I didn't see anything strange in your color registry... honestly I don't know how to fix that.

Only thing to do, but it will take a lot of ur time, is to try to change every value from FFFFFF (white) to 000000 (black) and see what happen. (but you should change them just 1 at a time, try it and then set it to original value... and so on)

Another option, you could try these oher black themes and let me know if the same happens:

[Windows Mobile Themes] patience88:
Thanx, but that didn't do the trick.

Can you please send me your color registry, so I can look into it?
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
Did u try any of the themes I linked? do they have the same SMS problem?

I'll send u my color registry when i get back home, but they look identical to yours I think...
[Windows Mobile Themes] patience88:
The background was also white, the text is a bit darker.

Can you make a test cab with black text?
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
the problem is, the text color is the same for SMS and menus... (at least on my phone), so if I make it black you won't be able to see any text in the popup menus.

just to confirm the above... with the test.tsk I linked u before (blue text), you had blue text on both SMS and popup menu, right?
[Windows Mobile Themes] patience88:
No, sms is blue & popup is black

edit. When writing the sms the screen is like see picture compose
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
mmm, that popup menu is not from WinMo... I guess it's some kind of HTC skinned sms application? maybe that's what causing the problem?

what about other popup menu in some other applications? like in Excel for example, as in my screenshots in first post
[Windows Mobile Themes] patience88:
pop up in excel looks like this
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
so it looks like in your ROM every popup menu is skinned by HTC or something...

so I'll make a test version with black text and see what happen (anyway I guess u'll have to keep the popup menus and sms with white background)

what's ur phone btw? maybe i can post in its subforum to see if it's the same for everyone...
[Windows Mobile Themes] patience88:
I've got a HTC Touch Pro (see sig)
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
I attach a test.tsk with black text for PopUp menus and sms text. So it could be usable only for people who get the white backgroound anyway (skinned by HTC maybe).

Can u try it and let me know?

also, are there any registry tweaks to disable the HTC popups on ur phone maybe?
[Windows Mobile Themes] patience88:
Hey thanx, now you're black theme works for me.

I don't know about any registry tweaks but I can inform with my ROM chef.

Let you now if I know more.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
Update first post with "fixed" (still not black background) version for HTC touchPro (or maybe any other htc phones using skinned popup menu and sms background)

Can u try it? http://www.4shared.com/file/243353659/1356fe92/Tacchan23_Black_65x_VGA_x_HTC_.html

Great theme and taskbar!!! Looks so nice on my Omnia2 thank you!
[Windows Mobile Themes] beerbaronstatic:
I'm loving the taskbar icons, but my only complaint is that the H symbol isn't blue like the 3G and edge icons (at least not on my phone)
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
I'm working on that but it will take some time (in the meantime, the older version of my black theme in my signature is for qvga too if u need)

I'd be happy if u cook it in ur italian rom:) (and also if u make an english version:P)

can u post a screenshot? also of 3G and Edge if u can
[Windows Mobile Themes] beerbaronstatic:
Sure! All I can get are H and E for you

Just noticed that after installing your Black Theme and Choosing the Dusk Version that in Opera the address field is white and you cannot see what's typed.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kwill:
Great new release on the themes tacchan! As usual, I'm wondering if you'll do a large version for the selectors as you did last time? Thanks very much and of course, loving the black theme.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
what version of Opera is that? I just installed Opera Mobile 10 and everything is fine there
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
what version of Opera is that? I just installed Opera Mobile 10 and everything is fine there

mmm, when data is not connected those icons should be red... they stay black also if u connect data?
[Windows Mobile Themes] beerbaronstatic:
theyre black if data is connected and disconnencted never blue like your images show
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
Done:) let me know if it works

tacchan23_Black_6.5.x_VGA_Large version with taller listview selectors (same size as ClassicBlue theme) for extreme finger-firendlyness and also bigger popup menu selector

they should be black when data is connected, red when disconnected and blue while connecting

actually I was planning to change the connected status to blue soon, but still I don't understand why the non-connected status is black for you°_°
[Windows Mobile Themes] BzeBwoi:
Pretty sure it is Opera 9.7 as found in Deepshing X5 Rom.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
Sorry I can't find a 9.7 version to test... also I'm not sure if I could fix it anyway (couse sadly each registry color in WM6.5 is used for a lot of different "kind" of text or background colors...)

