[XAP]Customizable Windows Phone 7 Accents (Themes) - HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps

How to Customize your Accent colours in your WP7'ed HD2 :
I take no credit for this !, I'm just sharing ! ((ORIGINAL THREAD))
Preface : You have to know how to deploy apps, look for it in WP7 OS forums (Or click here Thank you Myself11)
1-Your phone should be chevron unlocked to deploy the XAP.
2-Download the Attachment, extract it and deploy it into your HD2.
3-After installation, open Custom Theme and Fill in the box with The colour of your choice and choose a preset accent to replace . (I suggest Pink ? )
4-Hit install and go to settings and choose your new accent !
Notes :
*Do not delete the "FF" at the beginning of the box but put the code infront of it.
*You should not be on the preset accent you want to replace.
*The Accent you will replace will remain with the same name and the colour will be blank, don't worry this is normal.
*Once a default accent is modified it can't be restored with it's colour in the menu (maybe later ? )
*Click here for the colour picker .
*Or pick a colour from here : http://bit.ly/CoLoUrS (thanks Jemaho)

Click on "The colour of your choice" in the 3rd step.

Gonna stick my neck out here...
These 'tiles' are a visual disaster in my opinion. if you can amend the colour to any colour can this not be skinned to be a bit more appealing?

nice one but the loading points dont change (they stay on the "old color" which you overwrite)...maybe you know the reg key to change this, too

Photoshop is my guess.

For those who cannot choose, here's a lil' good site:
http://cloford.com/resources/colours/500col.htm

Here's another color picker site...very helpful for finding your exact colour

Actually on my side everything changes, even the loading dots.
Try to redo the steps with a different colour ?

I was able to run the xap on my phone and I changed the colour of the Pink and Magenta ones but when I select them in the theme manager they have not changed ... maybe it doesn't work on my phone.

First, you're in the wrong section . this is for HD2
But it should work on your phone, too.
Do you mean that when you're in the select menu you don't see the colour you chose ? or you mean after you changed the colour and you've already set it it doesn't show in the new colour at the main menu ?
Check the colour code you put, if it's wrong or missing one character the colour will not change (or change to something you don't want)

I am able to selet a colour and hit install... YAY... but when I actualy switch over to that theme it shows the original colour not what I changed it to. I'll re-check the colour code since I was going by memory from when I was a web developer but I am sure I got that right.
Oh and I should mention this message I got from the app:
"CustomTheme has been revoked by Microsoft. Please uninstall it."

I've told that the both colour name and on-menu colour won't change to yours, but when you apply it it will work .
About that message, maybe it has something to do with your phone being relocked ?

i'm guessing this isn't updated for Mango. It won't run on my HD2. It opens and immediately closes.

Do you have trouble installing other XAPS?
If you are on BTTF ROM, try sending DEV_UNLOCK_REMOVE.CAB then send DEV_UNLOCK.CAB from http://xboxmod.sylvester20007.com/cabs/tweak/All DEVICES/
Unless you did not do hard reset after upgrade to mango, as this unlocks the ROM.
If on another ROM you may need to chevron unlock it.
I hope this works for you so that you don't get too dizzy walking around

Of course it's totally undoable, since i've put the Default Theme of WM06. you can simply import it when u'll get tired of a black theme.
Enjoy,

Looks great! I'd love to try it but all fileshare websites are blocked here at work. Would someone be kind enough to post this file on xda's ftp site or to a non-sharing site?
Nadavi, I'm not sure I understand how you undo it once you want to go back to the default theme. Are you saying that you need to import the default theme onto your device the same way you import the black theme?

Yes, the default theme is included in the zip as well.
Thanks Nadavi. This is really cool.
P.S. Be sure to export your current theme before using this. The default theme that was included was not the one that was on my Tilt.
verry nice!
Thats it? .
Nice App, the theme needs a little tweaking thou. The highlighted tabs under SYSTEM, are the same color as the text.

