Hey Livven, is the first post already updated with the new taskbars? I think I'm still getting the old ones:confused: Or, is only the Livven Simply Gloss cabs going to change the colors? I only installed the Hero Toolbar and the color is still from the first new beta that you posted. Thanks.

Nevermind, I got it. But, I still can't get the Livven Simply Gloss cab to install. Says install unsuccessful as soon as I tap on the cab. The other cabs install fine so Im confused now.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Or not celebrating Christmas :p.

Which new taskbars? You mean the toolbars? They're included in the ZIP.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kwill:
My fault, I meant the actual color themes. I can get the toolbars to install, but the cab that needs to be installed first (with all the colors) just wont install for me. And when I extract it using Alzip, I get a file was corrupted error (CRC) error. Think you could post just that cab please? Thanks.

edit** Got it to extract properly with WINRAR. Sorry and thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tito12:
Me too, mate ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] ezzie:
Ok...I've downloaded too many versions and i can't keep track..which one has the colored buttons when you "push" them?:confused:

also are you still planning on doing other colors?
[Windows Mobile Themes] srgudhka:
its the hero toolbar which is included in the zip.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ChrisXP27:
Ich hab einen fehler gefunden, und zwar sind bei den menüs diese weissen pfeile, (wo man runter und hoch scrollen kann) fehlerhaft, die werden an den ecken immer schwarz

ich hoffe du kannst das beheben
[Windows Mobile Themes] wuub:
can anyone upload to another share server... mediafire seems to be down ?

please

happy xmas
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Yeah, though they won't be seperate TSKs but CABs, so you'll have to soft-reset after changing the color (this makes it easier for me to update the themes).

Was meinst du genau? Die Pfeile selbst sind schwarz, der Hintergrund ist weiß. Kannst du einen Screenshot machen? Vielleicht hast du auch noch die Beta... (He noticed that the white menu scroll arrows are black in the corners, and I answered that the arrows themselves are black, but the background is white. Perhaps he still used the beta.)

___

EDIT: Seems MediaFire is down, so I added mirrors at the end of the first post.
[Windows Mobile Themes] wuub:
Thank you very much :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] hiperjp:
I've taked the same screenshots as you have in first post. I'm glad to help you. ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] janneman22:
love new rounded menu's :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] ChrisXP27:
da, diesen fehler habe ich,,,, siehst du diese schwarzen ecken?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Thanks, I linked to your post :)!

Yes, I see it now. And, to be honest, I don't know how to fix it, I have an idea, but I'm not sure and can't test directly, so it's be very appreciated if you or someone else with a (W)VGA device could help: Delete the registry value HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Menu\MenuDownArrowBackgroundThemeImageRightPadding, no need to soft-reset now, just open a menu where there are scroll-arrows (for example in file explorer) and see if the problem is solved; if not, I'm planning some more registry tweaks for the next version, hopefully these will fix this.

___

Anyway, updated with new SpecialGlow Selectors :D. Check OP.
[Windows Mobile Themes] hiperjp:
I've updated to special selectors, very good. ;)

I've deleted the registry key too. Result: nothing changed (See attached images and behavior's video). I also rebooted the phone, but it's the same result.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ChrisXP27:
vieleicht hilft es ja wenn du es anstatt weiss einfach black machst^^
[Windows Mobile Themes] acidbath5546:
Could you??

I love your work, and I am loving your newest editions :)

But could we get rid of the plain black top taskbar??

Could we get that the same gray as the bottom part?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Seems to be a transparency issue, so changing the color to black will still result in that weird behaviour... Hopefully it's fixed with the new version. Please report!

Done, check OP.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ezzie:
dude.......starting to have trouble keeping up with your updates!:p
[Windows Mobile Themes] wuub:
hi

seems like the 192dpi Black version doesn't have the button pressed down image

as they just flash in grey when pressed... they work fine in other colors.

++
[Windows Mobile Themes] acidbath5546:
Thank :)

yeah the black version is working correctly...

