[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
The third beta seems to be causing some trouble, so I suggest you all move back to the second or use the old customziation CABs for now. A (usable) fourth beta will be available soon, then the final release. Stay tuned!

I think I'll stick with the first version, simply because the graphics look best this way. Making it smaller leaves odd effects on the spacing, same applies for the menu selectors.

The video shows all three versions of the app, you'll have to skip somewhere to the end and you'll see the third beta.

The menu selectors as big as the default Classic Blue, they just look bigger because the image is different. Making it smaller would result in the above stated issue. The arrows are a bit pixelated, will fix it in the next version.

Will upload on MediaFire tomorrow.

Installed on Win Mobiile 6.1

Hi Guys,

i've got a big problem: I installed the newest Version of Livven SimpleGloss on my Samsung Omnia with Windows Mobile 6.1. But there it dosen't change the color of the Selectors to the Glass-Effect..... Now it ist a grey bar - verry bad! :( Now my Question: Is there any way to restore the old Win Mobile 6.1 Style? I need you Help!!!

Thank you ...

(I'm from german so pleas don't critic my ortografy...)
[Windows Mobile Themes] cpu32:
Win Mobile 6.1 again

Hi again ...

i forgot s.th. : After deinstall the Livven SimpleGloss-Application the Problem is awy... After a Soft-Reset , too :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] cris_rowlands:
Im working on a simple fix for people who get the unskinned menu selectors :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] cris_rowlands:
To fix the problem where it isnt skinning the selectors in menus, run the .exe Ive uploaded and then reset the theme (by either restarting your phone or change the theme to something else and then back again)

If you use the 3rd version of my editor to edit the selector again, you will have to run the .exe every time.

(the fix.exe is in a zip file, you will have to unzip it first)
[Windows Mobile Themes] cpu32:
No Change

Hi

after start the fix.exe there are no changes - It's still dark grey:(

But: Is it possible to set all changes (now grey) to the windows-blue back ?

Because i saw that the progress bars and background of standard-messages are dark grey too... :( Its really bad!!! Please help me!!!

cpu32

@ cris_rowlands:

thank you for the fast answer! :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] cpu32:
fix.exe don't start after the 2. time

I forgot to tell: after the second start of fix.exe there is only a error-massage when i'll start the fix.exe i mean:

1.start : Massage("Fixed")

2.,3.,4.,..... Start: Don't start......
[Windows Mobile Themes] cris_rowlands:
:s that fix.exe should have fixed it.. hence the name :/

erm. I really dont have a clue. sorry.

Maybe you could try changing to another theme other than the Livven SimpleGloss one? :P
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
I don't think the fix.exe is necessary as skinning of the menu should be controlled by the TSK, so you won't need this in the next version. And Cris, it doesn't work for cpu32 because he uses WM 6.1 ;).

Das Theme funktioniert nur auf WM 6.5 und höher, um zurück zum Standard-Theme zu wechseln, musst du auf Einstellungen>Persönlich>Heute gehen und dort ein anderes Theme auswählen. Aus diesem Grund funktioniert der Fix auch nicht. I helped him in German, hope you don't mind.

Okay, I'll change this back. But still, the theme won't work correctly for you as you have WM 6.1.
[Windows Mobile Themes] cris_rowlands:
I know, its just that in your TSK, it says the selector filename is "Livven_Selector.png" but my app was coping the files across and calling it "Livven_Selector_Black.png" (or the other way round, I cant remember)

I think I must have looked at the wrong TSK when I was coding it :P

the little fix.exe checks if the file exists & then renames the file back to the correct name :)

(it has to check first or else it would crash if it tried to rename a file that doesnt exist. lol)
[Windows Mobile Themes] zibbie:
Like the idea..... but...

not all the options.

I installed the themes last night and the version 2 editor. Is version 1 still around?

I want to find a way to make CLEAR taskbars and CLEAR toolbars. I don't like black, at all. Seemed like the video of the editor showed that as possible in version 1.

I'd also like control of the color of the buttons. On my TItanium page, I want clear buttons like in some Themes, though not SimpleGloss. And then in other screens, I want light blue buttons on a clear toolbar, with a red button for OK or X.

