[Q] Registry values for Accent colors - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just wondering if it is possible to enter a HEX value for the keys located at:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Themes\0\Accents]
The values are strange, like 4283063863 for the "0" accent (which is Green). I dont know how this translates into the 0xFF4A53E7 HEX value that I see listed along with it.
Can someone explain this? I just want to be able to enter a specific value here. What do those numbers mean? I don't want to just enter a HEX value here and have it screw everything up.
OR, are there any XAP's that will let me enter a HEX value in for Accents?
I have a Samsung Focus.

Ok, I've found a XAP that lets me enter a HEX value (CustomTheme), but it doesn't work. I choose the Accent I want to replace, then enter the HEX value, press Install, it goes YEAH!......but doesn't do anything.

What I do is, on my PC, Start Menu, Run, Type in Regedit, hit ok. Navigate to any folder of your choice. In right plane, right click, New, DWORD (32-bit), Enter the hex value & hit ok. Decimaal value shows in (). Delete the new value when done.

Thank you, do I enter it as (for black as an example) 000000 or FF000000 or #000000 or #FF000000 when creating the DWORD?
EDIT: Figured it out. Thanks for your help.

Also, there's the trusty old Windows calculator. Switch to hex mode, enter desired value and switch back to decimal.

sorry to bring this up again. Do I enter the Hex value (eg FFFF0097) in registry editor or do I enter the corresponding Dec number (4294901911)? I would like to change the Accent Mango which is way too bright on my phone.

never mind, just figured out that I have to enter the Dec values in Theme\0\ and Theme\1\.
now I got the right Mango color.

Change Softkey mapping (How to?)

Hi all,
I am wondering how to change the 4 soft key mapping in order to affect them another program.
This is because the 2 softkey are beginning to break themselve and I would liek to affect the 2 other softkey to do the same (i.e. affect them "Contact" and "start")... see the picture.
I already have some registry trick:
(HKCU\Software\Microsoft
Create a key named 'Home' in here ,and then another key named 'Keys', and then ANOTHER key named '113'.
First Value: 'Default'
Value Data: The text you would like on the key ... (GPC on sample screenshot)
Second value: 'Open'
Value data = "PATH OF EXE or LNK FILE" <--- example is "\Windows\tmail.exe" (it is important to enclose them in quotes)
There is no need to restart device. Just click on the right soft key, press the Home button, and then you'll see the change!)
However i'd like to know what would be the number of the 4 softkey on my QTEK 8310. Anyone know the kay mapping of this device?
Moreover, I'd like to know how "start menu" is launched by the left softkey (what exe is this in the /windows folder?)
Thanks a lot

Quick keys (digits) now letters.

now I have no quick keys from digits, but only letters. I do not know like one can move this again. Hangs it maybe together with any other installed program?
some any ideas?
In the Registry, goto:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell
*press left softkey (values)
Change the DWORD value as follows:
HasKeyBoard = 0 (for numbers)
HasKeyBoard = 1 (for letters)
*a soft reset is not needed. but, in case it doesn't change anything automatically, a soft reset wouldn't hurt.
thanks to greatbal for this tip
Just delete all Sony-Ericsson phones from BT devices list.
Hello,
thank you very much! Now I have the HotKeys(Digits) again
Is it a bug with Sony-Ericson?
This is the bug of WinMobile, maybe.

Can´t change registry values

Hi,
I wanted to change some values e.g.
Turn off startup aninmation and sound: HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\HTC\HTCAnimation\ -> rename both “StartupGif” and “StartupWav” to other names
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Tried this with "CeRegEditor" http://ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl/index.php?lang=en, but it says always "Write error", as if the registry is protected somehow.
Is there a trick to change the values? Where is my mistake?
Christian
Try a different editor like PHM Reg Editor.
With this prog it works. thx
just a side note. Keep in mind that sometimes some registry edits don't stick if you just do a soft reset via the soft-reset hole on the bottom of the device. Its best to Hold the power button and completely power down the device and then turn it back on.

Left Soft key Hack

I performed the below hack:
1) Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Key\112 using any Registry Editor.
2) Tap on the Default string to open it up and change the value data to eg: Message.
3) Tap on the Open string to open it up and change the value data to Messaging.exe.
4) Reset your Phone or remove the battery to finalize the change.
I want to change it back and cannot remember what it was originally.
What do I need to put where it says Messages on the default string?
What do I need to put where it say Messaging.exe on the open string?
Thanks in advance for your time.
