Default Change Touch Cube default BLUE theme to RED!

Here's a quick cab file I made to change the default Blue theme on touch cube to RED, I will post cab files for green, yellow theme etc..

Just install then do a SR for the change to take effect, if you don't like it un-install SR to go back to Blue

*Please Note: this is only been tested on Touch Dual aka Niki on Orange UK ROM and HTCAsia WEE ROM may not work on other ROM or devices.

Hi gfreek, I have tried on my touch dual (as named in HK), not so smooth using with the cube, and sometimes display hidden file names. Removed it at last. But thanks anyway.

in my HK Traditional Chinese version of Touch Dual, all Red*.brn and Red*.png required by the cube are already available in ROM. this means changing to Red color scheme is as easy as modifying the ColorSkin reg key value from "Blue" to "Red". I also noticed availability of some Green*.brn but seems the set is incomplete.

maybe some brothers from other locations can check whether they have \Windows\Red*.brn (e.g. RedA0.brn) on their devices.

simply edit this registry key:

[HKLM\Software\HTC\ColorSkin]
"Color" = "Red"
(original value is "Blue")

after all, i found that there are more files named Blue*.brn/png than Red*.brn/png. there is possibility that certain built-in HTC application may have "missing skin" problem after changing to "Red" color scheme. yet, at least on my device all *.brn needed by the cube are there.

you can read this thread for more info about these image files

Spot on pp18! if all the Red*.brn files are not present in the Windows directory it will NOT work so it is ROM dependent however, I have tested this hack on both Orange UK ROM and now my present HTCAsia WEE ROM it works on both!

HTCzar what ROM is your touch dual?

yours is a HK version? do you have the CSL 4-sided cube or the standard 3-sided one? the trick gfreek made should not work on CSL 4-sided one, as there are red-scheme images for only 3 sides in the ROM.
