich tell you how much emails you got and in the organizer.. really dont like the green color..
Well anyway you helped me solve my problem with the colored icons!!
Many many thanks

if you know the answer to my question can you tell me how :$
All most afraid to ask haha you helpt me already so much..

hi,
Well, for Email bubble notification, the most important collection to my knowledge is the one made by CMYLXGO at PPCGeeks : HERE
To change green highlights to blue you can take a look at DJCedric or Henk2484 BlueHighlights

1. Open it up on your PC, and run HDWALLS.EXE.
2. Click on slider on the side task bar. Right there are the original icon for the slide. select then create cab.
3 Now under options check the box to include slider bar
done... convert and create cab, and install. if you get confused, just followed hdwalls instructions. im sure there are people with links to cabs the way you may want it setup. my hd2 is pimped out thanks to HDWALLS. make sure to install hq patch.

I think what you're looking for there is the background itself, not the slider itself or the curtain behind it.
I believe the image below is the one you're looking for. I went ahead and cabbed it up in HDWalls using some settings that should work on the new stock tmo ROM. If you use this cab to make that image your background (it'll apply it to all tab backgrounds), you'll also need to install the HQ patch I've attached as well.
Let us know if this worked for what you needed

Ahh yes sorry, I didn't catch that you wanted that image on all tabs other than your home tab, with a separate image instead for that. I'm honestly not familiar with any of the wallpaper choosers that might be out there. However, you might want to take a look at BG4A (BG4All tabs)...I seem to recall that it will put backgrounds on the tabs but still let you pick a separate one for your homescreen, but I haven't used it in a long time and could be mistaken

i hae the same problem and its the biggest reason i hat the newest rom upgrade

Well you guys should all be running CHT on your devices anyways..that has an option to set an image for your tabs...in bothe 1.8.5 and 2.0...just download CHT and it will take care of that completely!

After updating my original German T-Mobile ROM from 1.72.111.4 to 3.14.111.1 (04666) GER with Manila 2.5.20181527.1, I get the same solid black background on all Sense tabs. This thread was the only search result that describes the problem.
HDWall v0.29b was not my first solution. Because I only want back my gray backgrounds.
Therefore, I installed the HQWallpaperPatch v1.30.
This was a successful attempt. All my gray backgrounds were there again. But now it was not possible to me to change the wallpaper of the home tab any more.
And the newly transparent look of the notification bar and soft bar is very ugly while working with normal applications.
Then, nevertheless after uninstalling the HQWallpaperPatch, I have tried out HDWall. But the resulting CABs were not compatible with my ROM. The wallpapers have not changed and the Sense UI became unstable. Only a hard reset/cold boot could solve the problems with Sense.
CHT is the acronym from "Co0kie's Home Tab". I do not need all that features. Hence, I have investigated to BG4all (Background for all tabs).
BG4all only replaces two files in the \Windows folder. 090a4ee8_manila includes a compressed script. I am not sure, why 3a8e04af_manila also must be replaced.
But there are many versions of this patch in the wild. I used m9editor to compare all shipped files with my original ones.
And I found a compatible version. This BG4all_Manila2.5.cab works without problems along with my ROM version.
