HTC Homeplugin - How to edit white & grey text for: Home, Weather & Music Tabs?
Prior to posting this message, I have researched extensively on this site and Google for the answer but have not been successful. How can the white and grey text be changed to a different color in the HTC Homeplugin? For example, in the home tab, I am referring to the "carrier" name and "MM/DD/YY". In the weather tab, the white text for the current temperature vs. high= white and low= grey. The music tab initial text is white "Music Player" until you activate the media player and the text changes. I am currently using a white "tsk" and it makes it very hard to read the grey and white. I tried editing the "setup" XML file that is part of the initial HTC Homeplugin 6 tab version (I believe it's the latest one).
Any assistance on finding an answer to this inquiry will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
I have the same question about HTC Home customize (in Wizard forum): how to add more tabs, change categories as I want... but no one answer yet! Could you, the professional, please show to the newbie the way to do...
Up to now, I only can add my app from storage to 1 of 9 block in Laucher tab (by create a shortcut in Program folder) and to tray (by using PHM toy)...

As much I hate to say it, right now there is no option to change the color of the carrier and date. My only suggestion to you would be to use a darker tsk or use HHC to change the background of the home plugin to something darker like the original background. Maybe some day they will come up with a way to change those 2 features but it is not currently available.

As for the Home plugin, you can add up to 6 tabs using the home customizer or schaps advanced configuration tool. You can also pick and choose which tabs you want.
For example>> When you flash the TNT.1437 Rom, the default setup is 5 tabs(home, favorite contacts, weather, launcher, music) but if you don't want the weather, but instead you would rather have the profiles tab, you can easily change that or have all 6 tabs.
As far as the launcher goes, you can only have 9 apps there and I don't think anything is gonna change that. If you need a quick launch solution, take a look at cLaunch. It's free and lets you do the same thing as the home plugin, only not so stylishly. Or if that is not an option for you then use PHM Power Toys and use TrayLaunch and that is just as effective.
Another Option for you would be Wisbar Advance Desktop(sorry, not free). You are able to create multiple pages and flip through them as you please(if you use HTC Home Customizer to unlock the home plugin you will be able to use it with WAD), add shortcuts to the desktop, create full themes for your today screen... etc. It's a really nice app but like I mentioned above, It isn't freeware.
OK! That means there's no way to add more tabs (just home, favorite contacts, weather, launcher, music) and add more block to Launcher either!
In fact I dont need new theme or skin but I'll try Wisbar Advance Desktop 1.3.0.7.

As a long time member of this forum, I must ask you to remove this post. Whether or not you got it for free or not is entire on you but please do not offer warez here. Offering someone Wisbar Advance Desktop for free is still stealing from the author even if you received it for free.
OK, done, man!
hi i am newbie to the forum and i need help
i own a htc touch cruise with wm6
i have vision problems (low vision)
so i am looling for a theme that turns all backround to black color and any text in white
also in large text to fit my problem
if somebody knows everyting plz answer me
i d been search the web but nothing found
thanks
For themes u can download any themes online, and use them. test em and see which gives u the best background - font colour combination
for font size go to
Start > settings > system > Screen > Text Size tab
thx for your answer but i am looking for a theme
with larger text than the largerst supports my
device because i have vision problems as i said
and i couldnt find any theme looks like win xp
theme black on white [large]
Today themes usually only set the colour/picture of the background and the colour of the font.
So, you need to search for a windows mobile 6 all black theme. These usually have the font in white.
The size of the font used is usually set differently. In S-K Tools there is a section called Tune Up, where there is a sub section called font, and it seems that you can adjust the size of your font for various things like menu etc. I haven't tried this myself, but if I were you I would do a full backup first, using spb or sprite backup, just in case!
Good luck.
No matter what i do, I can't get my start menu to change with my theme in TF3D. If i turn off TF3D it changes with my theme, but otherwise, it's dark grey with black font (which is virtually impossible to read, and a green highlighter. i need the highlight to be blue and the font to be white. Every mod progam I've tried doesn't change the start menu in TF3D. Please Help.
By memory
OK, by memory its in the Registry:
[HKLM\Software\HTC\Enlargemenu]
Then:
ManilaCustomGrid - Relates to the lines between the sections
ManilaCustomHlDown - Relates to the bottom highlight colour
ManilaCustomHlUp - Relates to the top highlight colour
ManulaCustomPattern - Relates to the background
The first three above are dWords and are hex in the form of bbggrr. The fourth relates to a file which is tiled for the background of the start menu.
The values may not be exactly as above buy I think if you look in the registry you'll find them along these lines.

I'm not sure which forum to post this in but here goes. Does anyone know how to change the font color in TF3D? AT&T uses a white font on the home screen and a black font on the other screens and I can't read the black font very well, I need to change it to white. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advanced.
I would assume its in the TF3D config files located in the Windows Folder. It's been a while since I messed with TF3D since I don't like it much.
You might want to search and download a TF3D Configurator Program, which provides a nice little interface to select various options and automatically edits the config file.
Does anyone know of a utility that would allow you to change the background color of the start menu or programs menu on a windows mobile 6.1 smartphone?
Yeah you can!
Look here, you can change it to a picture! So if you make a one colour picture you can change the background colour of your menu!
