It is a combination of registry tweak and going to ahandy website for selecting the color you want....So first, you will need some registry software (I use PHM)

First, go to the registry and navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\EnlargeMenu

Pick a color here: http://www.2createawebsite.com/build...colorgenerator

Copy the Hex code and place it for the following keys. Make sure you have HEXIDECIMAL selected!

"ManilaCustomHlDown"=dword: (hexadecimal)
"ManilaCustomHlUp"=dword: (hexadecimal)

I have n issue if the color starts with a ), it comes out a little squirrely. But the other colors work!

Anyhow, hope this is handy.

I figued this with the Dark Highlights.cab....I monitored the change it did to the registry and change the hex color of Yellow to Grey....So, I just decided to get my OWN color!

I am using the HTC green for now...it is color 178227...
Did this change modify the unread count on the mail tab for you also, so that it's no longer a yellow circle? Could you post some screenshots?

Sounded good, so I tried it, but couldn't get it to work right. As the attached screenshot shows, the highlight bar in WM in general changed to the specified color (I tried your selection of 178227). However, the highlight selection in TF3D remained the Sprint yellow, as you can see in the background which is on the Home tab. Are you sure you didn't make any other modification? And yes, I did do a SR after making the change...