Looks pretty awesome. Does this change the text and background for things like messaging as well? And is the uninstall clean?

yes and yes.
cant read the system messages.. that kinda sucks. thanks anyways.
I love the black theme! It looks awesome. However, some things are now unreadable. On my Tilt, my inbox is washed out, the message headers for text messages are gray on gray, editing outlook contacts is black on black, and highlighted tabs (as mentioned in a previous post) are white on white. Then there are other little problems like the dropdown arrow for select boxes being black on black. That's all I found before I switched back to my original colors.
It's probably a matter of tweaking the individual colors, but that's tough if you're not sure what does what because you have to soft reset to see what changed.
Does anyone have a black theme that is tweaked so that everything is legible? If you could export it and post it, I'd love to get my hands on that.
Nadavi, I'm tweaking your black theme to be HTC default gray, but I need a little help. What component controls the color of the selected tabs in the setting module? The text color is white and the tab is white. Thanks for your help.

Hopefully we'll see a fully usable black/gray theme soon in one place or another.
Hi guys, you can always download the most current version of UI Tweaker from my site. Glad to see the interest here...it's motivating me to work on the next minor update (WVGA and VGA support) soon. Also got some bugs to fix in TdyScheme Changer.
P.S: If anybody have some nice themes exported from any of the "sub-programs" in UI Tweaker and wish to share with the rest, you can send me an e-mail and I can probably post the files you exported from the applications on my site (of course with credits).
I installed it on Storage Card but for some reason the phone start in safe mode, tried to uninstall it but the phone still start in safe mode, what happened, help would be great.

"todaylife"-theme collection by bluemetalaxe

----------------------------------------
whats new ?:
- this is a nearly original wheee theme, all credits for Idea and look go to Ufufu and i use again the sticker icons, other grafics and background made by me. This theme has new topbar graphics and a new missed calls-icon that will come to snowwhite and free! theme with next update (This 3 sticker-iconsthemes use exactly the same xmls only the backgrounds are different)
----------------------------------------
I recommend to do this SETTINGS for your ppc:
(how to: open the xml or txt files with with "totalcommander", or on your PC with "windows Editor", make the following changes, choose "save" (NOT "save as.."), put xmls or txt files back in the theme folder of you PPC and restart todaylife.)
Edit the config.xml :
1. go down to "emaildefaultparam" and there you find:"freenet.de". Replace this with the name of your account.
2. go down to CalendarAction and set it to 1 (=default windows mobile Calendar) otherwise my settings open thumbcal !
3. go down to time format and change it to 12 or 24
4. go to SMS Action and set it to 0 if you don want to open pocketcm
5. you can do more changes (SMS Alarm settings/Lock-settings), they are explained in the xml !
6. change language in the appointments: open the portrait.xml and the landscape.xml . You will find this text:
<Today>Heute</Today>
<Tomorrow>Morgen</Tomorrow>
<AllDay>.....</AllDay>
<MultiDay>.....</MultiDay>
change this four words in this lines to any language
7. change the date format in both portrait.xml and landscape.xml: <Format>dddd, d. MMMM yyyy</Format>
8. add the name and path of you applications for the launcher in the "Applications.txt". Can be ".exe" or ".lnk" and works also with parameters.
9. To open with the launcher directly your favorite webside with you favorite browser:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2538839#post2538839
----------------------------------------------
FAQ:
1. what is this ?
- this are my qvga themes (also Landscape support) for the FAST FULLSCREEN Software/GUI "todayLife" made by DAZZLINGDAZ. Today life is a brilliant new Software like rltoday or batterystatus, but will get much more functions and is much easier to costumize: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407900
2. how to install and what additional software do i need ?
- you need nothing more. i works with wm 6.0 and wm 6.1 with NetFramework 2.0 or 3.5. And no need to install !!! unzip the folder put it on your phone and start the todaylife.exe. If you dont like it delete just the folder thats it.
3. What is working till now ? :
- not everything, test it, but i update this skin everytime that there are some new functions for you.
4. I´m having bugs/Problems/Ideas ?
- if you have a bug/Problem/Idea or want to modify my theme and dont know how: post it here, if its not running or you have a request to the programmer post it in the above thread.
5. Can you make this theme to VGA ?
- no sorry i cant, i don´t have the time and biggest Problem: i dont have a vga device for testing the graphics here. But todaylife works well with VGA.
6. I dont come out of some windows ?
- slide to the left side
NEW: MondayMorning-Theme for Samsung OMNIA PPCs made by BOBSBBQ: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418298
i was lazy so here is a preview with just the home tap of any theme, but you can see clearer now the difference (you can put all themes on your phone and choose your favorite)

