ThemeGenCE V 2.5 - Preview WM6
ThemeGenCE version 2.5 has been recompiled with Delphi 2007 for Win 32 which allows to develop Vista compatible applications. ThemeGenCE stays compatible with earlier Windows versions.
Some minor bugs have been corrected.

This version now gives a new preview for the last Windows Mobile OS : WM6.

On the main form, there is a new button (on the right side in the middle) above the preview button already available in ThemeGenCE version 2.0. This button gives a preview for Windows Mobile 2002, 2003, WM5 et WM6, with a preview for "Today" and "Start" pages in portrait and landscape.
Below this button, you have the preview with "Skin" PDA choosen. WM5 or WM6 preview in the Skin PDA can be selected in the radiogroup (NB : this option is saved in a file for futher use).
Precisions about the algorithm for choosing Bars Hue (attempting to do the Microsoft algorithm) will be given in ThemeGenCE forum from CodePPC (also in english. "Poor english", sorry).
Soon...

Algorithm for choosing Bars Hue (upper and lower) with WM5 and WM6
Posted here : Forum ThemeGenCE CodePPC

Algorithm for choosing Bars Hue (upper and lower) with WM5 and WM6

Here is the method ThemeGenCE uses to attempt to simulate Microsoft algorithm for the choice of the upper and lower Bars Hue with WM5 and WM6.

Color 5 is the navigation bar color (Color 1).



With WM6 Bars are 3D. But if you define Specific keys like these one :
  • "Color_SoftkeyFlatCenter"
    "Color_TitleFlatCenter"
they become "flat". Thanks to Meschle , from forum.xda-developers.com, for this precision.

Black Bars in themes !
Quote:
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.

Themes Browser - BrowseThemeCE
I have uploaded a Windows Mobile Theme Browser which will maybe useful to skinners and allows to see your themes collection easily, without using a huge and more complicated program as ThemeGenCE.

Download : BrowseThemeCE

Here is the help :

BrowseThemeCE.exe (Version 1.0)

- Choose English version by clicking on the flag.
  • · At run, a new subfolder, BTExtractImg, in the same folder as the program.
    · A ListBox is filled with all Themes (Extension ‘.TSK’) found in the program folder.
    · Search folder may be changed by clicking on the Folder Selection button in the Toolbar.
    · By clicking on a theme in the ListBox, all Themes’ elements are extracted in BTExtractImg.
    · In this subfolder there are the 1 to 4 images of the theme, rebuilt INF file, built XML file and an INI file more synthetic and easier to understand.
    · Images are shown on the form (with theme specifications and the Hint shows image type - JPG, BMP, - and resolution). A click on images gives a real preview.
    · Evaluation of dominant hue in images by clicking on the « colors » button in the Toolbar.
    · Others theme specifications are shown on the form and may be seen in the 3 memos INF, XML and INI.
    · This program accepts « Drag and Drop » of a theme on the form. It also accepts option « Open with… ».
