I'm using HTC Home Customizer/HTC home plugin. I want just a pure black background on my today screen. I tried selecting a pure black jpg using the today screen setting "Use this picture as the background." The background ended up just being light gray. Anyone know how to do this? I think I'm just being dumb.

Here is a completely black theme for u.
EDIT: Instruction - copy the unzipped theme into your windows directory, then go to settings/personal/today and the black theme should be there as a option. Select it and click ok.
thanks!

you are welcome
on a related note, I've been trying to make a black theme with the attached pic for a b/g, but using a theme creator and making the top and bottom bars black, also causing it to be a light grey.
I would use your theme, Mikulec, but i believe you would have white writing?
I've attached my theme as well.
Any chance of helping a newbie? Thanks!
edit: Checked yours, Mikulec, and you do have white writing that won't show up on mine, plus the bottom bar is still light grey? Or did I do something wrong?

I am using program called ThemeGenCE. There u can do almost everything. The problem was that this program is making the bottom and uper bars in another caller(when u set the bars black, the color is in reality black-grey). I used another program to make the bars completely black.
I dont know how can I help you, cause I dont know how u want the theme to look like. The problem is that your pic is white and black so u cant use black or white text.
I will gladly help if u need me. U can try the ThemeGenCE.

Black.zip didn't work
I just followed your instructions to create an all black background, but it didn't work. It only made the task and soft-key bars black.
I just want a simple black background.
Please advise.
Thanks.

No offense, but yes, you're being dumb.
Goto the "pictures and videos" application. select the photo you want, Menu > Set as Today Background, and set Transparency to 0%.

What ???????
If you read the post , it was not how do I set the background, it was please give me a black background that does not wash out to grey when set.
Which Mikulec did, 6 months ago.

Re-Read the original post. He says he's trying to set the today screen's picture and it's being greyed out when he sets it in the today (under settings) screen. In order to get a non-greyed out photo on your today screen, do what I wrote above. Also, learn to read sarcasm.
Black.zip solution response please
Could someone with a solution respond to my question about the use of the black.zip download to create an solid-black background in all windows (I recently installed hergs flip clock and landscape mode)?
I followed Mikulec's instructions and installed the black file, saw it listed in the Today screen, selected it, had auto reset, but the Today background didn't go to black.
Thanks.

V bar--- Awsome app, great menu, very fast
downfall ---- The right side is the wrong color unless you use the original windows mobile 5 home screen! We all know that most of use are running windows mobile 6 or dont use the simple blue homescreen
(ive already tried to make a new .bmp image, it doesnt work good at all.)
Magic Button --- I love the top bar icons. Great app
downfall -- The whole top of the screen is a different color! Thats ridiculous.
Pbar --- Easily the best menu.
downfall --- you have to start the program to use the app! Its not like vbar and magic button where you can access the menu from the top right of the screen
help me guys, i want a good task manager
I use Magic button as I love the simplicity of it. I do find the odd colors in WM6 weird, but have gotten used to it.
A lot of people swear by Wisbar. I put it on and it does look very cool, but its VERY different' than magic button and I didn't have time to try to figure it out. I'll probably give it a try again soon. But I'm not sure it does the active icons in the top bar like Magic Button (and I love that feature).
Have you tried InClose Mobile??

If you mean running program icons, it does.
I had no problem making vbar use bmps. I configured it to look like my WM6 theme. Maybe you could try it again?

What theme are you using? I can try to make it for you. I made mine by taking screenshots of the screen before installing vbar. I took one with no button, one with the "X" and one with the "OK". Use the blank for the background, then draw a small triangle on it for the context menu. The other two are self explanatory.
See the attached screenshots.
oh ok i see what you're saying. i didnt take any screen shots so i was just making a picture myself. I was using the green homescreen that comes with windows mobile 6. It even looked bad with the blue one.

I love vBar! And you can make it match whatever theme you are using:
Go to vBar Setup, click on "Show background image" and use the appropriate little menu bar piece - try this file, vbar Crossbow Turguoise.bmp, provided below - place it in \Windows.
If you are using a different Crossbow version, (for instance true WM6, that has the two-tone menu-bars), do a screen capture of your Today screen while vBar is disabled, then edit it in your favorite photo editor, cropping out just the upper right section of the screen, from the date over (be sure to get the whole bottom line of the menu bar). Name that little .bmp appropriately, copy it to \Windows, and then set it as the vBar background image, as above.
Try the file below before you go to a lot of trouble, and make sure that it works for you. Works for me! I like the "Cyclic Black Bars" theme, so I created a little .bmp so vBar will have the right background for that (also attached below).

