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
Hi guys do U know if it's possible to change the default black "New" menu color on the bottom left corner?
I'd like to change it from black to white 8)
It changes a registry key. HUD color is being reset every time Home Screen settings are changed.
Use "grayscale" mode and select the darkest color to get black HUD!
Under Start-> Programs and Start-> Settings, is it possible to change from a white background with black text to a black background with white text?
Resolved... UITweaker did what I wanted.
Move along
Nothing to see here
I flash a black theme on my note 3 SM-N900 and it's really great and awesome
the only problem is the black font color on pop up buttons ( like when you hit restart or shutdown in power menu you see "Yes" and "No" in color black)
since all buttons in the new theme is black I want to change the button's font color to white like the rest of the phone.
I appreciate it if anybody could help me
thanks.
