[Windows Mobile Themes] mylostblog:
Can anyone post a screenshot of this theme?
[Windows Mobile Themes] m.carroll:
umm...first post anyone?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mylostblog:
:p I know.. i saw the picture.. I mean, anyone else? maybe with different resolution? :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] synclover:
can i use it in my SE Xperia WM6.1 ? which one should i dload ? VGA or QVGA ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] m.carroll:
I cannot stress enough that this is for WM6.5 ONLY!!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] jakirkla:
won't boot?

I love this Theme, but it causes my WM6.5 Fuze to not boot upon reset. I've done a couple days worth of testing to isolate exactly what was causing the issue and I've isolated it to this theme. Any ideas why? If you figure it out, I would love to reinstall this theme as it is my favorite.
[Windows Mobile Themes] m.carroll:
really weird, i'm running just about the same os, and havent ever had any issues... (it should never not boot, if anything just not show the proper images and revert to a 6.1 esque theme...) did you cook in any special menus or anything?
[Windows Mobile Themes] jakirkla:
no special menus or cooking. It' locks up on the red WM6.5 boot screen after the white AT&T splash screen. Since I'm running Exchange push email with corporate security policy, I have to enter password during boot, but it freezes before it get's to that. I did one final test before posing this with a backup ready to restore everything. Sure enough, as soon as I install your VGA cab and then reset (or power off and on) it freezes. Other apps I have installed are:

Showaco reStart

Showaco Chrome Editor

Showaco Titanium Weather

Opera 9.5

Google Maps

Adobe Reader

CorePlayer
[Windows Mobile Themes] hrzeyni:
Great theme, love it :)

Any chance to get the upper and lower taskbar transparent? That would be cool, or is the transparence part of the taskbar?
[Windows Mobile Themes] schettj:
Any chance we can flip the black and white? IE - black letters, white background on the main view? Title bars/menus the same...

That would make this a perfect theme for light background images.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Flip-Oh:
Grey background on build 21815

WM 6.5 Build 21815 has some new functionality in terms of skinnable UI elements. Problem is: the background color is now light grey when using the PureBlack2 theme instead of the white it used to be :-/

Any chance you could check it out and update this fine fine theme that I've been using exclusively for quite some time now?

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Themes] yves707:
the same here :(

any idea or update to the theme?

thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] m.carroll:
Hey all,

I'll be taking a look at the "new" themes this weekend when I've got some time. I expect to release a "Theming Pack" with a template .TSK, original image resources from Microsoft and possibly a guide to how I go about things (updated after I figure out what's going on with this new stuff...)

Hang tight, guys. Help is on the way!
[Windows Mobile Themes] yves707:
thanks for the quick-fix coming :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] tommy34:
I had nothing todo :) So i fixed the TSK file for 21815

Just extract this file to your windows directory. Change your theme to another theme and then back to pureblack.

And the white background is back :cool:

Edit: attachements removed, look two posts down for new versions :)

No credits for me please, it is not my theme ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] daliborkv:
I have noticed some other issues. In resco explorer problem is that selected item is not marked with black color (it's red), and marked items in settings panel are also red.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tommy34:
I think i fixed the red issue with this one attached, same install instructions as above

Please confirm if it is fixed.

Edit: I re-uploaded the cab files, They didnt install the theme correctly. Now they do.
[Windows Mobile Themes] m.carroll:
Thanks guys, I haven't had much time to look in to this stuff. PM coming just to see how you did it :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] BoatS:
I'm using a 21820 ROM and I just installed the VGA CAB and so far it works great.

Thanks for fixing this and thanks to m. carroll for this great theme. I've been using it for quite awhile and haven't seen anything I like better. Great work.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Zoltair Wright:
This is a great theme, but for some reason it's turning my default background color to grey.
[Windows Mobile Themes] BoatS:
See Post 59 that has the fixed version.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tictac224:
Hi this is my first time on the forums and I really like this skin. I am trying to install it on my Omnia but I can't seem to make it work. Can anyone help?
[Windows Mobile Themes] daliborkv:
Yes, it is fixed. Thank you very much.
[Windows Mobile Themes] DomSim:
can you tell me what the fix for the grey background is? i have searched through your cabs and cannot find what is different. i would like to fix my theme as well but need some help.
[Windows Mobile Themes] navenedrob:
How can I cook this into a ROM? It is for a Treo 240x240 ROM.
[Windows Mobile Themes] 7ommy:
I've installed pureblack2 theme on my HD with onkolg 6.5 superlite ROM and it doesn't work. Top and bottom bars revert to grey and new 6.5 finger friendly menu revert to 6.1 style.

