AFAIK it's not a manila file, it's in the TSK theme file.

You can change this with ThemeGenCE (http://pagespro-orange.fr/BenThon/IndexEn/IndexEn.htm) but be warned that the program will not handle the HTC Black theme file so you will need to start from scratch.

as far as i know the enlarged start menu will always turn gray when TF3D is enabled. the background can be changed to transparent or what ever but will only be effective with TF3D disabled.

if you disable TF3D i think the default is transparent and should show your today background as its background

It is not in the theme, because when I de-activate the enlarge start menu,then the background is the theme picture.

so it must be in the TF3d, But which file contains the image or has the color?

I have also inspected the Enlarge Start Menu Package and could not find any thing to change the background color.

its a .png file

look in registry for

HKLM\Software\HTC\EnlargeMenu\ManilaCustomTexture

it contains the path to the file (should be \Windows\stBackImage.png)

just replace it with your own

If you disable tf3d and change the today picture then the start menu background will change to the today background.

But once Tf3d is active then the start menu background is back to grey again.

ThemeGenCE (http://pagespro-orange.fr/BenThon/IndexEn/IndexEn.htm) version 2.5 does not handle HTC Black theme because there is a redondant image file in the theme :

stwater.jpg

mixed with


tdywater_480_640.gif
tdywater_640_480.gif
stwater_480_640.gif
stwater_640_480.gif

I have handle this in my beta version...

the instructions above about changing the registy key to point to your own file is the proper way to do this, the one step that was left out was to reboot. A reboot is a must!. I just setup mine by changing HKLM\Software\HTC\EnlargeMenu\ManilaCustomTexture
and rebooting teh device. Now I have the same image on teh start menu even with tf3d turned on. REBOOT!