Can I do ALL of that with your themes?

Can you suggest a theme generator, for a complete redo of an existing theme, like Isaac Mizrati's Purple, etc.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
You mean completely transparent taskbar and toolbar? This isn't possible unless you take the top and bottom part of your wallpaper and set it as the image to use for them, which is rather cumbersome. If you're on a (W)VGA device HDWalls can do this automatically for you.

Could you give me an example for that? You can get clear buttons with the Plain or Sense Softkeys from the customization CABs.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Gangsta147147:
What is this rom in the picture ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Why? It's a 6.5.3 ROM by +QuePPC for the HTC Hermes.
[Windows Mobile Themes] zibbie:
As otherwise noted...

I don't use TouchFlo or Sense, so I didn't think HDWalls would be a good fit. I do want clear taskbar and clear toolbars.

I also want to be able to edit the Glass Selector Colors, say a Cobalt Blue selector, but a Red Menu button.

I don't know how to explain myself or to give you a picture of a screen capture. I haven't been able to find what I want. Though I know I don't like Black at all.

Say a light blue button (normal) and a cobalt blue button for depressed. And the OK or X button is always red?

Thanks for the suggestions
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
I think I understand what you mean - you want the softkey buttons always colored, not only when pressed, right? And nicer (red) close/OK icons. I'll ask Cris and see what he'll be able to do, changing the icons should be easy but the colored softkeys seem to be more complex.

BTW people I just finished some new taskbar/toolbar styles, more graphics updated are to come! They'll be included when the next version of the Editor app is ready.
[Windows Mobile Themes] zibbie:
That would be great...

Yes I think you get it. Just also always clear taksbars and tool bars. So, that the icons kind of look suspended.

Greatly appreciated. Look forward to the changes.
[Windows Mobile Themes] fowen:
Love the themes. Simple Professional and good looking. The only bug I have found is the keyboard icon inside of the dialer seems to be off. I have seen this with the MightyRom and the Plutonium Rom on the Touch Pro 2. Anyway to fix this?
[Windows Mobile Themes] TangerineTractor:
Themes working great on my Mega...

One question: Does anyone know if/how to change the softkwy font/size. I'd just like it small like the original WM5/6/6.1/6.5 style - the bigger font is annoying, shortening 'Notification' to 'Noti...' It must be a reg key or something?
[Windows Mobile Themes] rouzb3h:
this theme is pretty much the only reason why Im using 6.5.x! just wanted to thank you :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] TangerineTractor:
Found it myself using SKtools... made the font size 800 instead of 1050, and bolded it, looks much better. Still abbreviates longer words, but definitely looks better.
[Windows Mobile Themes] lemonspeakers:
This is the best visual ever!. Nice taskbar!
[Windows Mobile Themes] ivanmatz:
your themes are gorgeous specifically G Lass. To good, keep it up. ty!~
[Windows Mobile Themes] 4D3:
hi, can i just ask what font you have on titanium here:

I cant see it!!

also @ Livven: has the editor app been fixed yet for the people with the skin issues?

thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Sorry, this one is not possible, as it's not theme-related and too complex.

This is caused by HTC Phone Canvas, as it's designed for the smaller bottom bar of WM 6.5. Try the plain toolbar and you won't notice it.

I guess it's just normal Tahoma. As for the Editor app, it'll be fixed when Cris finishes the new version. It will also have many new customizations!

I'm also preparing a GTX Sense variation, which will be either released stand-alone or as an additional addon, I'm not sure yet.
[Windows Mobile Themes] federicojj:
Thanks man, excelent work
[Windows Mobile Themes] janneman22:
That would be great !!:D:D
[Windows Mobile Themes] w64bit:
Hello.

Please help me with some answers:

1. I want only default plain taskbar.

For this I installed:

Livven SimpleGloss Themes 192dpi.cab

and

Livven Default Plain Taskbar 192dpi.cab

It is OK? Can I install only Livven Default Plain Taskbar 192dpi.cab for default plain taskbar only?

2. When I press Windows button (enter in WM menu) the lock button is not correctly displayed. It is made of magenta random pixels.

Can I fix this?

3. When I uninstall a program the OK and Cancel text/buttons are not displayed.

Can I fix this?