Thanks so so much for the New Taskbar gradient cab...Loving it!
[Windows Mobile Themes] ChrisXP27:
can i see a screenshot?^^
[Windows Mobile Themes] ChrisXP27:
Hab mal die neue Version geestet, also

Das roblem mit dem menü besteht immer noch, scheint so als währen die ecken transparent oder so, du solltest die grafik mach nachschauen ob sie die richtige grösse hat

Das Schwarze Theme funktioniert garnicht, alles bleibt grau, auch die Plain toolbar geht garnicht
[Windows Mobile Themes] acidbath5546:
typo....sorry...

Sorry....I meant to write I agree...the black version ISN'T working correctly...
[Windows Mobile Themes] ricarp:
Hello Livven, and hello everybody, I need your help, I will like to have the botttom bar as glossy and as black as the top bar.

is it possible?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] wuub:
the alert message box is also missing images à the bottom ;)

and unistallating the gradient taskbar leaves a nasty grey bar... seems that it loses transparency

great job anyways
[Windows Mobile Themes] janneman22:
You do it again:D. Your theme is the best;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] janneman22:
Would you fix this (checkbox)...Screenshot on attachment
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Yeah, fixed now.

Basically just a gradient, that's all. Anyway, I added a picture of it in the first post.

Hmm, the size is correct, I checked it so many times. But in the new version, I made the size intentionally incorrect, perhaps this works :p.

Fixed now, all the toolbars are working again.

Try the Hero Toolbar, it's more glossy.

Fixed as well.

The last fix for today :D.

People, sorry for yesterday's bad update. I renamed some files and it apparently confused me a bit. Please forgive me :cool:.
[Windows Mobile Themes] hskeik:
Hello Livven

as you see in the screenshots, the quality on WM 6.5 is not so beautiful..

any idea please ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] acidbath5546:
Have a small issue here..

if you look at the screenshot, in the pop up window, the top and bottom have a weird pixelated issue.

I dont like vertical or horizontal scrollbars, so I use advanced config and set them to zero...

Any ideas sir?

Thanks again for your hard work.
[Windows Mobile Themes] jquake:
oops...Thememaking is such a tough work.

[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Yes, WM 6.5 isn't as finger friendly as the new builds, but the quality of the themes are the same, or what do you mean?

That's been discussed already... anyway, I uploaded a new version, hopefully it's fixed now.

What do you mean with this :D?
[Windows Mobile Themes] acidbath5546:
Worked Great!

I just tried out the December 29th fix...

And can confirm it is perfect on WVGA..

Thanks for the quick reply and fix Livven :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] hiperjp:
Really, now it's fixed the menu issue. Please see attached image, Livven. ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] ricarp:
Thanks Livven, but I also want to have the bottom black and glossy as top, is it possible?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] steff195:
All working well on my Omnia.(WQVGA)

Two requests though:

1. I use the blue theme but I've noticed that the installing bar color is lighter than the blue glossy buttons of that theme. Can you make that blue a little darker to match the glossy buttons?... the actual is too washed away.

2. Another thing that kinda bothers me is the way the scroll arrows and the side bar look on my version. They are not too finger friendly, and I cannot push them, I have to manually scroll down every time to reach an option ... can you make'em a little wider?

Here's what I'm talking about:

Thank you very much for your hard work!;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] teorouge:
Thanks Livven, your themes are officially included in my own roms (not public, gonna credit if needed! :D ) as they keep getting better and better... fast info, can these buttons get skinned too? In the default MS Blue theme, they are skinned. Anyway, great job! Keep it up! ;)

EDIT: actually, that should be a build-related issue... don't know if you can skin those "as you wish". However, what about scrollbars skinning? This can be done, in the Classic Blue you get fancy scrollbars! XD
[Windows Mobile Themes] kitesforsale:
I starting to like this forum. Now if Tiger Woods can say out of trouble maybe I will get some work done.
[Windows Mobile Themes] yogeesharma:
Dear @Livven,

Please see that the fonts colors also be changed as per theme colour like this

thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] wuub:
sorry to say that on the Black version all the bugs are still present (on fresh install) :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
The new version has the toolbar a bit darker, hope that suits you. Or install the Plain Toolbar so it's completely black. I can't make every small request, sorry :o.

Changed that now.

I use the kinetic scrolling in menus, so the scroll arrows are just indicators. And the scrollbar is in reality three-quarters of the default width , which should not make a big difference. It looks so thin because of the custom image.

This theme is my style, and I don't like those ugly scrollbars :p.

