How to change font color on the desktop and menu?

I came across the issue after ROM upgrade to T-mobile 1.60 (used to be O2 Asia 1.03). T-Mobile has nice gray background theme (default one), but when I tried to switch to some other theme (through settings->today) and back, all letters on the menu turned white and almost invisible on light gray background. Anyone knows where should I look for font colors in the registry (or maybe there is a Theme editor or something)?

There is a theme generator on Microsoft's Pocket PC page. This not only allows you to create your own themes from Jpegs, but it allows you to modify the colour ov virtually everything on your today screen, including font colour.

Hope that helps

fonts, skins, memory

1- how to change the fonts style on Today screen ? (or for all WM5)
2- how to change skins to Windows media and dial pad without installing any software (is there any way?)
3-what is the average memory "left" to have the PPC work smoothly without any slowdown or crash
i made those question that for some of you will be simple...just give a reply if you can...

1. Changing font style is not so straight forward (I assume you want to change the font not just the size - size is changed in settings\system\screen) - find the font you want and rename it tahoma.ttf and tahomabd.ttf and copy and paste into \windows directory on device using total commander or gsfinder file explorers, then soft reset.
You can also fiddle with the fonts with pocket tweak - enclosed
2. Media player skins - the skins are not software just files with images - see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=58398&highlight=
3. Dialers - try http://www.zombienexus.net/portal/ dialers are just images overwriting the default ones - so not really software.
p.s. when pocket tweak installs its found in settings not programs

thanks so much im going to have fun with my QTEK and skins

Help
I changed the font following your instruction but it seems just become messy LOL
I renamed the font i like and I used total commander to copy in windows....now the problem is the font I used cannot correctly shown on PPC and it seems to read Arabian....in addition dunno why the fonts affect only some menu not all im quite confused on whats going on

ok i fomratted and use Pocket tweak but it chages all the fonts Except the today screen...why?
thanks Giordano

lol - told you it was not easy - pocket tweak only changes some of the fonts so not good for total change. If you want everything in arabic - then you need to use an arabic rom. I had success changing tahoma font to georgia font using method described. Perhaps you will have to try a few different fonts to get a nice effect. Remember you will need normal and bold versions of the font to make the change.

Do you always have to use a third party program to change the font style in WM5??
What is the Font option in the Settings/System menu for??

Problems with themes and system colors

Hi All,
I have been maing new themes for my system using Themegence. I seem to be experiencing some problems. I searched for answers and only found one or 2 work arounds. My exact questions have not been asked:
1) What is the standard DPI to use for the theme?
2) When I make a theme using the standard theme option (first choice on the options tab) My theme seems to generate fine. All my color tweaks seem to take. But when I use the option for qvga portrait and landscape than the theme won't take my changes to the system colors. (ie, the navigation bar and system tray). It displays my theme but with the standard windows blue colors....yuck
3) What ever I do, in the program, I can't get the theme to change the color of the text for those 2 areas (nav bar and sys tray)
4) I want to change the base hue to a different grey scale value. But the program won't take may change for base hue either. (actually even tweaking the registry directly I can't get a different grey scale base hue. Although I can make it a different color all together)
I know that some of these colors can be changed in the registry, and that there are work arounds for some of the other issues. But I am not looking for work arounds. I want my theme to do everything that it should. In case I ever have to re start the theme, from a system reset, or just changing themes...I don't want to muck around to make it work...know what I mean.
Thanks

Start Menu Font Colour

Does anyone know how to change the start menu font colour to black?
I've tried searching but still can't find a solution. Tried RCMod but still can't change the font colour.
I found out that some manila files must be edited in order to change the font colour. If so, which file and what to be changed?

That xml is used to create the UI of sip settings not for keyboard layout.