4. If I uninstall both cab files, the default plain taskbar remains. I cannot restore the default WM black taskbar (the one with circles and ovals).

Is there any setting to do or registry item to delete?

Thank you.

Quinn
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dadi68:
Hi Livven! Thank you very much fot this great theme!

I have a question dude:

I'm installed then following files:

- Livven SimpleGloss Themes 192dpi.cab

- Livven Glass Selectors 192dpi.cab

- Livven Hero Softkeys 192dpi.cab

- Livven Hero Taskbar 192dpi.cab

- Livven Hero Toolbar 192dpi.cab

Im attached 2 screenshots (on from the today screen and one from the programs)

Why the topbar and the taskbar are different in this two screens? I made something wrong?
[Windows Mobile Themes] janneman22:
The taskbar (and the toolbar also) in the start menu is always a lill transperant. That's normal:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dadi68:
Thank you janneman22 for your answer

I feel better now :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
As you can see from the name, the default plain taskbar is default, so you do not need to install it unless you have installed another taskbar an want to revert to default.

Do these only happen with my theme? Is it only the lock icon itself or the whole softkey-button? Do you mean the OK button on the bottom right?

The taskbar is at the top, do you mean the toolbar at the bottom, perhaps? My themes do not override any original files, so just select whatever theme you had before and it should work.
[Windows Mobile Themes] cris_rowlands:
Sorry i havent released the 4th version of my customizer, ive been on holliday & have a lot on my plate recently. Ill start work on it again by the end of this week. This new version is much better than previous versions so far : )

Sent from my Rhodium using the XDA mobile application.
[Windows Mobile Themes] saveferris:
Excellent app...well done. I think there may be a graphics glitch in the " choose where you wan't to install this program screen" the round selector is very pix-elated.

Once again you're a champ.

edit: its all the dot selectors...found in the sounds and notifications > screen taps etc.

Also there are no skinning of the written menu's just arrows.

Thanks for all your hard work......
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
You mean in the Editor app beta 3? I won't fix it, but wait for the next version of it, or download the regular version.

I also updated some graphics and fixed some small things, see first post.
[Windows Mobile Themes] nickschot:
Thanks for the update :D!

The small dropdown arrows still have the same stretching problem though (albeit a few less pixels). Maybe its solved by filling all of the image? It cant stretch it anymore that way.

This is on a VGA Touch Diamond (192dpi).
[Windows Mobile Themes] hskeik:
Thanks for the new updates, but where can I download the new version (18 Apr) ? cause I just see the beta 3 and beta 2...
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Did you soft-reset?

The app has not been updated, it's just the regular version (ZIP).
[Windows Mobile Themes] nickschot:
Oh yes I did. New arrow looks pretty neat. But when clicked still stretched. Need a screenshot?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dadi68:
thank you for the new version! :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] janneman22:
new release is really great:D
[Windows Mobile Themes] srgudhka:
how can i get these (red arrow marked)
[Windows Mobile Themes] nickschot:
Thats a preview of Livven's upcoming theme.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
So it gets some pixels narrower when pressed but looks fine else? That's normal.

I'll include them in the next version of the app. Sorry, but I'm tired of making so many CABs...
[Windows Mobile Themes] nickschot:
No no no it still gets wider (3px on each side I think?). Ill make some shots.

Edit:
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Strange... it seems the width is 36px instead of 26px. Could you check your values in HKLM\System\GWE\cxVScr and HKLM\System\GWE\cyHScr? And what's the default value (without applying the CAB)?
[Windows Mobile Themes] nickschot:
Both 18 with your theme. With microsoft classic blue its the same. Im gonna do an MTTY with hard reset tomorrow (ive got some weird scrollbar not showing up problem...). Will check everything again then.

edit: eheh... microsofts theme also stretches. Creepy stuff. Ill report back after mtty..
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
This width is theme-independent, so I asked you what that value was without the CAB (and not the TSK ;). Strange, though - I just checked the CAB inside the ZIP and it's clearly 13! If you manually change it to 13 and then soft-reset, everything should be fine.

