'today' settings, i want to change the font color

bakazaru · 08-14-04, 02:14 AM

i just got my 3i, and i love it. i found out that i could put pictures up as the today screen's background, and i love it, but it sets the font to white, and i can't read anything with half of my pictures.
my question, how do i change the color of the font? i've tried almost everything, and i'm starting to think that it can't be done...

Since you are just getting started, (me too) I would suggest using the FREE Microsoft theme generator. It helps you choose the pic, and then all of the different fonts (top, bottom, and middle of screen) to change color, you know, personalize!

Microsoft.com type in the Microsoft theme generator in search bar at top, get one for Pocket PC (I believe it is called a powertoy) I don't know how to just post a freaking link...

Power Toys Link

You can also try TKCreator from www.Funnysnake.com

To post a link, you can:

Use the "Insert Hyperlink" option on the toolbar above the message box on a reply page. I's the little icon of the World with a chain BRC.
Type the address using the [URL] tags.
or just type a short address and the app will automatically pick it up as a hyperlink

You can play around with links (and other stuff) in the Forum Testing area until you're comfortable with using them.

A tip - Try not to double post someone will answer, I promise. :) It has a habit of irritating some of the members.

I've answered you blurred text issue in your original post, hope it works.

Hey, this funnysnake thing works pretty great. I've been trying all afternoon to fix the problem of my white start menu text becoming "invisible" against my new light-colored background image. I couldn't get the spb program to work as I think I am a computer idiot and couldn't figure out how to save the theme I downloaded from pocketpcthemes.com as a tdywater.gif file. So, rather than confront my idiocy, I tried this program and within seconds had fixed the issue. Thanks for the help!
