particularly for txt messaging, the default windows messaging is so white and bright. and cabs/ hacks for messaging to look sleeker and darkerthat would fit with the rest of the phone? white text on a black background still highlighted in green? any ideas? cabs? redundant posting?

not really looking for a new messaging app, just a changing of a few colors for the messaging app

I wanted this too, and have had some limited success with S-K Tools. I reverted because the color scheme change affects other elements, such as message list. It seems that some of the colors are not controlled by registry settings. They are part of the application. I don't like Vito SMS and would like to know if someone has a solution.

Edit: I essentially reversed the color pallet between black and white, in hopes that I wiould end up with white text on black background. It ended up creating problems w/ T9 and message lists.

I wouldn't mind having an app that allowed to change that. I do not enjoy opening up my messages only to be blinded in the dark

Yeah I'm hoping for a fix. It just doesn't flow well with the rest of the phone. Maybe some one else will chime in?