Can you help me? (i've already tried the original and the fixed one)
[Windows Mobile Themes] BRSG:
Nevermind... It's working already!
[Windows Mobile Themes] orb3000:
Thanks a lot!

Great black one:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] m.carroll:
my suggestions would be to extract the registry settings from both cabs and run beyondcompare on them to see the differences, i myself havent had the time to check.

OS version (build number), and maybe a screenshot of the problem would help.

First, are you running windows mobile 6.5? this will 100% not work on wm6.1.
[Windows Mobile Themes] 7ommy:
hi carroll, thankyou

build: 21820

and here some screenshots

N.B. in the meanwhile i've noticed another thing: with other roms (such as miri 6.5 v26) in the "remove programs" i have "pure black" and "pure black V2"; and the theme works. in onkolog ROM i have only "pure black".
[Windows Mobile Themes] m.carroll:
you are correct in thinking that it should display both. This is a function of the way my themes are installed. one is the .tsk file, which windows can remove independently of the image files, whereas the other is the installer for both the tsk and the image files. its kinda one of those weird idiosyncrasies that happened to pop up along the way

have you tried setting to a different theme and then reverting back? i dont know that itll work, but i'd give it a shot... it kinda seems like something might not have installed correctly (images or something). Try uninstalling and reinstalling (i know its stupid, it might just work)
[Windows Mobile Themes] kidoucorp:
For the people having grey bars, I made a cab for someone who had the same problem using my rom.

Don't know if it will works for you, but here is it
[Windows Mobile Themes] 7ommy:
thank you carroll, but nothing seems to solve the problem.

i think it's a rom problem: i've just tried other 6.5 themes and none works. maybe some files missing. any idea?
[Windows Mobile Themes] 7ommy:
thank you kidoucorp, but the problem remains.
[Windows Mobile Themes] YACO:
Wm6.5 23022

Are you going to create a new version for 23022? The OK/Close button is actually down in the bottom bar (not the top task bar)...

:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Shawn_230:
I just got this theme and it's not working completely for me.

I see others might be having the same problem, but I'm not certain. Will the CAB from post #59 fix this issue for me? Thing is I'm using QVGA and that says it's for the VGA version.

Using WinMo 6.5 build 230017. Cheers.
[Windows Mobile Themes] m.carroll:
i'm unsure, i haven't yet upgraded to 23022 (moving and buying a car), but i dont think it should introduce any major changes skin-wise. what does it look like when you apply the skin?

basically, the way i structured my cab's it has wallpapers for wvga and vga and everything is for the most part only dependent on dpi, so if its based on mine you should be good to go.

not really sure on this one, perhaps a rom upgrade would do you well, as you mentioned other 6.5 themes do not work either.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Shawn_230:
Sorry, but I'm not sure I follow...

I'm having issues with the white background appearing as light gray. I see some others have the same issue, and I think post #59 contains a fix in the third attached CAB but it says it's for VGA... I need a fix for the QVGA version since I'm using an Omnia (WQVGA).
[Windows Mobile Themes] m.carroll:
sorry, it was a little early for me to be answering questions :D post #59 has a qvga cab as well (2nd cab). that should work just fine.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Shawn_230:
I thought that was only a fix for the red issue. :p

Works a treat, many thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] dlcoppess:
Great theme. I use it with Gen.Y.'s Manila. Thank you very much.
[Windows Mobile Themes] harutfromnh:
Great

thx
[Windows Mobile Themes] BoatS:
I just updated my ROM to 23028 and it works great. With the default themes, it has large, finger friendly buttons for SK1 and SK2. With the PureBlack2 theme (my favorite for some time), it loses the button shapes and just has the regular text for the SKs. It works but I was hoping there is a way to get the theme with the Soft Key buttons.

The two images show the Rock and Republic that has the buttons - as do all MS tsks. PureBlack2 loses the button images and just has text. This occurs throughout for the SKs as well as the OK and close "X" (now at the bottom of the screen) and menu keys, etc.

If possible, it would be great to have a CAB with the update.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] BRSG:
I've installed this theme in Miri's WM6.5 v26.2 (23017) ROM and some details that with the previous WM6.5 builds became black, now are still green...

For what I've seen till now, when I connect my Touch HD to my computer the screen that appears with the three options (activesync, disk drive or internet sharing), with the previous WM6.5 builds the selection dot was black, now it still remains green!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Coruja747:
Latest version of pureblack2 theme is not 100% compatible with WM 6.5 23047+, someone got plans to make a new version compatible with newest 6.5?

