Ok so this was my contribution to the thread here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=442286

I figured I would post it to see what others get out of this. It works perfectly for me.

Thanks to mouki_9 for pointing out the Syscolor registry link.

I noticed that the green color's hex was 5A A2 00. Going off of that I took a gander in the Syscolor link (HKLM\system\GWE\syscolor) Note: you have to click on GWE then it is a registry link named Syscolor inside of it.

Edit it and look for the line with 5A A2 00, I switched it to 00 66 B3 which is a decent colored blue. After a soft reset, Viola!!

Note this does not change the highlight color of the large menu, I am still working on that. It does however change the highlight of everything else, including the landscape start menu highlight color.

Ok It is not an exact science yet, but I have the jist of what is happening.

This is for the Raphael by the way, incase its different (dont know still a newb).

Anyways. So far what I have figured out for the Enlarged Main menu, is that it does not go off of the reversed number of your hex code, which is what some of us thought. It seems like instead, it goes off the INVERTED COLOR.

I tested this by going into photoshop, going to the color pallete and putting in the color 0066B3 which is a very nice blue (not too dark not too light) imho.

I then filled the layer with that color then went to Image>Adjustments>invert. Or CTRL I. This turned it into a bright orange with the hex of FF994C. I tried that hex (the one for orange) in the phone... and guess what!!!

It turned BLUE. However it did NOT turn the same blue as 0066B3 is, instead it turned to a lighter blue.

All and all I am still tweaking with this to see if we can get this down to a science of finding what color we want precisely. For right now I am happy with a lighter blue then no blue at all..

WOOO.. Ok so, it takes a little bit of work but you can get almost your exact color (based off of how good your eyes are).

Step 1. Go to this website http://www.2createawebsite.com/build/hex-colors.html and find out what color you want your menu to be.

Step 2. Using PHM Registry Editor Navigate to HKLM\Software\HTC\EnlargeMenu.

Step 3. Scroll down to ManilaCustomHLDown and ManilaCustomHLUp Edit them with the color you want. Make sure you select Hexidecimal as the value. This will give you the opposite color.

Step 4. If you dont have it download My Mobiler for your phone. This is a great program that lets you view your phone on your computer!!! Linky: http://blownfuze.org/ (Thank you Doug you rock) Scroll down the page its under the Basic apps and Tweaks section.

Step 5. Go back to the hex-color website, with My Mobiler up and running close out of the registry editor if you havent allready. click on your start menu. Now the opposite color should be seen. (this is were good eyes come in) Try to match up the color of the menu, with the hex-color website as best as possible. Once your finished jot down that hex for the color.

Step 6. Go back into the Registry editor and put in this new Hex. The opposite color should come up... which... (depending again on your eyes) Should be damn close to the color you were looking for.

Another way to do this is to take a screen capture with My Mobiler, and use a image editing program with a color picker. I have photoshop, I believe GIMP has this feature. Hopefully others can chime in on free programs that have it. Pick the color and get the hex for it.

And yet another way, if a programer could make a color picker for windows mobile. I cant remember the name of it, but there is one floating around for regular windows that allows you to pick any color anywere, whether on a website or your desktop, if something like this could be made into a cab for WinMo getting the colors would be a cake walk.

Hope this helps somebody out!!
