you can see that internet icon is grey too ( but not semi clear - i can't do that)
it's a zip file who contain manila files.
just unzip, stop TF3D, copy/past the files with TTCommander or resco explorer, and restart TF3D
i don't know if you make a cab, the internet icon be good, but if try and make a cab post it here and i include in this post
enjoy'
thanks to Uniqueboy fot cabs ;)

And I thank you very much for your kind work. :)
Edit
Coppied over the files and can report all is well, as previously stated a slight glitch with the internet tab, but on the whole a big improvement. Now for a complete system wide green disposal cab.

28th September 2008, 08:23 PM
I have made you a cab in return, hope it works. :)
Edit: soft reset required of course.
Later Edit: I have deleted the .cab here because it was of an older version and there is a .cab on the first post.

Well I haven't tried, but it does show up in my list of programs when I go to settings/system/remove programs, so I assume it will uninstall correctly, soft reset after of course and the original files should resurface. It lists as "lexxirae Black Selection". :)
OK tried uninstalling, no problem at all worked great.

Noticed under the E-mail tab that there's still an ugly green colored border around the small e-mail icon to the right (the icon where you choose account).
Just informing you :-)! Just like you I want to get rid of the green colors. Sadly enough I haven't got any USB cable by my side at the moment.
Clicking on the globe under the "Internet" tab makes the highlight become white (globe is totally hidden) on my device. Same for you?
Will try to tweak some with this tonight. Thanks for you work!

For those annoyed by the internet globe, you can use boinger66's no globe cab

Additionally, people have managed to change it to red here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2587148&postcount=9
So you could modify those files...

Personally i use your theme but with a slight twist..I have everything in the Home tab transparant..So when i select the clock i still dont see a selection..It does miracles if you love your wallpaper :D :D :D

HI !
Sorry for my bad english !
I have installed the black selection.cab !
After the Softreset it works fine with the Clock in TF3D but in the INET Tab comes a white screen and i cant see the earth !
Opera Broser starts and everythink works fine only the white screen is boring !
Someone with same problem ?

Hi
Great work!! really hated the green selection! Just wanted to clarify does the ultimate grey theme ONLY change the green selection or does it change other things as well?
As i already have another theme installed but had not been able to change the green selection.
Thanks :)

is there a manila mod to turn them grey, too?

the notification circle is not a green selected item. It's a picture green in default theme. With manila editor you can change for every what you want (36eabe92_manila)

The selected and highlight colour in the key bad (when you have to select what keyboard you want) is still green..
The selected and highlight colour in sounds settings, communication manager and the weather data, under the settings tab is green..
The progression bar in the music tab is green..
These are the things i have noticed.. has anybody made a grey replacement for the above ??.. Kindly provide a link in case anybody has..

Hi Lexx, member kradITA sent me a pm looking for the .cab I deleted from my post earlier in this thread so I hope you don't mind I've made a new one with the files from the .zip in your first post. It installed fine and works well on my device, any bad feedback and I will remove it or change it or something! :)
Edit, just noticed the green still exists on the internet globe background as suggested it may do if .cab made in the first post.
Edit2, Made a .cab with just the internet background grey in it, maybe will work if installed separately.

you can see that internet icon is grey too ( but not semi clear - i can't do that)
I did a write up for editing the the Internet Globe manila file without having to use the xml edit work-around. If you want to use a better graphic or a different highlight color than the stock colors that are floating around, give it a shot. It also supports transparency so you should be able to make it match your theme.
I haven't gotten any feedback yet so I'm curious if this is working for anyone else. Give a shout if you have any problems or success.
You can find the post HERE (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3099018#post3099018).