It just got 3 problems on build 23047:

-Double start menu icon on star menu lower bar (it shows the start menu again instead of the lock button)

-Some menu got gray background, dont know if its really a bug (but its strange, just open the system shutdown confirmation and you will see)

-Gray font texts on "rotative" screens, like when you click on Settings > System > About. It shows "Copyright << Version >> Device" with gray font like it was unselectable
[Windows Mobile Themes] mikevillarroel:
What about the fix for your GlossBlack theme?
[Windows Mobile Themes] StevePritchard:
+1 for this. Anybody know how to do it?

Cheers,

Steve.
[Windows Mobile Themes] BoatS:
I came close. I took all classicblue png images from windows and edited the blue ones to black and then moved them back to the windows directory. That took care of the highlighting and scroll bars, etc. I found another black background I like and all in all it's pretty close to m carroll's Pure Black tsk.

I'd preferred the classic black background but can't find the image.

I'd move back to this tsk but want the more recent ROM button layouts.

[Windows Mobile Themes] Heart1010:
Same here on "info/error/... windows".

How can I change that gray to the correct white color?
[Windows Mobile Themes] gackt:
re

ys,i got the same problem here! can help?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Heart1010:
Look at the files "menuBorder.png" and "msgboxBorder.png". I think these two files are responsable for that gray "bug". Edit these files and make the background white and it should be fixed...

Attached the fixed ones...
[Windows Mobile Themes] m.carroll:
actually, its one of the color registry settings, i'm not quite sure which. i'm really bogged down with school atm, so i dont know when i'll be able to fix it. there may have been a corrected version posted on a previous page...

sorry guys, i really wish there was more time in a day...
[Windows Mobile Themes] D.O.C:
very nice theme!, how did u get rid of the separator horizontal lines? can you make an updated theme with the expandable scrollbar?

I have been trying to figure out by myself how to mod your cab but I have reached my limits, its time to ask for help..... thanks bro!.

edit: forget it bro, I already managed to do it myself about the scrollbars, I guess I needed a little time off, what I dont get is how to color the separator horizontal lines ( I mean your are great in black, I want to make those lines black on other themes) ........ thanks bro!.
[Windows Mobile Themes] vshood:
thank you for your help

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.

[Windows Mobile Themes] stevierayvaughan:
Will this work in WM 6.5.x??
[Windows Mobile Themes] whitemoo:
on the versions with the windows button on the bottom?

Sure it will.

But on screens (mostly in settings) the theme displays the tab you are on in white, and the background in grey. Sorta annoying, but just a way of saying 'Stop fiddling with me'

Hi, I cannot seem to install the HTCPhone.cab app, it tells me that it is already installed, asks me to uninstall, then tells me it can't uninstall, and at the end of the installation tells me that it is unsuccessful... How do I clean up the registry / remove files in order to install the APP.

Thanks

Joel
[XPERIA X1 General] esudl:
Take a look in the registry at HKLM\Security\AppInstall, you should find it there if it's installed. maybe try renaming the key from there, since you're reinstalling it you might be ok. Or Try using something like memmaid to uninstall it, I think it can clear it up better. Thomas

[G1 Android Development] Woodard2589:
Ok, i searched and couldn't find much about my problem with trying to partition my sd card to get ext2. when i try to partition in paragon it tells me this when i click on the sd card:

A new partition cannot be created on this hard disk. Most probably, all primary slots are occupied and there is no extended partition.

I tried reformatting the memory card to see if that would help, but it didnt change anything. So why is my sd card only allowing one primary partition? Is there any way around this problem? I tried on a 1gb card i had laying around and it will let me do it just fine, just not to my 8gb.
[G1 Android Development] aaronkt:
It doesnt work with Windows 7 either. And i tried compatibility modes.
[G1 Android Development] wizern23:
You have to go into the advance mode. which is on the bottom of the main blue screen when you open it up. Then you have to delete the partition on your card. After that hit Apply(the green checkmark at top). right click on your sd where its says unallocated space and create the fat32 partition to the size you want and then use the rest of the space to create the ext2 partition no bigger than 2gb. When you have the two partitions hit apply and follow the directions it gives you. It mostly runs on its own at that point but you will need to restart the computer when it asks you to. make sure you do this through an adapter and not usb because it will show an error message after restart.
[G1 Android Development] Woodard2589:
OK i deleted the partition but it only gives me the option to test the surface or something like that, i've tried the apply button twice now, and it just takes a few seconds and says its done, it says its unallocated now but when i explroe it in paragon i can see all my files still but it doesnt show on the computer anymore. it still has the same name and everything in paragon, but i still can't format it or create a partition, so right now i can't do anything else with it in paragon. in disk management i can see its there though and format it so i tried creating a simple volume on it leaving 100mb open for ext2 but after i do that i can't do anything else with the unallocated space in disk management and paragon still only sees the fat32 part of it, so i deleted the whole partition again and just did fat32. is my sd card just pure **** or what?
[G1 Android Development] charnsingh_online:
DO this

