When I changed the theme from my MDA II from T-Mobile to Windows_Default and back to T-Mobile, I noticed two things:
- Start menu suddenly is transparent (see-thru)
- As the menu-items are in white text (and the underlying T-Mobile today screen is too), I can hardly read them anymore.
Any clue how to change the appearance of the start menu??
well when you make a skin you deside what picture you want on the background and on the startmenu if the same picture are chosen both places it will look as if the menu is transparent
you can use a skin maker to change the skin if you like
Thanks for the suggestions.
Maybe my question was unclear: I did not create any new skin. Just chose another Theme in Settings/Today and then changed it back.
Before I did this, the start menu was not transparent OR the menu items where in an different colour than white.
I just wanna be able to ga back to the original T-Mobile Theme

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I noticed this too, the T-Mobile theme initially has black font color in it's Start Menu, but after changing the theme, the Start Menu font color will stay white forever. And for some reason you cannot alter the start menu text color directly.
If I remember correctly, there ought to be a registry key where you can set the text color for Start Menu items, but I'm not sure...
the default start menu colour in 2003 is white
and the default start menu colour in 2002 is black
if the skin dont active change the startmenu colour it will be default
work around
1 change the skin so it makes the text colour different from default
2 use another skin

Here it will explain how to alter the registry so you can change the start menu text color to whatever color you fancy ^O^[/img]
Fixed it!!
Thanks for the solution.
I getting as handy in modifying the registry as I am on my laptop . . . :lol:
you probably have a background image now?
The way I choose my startmenu background color and/or image =
make a (small) bmp with only the color you want.
then open this bmp file with resco explorer.
when image is viewed press 'menu'.
and then press 'set as background'
At least works for me with my Touch Pro, it won't change the TouchFlo3d background, but it will change the Startmenu background.
To change the startmenu text color go into registry and edit the following:
HKLocalMachine -> Software -> Microsoft -> Color ->
Binary Value 39 = Startmenu Text Color
white = FF FF FF 00
Black = 50 50 50 00 (i think)
cheers
I would like to change system colors and other font specs (like chnage from black font to white,add shadow etc :roll: . Where in the registry are the settings for fonts and what do they mean?
I recommend CETuner and Tweaks2k for this kind of stuff. Not sure where they are in registry though!

I have searched high and low for a way to change the font colour on my TF3D2 home screen.
My background is a light colour and the font is white, making it difficult to see calendar events. I would like to make the font dark blue or black.
Some of the "Black Font" cabs have caused problems, but this is probably because there are for TF3D not TF3D2.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
ive done the same thing, ive been looking for a while now, i cant find anything
Hi
I was wondering how I can change the font color in the start menu?
My current font color makes text almost unreadable in the start menu.
I found a solution describing a registry fix using color code 39, but that is not working in Windows Mobile 6.5.5
Anyone with some great tips?
I've also have been looking for a way to do this. I have a very light background, and it doesn't blend well with the font color.

and scroll down!
I know, a question I really should be able to work out. Sorry.
I can see how to change the background of the folder, but not the colour of the font. Problem is, the font is white and I have a white background - makes it hard to see
