ualvoyager: your previous post made me think about putting in the dialog. It'll be quite easy, but I've got no time today. Can I ask you to PM me in a few days to remind me to implement it? I'll try to do it anyway, but my brain isn't work so gud.

You can colour many elements of the theme, but basehue only effects some elements. I highly recommend you read the wiki on basehue etc, ZeBoxx has put in loads if info on colouring the other elements. However, I suggest you try an app called cetuner, that lets you colour and play with many elements right on your pda... basehue is specific to wm5, but the other elements are configured more manually.

Thanks, it's here

Don't worry for missing this part.

I think you can use one image only if you use a simple image (for example monochromatic or without designs)

Because if you an image with logo or other design, you should consider image could be good visible in Lanscape and not in Portrait mode

:wink:
[General Topics] ZeBoxx:
The "stwater.gif" is only used for the start menu. As far as I'm aware, there's no way to specify one image for Portrait and a different image for Landscape mode. If there is, I'd love to hear about it :)

So if you have an image with a logo / whatever, you need to make sure it fits in the overlapping region of Portrait and Landscape modes.

Edit: pft - I never searched, I guess %)

Do you like this ?

I have another question, it's possible to modify the grey selected item bar ?

This:

Thanks in advance :wink:
[General Topics] ZeBoxx:
pretty :)

And yes, you can. The color of the selected item background is defined by key '34' in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Color\

Since yours is grey, I suspect that you already have that key value, if not - just create a new one, BINARY value. Then set the value to an RGB grouping like....

FF 00 00 00 = red

00 FF 00 00 = green

00 00 FF 00 = blue

FF 88 00 00 = orange

etc.

Any help would be awesome.

Cheers,

[General Topics] ZeBoxx:
If you just want everything to be grey, then delete all the numeric values in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Color\

e.g.

delete:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Color\4

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Color\8

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Color\11

etc. all of 'm

and then change the BaseHue value to a decimal value between 0 and 255.

If you check out the interactive picker here...

http://www.vijay555.com/vj/Releases/VJBaseHue/Colors/colors.html

...you'll see there's a bunch of values in that range that give you a light/dark grey user interface all over (but only if they aren't overridden by the numeric values / theme-specific values).

-----

Otherwise, yes, looks for the hexadecimal color codes in Photoshop, or one of those webmaster help sites (as websites typically use hex color codes as well)

I have another question for you, I'm sorry to disturb you :oops:

I would like to add this color in my theme, is it possible ?

I ask you because I didn't find the same color in your interactive color chart.

Thank you :wink:
[General Topics] ZeBoxx:
Certainly - You can use that color value ( AD 00 04 00 ) for any of the binary color values. You can't use it for the BaseHue value, obviously :)

I'm working on a page that allows you to make a full theme, and it features a colorpicker as well - in case it's useful.

http://www.pointzero.nl/ppc/colorpicker.html

( that version of the page is obviously unfinished - it's not even anywhere near the current state of that page, but I'd rather get it 'finished' before updating )
[General Topics] Diggia:

Thanks for helping me ! :wink:
[General Topics] ZeBoxx:
haha.. yeah, I had that happen a few times as well.. It would normally be used to set transparency on an element - and there was even one value which had it set to non-00, but I sure didn't see any transparency with it. I haven't tried with all values, though.. so who knows, maybe some of them support transparency. Something to check out some other time :)
[General Topics] Diggia:
If you will be able to obtain transparency I make a statue for you !!! :D

I'm making a little tutorial to build theme in my italian forum (Vijay knows this forum) and I would like to add a link to your new page with colorpicker.

If you want finish the page before i link in the forum just say me

Otherwise, if for you is not a problem, i link to your page with a special thanks to you and Vijay :)
[General Topics] ZeBoxx:
Yeah, please link to the BaseHue-only page at vijay's site instead (assuming vijay won't mind the extra traffic). I'd really prefer to finish my page before committing to any of it :)

As for transparency, tried a couple, no luck whatsoever. Would need to systematically check them all to make sure.

Mind you, many of them are also just 4 bytes because the value is started as a 32bit float - that's why they're almost all ending in '00', even if it isn't actively used :)
[General Topics] vijay555:
ZeBoxx/Diggia: of course not. the A1 boys already know that we're all excited about ZeBoxx's new page. And of course, if it needs hosting when it's done, I'll do it.

ZeBoxx, may I ask if I can borrow your colour bar (the hue bar)? I want to try something when I get a chance...

V
[General Topics] ZeBoxx:
Sure - I'm not about to tell you "no" and have you sit through taking 500+ screenshots yourself ;)

If this is for making an UI to VjBaseHue, may I suggest a vertical layout, though? Such as attached. If not.. well, there's suggestion all the same ;)

Edit: ahaha... "Screnshot". D'oh. Well I can't be buggered to fix that typo :P
[General Topics] vijay555:
Lovely - "this is not a drill"... great idea. Let me see what I can do.

I don't really do GUIs :(

V
[General Topics] ZeBoxx:
I noticed - I kinda like that, means you can have other applications (or as simple as a shortcut) access your apps easily :)

On the other hand - some things just shout for an UI - or, if you will, for -having- such a 'other application' that will access your app :)

I guess if you build it into VjBaseHue that's fine, otherwise you could make it a separate app that calls VjBaseHue. Not very efficient - waste of space, have to make sure VjBaseHue is around to be run, and all that, but hey ;)

What were you looking at the gradient for, though? Just curious :)

P.S. Vertical layout is because horizontal layout would mean you'd -have- to switch to Landscape mode to see them completely ;) I suppose you could switch based on the display mode. I'll shut up now before I drive you mad with ideas :)

P.P.S. (yes, ignoring the bit that I'm shutting up) - these are indeed just ideas, not demands - and not even requests from my side. VjBaseHue 'as is' with my shortcuts for the major colors is good enough for me.
[General Topics] vijay555:
All agreed. Vertical makes more sense, but horizontal would have been sexier. Very grateful for the suggestion.

