Question Today Screen Font Color

How do you change the font color for the text on the today screen? Mine is white and limits the usefulness of some background images.
Windows Mobile 3 was black and I would like to use black again.

Hi lksm12! Good question, and there are a couple ways you can change the font color.

You can either use apps like Tweaks2k2 or CETuner or tweak the registry yourself. If you choose to do it yourself, these steps may help you do that [taken from PocketPCmag]:

1. You'll need a registry editor like the Resco Registry Editor.

2. Go to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Color] and click SHColor in the bottom pane. There, go to the position '0010' (that's where the three bytes of the today text color start); the cursor should blink at the beginning of the row

3. press the Delete key (NOT the backspace key!) exactly three times. The three bytes that stood to the right from the cursor have now disappeared and the rest of the contents have shifted to the left

4. enter the R/G/B components of the new color. For example, if you want gray Today font colors, enter 80 80 80

5. press OK and Yes

Hope this helps... and let us know if you have any questions!