Congratulations on your first skin for the todaylife engine! Very well done!!
thank you.
Let me say some addional words:
- credits for some of the used graphics (especially Backgrounds) go to steve jobs
- i use some freeware icons from RuizDesign and use their psd-file for creating own Icons. thank you
- and yes it looks like a iphone skin, and this should be so.
Hi Blue,
Congrats on the new thread. Unfortunately, it mean that I'll have to follow 2 threads instead of Daz's only. Oh well.....
Excellent work!
A pity you don't have a VGA device.
Hope somebody with free time on their hands can VGA-ize it.

nice work blue!
Congratulations, good work. Could you make a theme that will have more "HTC looks"? Something like HTC Home? Thanks again for this great theme.
this is actually a very nice theme i must say!
to this day ive never heard of "TodayLife", but i can guarantee u this..im gonna give it a try..
the theme looks good, not too heavy to dark or too bright..actually looks similar to a MS2.1 theme ive seen before lol
ill give it a run, and definitely will provide some feedback!
kudos to all who created the app and the skinners/artists!
I'm glad you keep on improving your skin. I've included the previous version in one of my custom rom. And I was waiting for a new one since BS can manage plugins.
Thank You!
Guys - to change a skin pack to a different resolution takes time!!! the icons may be too small for starters - BUT - you can change most of it yourself - simply by editing the portrait.xml and landscape.xml and making all the X and Y coordinates double - S(ize) attributes for things like the calendar can be doubled too
Example (this is from the xml and is for the bit that displays the current date)
<Date>
<P>1</P>
<X>90</X>
<Y>45</Y>
<Align>CENTRE</Align>
<R>200</R>
<G>0</G>
<B>200</B>
<S>10</S>
<Format>dddd d MMMM, yyyy</Format>
</Date>
To go VGA for this :
<Date>
<P>1</P>
<X>180</X>
<Y>90</Y>
<Align>CENTRE</Align>
<R>200</R>
<G>0</G>
<B>200</B>
<S>20</S>
<Format>dddd d MMMM, yyyy</Format>
</Date>
This doubles the xpos , ypos - and doubles the size of the font - it really is that simple!
thanks you very much , great work
one question
this is a great theme just a couple of questions
first off how do you unlock it,
second theres nothing on the music or programs tab how do i change this?
thanks
I am still developing the program - so it is correct that some tabs are empty - this is by design and allows for expansion as I develop.
Please read the development thread for more info.
The unlock sequence is 4 seperate guestures : ^, >, \/, <
Can someone post more screenshots. I can't see the original for some reason.
Also, is there a collection of themes for this new program yet?
Thanks!
By the way - apart form the skinners...it's just me developing LOL - so if you request something and it doesn't get done straight away - it's cause there isn't a large team of monkeys bashing keyboards....just me...and I, unfortunately, have to sleep sometimes (although very rarely)

i attach a preview of the vga version i have to make working something more..
buttons are ok now i must work beside text and fonts dimension maybe something cold work
When i click the speaker icon my screen darkens, but i dont get a volume control. I have to reset the phone to get out of it. Anyone else have this problem?
okay, thank you all:
but again some words:
- creating or ripping and fitting these graphics needs about 40 hours. so i will not and dont want to make a quick htc skin.
- everyone is welcome to create own themes.
- this is a thread is just for this theme/skin. if you want more functions, want to know how it works or have a technical problem or want a different Design please go to the thread of Dazzlingdazz, he is the brilliant programmer of the software.
- to unlock slide to top, then to right, then to bottom then to left.

[icons]WM 6.5 Black & Blue/Red/Green/Yellow/Orange/Purple/Grey Folder Sets [12/4/09]

[icons]WM 6.5 Black & Blue/Red/Green/Yellow/Orange/Purple/Grey Folder Sets [12/4/09]
Hello all,
Here's my little contribution to the community after having received so much from so many. I've been using these folder icons because I wanted something that went with my phone and I couldn't stand the default yellow ones.
If anyone wants something added to the set I'd be more than happy to do so, especially if they supply the icon to go on the folder