Well, I don't like colored text. And I still can't figure out how to make it really black, even with the same registry values... seems to be a build-specific issue.

Which bugs exactly? And which resolution do you use? Everything seems to be fine for me.
[Windows Mobile Themes] wuub:
The glossy black in 192dpi

The bugs are the one I mentionned the other day

- Message box not complete

- Nos press down button image (grey highlight)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Hmm, you have to remove the old version manually (Livven SimpleGloss Theme, without the s), and then install the new one. Does that help?
[Windows Mobile Themes] wuub:
yep it helped.. Buttons seems to be ok

but the message box is still a bit funny
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Oh, my fault, it's fixed now :D. Only the 192dpi version, the other two are okay.
[Windows Mobile Themes] wuub:
ok livven everything is good now !

Thanks alot ... Beautiful work ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] 4D3:
Hi,

I think im going to throw a bit of a curve ball now!

I was wondering, if i used your cab in a sashimi install after flashing a rom, what registry settings would i need to import to have your simple gloss black theme set?

For those who done know sashimi it is an automated installer and the order it installs is cabs then reg files.

since these themes are all set through the registry there will be a set of keys that i can import so that on reboot after the install the theme will be selected already so there is no need for going through settings->home->etc

Thanks very much in advance.

MG
[Windows Mobile Themes] cyberbank:
BUG?

With fresh setup, wallpaper image does not appeared in QVGA version.
[Windows Mobile Themes] yogeesharma:
I am using any build since from last six months and the classic blue theme changes font colour to blue. Well i too dont like colored text.. but reading grey text in daylight is a real pain for eyes..At least a clear black will do 1000 times better..

Thanks for all what you do..
[Windows Mobile Themes] wuub:
No curved ball here at all... good point ;)

It's in HKCU/Microsoft/Softwares/Today/Skin

That contains the skin selection but other items like tabs, softkeys, sliders, checkbox, etc. are set in specific subkeys

ie : softkeys HKCU/Microsoft/Softwares/Today/SoftKeyBar

So normaly taking everything under today should be okay... but I could be wrong ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] 4D3:
Nice thanks!! Ill give that a go, if anyone has anything to add im all ears!!

Thanks for your help wuub

MG
[Windows Mobile Themes] steff195:
Hi Livven again!

Thanks for that mod I requested before!

Regardins that scrollbar arrow I was saying in my previous post, this is necessary in some apps and menus... take SKTools for example, when accessing the main menu one cannot use the scroll because the underneath option get scrolled not the menu ones. So I have to try harder to push the arrow in order to get to a bottom option. I think you understand what I mean.

Now, as you probably noticed from my previous screenshots I use the plain toolbar, I like it very much (without those buttons borders), but I was wondering if you could make that toolbar gradient or glossy, right now is too plain. ;) Let's say like in the hero toolbar from your screenshots...

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Just setting the key HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Skin to Windows\Livven SimpleGloss *color*.tsk is enough, as the TSK sets everything else automatically :).

I removed the wallpapers, but you can download them seperately now. Look in the first post.

Yeah, I think the same, but as I said, I don't know how to do it :(.

Ah, so it's weird behaviour of one single app. You can use the magnifier in this case, or fiddle with a stylus ;).

I guess you'll have to stick with it for now :p. I mean, it's not such a big deal, and I'll perhaps change it in the next version...
[Windows Mobile Themes] 4D3:
ok, brilliant, i have another one for you:

I have applied your theme, default black, and for some reason the highlight is still orange, which is the default for the rom im using, i was wondering how can i change the highlights to match your theme?

what reg setting do i need to change? I thought it was the:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Color] entries but im not having much luck!!

thanks for you help!

MG
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
I just checked the TSK, and it should be all right. If you want to know, the highlight is controlled by HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Color\ThemeValues (look for "50 50 50" in the black version).

Sometimes themes aren't set correctly, just try a soft-reset or re-apply it, hope that works.
[Windows Mobile Themes] 4D3:
Hi,

I tryed softreset and reapplying! nothing working! i dont suppose you could post a reg key so i can try and import that?

thanks

MG
[Windows Mobile Themes] 4D3:
Unfortunately this didnt work! but it did work when i imported the entire HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today key!

