Hola everybody!,

OK I decided to open a thread about to change the color of the text in sense TABs. I have been posting some ideas in the great Franwella's thread COLOURISE YOUR LIFE! but may be we can organize separately the issue of the color of the text.

This is not a tutorial thread, as i am not an expert in WM nor mobile soft. Just sharing some experiments with the color of the font, that i find useful with lights backgrounds.

I find not much information around, I have been reading this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=567515 and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=464984

But the key was given by Co0kie Monster: About the text color: you need to edit home.mode9, but the color property doesn't exist (so it defaults to black). You can create it: find Home_APName then right click on GLESText, select insert->property, name it "Color", and write in the RBGA values.

[[[by the way, thousand of thanks to kamill, Co0kie Monster, and of course 6Fg8 ]]]

So I opened the file 7c60907d_manila to modify the home tab (you can look at <scene> to have an idea of what can be modified in every mode9 manila file)

Then find 'network' so it goes to the <Object>Type="GLESText" and we can modify some properties of this 'object': position, fonts, size, and also we can add the property 'Color'.

Press right button over the line <Object>Type="GLESText" and select 'insert' then will open another small window (select tag) and select property

then <Property> Name=Name Value="Value" is added below the last property line below <Object>Type="GLESText" (check the tree is correct)

So click with the left button of the mouse over the new line created and put Color in the yellow box below, so there will be 4 new boxes for the RGBA value of your favorite color (I use this web-site to find some colors codes http://html-color-codes.info/codigos-de-colores-hexadecimales/ ). After the changes press OK button to add it to the file. Then 'save file as ...' and try it in your device ;)

By this we have changed the color of the 'operator txt' in the home screen

If you copy the new <property> by clicking with the right button of the mouse and select copy, you can add it easily to other <Object>Type="GLESText" by 'paste below' function in the ringht button mouse dialogue, so other texts in the same file can be modified easily.

I find out what A means in RGBA code is the transparency level, so better put 255 there!

I have tried this <Property> Name=Color Value="R=0 G=0 B=0 A=255" [[black]], and also I have tried <Property> Name=Visible Value="False" when I do not want to have something in the screen. Also I have made some changes with the fonts and the size of the text.

You can find another example of how use m9editor to modify the color of thext of manila files in post#116

I strongly recomend this thread of rat_2665 where you can find a very good example of changes in mode9 & luac files applied to clocks http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=691638

Also I have tried other mode9 manila files, I have made a preliminary list which must be updated! [update 15-06-2010: linking the manila files modified]

I have made some CABs, may be you can try :rolleyes: I wait for yours!!!

If you wish to change the color of the softkeys text you can get information from ephestione's thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=698616

You can also can try to change some other properties set in mode9 files: here I have been playing with text alignment