Does anyone else have this issue?
[Windows Mobile Themes] nickschot:
Might be because I cooked your cab into my rom and just changed the .tsk afterwards. Thanks! Ill update my ROM asap!

edit: and yes now it gets a few px narrower when pressed.
[Windows Mobile Themes] hskeik:
Dear Livven, do you have an idea, when we'll have your next release? can't wait, it seems very nice...
[Windows Mobile Themes] peputinho:
testing on new 6.5.5 (chinese.translated) TG01 new ROM and seems it works fine. Great Job
[Windows Mobile Themes] light_n_roses:
Hi all !

I have used Livven SimpleGloss Themes 192dpi on my kitchen but it change also the taskbar in windows 6.5.5 while I would like to use another one, is there something that I can do to only use Livven SimpleGloss Themes 192dpi for selectors and anothor cab for taskbars ?

P.S. sorry If I have ask somethins stupid or already asked..
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
It just makes the taskbar (the one across the top) completely black, is that what you mean? Just replace the "livven_taskbar.png" image with any other image you like, for example the ones in the customization CABs.
[Windows Mobile Themes] light_n_roses:
mhm usualy I use those 2 cabs here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=637858

Steve 0007 Bottom bar.cab and	Steve 007 - Taskbar Blue icon Windows 6.5.x.cab ...and they don't work now...anyway if I delete the livven_taskbar.png file what happens ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Do you mean just the icons or the bar itself? The icons should work fine, for the bars you have to replace "livven_taskbar.png" (for the one across the top) or "livven_toolbar.png" (across the bottom) with the one from the CAB. Deleting them doesn't help.
[Windows Mobile Themes] light_n_roses:
I don't think that this gonna work, that cab change everything in the taskbar, not only the color of the bar...it's not more symple if you said me how to modified the folder that I have in my kitchen in a way that only change selector and not touch windows default taskbar in windows 6.5.5 ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] janneman22:
When would you release the GREAT:D next version? I'm so curious:D:D
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
This theme does not change the taskbar icons, as these are controlled by various DLLs while this is just a TSK with some PNG images. So installing the taskbar should work fine, without any conflict.

Well, as I'm tired of making so many CABs, which is a very inefficient and boring proccess, I'll release it once the app is finished. But unfortunately, Cris has stopped development, so I'll have to do some coding myself. Should be done in some weeks. Or, if you can't wait, I can send you the files and you make some neat CABs out of them :).
[Windows Mobile Themes] janneman22:
Right. Send me the files :D:D
[Windows Mobile Themes] LuRock:
hi if anyone can help please. I installed the cabs. Im at the part were im suppose to go to start>settings> Home?? i dont see home. I have 6.5 any help thanks...
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Maybe it's called Today, it's just the house icon where you set your theme, wallpaper etc. Just look around :).
[Windows Mobile Themes] LuRock:
thanx... got it : )
[Windows Mobile Themes] atticus182:

[Windows Mobile Themes] 4D3:
Hi,

any news on the theme changer update?

It has been many weeks now! it is a really huge pain in the ass to install this theme without the changer as i have to manually find and swap the png's i like!!!

Or is there a cab you can post that has the following:

Black Theme (no other colours)

Transparent top bar

Transparent bottom bar

No Selectors

Thanks in advance

[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Big update released, many new customizations and updated graphics, see the first post.

And a name change, from now on they're just called Livven Themes as you can customize it to look neither simple nor glossy :p.
[Windows Mobile Themes] teorouge:
Wow, volcano day for you! :D

Updating...

Thanks Livven!
[Windows Mobile Themes] hskeik:
Dear Livven, what about customizer (app that helps customizate)?
[Windows Mobile Themes] vmixez:
thank livven, this is a nice theme and the easiest customization way.
[Windows Mobile Themes] akhilsaini2001:
THANKS

Wow.... Ur themes are spectacular.... Just the way i wanted since long........ Thanks livven...
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Unfortunately, Cris decided to stop development for it as he's quite busy right now, and I haven't had the motivation to look into it myself... maybe I'll get someone else to help with this one.

Anyway thanks for your feedback guys :)!
[Windows Mobile Themes] nickschot:
I've looked a little bit into the source... only problem is my PC has crashed and I have exams now :mad:. So will take a while...

