Change Start Menu Color
The registry Binary Value key that controls the font color on the start menu is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Color\39 and value for black is 00 00 00 00. Here are values for other colors: black = 00 00 00 00 red = FF 00 00 00 green = 00 FF 00 00 yellow = FF FF 00 00 blue = 00 00 FF 00 purple = FF 00 FF 00 White = FF FF FF 00

How do you open the registry on a pocket_pc
you need a 3rd party registry editor. You can search google for "phm registry editor" for example
I'm using the new T-Mobile MDA and when I open the registry the '39' I need to change my text color isn't there... any ideas?
Try creating that key yourself. Sometimes when registry keys are not visible, windows uses it standard values.
For other color values, see this link:

Another registry value is color 4 for Today's font color. OK it can be changed with a theme generator but when you just want a quick change on a downloaded theme...
Any idea where to find the meaning of all values?
hi i want 2 do that
This is just what I needed for my ipaq 2755. However, will it always be this way? Or will I need to change it every time? At least I can read my weather forecast now! Thanks!
Anyone know what item each key is linked to? I'd like to be able to change some of the other system colors but don't want to mess around randomly...
Where do I change the number to 00 00 00 00 instead of 39? Where do I go?
