Start Menu Colors

[ivtec20]

Yeah, I ended up using the attached cab which added those registry items to both the enlarge start menu AND the task manager highlights. Originally, I thought it only changed the start menu highlight, but after a soft reset, the task manager highlight changed, as well.

Attached is for a dark blue highlight, but I'm guessing you can go back into the registry and change the colors at will. This cab does not change the other manila highlight or focus colors.

This doesn't work for me - I'm looking to change the hilight color on the Today screen (I don't use TFL3D), as well as the start menu and task manager. The dark_hilight.cab adds the registry entries, but that doesn't change the hilights, even after a soft reset.

As far as I can tell, the green color is part of the htc_black.tsk and I can't find a way to change it without changing the .tsk.

Is the original Sprint.tsk available for download anywhere handy? I've searched the forum and can't find it....

The following entries will affect the task manager:

HKCU\software\htc\taskmanager
"ManilaCustomHlDown" = Binary:XX XX XX XX
"ManilaCustomHlUp"=Binary: XX XX XX XX

The following will affect the Enlarged start menu:

HKLM\software\htc\EnlargeMenu
"ManilaCustomHlDown" = Binary:XX XX XX XX
"ManilaCustomHlUp" = Binary: XX XX XX XX

Note that these edits only worked when I added them as a binary entry, not a dword entry. Even though it says binary, you use standard hex code and make sure that it is in 4 pairs (add 00 at the end if you have to).

If these values already exist as dword, delete them and create new binary values with the same name

Hope this helps!

EDIT: The start menu changes should reflect immediately but the taxk manager will require a soft reset for the settings to take effect

dumb question but what would the code be for yellow?

This link gives hexadecimal values for a rainbow of colors:

Edit: and Yellow would be FFFF00
