hi everyone, this question is more about developing, but I can't post there now because i'm new.
I'd like to write an app (using the new WP7 RootToolsSDK from heathcliff74) that changes the accent color, just like Dave Amenta's "accent changer".
But I'd like that my app also can change the accent color on the phone, after you have selected it; just like the one on the settings on the phone.
This because now if I want to change Blue, for example, I have to change the blue accent color, then Settings->theme, select another, then reselect blu.
When I change the value of the key "CurrentAccent", the native apps already opened (including the menù) doesn't changes the color (of course they don't know something changes). For example, if I open Messages (with every instance closed), the accent color is changed!
Anyone knows if there is something that I can do about?
for real no one knows something about?
same problem
wondering if you ever fixed that issue?
the start screen needs some kind of refresh function call that happens when you go through Settings/Themes and select the color in the list. I cannot find what function gets called, I also looked at the WP7RootToolsSDK.RegistryKey.RefreshKey() function, but it is not documented so not sure how to use it or if it will help.
anyway if you ever found a workaround, I would be grateful for your help!

is there a way to change the irritating yellow sprint colors to something less obtrusive?
I did read somewhere where someone was able to change it but was unable to find it.
There is, I have it but cannot paste onto this answer.
Search for Blue Focus Highlight, either on here or PPC Geeks. There are actually several colors, I just chose this one.
Hey,
This might be a very stupid question, but I have no idea about how to change the clock text color into #F24400.
They used a 8 nummered color-code (#FFFFFFFF) instead of the usual 6, but when I change it, I always get a standard blue color. I looked all over the internet, but couln't find the answer.
Hope you guys can help me...
No one, wants to change the text colours? No one knows 'how to' either?
edit: Oke, I was able to change it into a red colour by using '#FF0000FF'. So it is possible, but does anybody know a colour-code list for 8 characters?
On this site there are a few

Thanks!
O, it's so simple. Just the normal colour code with 'FF' behind it.
Why didn't I come up with that. I tried adding a '00' or a '0' in front and a '0' in the back...
But anyway, now I know how it works.
To any developers who may know :
Any way to edit the registry or any other manner to remove the title of the tile? So I could just have a picture of the phone instead of the "AT&T" underneath it, or just have the date on the Calendar tile. I know its the calendar, I don't need the word "calendar" on there.
Or instead of removing it, maybe the color of the title could be changed to match the tile background color, "hiding" it instead.
Thanks.
Interesting question, but I don't know of a way to do this for built-in tiles. There's a place or two in the registry which might hold the title of the Phone tile, but I'd be careful (as in, take a full backup first) about poking any of them as some are connected to things that break the phone in really nasty ways if messed with (DeviceTargetingInfo, I'm looking at you...).
Hi Folks,
I'm new to Windows Mobile. Sorry if it has already been asked. I search it but haven't find it though. I wonder is there any way to change in Back ground. I'm using Ansar WM 7.5. In option there is only light and dark. Is there any way to put a picture there or change the color to blue of orange.
Its Windows Phone, and no that's not possible!

if you have ansars ROM i think it has an registry editor, you can edit the registry entries in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > ControlPanel > Themes > 0 White theme or > 1 Black theme. select lets say 0 > tap on BaseThemeColor (thats the background behind the tiles)> and change "Value data" from #FFFFFF to #FF**** (any hex color code you want) just search on the internet an hex color code table or use the colors free app in the marketplace where you can select an color in an RGB spectrum and then see the hex code, it is only 6 letters long like 7a3b32 but DONT forget to enter the first two FF before the #. because if you dont enter the first two FF the device will don display anything and you can not revert it back if you change your accents for example to EE7a3b32 < that doesnt work and you must then hard reset you device to get it back but you loose all your data, FF7a3b32 is right. and if the color dont change after you exit the registry app restart your device then it should display!
i have tried to edit the accent color without the two FF before the hex code, because FF means full saturation, no opacity, AA is something like 100% opacity, i tried to enter DD something like 60-70% opacity but my device has nothing to display and i coulndt enter anymore my settings, i can not change the accent, because the registry for colors here work only with FF. the only exception is the one code at the bottom in the themes folder it is for the transparent tab in the people hub, and there you can only add something like AA
Yes a feature that MS apperantly thinks we don't need anymore on Windows Phone nor Windows 8, well at least on Windows 8 you can choose some cheesy pre-installed crapy ones but the opption in Windows Phone is gone especially with the Large tilels in WP8 comming
Maybe they will bring it back in Windows Phone 9 or something. (hopefully).
Hi. Any idea if it's possible to change what colour android decides a contact should be when they don't have a picture associated?
It seems completely random but I'd rather have people who I SMS a lot NOT be bright pink but can't find any way to change it in contacts or Google Messenger
Any ideas? Thanks
Well I deleted the contact(s) and re-added them and they got a new random colour...
Not the best solution for changing stuff...ho hum
Have you tried simply adding and removing contact pictures ?
The colors seems to be set per contact but changed to match the dominant color of a picture (if set)

I tried this but it didn't seem to work, the colors remained the same. Instead I uninstalled the app, changed all the relevant contact pics that I wanted changed in messenger to just solid color images of the new color I wanted, re-installed and opened the app, and all the changes I wanted were done. After that I changed the contact pics back to normal and this fix appears to have worked. I'm pretty sure it's most important that you have to open up the app at least once upon re-installing before changing your contacts' pics back, that way the app gets stuck in the colors you want. Anyway sorry if I'm repeating anyone else, just thought I'd offer my two cents. And of course besides this shortcoming it's still a really good app.
Latest version of messenger added color change for each conversation.
Still remains the contact as of in itself.
The varying colors of the contacts is not random on my phone (Galaxy S5).
Each time I add a contact it selects the next color in the sequence...
Blue, Green, Orange, Orange
Blue, Green, Orange, Orange...
It just looks untidy in the Contacts list, and I see no way of changing it - apart from adding a contact a few times until it's the color you want, and deleting the unwanted ones. You could also create some simple color pictures to assign to each profile picture (if you don't have their photo)
