Black Bars in themes !

ThemeGenCE doesn't make the bars black...

No ! It is not ThemeGenCE which is unable to make Black bars.

For gray level, Basehue is from 0 to 239.

If you put BaseHue = 160 in a TSK (theoretically pure black), Windows Mobile when it installs the theme changes the BaseHue to 137.

You have to tweak the registry after the theme is installed by tweaking the registry (HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Color\BaseHue) :
  • - Making a cab with 160 for BaseHue and run it.
  • - Use a registry tweaker.
  • - Or use ThemeGenCE and go in the tab WM5, BaseHue & DPI, (make sure that before this you are connected with ActiveSync !), check the checkbox "Interaction with PDA". Click on the gray scale and move the mouse while button down and you see BaseHue changing nearly in direct. If you want to keep the BaseHue value you choose then uncheck the "Restore" checkbox....
Nevertheless, if you do a "Soft Reset" BaseHue is changed to 137.

From my constatations, with a TSK you have :
  • - Any value from 0 to 239 for BaseHue in the TSK gives after theme installed : BaseHue = 137
    - Any value of Black in color 5 (and BaseHue not defined) gives after theme installed : BaseHue = 137
After theme installed, if you change Basehue in the registry, you can choose any value from 0 to 239 for a gray level.
