Help get rid of background in SMS - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

Hi
I loaded WM6, which was really simple thanks to the details instructions on this site.
Now I loaded a Theme which I like, but it has an annoying background when I view my sms's/mail (Inbox area - not within the actual item) and my contacts. How can I get rid of it?
(I can't attach a pic because the file attachment function doesn't seem to work? )

This is the background I'm trying to get rid of?

You'll need some system color changing utility, like SKTools, or UITweaker. Look for items called something like:
"list color left 1", "list color left 2", "list color right 1", "list color right 2"
or
"left of a gradient listview", "left of a gradient listview (interlalced)", "right of a gradient listview", "right of a gradient listview (interlalced)"
And set both left and both right colors to be equal to each other - then you'll have no horizontal nines, or at least close - then you'll still have horizontal lines, but they won't be as visible.
Of go to WM5 color registry tweaks in XDA wiki and change the colors in registry by hand.

Start menu transparency after theme change

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
Foun the topic:

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

Changed today screen to black, now cant read messaging text

Hey guys,
Just got my today screen all setup with a black setup (top and bottom bars as well), but for some reason the messaging window (outlook or texting) is full of a bunch of horizontal black and white bars unless the item is highlighted.
Anyone know whats up?
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!
sounds like a setting on the theme generator you use. lines are probably the same on the notes menu also.
there seems to be two colours used on the messaging/notes menu, full of horizontal lines. you should be able to change them on your theme generator, i could when i had the same problem after creting a theme.
change both settings (usually notes/ msg colour 1/ to the same colour, this will sort it.
Have a good look through the wiki, almost all colours are detailed there, or use a better theme editor.

Pardon my ignorance but what is the wiki?
What theme editor do you guys recommend?
Changing 36 to 37 fixed the CONTACTS background but not the Notes/Messaging

[Need] Today screen registry hacks

Hello there,
I'm in need for 2 reg hacks for the today screen.
1) Remove vertical scrollbars for an item that's bigger then the screen
I found a thread couple months ago but flashed my touch and need this done again and can't find it now. I remember only 1 item could have this setting.
2) How to remove that 1px horizontal seperator line between home screen items
Thank You
Found it
Well the first thing, how to disable scrollbars for an home item.
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Plugin's Name"
Change Type from 4 to 5 to remove bars
Now I just need to know how to remove the 1px solid line separators between items.
Anyone?
I was wondering the same thing and did tons of searches to get rid of the lines. The only thing I ended up doing was installing tweakUI and making the lines the same color as my background (or close to it). If you find something let me know too.
Anyone know the registry keys to change the color of standard today font?

Different text colors for today screen?

Is there an app, cab or regristy edit that I can use to make my text color on my today screen to black or blue? id like to change my wallpaper to the white diamond background but can't see my messages or calls icons.
you can use tweaks2k2 software to change your font color, hope that will be useful for you.
Try RC Mod for text & more...it's mem light & easy to use. There are cabs all over the forum...
try this:
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Color
"34"=hex:FF,FF,00,00
"35"=hex:00,00,FF,00
