Any .cab to change color elements/palette to more Vogue-like?

The Vogue's home screen is essentially white on black (that is, white text on black background). And with all of the cooked ROMs, many applications, such as contacts, WMP, calculator, keypad/keyboard are all white on black.

The original WM color theme, unfortunately, is mostly black on white (black text, white background). The common ones I use are text message, Pocket Outlook, Notes, Pocket Word. They are all white on black. This changes the look of the device and brightness of the display which switching from home to these apps.

I am using the "ClassicBlack" theme to keep my home screen background all black. I know the color of all of the display objects can be changed via the registry, SK Tools allows one to change them individually.

I'd like to know if someone has developed a theme or .cab that modifies the registry to get mostly black on white on the WM applications.

Thanks!

Thank you. I will take a look.

Edit: It's a nice tool and allows many color palette changes. It does something very similar to SK Tools. I was hoping to find a pre-made/pre-defined set of values that will give that black on white look. It would otherwise be tedious to try to change the colors one at a time while making sure everything is still visible and provide the proper contrast.

I've been successfull in changing color schemes by exporting the following keys to an OEM:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Color]

You could always set the color you want then use ceregeditor to make a .cab of those three settings....

Well, not everything in those keys...here is my regedits I use:

Hey rstoyguy, do you have any screen shots of your color scheme? Just curious what regedits look like when done. Thanks

Here is the OEM I use to set the theme on my rom currently if you want to take a closer look at it. And I'm planning on releasing a tutorial soon to show folks how to take their metal.tsk or any other .tsk theme and turn it into an OEM...
