Default XDA-Developers Theme w/Cooked TMO 4.01.16 Menu font color

This petty annoyance has been bugging me for ages. When I use the XDA developers theme with a Cooked TMO 4.01.16 rom the font color for menu items is white.

The lack of contrast between the white letters and tan background makes it unreadable.

Anyone know how to change the font color for the menu items??

I know its petty but...

This has been bugging me too. There may be a registry entry somewhere that we can change. I once restored the entire registry to it's original state (WM2003 default theme), and although the background was not changed to the WM03 default theme, the menu font changed from white to black. It makes me think that whatever registry entry was changed wasn't just pointing to a different .TSK file, but actually changed parameters of the theme (namely the font color). Anyone have any more information on this?

Default registry settings for the start menu font

Basically, what I've done is go in to the hklm/software/MS/color and set the key name of 39 ff ff ff ff

and there you go. the start menu color is now black

You can use the TKCreater found at http://www.funnysnake.com/. This allows you to change various parameters for your theme... very useful..

Default That's pure genius

Thanks for the fix.

hklm/software/MS/color then insert the key name of 39 ff ff ff ff

Worked perfectly for me.

I used PHM Registry editor to insert that setting without trouble.

TKCreater looks like a usefull application too

Thanks