Hope that helps

MG
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Hmm, seems this is key just stores the selected theme but is not able to set it, actually :o.

And is the highlight color now fixed?

People... I wish you all a Happy New Year! Enjoy it!​
[Windows Mobile Themes] hizhonor:
Loaded the 128dpi version on my Samsung Epix the other night and things seem to be working great. Thanks!

I have noticed that the "yes"/"no" buttons in the confirmation box that pops up when deleting e-mail highlight in black only when pressing them. Not certain if that's intended or not. I was expecting it to be blue to be consistent with other button presses.

Also, I had a weird thing happen today. Reaching in my pocket for my phone this morning,the screen view was "double sized". The unlock slide button still moved, but there wasn't enough travel room to trigger the unlock screen in either direction. Ultimately, I had to yank the battery and let the phone reboot to reset things. It's been fine since and I've not been able to duplicate the event. One event doesn't make it a bug ... just thought I'd mention it.

I'll continue to play ...

Thanks again!

Steve
[Windows Mobile Themes] wuub:
I have a weird issue with the theme

I tried it on 2 different roms and get the same issue

It works ok with other theme like PureBlack3 or classic blue

So what it does is once theme is applied start menu and home items

kind drag along the screen leaving marks

I'm using latest 192dpi on a Diamond ... this happen what ever color scheme is picked

Here are a few screen shots :

Weird hey ?!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
I remember I had this before... but because of a Start_Menu_Background.png.

Did you have this issue before (with earlier versions)? Try to set another wallpaper, and tell me if it helps. Everything is normal on my Hermes.
[Windows Mobile Themes] wuub:
You know what Livven ?

You rock man !

Thank you ;)))
[Windows Mobile Themes] tdk55:
Big Thanks

I have been looking for this all week. Thanks Livven and keep up the nice work.
[Windows Mobile Themes] janneman22:
Can you make rounded edges like in themes wich are included in Shadowline Series. Thats so cool:cool::D
[Windows Mobile Themes] janneman22:
Are you busy;)?
[Windows Mobile Themes] 4D3:
You have barely waited 24 hours before asking again.

I hope for being Cheeky Livven ignores your request! Also if you want the shadowline features use the shadowline skin!

MG
[Windows Mobile Themes] :
Haven't checked this thread for ages...and wow!

The customizations are fantastic, and thanks for providing a gradient taskbar!
[Windows Mobile Themes] dirtytwo:
Hi livven,

I like it , Great work!!! :cool:
[Windows Mobile Themes] 03hdfatboy:
Thanks for the hard work :cool:
[Windows Mobile Themes] dyun_14:
Hello,

Im noob here..:) I would like to thank Livven for this great theme.. But I do have one issue. There is a missing icon in the messaging window.. Please see screenshot.. I tried the other colors and toolbar customizations from Livven but the problem is still there. I tried other themes from other creators but no issue such like this..

I am using omnia i900 with Ock's 23518 rom..

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
It's intended this way, so I hope it suits you. The other issue you had probably isn't related to this theme... ;)

Did it :D.

Odd, this works fine for me. Anyone else with this problem?
[Windows Mobile Themes] hizhonor:
Suits me perfectly fine. You've done an outstanding job with this theme. So far as the other weirdness mentioned, it hasn't happened again so I'm chalking it up to a nut loose on the keyboard.

Steve
[Windows Mobile Themes] :
I'm liking the update...
[Windows Mobile Themes] nickschot:
The rounded corners dont seem to work for me :S. Gives me all weird colors... Others work fine though.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Yeah, I noticed that too, but only after the update was released. Anyway, it's fixed now and there are some more changes. For full changelod and download check the OP (and follow the links).
[Windows Mobile Themes] nickschot:
Thank you very much! Love your themes. Will cook the new ones into my rom tomorrow :).
[Windows Mobile Themes] ChrisXP27:
nice update!!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] nickschot:
Oh one more thing. I think you forgot to include the glow selectors. As I have an older version of your theme (late 2009) which does have them.

