Menus' content turns white...

[droletbe]

I installed PPC2003 yesterday and since, twice, the menus (start menu, new menu, edit menu) content turned white (font not visible) but still working (if I click on the edit, the text appears under the stylus) :( .

A soft reboot brings back everyting ok. :?

Any idea why ? :?:

I run PPC 2003 A.30.09 ENG
Radio A.33.02
on a PW10B1, with a 256 Kb SD card, and
Storage: 12 Mb free
Programs: 6 Mb free

Hmm, I had the menu turning white problem, and I eventually worked out that it was from too many menu items being on the start menu so that it had to scroll. Removing unnecessary items from the start menu brings the theme colours back to the start menu background. Maybe if you have a theme running that has a white font, the font is disappearing onto the white background?

:cry:

Your comment made me realize one thing. The problem occured with the PPC 2003 Windows' default theme from the new installation just made available by ATT/Siemens (ie white font over a blue background) with the default Today's menu, and it's not the font that turned white, but the background (it was a white rectangle rather than the nice blue one I was expecting).

But once the problem came, it was also noticeable on the small Note or Contact edit menu (cut/paste...) where rather than having black or greyed font over a white background, everything was white.

As the upgrade was installed just 2 or 3 days ago (2004.02.01) and I was playing with it, reinstalling tools (and toys :D ), it's a bit hard to tell you the exact situation where it occurs.

Hi guys!

It happened to me while updating and tweaking my XDAII ROM.

I've found that the problem arises when switching themes: looks like the system remains with the font colour changed, even after returning to the original theme, making everything unreadable (although still workable).

I think this is an issue related to PPC 2003, since this is both undocumented and there is no way to change the font colour either.

This will change your Start Menu Font Colour to Black. WM2003 Inherits the font colour from the Today Scheme. Use a registry editor like PHM

Registry - Color Settings
Search exact match > Color

Value Name: SHColor
Value Data:
FF 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 DD DD DD 00 FF FF CC 00 00 3D 79 00 00 66 FF 00 30 80 CF 00 65 BB 26 00 00 33 99 00 FF FF FF 00 65 BB 26 00 65 BB 26 00 65 BB 26 00 05 24 99 00 4F 9A F6 00 FF FF FF 00 B4 CE F3 00 2A 2C C5 00 2A 2C C5 00 FF FF FF 00 00 33 99 00 00 66 FF 00 FF FF FF 00 C0 C0 C0 00 84 84 C3 00 FF 66 00 00 FF 66 00 00 FF FF FF 00 FF FF FF 00 00 00 00 00 FF FF FF 00 FF FF FF 00 FF FF FF 00 FF FF FF 00 FF FF FF 00 FF FF FF 00 FF FF FF 00 D1 E3 F7 00 FF FF FF 00 00 00 00 00 FF 00 00 00
