How do you change the color from the text on the today screen, my appointments are in white on a white background.
In the registry go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Color\4. Change the value to "00 00 00 00" for black or "00 00 FF 00" for blue. I try more colors without problems. I use FF FF 80 00 for yellow. this is well seen for quite a light background (photo)
notice: modify this registry key with memaid was weird. I try then total commander and there was no problem.

Try this:
http://www.colorpicker.com/
Copy the color from the upper text box, remove # sign and add "00".
If you want to understand what it means you can take a look here:
http://web.njit.edu/~kevin/rgb.txt.html
http://cloford.com/resources/colours/500col.htm
The first three groups of numbers (00 00 00) are standing for RGB (red green blue) in hexadecimal.
where can I find the registery using TCM? Thanks in advance

Using iPaq sometime back, I liked that red colored dots of the (TAP & HOLD). But with iMate it is by default BLUE. Here's a way whereby you can hack the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Color. Create new BINARY with a value Name 40 and have it valued to: 00 00 00 00 for Black, FF FF FF 00 for White, FE 00 00 00 for Red and 00 00 FE 00 for Blue.
Have fun.. 8)
re : Change the Tap & Hold Dots Color
i have tried, and work fine.
good job, cyber-mate
THANKS A LOT !!!!!
Hi,
Is it possible to change the today screen text colour? I have just changed my background to a dark image and can not see the text that is on the today screen (because the text is black on a black background). Is it possible to do this without messing about with the registry?
Thanks.

Yes it is, but u have to make changes in the registry using a reg. editor (resco registry?)
go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE --> SOFTWARE --> Microsoft --> and edit the binary value n° 4.
When the key isn't there, u have to create a new binary value, name=4
some colors:
00 00 00 00 = Black
FF 00 00 00 = Red
00 FF 00 00 = Green
FF FF 00 00 = Yellow
00 00 FF 00 = Blue
FF 00 FF 00 = Purple
00 FF FF 00 = Light green
FF FF FF 00 = White
Or use a theme editor or cetuner?

Microsoft have a "Today Theme Generator" for the Pocket PC 2002 that allows you to create a theme that will allow you to change the font colours.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/downloads/themegenerator.mspx
This also works on Pocket PC 2003.
Not sure if that is of use to you, but there is no messing with the registry if you can use that.

Try tweaks2k2 very good porgrams for hacking the registry
cheers
Just got my Qtek 9100 today and I tried to tweak the date/time display on the top right corner of the display, ie. go to shell and create binary value TBOpt 13 00 00 00. And unfortunately... the time is fine, but the date is in BOLD format, so I couldn't see the year. That is, it looks like this:
25/11/0
18:05
-> only 0 in year part, 5 is missing. Any1 how to do it properly? Pls show me. thnx ^^
I've been searching for 2 days, but nothing so far. I think Universal users have this problem too.
spb pocket pc tips & tricks
Have you guys tried spb pocket pc tips & tricks? This will perform this tweak for you, although the value mentioned TBOpt 13 00 00 00 is the same on my magician.
I deleted the key TBOpt from HKLM/software/msft/shell, and the time is still there in bold.
I tried tweaking with battery pack pro, but they only add the 13 00 00 00 value into the TBOpt registry.
I haven't seen a fix for the bold font yet. I tried the Universal registry tweak, which allowed me to change the date to a M/DD format that was not on the regional settings list.
The problem is it also made the OK button go away. Made it a bit difficult to close my programs, so back to the bold.
Why can´t any theme be black in top and bottom bar??
I make an black theme, but when I load it in to me 9100 it´s always light grey... I want it black!
Please help.!?
If you modify your theme with a cab editor,you just need to modify a value :
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Color\
Modify value 5 (REG_BINARY) to hexa 00 00 00 00 (Black).
You can also look at this wiki page : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WindowsMobile5Colors

You could also send post your theme.
I'll modify it.

Could you post a very basic theme that uses registry key 5 to get the black bars?
I just tried again - and just setting key 5 does absolutely nothing on my Qtek 9100.
Here's what I did...
Opened PHM Regedit
Went to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Color
Added a new Binary value labeled "5"
Set value to "00 00 00 00"
.. waited a while so that the registry could be written away ..
Performed a soft reset
.. waited for the PPC to start up ..
Top and Bottom bars are blue.
Opened PHM Regedit
Went to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Color
Checked for Binary value labeled "5" - it's there, and set to "00 00 00 00"
So.. no luck with that registry setting here :|
I can only get purely black bars using:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Theme.tsk::Color_SoftkeyFlatCenter = 00 00 00 00
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Theme.tsk::Color_TitleFlatCenter = 00 00 00 00
Where Theme.tsk is my theme's name.

I have had this issue with a number of WM phones in the past and the only way I managed to sort it out was by doing what is quoted above.
Mr Frog
I solved it by registry
Thanks
To solve this, All one need to do is to first disable the TouchWiz UI from settings and then turn off the display of info from regular windows mobile settings.
same issue
I have Samsung Omnia i8000 (with Windows mobile 6.5). I have same issue as engwas. All replies in this thread are solving showing Owner information in today screen. (I had tried it all, no luck).
I want to disable showing owner information window when I unlock phone or turn phone on.
When I bought phone, no Owner Information was shown when unlocking.
After I had set Owner information in Settings -> General Tab -> Owner Information -> Identification, Owner information window started to appear after unlocking or turnning phone on...
Has somebody solved this issue? Where can I disable showing this information?"
Why not remove this informations ? If you do it, it will disappear

Why don't you share for all ?
In WM6.1, Under Owner Information it has Option "when the device is turned on, display:"
- Identification
- Notes
If let it blank, it is not showed up however in WM6.5
There is not have the Option Tab, only Identification and Note Tab
So, in Registry it may contains a key to control that option
But I cann't find what it is ? who know that ?
After few days, I have found the solution to show and/or disable the My Info screen at power up before lockscreen or normal screen show up.
Thanks to this Blog http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7498413&postID=1731934624225103946
this trick apply to WM6.5.x only
Under Registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Owner
Open key [Owner] and [Owner notes] under Binary
[
00 00 00 00 .....00 00 00 00
00 00 00 00 .....00 00 00 00
...............
00 00 00 00 .....00 00 00 00
]
check the last 2nd bit (red), THEN
- set to 00 => to disable My Info screen (it is same as set Identification under Option Tab of Owner Information in WM6 or WM6.1)
- set to 01 or 08 in order to show up My Info at startup or power up screen before show up Lockscreen.