Maybe u could try Opera 10? it's out of beta now, it's final release
[Windows Mobile Themes] kwill:
Man you're fast! Thanks much.
[Windows Mobile Themes] beerbaronstatic:
i see it flash blue while connecting. the big H/E/3G icon is red when i first boot then black when i get service. . im also using the blue clock mod so it ends up the only nonblue icon

pic 1 is not connected HSDPA, 2 is not connected edge, pic 3 is data connection connecting, pic 4 is connected HSDPA
[Windows Mobile Themes] kwill:
I get the white text in the address bar also on Opera 9.7.
[Windows Mobile Themes] BzeBwoi:
If I installed Opera 10, is there a way to make it take over as default(launch from internet tab)?
[Windows Mobile Themes] beerbaronstatic:
When you install it the install should prompt if you want to make it the default, if you hit yes it should take care of it (it did for me before the ROMs I use started including it)
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
Thanks for the screenshots.

Anyone else is having non connected data icons black?

awesome cool was looking for a transparent softkey bar ..great job

anychance you could make a vga transparent softkeys bar with this as the start

button

thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
I can make it but one question first.

Did u try my cab above? (transparent means no softkeybar image nor buttons)

is that ok with just changing the start icon?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kameirus:
hmmms when i installed your cab this is what it looks like after i rebooted

i have been trying to figure out how to make the softkeys transparent and was finding nothing ,then saw your update and installed it and it did what i had been looking to do
[Windows Mobile Themes] jorgepr13:
could you add pics of the softkeybars?... specially the transparent (with a colorful bg to notice the difference)..

edit: Kameirus posted the transparent... but about the others? (dont have to be the full pic.. like manila slider and softkeys)
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
the softkeybars, other than the transparent one, are exactly the same as the one in my theme (so you can see the screenshots there)

it's just the WM6.5.x softkeybar, not Manila slider or any other UI
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
here http://www.4shared.com/file/244836240/63661474/Tacchan23_SoftkeybarTransparen.html

[Windows Mobile Themes] beerbaronstatic:
Nobody else has the black H/E/3G icon issue in 6.5.x? anyone?

Also, tacchan, I tried a different taskbar mod just to see and the new one had a colored icon, so theres something not quite right

can u link me to the one u tried?

Can u tell me if the icon is the same for connected and non-connected Data?
[Windows Mobile Themes] beerbaronstatic:
I was messing around with reshack and tried to see if I could figure it out, it appears this file has the icons updated properly to work, although it seems to be giving me an unsigned cert error so I had to test by manually copying it into windows

I modifed E, 3G and H icons, didn't touch G as I never see it and can't really test it. Its not really a .zip, just the extension, and also its meant for the blue theme
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kameirus:
Brilliant works perfectly.. Thank you
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
To my understanding (and from what I can see on my phone):

- Data not connected: icons from tapres.192.dll (red icons in my taskbar)

- Data connected: icons from phcanoverbmp (black in my standard taskbar; blue in my future version of the BlueClock mod)

What I can't understand is why you don't get the red icons while Data is off and I'd like to know if it's the same for everyone else (on my Omnia2, I get the red icons when data is not connected)
[Windows Mobile Themes] beerbaronstatic:
Any idea when the future version of BlueClock is coming? Its kinda lame having one taskbar icon black where the others have the nice blue glow
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
I think I'll make the taskbar in 2 separete versions in the end... black and colored. It will take me some days at least sorry.

Could u check your registry for me?

HKCU\ControlPanle\Phone IconFil = tapres.dll

HKLM\ControlPanle\Phone RESDLL = tapres.dll

do u have any of those? in negative case, if u are confortable with it, could u change those values as above? (backup the old values and let me know them too) soft reset and try to see if there is some changes in the taskbar
[Windows Mobile Themes] beerbaronstatic:
both values are already there and have the same setting
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
Mmmm, if at least someone could give some feedback about their Data icons (connected and non connected) I could try to understand more how the whole thing works... or maybe it's just in my Omnia2 having different icons for Data non connected (tapres) and for Data connected (phcanoverbmp).

Anyway I'll do the full colored version tomorrow most likely.

I installed the 6.5 cab on my Verizon CDMA Touch Pro 2(Windows Mobile 6.5). The HTC Volume Control is now used instead of the old Windows one. This is the only cab I've tried from this thread where HTC is used instead of Windows. The only problem is now there is no speaker icon. None for ringer, vibrate, or silent. I tried uninstalling the taskbar and the CDMA fix and now I don't even have a speaker icon for my stock taskbar. I reinstalled the cab and HTC volume control is still working, but still no speaker icon. Any ideas?

