[AddOns QVGA][THEME][WM 6.5.x] tacchan23Black w. Blue/Green/Red/Purple/etc selectors

tacchan23 · Dec 25, 2009

NEW VERSION HERE http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=624874

tacchan23Black
I wanted to use a theme with black background also on the newly (to Omnia2 at least^^) ported WM 6.5.3. (as the Samsung black theme is not working anymore on the new WM versions)
So I made a mix of many themes along with some custom made images to get a full black theme with item selectors in blue and some glossy effects.

Details v7:
- WM 6.5.x (but it should/may work also on wm 6.5 other than the bottom bar of course)
- (W)VGA and (W)QVGA
- black blackground
- 7 themes (.tsk) to choose different styles of softkeybar and taskbar (details in the screenshots below):
tacchan23Black 1: complitely black bars without any border with Manila style buttons
tacchan23Black 2: glossy black bars without any border with Manila style buttons
tacchan23Black 3: complitely black bars without any border with "squared taskbar" style buttons
tacchan23Black 4: glossy black bars without any border with "squared taskbar" style buttons
tacchan23Black Bordered1: bordered bars in black
tacchan23Black Bordered2: bordered bars with glossy effect
tacchan23Black Bordered3: same as the above but with different style of bottom bar

Details v7large:
as above but with taller listview selectors (same size as ClassicBlue theme) for extreme finger-firendlyness and also bigger popup menu selector (half way size between ClassicBlue theme and my standard version theme)

Details Add-Ons v7:
- Add-Ons to customize the colors of item selectors, checkboxes and pushed buttons
Colors available: White, WhiteGlossy, Red, RedGlossy, Green, GreenGlossy, BlueGlossy, Azure, AzureGlossy, Aquamarine, AquamarineGlossy, Purple, PurpleGlossy, LightGreen, LightGreenGlossy
- Add-On to restore the default bottom bar icons
- Also available a black skin for the default WinMo DialPad
- Download the Zip file containing all the addons and install the choosen customization cab (need to soft reset or change theme to apply changes)

Changelog:
-v7 and v7large:
Added two new styles of softkeybar buttons: tacchan23Black 3 and tacchan23Black 4
New colored pivot background image (also other colors trough AddOns)
Renamed existing softkeybar themes
Replaced the BordedBar buttons
-v6large:
taller listview selectors (same size as ClassicBlue theme) for extreme finger-firendlyness and also bigger popup menu selector (half way size between ClassicBlue theme and my standard version theme)
-v6:
Modified two of the existing softkeybar with Manila style buttons: "tacchan23Black" and "tacchan23Black Glossy"

Important:
I don't assume any responsability if you have any problems with it

I don't have a QVGA device to test the theme, so please post comments WITH screenshots if you like.

I like it.
qvga please.

capstation · Dec 26, 2009

Good themes bro. A pure black with soft glow. I like it!

jkrj524 · Dec 26, 2009

Thank you very much!

jkrj524 · Dec 26, 2009

tacchan23, I really love your work.

Just one request, if possible? Is it possible to make the taskbar all black? Because in the 2 themes you made, the upper right hand corner of the taskbar is not pure black. It's almost grayish in appearance.

If you could make one which is all black for both top and bottom bars, I would truly appreciate it a lot.

Thank you!

tacchan23 · Dec 26, 2009

Added two new versions.

Maybe later I'll change v1 to a pure black if I manage to get a black bottom bar too.
In the meantime you can replace the taskbar.png in My Documents\Themes\tacchan23black with the one attached here (and soft reset).

Thanks a lot! I've done it and it works great.

But I'd appreciate a full "all black/pure black taskbar and bottom bar" version cab later when you have the time.

Thanks again for sharing your great work.

Hi tacchan23, would it be possible to make this with the item selector green (standard windows default green), instead of blue? I'd appreciate it a lot.

Thank you.

I'm using the v3 you posted. Everything seems to be working well. What problems are you worried about?

Again, thanks for sharing!

i have some small bugs would be great if fix possible

-in skyfire address bar all is black so its not seen what is typed
-notifications shown black background (screenshot 1)
-some items unseen unless selected(screenshot 2&3)

and bug i have not sure its because of theme but i suspect it

:
even after uninstalling black theme and setting back to original some places are gray instead of white, example notification in screenshot 1 after reverting to default white theme the black square becomes gray instead to white.

screen2&3: which application is that exactly?
screen1: the notifications look like this (screenshot) to me
skyfire: for me the address bar background is in black and the typed text is white (you have the newest skyfire version?)

You using WM 6.5, not 6.5.x right? maybe some of the problems may come from that... if anyone else is facing similar problems (with 6.5 I think) let me know please.

in screen 2,3 its resco 2010 b2 registry editor>export reg file.

i think notification is graphic file maybe you know which one so i can skin it?

i use 6.5 build 21884 and newest skyfire i think its cause you got samsung (if i understood correct) and samsungs apps (like notification manager) maybe work better with some things...

now when i'm setting back to white some places becomes gray what i need to change for this to become white?

I'll try resco registry later.

About skyfire and the notifications it's strange... maybe it depends on 6.5 vs 6.5.x. When I try to go back to a "white background" theme it's working correctly and there is no gray areas.
And sadly I really have no idea how to solve it

At least I'd like to know if anyone else is facing the same problem (with 6.5 or 6.5.x) on non Samsung devices.

Btw, v4 released with some new bars to choose.
