Ed,
We have found a fix for your white letters problem. With regedit, go to HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Color
You find a lot of keys there:
1 color of 'status' in activesync cnnct msg.
4 today screen font color
5 background of starticon.
6 horz separator lines in todayscreen
7 color of command bar background
8 color of status bar background
9 color of status bar text
10 navigation bar highlite color
11 tray background
12 tray highlight
13 msgbar left
14 msgbar right
25 alert left
26 alert right
39 color of startmenu letters
This last key should be there (if not, make a Binary Word with name 39). Basically it is a RGB-code for the color:
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
00 FF FF 00 = Lightgreen
FF FF FF 00 = White
Hope this helps
Jaap
