Black Selection Cab
 

Not sure if this is the right place for this but then i couldn't really decide which forum to put this in lol. But anyway i'm looking for a cab or some type of registry edit that has black selection text instead of green. I'm not just referring to TF3D though. i also want black selections in programs, text, music and every other menu. i have searched and everything i have found just changes the selection text in TF3D and the start menu. Thanks in advance.

Edit: Found this cab and you can pretty much change the color of everything

Re: Black Selection Cab
 

I have Grey....and you could probably use these ideas to make it black.

Here is everything you will need. THIS IS ALL ASSUMING YOU HAVE A BLACK THEME!

The Cab is for TF3D....stop TF3D(settings->today)..install cab...restart TF3D

That will make your TF3D selections (calendar, call history, clock...etc) a dark grey.


Now here is the info for changing the selection color in the start menu etc..

HKCU/software/microsoft/today/HTC Black.tsk
change "Color_Highlight" value to 77 77 77 00

HKLM/software/microsoft/color
change "33" and "34" values to 77 77 77 00
change "BaseHue" value to 160


Below registry change will change the dialpad highlight color from green to grey. Assumes you use the default Diamond dialer.

HKLM/software/HTC/PHONE
change "highlightColor" hex value to 777777HKCU/software/microsoft/today/HTC Black.tsk
change "Color_Highlight" value to 77 77 77 00

HKLM/software/microsoft/color
change "33" and "34" values to 77 77 77 00
change "BaseHue" value to 160


Below registry change will change the dialpad highlight color from green to grey. Assumes you use the default Diamond dialer.

HKLM/software/HTC/PHONE
change "highlightColor" hex value to 777777



Now...if you use Large Start Menu...when you presst Start on your phone you may still have green selections...if you do then do this:

create there DWORD values in HKLM/Software/HTC/EnlargeMenu/ :
ManilaCustomHLUp and ManilaCustomHLDown, both with 00ababab hex value, that should change enlarge start menu to grey


There are a couple of threads on XDA for this:

Re: Black Selection Cab

Re: Black Selection Cab
 

Naw man....come on!! That sweater just isn't me! LOL

Re: Black Selection Cab
 

Do you guys have one that will select it blue?

Re: Black Selection Cab
 

fraid not but i do have red... have a feeling it will be asked for at some point so i might as well post it now.

enjoy

Re: Black Selection Cab
 

Here ya go! Follow the directions in the above post for blackselect!

Re: Black Selection Cab
 

Thanks but none of these cabs change the color of the selector in programs. If you click the start button and then click programs the selected icon is still green, or if i go into file explorer the selected file is still green. How do i change those colors.

Re: Black Selection Cab
 

I installed the cab just as instructed and I had the same problem. ^^

Re: Black Selection Cab
 

I see what your asking for, I think there was some confusion. I don't remember seeing this posted anywhere? I'm looking forward to a change from the bla green too...

Re: Black Selection Cab
 

Anyone have screenshots?

Re: Black Selection Cab
 

And if you want glossy bars to complement TF3D then download the attached and run the exe on the device. You will have glossy black bars. I have also included below an allblack.tsk Almost everything is all black. I have the highlighted as gray in menu's because you could not see the txt. =P

Enjoy!

Re: Black Selection Cab
 

The cabs are only for TF3D, they do not change the start menu or programs. You have to do the reg edits in the first post to change that part. Ive changed mine to red throughout, and ill post a screenshot in a few. Found this site if you are trying to go for any other color. Just ignore the # in the HEX and add 00 to the end of the value. http://www.2createawebsite.com/build/hex-colors.html

Re: Black Selection Cab
 

Just found this cab and you can change pretty much everything Enjoy :headbang:

Remember the thanks button if this was helpful :mrgreen:

Re: Black Selection Cab
 

UI tweaker does help in a pinch! Sometimes though it really can jack your tsk though. =)

Re: Black Selection Cab
 

i second this

Re: Black Selection Cab
 

check my post on page 2...there are 3

Re: Black Selection Cab
 

You are speaking about the enlarged start menu and the taskmanager. Those are reg tweaks..

HKLM\Software\HTC\EnlargeMenu
edit ManiliaCustomHlDown and ManilaCustomHlUp (you can vary the color degree to give it a gradient look by using two slightly off colors)

For the taskmanager edit
HKCU\Software\HTC\TaskManager
same two keys

Use this website and use the "access code" numbers rather than hex/decimal and you'll have the exact colors without error.

Re: Black Selection Cab
 

I am not reffering to the enlarged start menu. I am referring to menus and program selections. I found what i was looking for. The cab is updated on my first post. With this program you can change the color of pretty much everything.

Re: Black Selection Cab
 

Only if your carless and not paying attention to what your changing. This has helped me change every color i wanted with the exception to TF3D. There are other cabs out there for that.

Re: Black Selection Cab
 

Which selection in UI Tweaker changes that start menu highlight button exactly..I don't want to mess anything up.

Re: Black Selection Cab
 

Read eenimini's post above, you need to edit the reg for that.

Re: Black Selection Cab
 

Actually, no those edits don't fix the start menu highlight button I'm talking about. I messed with th UI Tweaker app today, but I can't figure which one is the highlight bar for the start menu. It certainly isn't called that, I know that for sure because I went through every option and tab.

Re: Black Selection Cab
 

That picture is tooo funny!!

Re: Black Selection Cab
 

check post #2. each reg edit is explained and they do change the highlight color.