Usefull Tools

ROMExtractor.zip a tool to extract ROM files: unzip and copy to ur phone; in the first field browse to and select the desired file; in the second field you need to manually write the destination folder and the name of the file to extract. (for example, to extract shellres.192.dll to storage card: \Storage Card\shellres.192.dll)
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
Can u try to copy the attached file (remove the

.2.1.1916.3532.zip

extension first) to your Windows folder and soft reset? (install the DuskGreen taskbar first)
[Windows Mobile Themes] grandmasattack:
I installed the DuskGreen taskbar cab from post #132(has HTC volume control but no speaker icon) and the CDMA fix. After the soft reset I put the file in my windows folders and did a soft reset. Nothing seems to have changed though. Volume control is HTC but there is no speaker icon.

I tried removing the dll file from the windows folder, installed the DuskGreen from post #143(shows speaker icon but not HTC volume control) and then put the dll file back in but it appears to have changed nothing either. There is a speaker icon now, but the volume control is back to windows.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
Can u unistall all old taskbar cabs, soft reset and then install the attached cab?
[Windows Mobile Themes] grandmasattack:
Sure. Do you want me to remove the dll you gave me from the windows folder too? And I'm running Windows 6.5 so is it all right to use this one since it says 6.5.x?

One more thing, do you want me to install the CDMA fix after the cab you supplied or does that not matter? And am I putting hte dll back into the windows folder after this install if I remove it?
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
No, if u on WM6.5 then use this attached file.

Unistall old taskbar cab; try to delete the dll I gave u before too (and don't put it back after installing new cab). And remove CDMA fix too just in case.
[Windows Mobile Themes] grandmasattack:
I uninstalled everything, deleted the dll and then installed the cab you gave me. Everything's the same. No speaker icon but still HTC volume control.

One of the cabs I've installed has messed with my stock taskbar as well. Ever since I installed either the one from post #143 or the HTC volume fix one from #132, I haven't had a speaker icon even when uninstalling everything. I also think it changed my battery icon. And after the last uninstall and deletion of the dll, it said Ev instead of 3g. I don't know if that was just my connection though. Your taskbar says 3g though.

Any suggestions? I appreciate all of the help so far.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
Mmm, I'm very sorry I don't know what to do anymore :(

The last cab uploaded has the correct version (same as ur original ROM) of HTCvolumecontrol.dll, so I really don't understand why the icons aren't showing up :(

No more idea, sorry again
[Windows Mobile Themes] grandmasattack:
Hey man no worries. My original dll probably got altered in some way installing all of these different versions. I'm sure it's nothing a hard reset won't fix. Haha

Could you give me the dll file that you used in the cab? I'll see if putting in my windows folder with no taskbar fixes anything.

I appreciate all of the help. You tried hard to fix it, and you worked fast. I was actually surprised at how helpful you were. It's rare you find people that nice. Thanks again.

Edit: I thought of another icon that could be replaced on the taskbar. The task manager tab thing. I am not sure if it is device specific or what, but with my Touch Pro 2 and my Touch Pro, it has been on there. It is in the upper right hand corner. I circled it in red.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
For sure you can fix it with a hard reset^^

The battery problem I think is related to the registry more than a dll (some problems during an install/uninstall).

About the Volume icon I really don't know... maybe if u Hard Reset, before reinstalling all ur apps, you could do some tests. Like installing just the last cab uploaded above and/or just the dll file (it's the same I uploaded before too, I just tried to make a cab in case there was some problems with installing the dll or certificates...).

Let me know:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] grandmasattack:
I'll work on it later. I don't feel like doing a hard reset right now. If I do, then I'll spend the rest of the night working on it and won't get anything else done.

What do you think about my idea from my post before? Would it be possible to replace that icon?
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
This user had a skinned task manager (I think it may be HTC task manager)

Hope he can answer how he skinned it (or where to download it^^)

EDIT: nvm, it wasn't HTC task manager but Showcase skinned for wm6.5 (the one I made in the first post is for wm6.5.x, so no icon in taskbar)

If you want to give it a try, it's here (never tried it myself, the wm6.5 version I mean): http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4036477&postcount=3

The original author of the Dusk theme also said the HTC task manager icon isn't skinnable... that's why he made it for Showcase
[Windows Mobile Themes] grandmasattack:
Thanks but I don't really like Showcase that much. It doesn't really even look bad so it isn't a big deal.
