Default Howto change default green selection color to grey?

Hi

Does anyone know what registry keys and values have to be changed to make the default green selection to grey?

Cheers,

TheWizzard

PS! I already did this:
________________________________________
Below registry changes will allow you to change the highlight color in the start menu and other windows from green to grey. Assumes you are running the HTC Black theme.

HKCU/software/microsoft/today/HTC Black.tsk
change "Color_Highlight" value to 77 77 77 00

HKLM/software/microsoft/color
change "33" and "34" values to 77 77 77 00
change "BaseHue" value to 160

Below registry change will change the dialpad highlight color from green to grey. Assumes you use the default Diamond dialer.

HKLM/software/HTC/PHONE
change "highlightColor" hex value to 777777

But this only changes all selections outside of the new TF3D2, not in TF3D itself. For instance, the green selection color if I want to change the time, is still in green.

Well, grey because, imho, that fits best with the HTC Black theme. But that might be personal.

You must change all the assotiated manilla files that are related to the highlight color. Go to the Touch HD forum and find a change the selected color cab to your liking that will do the trick for you the highlighter color manila files are the same for both phones so no conflict. but DO NOT try running a full theme from the HD as it will not work properly.

Unfortunately the dailer will not change with that fix tho as I am still looking into this myself the dialer on the Rhodium is being a bit stubborn to allow me to skin it fully.
DONATE IF YOU LIKE

This quote seems to indicate there may be a utility for some phones to do it for me. I hate the stock green but don't want to re-rom the entire phone just to get orange or other coloured highlights. I searched "change color cab" here and found only this thread.

Is there a Pro2 utility?

using ur registry will be too much just to change the color or your themes. why dont you use basehue much faster and better with multi selections. all you do is extract the folder and move the basehue.exe file to \windows\start menu folder and your good.

heres the file:

That changes very little... Most of the highlights are still green. I was excited... briefly.