How-To
I recommend using one of several icon changing apps available at XDA. The one I currently use is JWMD's Icon Changer, and have used and liked Showaco's reSTART too.
CREDITS
The base folder icon came from the HydroPRO Icon Pack, which is floating around all over the net. Here's a link from my site if you just want to d/l it and not do all the searching. I got it from Vista Icons and it was written by mediaDesign at DeviantArt
Many of the other images I put on top of the folders are from the Alpha Dista Icon Pack, also floating around all over the net. Here's a quick link for that too. I got this from Vista Icons as well. It was written by Danial Flaco at Deviant Art.
The rest of the images were taken from various logos on the web, images I've come across, and stock WM 6.5 / ATT Tilt 2 icons.
Obviously, I make no claim to the original artwork and do not request any kind of credit (I only super-imposed the images I liked, after all) and I place no limits on what you do with this set. Feel free to use, distribute, alter, etc. etc. I'd suggest that if you are looking to sell any of it that you contact the artists listed above first
~Eric
Thanks! I love black & blue color schemes! All the themes I use are like that!
thank you very much, really nice
very nice..
Good selection. Thank you very much.

Hi wokwitme
In WM6.5 use reSTART by Showaco to reassign icons to folders. In this case image files must be placed in:
\Program Files\reSTART\icons\
In WM6.1 you need to convert icons into .ico files and then into a .dll library. once in a .dll library you place a link in the folder you wish to assign an icon to called icon.lnk. The shortcut of the icon.lnk file must point to the .dll library and the index number of the icon you want to be displayed.
There are better WM6.1 tutorials on the forum.
Hope that helps.
Cheers

Permission to use
Hi eknutson
I have nade an icon set of my own which I was on the point of releasing.
Unless they're copyrighted I'm going to use your blank folders as a template to make some more icons. Don't worry, I always attribute work I use.
If you'd like to support this, it would be great if you could send me a higher resolution source file. If you want a preview of what I plan to release please let me know & I'll PM it over to you.
Cheers

Hi eknutson
Excellent work, I like blue

I'm not sure if this was directed at me or what you're asking for here... The icons just go in a folder on the device of your choosing. I use "\My Documents\My Icons" for convenience.
To apply the icons for you would be very tough, a lot of people have their own layouts and organizations to folder structure. Unless you have the exact layout I have, automatically applying them wont work.
Did this address your question? Let me know, I'm happy to help any way I can

Far from a noob, but need some theming assistance...

Hi.
This thread was initially about changing the font colour which I have since achieved, but run in to a couple more issues that I can't seem to figure out. The image I've used for my notification area is set at 80% transparency in photoshop, but when viewed on the phone it's a solid image. I've tried creating a new image but get the same result.
I've used an image from my other theme which shows the transparency on my other theme but not this. I've used an image from another theme which in their screenshot shows transparency, but doesn't in mine. I thought it might be the services.jar, but having used the one from the other theme it's still the same, solid black on my phone, so I'm a little stumped?
I've also changed the stat_notify_sms image in contacts.apk, but it shows the default image when I get a message?
Like I said I'm not a noob, but could do with some pointers or suggestions?
Thanks

Thanks for the link, but I've still not managed to change it. Look at the image, to add code after the next instance of 00 00 1c puts me on the next line, when I do that I just get boot loops.
Sorted it, finally. I pulled each statusbar file from layout and went through them, so I've sorted the statusbar and the notification area. Could you point me in the direction of the operator text in the notification area?

You're right, I couldn't see for looking.
Thanks for the assist!
Need a touch more help, in my eagerness to change the font colour I've changed something but don't know what. The image I've used for the notification backdrop I've set at 80% transparency, but on the phone it's showing as a solid image? which obviously isn't the look I'm after.
Any help as always, will be much appreciated.

Yes, I've done the same thing I've done with other themes but for some reason it's not showing the transparency on the phone this time round...
Hi.
Had to to start from scratch due to Zdzihu releasing a beta2 for the X10, but this time round I'm having new trouble, I've edited the files but my operator text and clock is still showing black text. Can someone take a look at my files, I've checked and double checked but still I've got black text. Any help would be much appreciated.
I've attached my statusbar xmls from layout and my smali files.

Thanks, but the reason I'm asking is because I have already changed my smali file to white, but see no change, where as before I did, and I've changed my files in res/layout too, and while my notifications are white, the carrier remains gray, and can't figure out why it worked before but isn't doing now.
Thanks for the link, but doesn't really help me understand what the problem is now.

