I just wanted to change the colour of the text on the today screen having read a few posts looks like a change in the registry. Don't particularly want to play around with registry. IS there an alternative method for idiots.

You can try different themes. Or make a theme yourself with a theme generator.
nay nay, just use something named "ui tweaker".....

Use a program to alter the theme. I forget the name of it, just Google it. Open the theme with the app and make the adjustment.
you can use ui tweaker: http://freewareppc.com/utilities/uitweaker.shtml
fantastic freeware app that works well. i'm using wm6.1 and it's flawless. there are 4 tabs to choose from for changing the colors. for your needs, i would think that the tab "system colors" or something like that will change the color of the bar you want. just remember that except for the today colors, you would have to peform a soft reset to enable the changes. also, you would need to practice a little to find out that the bar you're tweaking / changing colors is indeed the one you want. i often made mistakes in changing the notification bars and ended up changing the color of other areas.

Hi,
Does anyone know how to change the colour of the font in the email?
I used SK tools to change the menu and backgrounds into black with greyish letters. Everything looks very good except for my email.
The text is still black and on a black background you already now what's happening, I can't read my email.
Can I change the font colour of the email somewhere in HKLM or something manually???
I searched for hours but could not find it yet.
Cheers,
Arnold
no one knows how to change it?
I have the feeling it is rather impossible or extremely complicated...
Cheers,

I have been recently messing around with the color accents on my phone. So far I have managed to make a nice Black, Red, Silver theme. However I am stuck with one key I cannot seem to find.
I have successfully managed to change almost all the text to red using these keys:
HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\1\
ProgressBarBackground
TextNeutralColor80
TextNeutralColor75
TextNeutralColor60
TextNeutralColor30
TextNeutralColor20
TextNeutralColor
ContrastColor
However I cannot seem to find the White text that displays on Tiles nor can I find the color that represents the actualy TILE in the call log or textmessaging. I know they are two separate registry settings because using an OLD advanced config I can easily change the tile color to say Dark Blue however the actual text color in the call log and text message area will still be the normal blue. Which is because the old one did not know where the other keys were. So does anyone know of the entire full list of Registry Keys for editing text colors?
Would be cool to see screen shots of your customizations

Have you looked into the XAML files in \windows. There's a thread where someone mentioned these files are related to the themes/accents. The first 2 digits refer to the theme 00 & 01. The second 2 digits refers to the accent color. They somehow work with the registry values.
For more info, see this post.
Ok excellent. I will poke around in that particular file and see what changes what.
Being on an HTC I can easily overwrite in the windows directory so this should not be a problem.
As to a screen shot I will take a look at the new build of WDM and see if I can screenshot it.

Yes, WPDM lets you take screenshots. You must have the multitasking/dehydrate hack enabled though so it'll stay connected with TouchXperience running in the background when you change screens.
Unfortunately the values for what I am looking for is not in those XAML files. Apparently editing those only changes how apps read the accent colors and does not actually change the colors I am looking for.
The only colors I have left to change is one single value somewhere but I have done searches of the registry and through those Xaml files and they seem to not be there. :-/ It looks great right now, but would blend completely if I could just fix these last few.
I attached a few screens. You can see exactly where I still have a silver/grey text even though it should be red.

If I'm not mistaken some of the fonts are semi transparent, white with the black bg showing through. The first 2 digits are the alpha transparency value. I believe FF is solid where 00 is fully transparent. Another thought, is they look to be the same color of the button icon bar. Either way, looks nice.
I've tried lots of custom roms for the HD7 and nearly all have issues with text and the light theme.. Change your theme to "light" then open up Registry Editor and if you're met with white text and a white background then you have the same problem.. I know messing with theme settings in the registry is kinda dangerous if you dont know what you're doing, so I'm asking if anyone knows how to fix this problem? What registry values need changed and what color codes used?
thanks in advance..
Well, that's usually the dev that didn't cared about the light theme during development: As a dev, you can either set a static color (that's what a lot of do; here it's white) or use a dynamic foreground value that's changed according to the theme (eg. white for dark, black for light theme)
As far as I know, you can't do anything to fix it... but you can ask the dev to fix it, it's usually easily done...
Id like to know how I can keep my font colour white in text messages and emails after creating a custom theme colour. The search feature isnt available on UC browser so I cant find that app/ reg hack post.