Looks like you beat me to the reply by about half an hour, while I was composing my reply! I use Adobe Photoshop Elements to crop the little bits of my screen shot - what do you use?
Photoshop.
Does anyone have the stock image?
I can't find it.
The grey one with the HTC Logo in the bottom right corner
I checked in Windows folder and only found a plain grey with no logo
Looks like the stock background has a gradient to it
Can someone post the image up here if they have it?
Thanks

Hey guys,
I've got a brand new HTC Touch Diamond. On certain screens in particular the Contacts, Messaging, SMS or the screen to select the Avatar for farvourite People, there seems to be a colour gradient on the screen in that the right portion of my screen is towards the grey shade wherelse the left portion is whiter in colour. Is this part of the theme or a standard feature or is this a defect on my unit?
The thing is I don't get this issue on the 'Align Screen' screen which has a similar white background, nor do I get this gradient on Program and Settings menus.
Could someone please help me confirm?
Thanks.
Cheers.
*bump*
Pls help???
I called HTC regarding this issue and they told me it's just part of the graphics theme but I'm not entirely convinced though...
Thanks.

You could try taking a screenshot and copy that to your computer. If the gradient appears there then its a part of the graphics in the theme.. But if it does not appear on the screenshot on the pc. then you can consider it as a failure.
I checked contacts (touchflo) -> all people (left softkey), and yeah there's a slight gradient from white to a very very light grey. (Going from left to right)
Thanks so much for the great help guys..... I'll take a screenshot later just to confirm the issue....
A simple test is, go to settings > today,...and change theme to Windows Mobile Default / Green. See if the light grey change to fade blue / green?
I can confirm 99.9% is the theme....
it is normal....
crash74:
Thanks. Yes I've tried that before starting this thread. The gradient does follow the theme colour but I thought it was a backlight issue.. i.e. that portion of the screen not lit properly hence it appears darker regardless of the theme's colour.

then you fire up word mobile, and create a new document.
You should have a full white background......

Yes tried that.. I don't get the gradient on white pages such as the 'Align Screen' page, documents, IE, even the b/g of Programs and Settings looks perfect.
So it's safe to assume I don't have to send my unit back for warranty yeah? I just wanted to be sure before sticking my invisibleSHIELD on
btw, what screen/body protector are you using? I might have a spare invisibleSHIELD if you're interested.

That should be the theme issue....
you can try UITweaker,
go to TdyScheme Changer > change all the 4 list(left 1 & 2 + right 1 & 2) color to white...
cheers,...
I tried taking the a few screenshots and yes the gradient is there when viewed from the PC as well although less apparent. But yeah it's definitely the theme then.
When I was on the phone with HTC the girl also advised me to have my phone sent in to be checked... until I asked her "shouldn't you confirm this isn't normal before we proceed further"? lol

to a):
just go to settings---> today--->and get urself a wallpaper(not the wallpaper for the TF3D!), whole black one~

Hey everyone,
I've been looking for an answer to this question, but I can't find one anywhere, blah, blah, blah.
I am running Nova Launcher Prime 4.2.2 over the stock launcher on my N920A with Android 5.1.1. I have a wallpaper with a solid black background. It looks something like the first image below. You might not be able to see it on a monitor, but the problem is that across the bottom, something (I am assuming it's my stock launcher or theme service) is lightening my background. It is happening in front of where the dock would normally be. In order to highlight what the problem is, I took some screenshots and then used paint to color in my background. Since I am a first-time poster, I can't post links, but I can tell you that my screenshots are on i dot imgur dot com with the following file names (sorry for technically posting links...):
My home screen with Default theme: tEvYClN.jpg
My home screen with Default theme and the background colored white: i9wfuK7.jpg
Now here is what happens when I change the system theme to sd-Black
My home screen with sd-Black theme: T7tDb5N.jpg
My home screed with sd-Black theme and the background colored white: vpfYaE7.jpg
Here is one more view of what I see on my screen. iNH7n7t.jpg
So changing the theme adjusts the height of the color distortion at the bottom. and top I want to know how I can get rid of those bars altogether. I am sure that this bar on the bottom changes when I adjust the system theme and I have tried it with other wallpapers with the same result. I have done as much troubleshooting and narrowing down of the problem as I can. Any thoughts? Thank you all for your help!
