Add more colors to homescreen settings

---

is it possible to add more colors to the homescreen other than standard and guava bubbles?

I've been wanting to know this too

It is... by editing the XML file, or installing a homescreen with a different color scheme. There are several links out there with instructions, here's one to start (scroll down a little, the color scheme section is there)

BlackBarsScheme

---

This is a Color Scheme with registry entries to enable true black bars (softkey and icon bars). Just select your homescreen and select Color Scheme: Black Bars. It works with all the standard homescreens on my dash. Experiment and see what works.

If you try to specify your softkeys menu bar in a homescreen as black wm5 will give you grey. In order to get "true" black you must create registry settings. It has been said (though I don't know if it's true) that Homescreens that set the registry will create seperate entries for every homescreen with black bars you install (true enough), but if you uninstall those homescreens the registry entrys will stay(?) until you factory reset your phone. So if you install 20 homescreens with black bars you end up with 20 different registry entries for the same effect even if you uninstall 19 of them. The BlackBarsScheme will only create one set of entries and can be used with any homescreen you want to use.