I tend to like very minimal GUIs for my own PC stuff:

I made the mother of all non-GUI browsers for the PC :)

I'm not sure how well I can do GUIs on the PDA. Maybe this weekend though. I've got about 3 things to release in the next couple of days, not including bug fixes etc :(

Base Hue

Hi everyone. This is my first post but i've been reading for a while.

Thanks for all the hard work and info, its been really helpful!

I am busy developing a commercial app for my company to allow us to quickly create themes for companies that buy a large number of i-mates from us, as well as for consumers to download. But i have a slight problem...

Creating a .tsk theme is easy but there is a problem with the BaseHue value. Setting BaseHue to a colour that you want works great when you're changing themes from any theme other than the windows default one. When you're changing from the WD theme, the colour changes and then promptly changes back.

You can seem to get around this problem by setting the "5" value to RRGGBBaa and ignoring the BaseHue one entirely but.... you cant get greys. I've even tried setting the 5 value and then BaseHue one sequentially in the same theme, but still no luck.

Any help would be most awesome! :D
[General Topics] ZeBoxx:
Huh... weird - confirmed, no idea why it's doing that, though... 'll sic ceregspy on it, but even if I can glean some information from it, I doubt it'll help with the issue :) Must be because the "Windows Default" theme is 'special'.
[General Topics] ZeBoxx:
Okay, very weird... a ton of stuff happens, and I can't really make heads or tails of it.

But in general what seems to be happening is that the BaseHue value is set, then deleted, and then set again. Right before it is set again, color value 5 is queried.

This happens for switching between any of the themes, by the way. So the "Windows Default" one must indeed have special handling or something, though I don't understand why it would have that. Seems like a bug - or at least 'unexpected behavior'.

I guess there's plenty of work-arounds, or you could just settle for not having the greyscale gradients ( / use the solid color overrides instead).

P.S. if anybody wants to peek at that registry access dump, check the attachment.
[General Topics] ZeBoxx:
Err... stupid me.

You could just set the value 5 to a greyscale value, of course, and just leave BaseHue out of it altogether. That works %)

Edit:

Basically, here's the deal - and I lost sight of that for a moment.. It's early, what can I say.

For Theming, you want to use value 5, and set that to whatever color you like. The BaseHue will be derived from this. If you specify anything but a grey color, then the BaseHue will be derived directly from the hue of that color. If you specify a grey color, a fixed greyscale value will be used. (BaseHue value has many greyscale intensities, but these do not appear to get mapped to by using a darker/lighter greyscale value 5).

For run-time modifications, you modify the BaseHue value. E.g. for alert programs/whatever. Modifying value '5' will get you nothing.

So these are two separate purposes. *tattoos that on his forehead, in mirrorscript*
[General Topics] SupaSpud:
Wierd

Ok... so i tried a long shot and it worked. Wierd....

If you, in your theme, change the "Skin" value in HKCU\software\microsoft\today to the name of your theme.... the base hue sticks..... except only results in one tone of grey. BaseHue values from 0 to 256 miraculously become 137. There must be some kind of saturation or luminance value... :?

Check it out...
[General Topics] SupaSpud:
use 5 for grey scale?? how. it seems it gives you a colour base on relative RGB values.... ie 10,10,10 is exactly the same as 100,100,100. how doe you get grey?
[General Topics] ZeBoxx:

Just like using the value 5 to control the colors - they all map to 137 as well.

Not that I've found :|
[General Topics] ZeBoxx:
Stick it in a theme file... example attached. Note that I used valued "80,80,80,00", but it really doesn't matter what grey value you use - it ends up setting BaseHue to 137 all the same.

However, this -does- work when switching from the Windows Default theme... which is what was asked about :) Of course if they wanted a darker or lighter set of greys, they'll have to either switch to another theme first, or use a theme installer, or some other application to set the BaseHue after setting the theme.. etc.
[General Topics] SupaSpud:
True... So you can get one tone of grey with "5".

Hmmm... i'm guessing the answer must be in that really nasty Value "SHColor"... or "42". Seems to be the only place.
[General Topics] ZeBoxx:
nothing wrong with SHColor ;)

It's just a BLOB, like the GWE one. You can try poking at it, I haven't yet.. bit tedious to edit

What's 42, though? If you happen to know, 'd like to add that to the wiki. My Wizard originally had a value 42, but I haven't spotted where that color is used at all (I've got it set to a bright pink, so it'd stand out).

It's on there, though :) Color_CaptionFlat

You'd put it in:

So if your Theme filename is "Hello.tsk", use:

HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Hello.tsk\Color_CaptionFlat = FF 00 FF 00 (REG_BINARY)

To make it a flat magenta color. Haven't spotted anything that would give it a different color while keeping the shading (e.g. the left/right color you can set on the bubbles).

Another question about Theme colours (please don't hate me :oops: )

Is there a way to modify the "little stripe" color ?

In my case is similar to violet

Thanks a lot :wink:

Ps. If you come in Rome I will pay you many dinners at the best restaurants ! :lol:
[General Topics] ZeBoxx:
certainly... the little stripe bit and such default to pretty gradients based off of the BaseHue value. So you could change your BaseHue value in the registry to "160" for a nice dark grey gradient. If you want to do it in your theme, set value "5" to "00 00 00 00" (binary). That wont' make it black, it will actually even be a lighter grey than BaseHue '160', but you can't properly set BaseHue through a theme file.

There *might* be some value to override the colors used for those little stripes, but I haven't spotted it :)
