start menu color?

[nuggetman]

I just upgraded to A02 and now my start menu text is white instead of black... how can I make it black again?

To change the text use a registry editor and make your way to:

HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Color

See if the key "39" exists, if it does, you can change it to this:

00 00 00 00 = black
FF 00 00 00 = red
00 FF 00 00 = green
FF FF 00 00 = yellow
00 00 FF 00 = blue
FF 00 FF 00 = purple
FF FF FF 00 = White

If the key doesn't exist, create New Binary Value, name it 39 and use the above code for setting the color.

I had the same problem, but the color change will work even with a soft-reset, but not a theme change. So set the theme you want then do the hack.
