Reg Hack: How to change System Colors

This information was found from ppc6700users.com and the mod mensaphone. I only take credit for placing it here


The following registry keys are to change the color of Fonts/Seperator Lines/Today Items etc.
*please contribute as to your experience with the following hacks - and if you discover any new values!

Following hacks are located in:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Color



Today Font Color

Add this line: Binary Value of "39" = 00 00 00 00

This changes the font color to black.

FF FF FF FF is white. It goes on and on. Experiment with whatever color you'd like.

Title Bar & Soft Key Menu
BaseHue (DWord) - I'm not sure what method MS uses, but 1-100 appears to be shades of gray.....very large numbers like 34583 appear to be random colors.

Today Screen Line Seperators
6 (Binary) - I found that CD CD CD 00 (i think it's RGB + Alpha) is a darker gray.

even and odd lines
16 & 37 (Binary) - This is the color that controls even and odd lines of the right color of the screens that have a gradient in the background....like in ActiveSync and Pics and Video.

even and odd lines
15 & 36 (Binary) - This is the color that controls even and odd lines of the left color of the screens that have a gradient background. (Combine this with 16 & 37 and you can do pretty cool effects)

Notification
13 & 14 (Binary) - This controls the gradient that appears on the notification dialogs (e.g. volume, email notifications, etc). 13 is the left color, 14 is the right color.

Balloon Notifications Font
27 - The color of the font that appears on the balloon notifications.


Tap & Hold Dots
40 (Binary) - The color of the tap & hold dots (aka the circle of dots when you hold down on the stylus.

Title Bar Font
9 (Binary) - Color of the title bar font.

Today Item Font
4 - Today item font color.

BaseHue value are 0-255 for grayscale, 256-495 for a colors from a hue scale (e.g. red to yellow to green, etc)

Off to work then I will experiment with them and see what does what.