Edit: How my rom looks with your theme

I love it! :)

Though it was necessary to add the black corners to my wallpaper for the rounded effect to work out because the bar is transparant on home screen and semi transparant on the start menu.
[Windows Mobile Themes] benko286:
@livven-I like your blue theme(rounded softkeys), but pop up menus are too big, can you please somehow reduce them?
[Windows Mobile Themes] nickschot:
There is a way to downsize the pop-up menu's with the registry (don salari uses it too in his roms) being:

Problem with these is that it also reduces the font size in the buttons on the toolbar on builds with the new bigger taskbar (com4/com5).

If anyone knows a way to just resize the pop-up menus. Please :).

edit: Also does anyone here knows how to change the default theme to for example this one (for cooking)? I tried to edit the registry key of the default theme but this doesnt seem to work.

@Livven: Whats that keyboard from the first post image?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Yeah, again I noticed it after the release but before your post :p. It's fixed, and they're called "Glass Selectors" now.

There are some registry values in the TSK for that, but their effects are very unpredictable, so I made a CAB with these only for (W)QVGA. I think I'll change it with the values you mentioned and make it for all resolutions in the next version.

We had that here already, it seems that registry value only displays the chosen theme but cannot set it :o. Import the whole registry part of the TSK you wish to use.

The default one from the COM8/6.5.3 (28008 and on) builds.
[Windows Mobile Themes] dinosaur3000:
great theme but for Jan16 version I get a big scrollbar than in the previous version I downloaded. I found it got the value 12 insteed of 9. Dont know in this Jan17 the value changed?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Yes, I accidentally took the values from the 192dpi CAB for the other CABs too, but this has been fixed with the 17JAN release :).
[Windows Mobile Themes] tito12:
Hey Livven

I just noticed on the QVGA themes, there are no backgrounds !?

I also opened the tsk files and they are empty :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] rdelsol:
Hi Livven, It works fine with my Touch2. Great Job!!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Yes, I removed the wallpapers because they are too big as I had to include them four times (for every color-TSK) to work. Because of this you can download them seperately from the OP ;).
[Windows Mobile Themes] tito12:
All right, I understand :)

BTW did you get my PM?
[Windows Mobile Themes] t3rm3y:
Hi., looks great, does it do a clean install? by that i mean, can i uninstall and it`ll remove everything without affecting the phones features / looks, as really REALLY hate doing hard resets and going through all the settings again.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tito12:
Yes, the cleanest install and uninstall :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] ebsbow:
Nice work Livven, really enjoying your theme and add-ons.
[Windows Mobile Themes] aussie_boi:
btw what are the addons exactly - taskbar icons on the left of the page 1 pics?
[Windows Mobile Themes] bigapp:
I can not download

I can not download and enjoy the great works. Can share in other place? Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
As already said, yes, this should cause no problems :).

Which icons do you mean? The customizations are for the selectors, taskbar itself, toolbar and softkeys, as you can see them on the screenshots. Just try it out :D.

Strange, it works for me, but anyway, I have added a mirror at MediaFire. See the download page.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ohhayo:
Thank you Livven, nice work.

Is it possible to change size of these two items in popup menu, to be a little bit bigger, they are too small?
[Windows Mobile Themes] rebels71:
cool

Livven amazing work, i900 works just well..keep up.:cool:
[Windows Mobile Themes] janneman22:
Nice update:D Like your themes

PS: can you make smaller screenshots, so you can make a grid. i hate scrolling;)

Edit: I can't find rounded Hero Toolbar. Make the rounded edges more round like in Shadowline's themes
[Windows Mobile Themes] teorouge:
Hi! I'm cooking your wonderful themes, but when I use the "base"+hero softkeys+hero taskbar rounded+hero toolbar rounded (they get to install in that precise order, btw) this what I'm getting... any idea please? And oh, selections colors are way too bright, can't even read what you select (that is, for green and red version, didn't try others).

Last thing, may we get these unskinned items (play, stop, resco buttons) skinned, somehow? Would be lovely! :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] abelrhd:
Thank you, a great job!!!!:D

Mod Edit: Removed full quote
[Windows Mobile Themes] 4D3:
Im waiting to hear this!!!

Give 1 reason, even a stupid one for quoting the entire first post?

MG
[Windows Mobile Themes] vua777:
really love this!
[Windows Mobile Themes] nickschot:
You should download the latest version of the theme. I think it got fixed in the 16th january release.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tikvah:
Your themes really add a nice touch to my ol' tilt.

Thanks much!
