[THE][WM6.5][All Res][AllBugsFixed] PureBlack2 by m.carroll

[m.carroll]

A really simple monochromatic skin for Windows Mobile (Phone) 6.5, cab's fully uninstallable. Works with VGA/WVGA and QVGA/WQVGA, just download the correct resolution (without the W). Enjoy.

While I do realize that both versions could be installed from one Cab, I've chosen not to do this to avoid cluttering devices (especially those with small internal storage) with unnecessary files which are not fit for their resolution. My theme releases will be 2 separate cabs (maybe 3 if I ever figure out this square thing...).

Changelog:
May 7, 2009 - Fixed bubble/toast bug in (W)QVGA version and updated installers hardcoded to device (just to bypass nag in installation).
April 19, 2009 - Initial Release

glad to contribute guys. it was more of a learning experiment for 6.5 themes for me. i've got a pretty good handle on how it works now, and am working on an idea for an original theme. if you've got any questions on how theming works on 6.5, head over to the WM6.5 Themes and Development Thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=501506

Does anybody else have the 'rainbow effect' towards the top of the screen? Does it show some blue, green and red as the color tries to transition... or maybe my backlight is up to high?

Anywho, great theme m.carroll!

 

[chronodrago]

could that possibly a battery that u have installed? cause i know that those sometimes use a rainbow effect

 

[RR33]

yeah !
Black is better coz I'm fed up with win blue

ps: is a glossy version possible ?

 

[obsydian]

Excellent, I tend to always stick with a nice clean black theme, more gloss would be nice

Too bad nobody remembers 'bout square screens (320x320) of Treo and i780

 

[m.carroll]

Square QVGA should work just fine seeing as 320x320 on the TreoPro and the i780 are still both 192 DPI, save for the background. I could resize the background and cab up a square one for you if you'd like, but try the QVGA one first and let me know if it works.

EDIT: What's the DPI for the Square 320x320 devices? I'd love to get you a theme if you can get me the resources from a working Classic Blue theme...

EDIT2: Thanks to bnm7bnm, I've found an issue with the QVGA cab, in that if you click on the signal strength indicator, battery icon, any of the top icons looking for a status pop-up window, it shows the old-style notifications, instead of WM6.5-skinned style. Working on a fix and will update when available.

Speaking of bugs, anyone (AdamNimrod) having the rainbow effect: can you try and take a screenshot with a program like CapSure or something similar and see if the rainbow effect still shows up. I don't really know what your talking about, but the screenshot would help, and also identify if its an actual rendering issue or an optical illusion.

PS: I'm working on a Glossy Black theme roughly using a glossing effect similar to Windows 7, but trying to keep it classy and not look like it's "trying too hard". Its coming down the pipe, but I just got out of finals at the University of Florida, and start an internship soon, so it'll be here when it gets here.

For WM6.5 square screeners there is only 96dpi
The attachment contains the slightly modified theme - I've added the 320x320 wallpaper.
Can't wait for the square version
