[SOLVED] Changing Font Color in Enlarged Start Menu

I need some help from the 100 lb brains lurking in this forum. First off, I've tried to research this answer. I've looked for three days and I still haven't found the answer. Hopefully someone can help.
I've successfully installed the theme posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430174&page=1
Everything works great; however, when I enable the "Enlarged Start Menu", the font color for the start menu is black and the background is too.
What I want to do is change the FONT COLOR in the Enlarged Start Menu from black to white. Does anyone know how to do this? I've searched this site and Google, but I've been unsucessful so far. Thanks in advance.

The solution is actually very simple. Using your favorite registry editor (on your PPC), navigate to:
HKLM\Software\HTC\EnlargeMenu
You should see a DWORD there titled: ManiliaCustomText
(If it's not there, create it)
Now for the DWord data, enter the desired color in EITHER decimal OR Hex format (my registry editor allows me to select either). For example, if I wanted the text in the Enlarged Start Menu to be white, I'd enter the following information:
DWord Data (DECIMAL): 16777215
DWord Data (HEX): FFFFFF
Hope this helps....

Many thnx for the solution!
How do you know the decimal codes?? Where can I find them.. just in case I have to change the font back to black..
Greetz!

cudos to you for this!
btw black has 0 decimal code

Change Largemenu highlight color

Hi can someone help me with the regisrty key to change the Largemenu highlight color to dark red. I already did a search and found one for only the regular start menu, but i have the large menu and it doesnt work on there..

Refer to this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2577119&postcount=750

How do you change the start menu Highlight color

In the start menu in list or grid view is there a reg entrie to change the menu highlight color? not the text highlight but the actual bar as you scroll down. It is blue now and would like it to be red. I am using the 3vo 11/25/09 rom. I want my topbar to stay black and just change the menu highlight color.

Well due to lack of response and my lack of patience it forced me to go digging and I figured it out. Thanks for motivating me.

Great. Good on you.
Would you like to share?
There may be others that have a similar issue in the future.

You need to edit (on your PC) the theme installed on your PPC.

Is it possible to change Softkey on Start Menu?

Hello,
As the title says, is it possible to change the soft key "Lock" to "Back"?
I think it is more natural to have "Back" button here.
how can I make the change?
I think there must be a registry hack to do this, and I have searched through the forums, but I have not found a solution yet.
I disabled Sense, but this "Lock" button does not go away, so, I suppose this may not be a registry hack of Sense, but it is rather WM6.5.
Can someone shed some light on my problem? Thank you.

I like new Sms better
1. Go to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\\Manila key in your registry
2. If you don't have a String entry called LandscapeMenuRSKPath, add it.
3. Edit the value of LandscapeMenuRSKPath to read: \windows\tmail.exe
4. If you don't have a String entry called LandscapeMenuRSKText, add it.
5. Edit the LandscapeMenuRSKText value to read: New SMS
6. If you don't have a string called LandscapeMenuRSKArguments, add it.
7. Edit the value of LandscapeMenuRSKArguments to read: -service "SMS" -to ""

Thanks, but I am talking about Start Menu of WM6.5 (screen with icons in a hexgonal arrangement). On this screen there is a soft key "Lock", and I would like to change it to "Back", if possible...