Great updates to the theme though!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Mackzen:
@ Livven

Hi

I saw you note at the bottom in first post.

I cooks roms over modaco for omnia and use your theme.

Sorry, I have forgot to ask for your permission but I do it now :)

(can't post link) but search :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Great, will PM you.

Yeah, no problem, you can use it, I just recently added that note because I was sick of other sites (or people in the forums) uploading these themes or even renaming it to their own :).
[Windows Mobile Themes] Mackzen:
Thanks

btw, Theme is realy nice:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] teorouge:
So thanks!

Another nice update Livven, thanks. Just notice a little glitch when tick and untick a box (see screen 03). Anyway it keeps getting better, thank you once again! ;)

ps. think I'll go with round edges next ROM! :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] 4D3:
is there any way to get a COMPLETELY transparent top and bottom bar? instead of the grey? or even if they stayed the same colour when going in and tou of the start menu?

(im not using sense and using titanium instead)

thanks

MG
[Windows Mobile Themes] zhaidamin:
beautiful!:p
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Yeah, I know, but I'll keep it this way because the checker won't look good if you make it smaller.

You can use BG Tweak for that, there's a version which just changes the transparency of the taskbar and toolbar in the third post.
[Windows Mobile Themes] cris_rowlands:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzn2WDcB-3Y

[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Wow, mate, this looks awesome! Hope it'll be equally fast on older devices like my Hermes :o.

I'll PM you later :).
[Windows Mobile Themes] cris_rowlands:
Yup. Tried it out on my HTC Touch (200mhz processor qvga screen) & it still ran quite well :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] nickschot:
Oh my! Youre running my theme :D:D :p. (and I didn't even notice untill halfway the video :o)

That app looks awesome! If there's still any plans for including my theme (Ill leave that to Livven) it might also need an option to select my white bottom icons (ok button, lock button, close button etc. not all have been reskinned yet though.. too busy).
[Windows Mobile Themes] af974:
Awesome...congratulations!:)

Since you are so genius , maybe you can try to let this app working with WM 6.5. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=343335 ....im desperate to find a way to have all windows backgrounds in black :D

Hi Livven,

It's a wonderful theme. I would be grateful if you would allow me to use your latest theme in my rom. I actually cooked in your previous theme (Livven SimpleGloss) and I am not aware that I have to ask permission for it until I saw it in post #1 of this thread.
[Windows Mobile Themes] botski:

[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Awesome :).

There are some themes which are black, but they have some issues with invisible text. Maybe I'll give it a try myself and make a black variation.

Yeah, I changed it recently. Go ahead and cook it in, just give due credit and include a link :).

If you have flashed it to WM 6.5, then yes. Use the 96dpi version as your device is QVGA (as Cris said).
[Windows Mobile Themes] af974:
Should be awesome, looking forward to it if you need something just let me know.

Thanks for you work and your time.
[Windows Mobile Themes] 3|Saint|5:
Hey Livven, awesome job on these themes. I really enjoy them and have been using them for a while now. I use them in my own cooked rom that I have not released to the public and was hoping that is okay with you.
[Windows Mobile Themes] programatix:

how to disable this?

look at these examples:

In Windows Today:

In Windows Menu:

In Settings Menu:

looks opacity difference...

i like the settings menu color.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Zahurtex:
Nicely done... but your included gtx theme contains black taskbar? I have change it to default white and it looks good. **Edit** Changed toolbar and it looks better.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
I'm experimeting now and will put up a testing version soon, so stay tuned!

Yeah :).

Unfortunately, this is not possible to change. The only solution to get consistent bars is to make them fully transparent, but that's probably not what you're looking for.

I'll include a white taskbar in the next version (probably when the Customizer app is finished).
[Windows Mobile Themes] omarjunior:
@Livven and get the bar 100% opacity? I do not want to make this transparent..

is the opposite :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] gauravbaadshah:
Bug in checkbox

Hi

I am a huge fan of your themes.

I noticed a bug in the latest version. The area around the rectangle in livven_checkbox is transparent but the arrow in livven_checkbox_blue comes out of the white rectangle. So when a cleared checkbox is checked and then unchecked the portion appearing outside the rectangle is not cleared (on clearing the checkbox).

Thanks in advance.