Sorry, i thought point 3 might have helped.
You could try applying the original framework, see if changes apply, then re-applying your mod again.
I resolved a similar issue a few days back with that method, seems it just needed a kick up the arse.

That's why I've uploaded the files hoping some could take a look because I've changed every file like I did before, but the clock and the carrier text refuses to change, and don't really want to start from scratch for a third time.
As far as i know from cooking themes for dell streak, the rom itself needs to be set to allow transparent status bar etc... i presume you're working on the x10? If so to set the rom you're bootloader would have to be unlocked to customise a deoxidised rom, then you can have transparent built into themes. Please correct me if I'm wrong, its info i have read and hopefully will help you too

Hi.
I'm not trying to make the statusbar transparent, I'm trying to make the statusbar font white, but what worked for me before just isn't working now and I can't figure it out. Any one who checks the files I've uploaded can see they have all been edited accordingly but the font colour just wont change.
The rom I'm trying mod is in beta stage 2, and the reason I'm having to start again is because the services.jar has changed from beta 1, and having changed the only instance of 0x100 in StatusBarIcon.smali, nothing is changing, so think I maybe missing something, but need a theming pro to take a look and point out what that might be. I've followed stericsons guide, I've watched TheFXNs vid, I've read dullys link, none of which are of any help with this issue, because I know I've edited what needs editing, but still stuck with black font in the statusbar.
There's a $10 or £5 donation for anyone who helps resolve this as I'm past the point of frustration now.

Credits @cambunch for his work.
I'm not claiming I did this theme completely on my own, I created this Theme for my personal use, but I also want to share it with you guys.
Also thank you @cambunch for the help you gave me in PMs.
Tutorial/Download:
1. Go to the Theme Store, then under the section "Different landscapes of city" scroll all the way to the right, then click on the "Urban" Theme, download and also apply it.
2. Flash the .zip down below (you can also manually move all the apks inside to their destination in /data/app and correct the permissions, but that's a lot more work)
You can also use FlashFire (instead of a custom recovery) for the flash process. (Knox won't be triggered, stays at 0x0)

3. If you want to, you can also flash the Stock Touchwiz Icons afterwards:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952614039
4. Done, enjoy :good:
Bugs:
Music App: Dropdown Unselected Category Text is black (non visible unless selected)
Video App: Title Names are black (non visible)
Wallpaper Chooser: Dropdown Unselected Category text is black (non visible unless selected)
Future additions/changes (no guarantees):
add Voice Recorder, S-Planner, DocumentViewer, Memo, Task Manager Theme
SystemUI black Notification background color
Change color of Headphone connected "damage" range
some micro detail changes + bug fixes
Any visual bug you encounter ON A SUPPORTED DEVICE (G920F or G925F), make a screenshot and post it here or via PM. Otherwise, no support at all from me and you will be ignored.
Great work my friend ! Donwload and installed as op said Really nice to have setting and quicksetting in black ! Awesome !
Will this work fine with the newly updated Urban 2.0 as the base? Or does it require Urban 1.0 ?

This looks excellent! Thanks for the great work. Quick question - is it safe to flash on G920T?

That's Long press home...the reboot menu, has black text on black background.
Can you invert this screen also for the sms conversations?
Thanks for the work!

I just saw that you don't use a compatible device (G920F/G925F), so no support from me. Reboot menu works perfectly on my device, you can also see it in the picture in OP.

Go in the SMS Settings, you can choose the background. Just choose a black picture.

Not sure if the Theme System has the capabilities for that. I will write it on my list though.
1. I have a Sprint GS6 (920P) is it supported?
2. What if we are already running the material design theme (which also uses the Urban theme to hack it). How would we go about installing then?
Thanks for this man!
Will this work on the Canadian 920W8 device? Also... I am not rooted nor do I have a custom recovery and I am not familiar with flashing (been away for a long time) so can I flash this theme at all?
Please advise.
Thanks,

1. I don't know. Try. The ZIP only overwrites some files in data/app and data/overlay, shouldn't brake any system functionality -> no bootloop possible
If the material design theme from @cambunch works for you, this does too.
2. You can flash over it. The memo app will stay material though.
