I don't know if anyone experienced this issue before, but my new Diamond was stuck on the align screen in a seeming infinite loop. The pointer would move from corner to corner perfectly, but it would just come back to the middle. Finally I used the "welcome.not" solution from the following page:

But, now my screen's not configured correctly.

I would suggest flashing to the STOCK rom, and then reflashing your ROM of choice. Most, if not all, of the strange problems are fixed by that.

Really, though, thanks again!

No problem. I'm happy to help. What was the registry setting that you needed to change?

It was actually two:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\SoftkeyBar:SoftkeyBa rThemeImage
went from \windows\black_softkeybar.png to \windows\softkeybar.png
and
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Taskbar:TaskBarTheme Image
went from \windows\black_taskbar.png to \windows\taskbar.png

Basically, just telling windows to load the GlssBlack theme's images for those two elements instead of the ones referenced by BlueDrop. As it turns out, I actually prefer to leave the softkeybar as the standard flat black and only gloss up the taskbar, so it all worked out. I can deal with one registry edit every time I flash. One of these days I may try to figure out how to incorporate that registry change into the theme itself...

i noticed that the new htc album is not in the rom, or kitchen... i installed the cab from xbmod but my phone got messed up...
any chance to get an oem or maybe a more compatible cab version?

[SOHKis]

that just may be the reason it wasn't included

Making the change in the theme is simply a matter of changing the file extension from .tsk to .cab, and opening it with WinCe Cabmanager. You can edit the registry settings there, save it, and reload that .tsk file.