I had the same problem till today until i first formatted sd to single partition ie. fat 32 and then used my phone to partition it using the following steps-

You will need to download the attached file

and dump mke2fs and sdsplit or http://www.mediafire.com/?d9ceg9sbi2g files on your sdcard

There should not be any data except the files you downloaded.

BEFORE WE BEGIN, THIS WILL ERASE YOUR SDCARD, BACKUP BEFORE YOU START!

Step 1 - We're going to Partition your sdcard

open terminal emulator

$ su

# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

# busybox cp -a /sdcard/mke2fs /system/

# busybox cp -a /sdcard/sdsplit /system/

# cd system

# chmod 777 mke2fs

# chmod 777 sdsplit

******************************************

This is important! What size is your sdcard? If it's a 1gb and you want to share 50-50 then move to the next step and use 500m otherwise you have some very simple maths to do. 1gb is 1000mb (not actually but for simplicity...) if your card is 4gb and you want 500mb app space you need to specify 3500m. if it's 8gb and you want 1gb you would specify 7000m take the size you want for apps away from the size of your sdcard, add an m to the end and that is your magic number.

*******************************************

# sh sdsplit -fs MAGICNUMBER --pmke2fs /system/mke2fs

DOnt forget to put m after magic number like write 7000m instead of 7000

If all goes well you now have 2 partitions to your sdcard: you should get a message like this

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System

/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 1 62 7277445+ b Win95 FAT32

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 63 968 497983 83 Linux

If you have, congrats. my next post in this thread will explain how to move your application, but pat yourself on the back, the hardest bit has been done!!!!!!

If any error come on copying data back to sd like can't mount sd dont worry.

It should be good till creating ext2 partition.

If not please follow go back to the beginning and follow these steps exactly.

Step 2 Mounting you're new linux partition.

Ok dump init.rc and mountd.conf on your sdcard (the windows portion - which is the only part that will appear) I highly recommend at this point you copy a update.zip onto your card just incase everything goes horribly wrong

Open Terminal emulator

$ su

# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

# mkdir /system/sd

# busybox cp -a /sdcard/mountd.conf /system/etc/mountd.conf

# busybox cp -a /sdcard/init.rc /system/init.rc

# reboot

I recommend a nandroid a before partition and wipe after partition.

Now everythings done. Download APPS to sd apps and move your apps.

COngrats.

.There may be other methods but others didn't work for me but this one did.

I also had the same problem exact same. I f****ed my sd with paragon and this saved me.
[G1 Android Development] Woodard2589:
ok so after windows still wouldnt see the sd card in my computer, i checked it again and even though i assigned it a drive letter it didnt show up so i assigned it one again. so then the computer seen it so i decided to play with paragon again. this time though it let me partition it, idk why it was so goofy before but i got it setup now. i wanted to give 100mb to ext2 but since i have to use the slider i could only give 77 or 155, 77 a little low and 155 to high since the cards about filled as it is, so ill see how 77mb works. thanks for the help
[G1 Android Development] charnsingh_online:
do as said

Make it atleast 500 mb Will work better with it or u have to repartition it.

The problem:

i am trying 2 finish up on a TF2D (newest manila update) theme, and i have 2 files 2x (1 is upper and the other is lower) that wont delete/rename.

The files:

(HH_HM_AM.PNG & hh_hm_am.png) & (HH_HM_PM.PNG & hh_hm_pm.png) i have no idea how i got 2 of each. the lower case files property attributes are (read only & in ROM). the upper case files property attributes are (archive). i want 2 delete the upper case files but it wont let me.

The process:

before i try 2 delete/rename i turn touchflo off under setting/today/items. i even tried to soft reset after i UNcheck touchflo but before i tried delete/rename. i have used active sync and total commander, tried rename and delete all end up with the same error cannot rename file, cannot delete file.

i searched, found sum similar topics but all suggest what i have already done. can sum1 pls help me an figure out how i can delete the 2 uppercase files so i can fully test and have my theme work on my phone. and yes the am and pm do make a big difference, 2 me at least.

so thank you 4 any help any1 can give me.
