Start Button Color change?

[Kingsfan]

Hello,
Is there any easy way to change the colors for the Start Bar and "Reception" Bar? Mine are set to default blue.

I was looking to change them either clear or grey.

There are a few theme generators out there that will do this but I recommend the free one (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=1d9f75aa-daa7-473c-a30f-cdc8c87ba75b&displaylang=en) from Microsoft for what you want to do. It is also the easiest to use. It says for 2002 but it works fine for 2003. I've used it a lot for my 5600.

Hey there,
Okay, last question!!
I created my colors, etc.. with the MS manager. However, when I look at the START screen, there are lines going across it and the text is black. I thought I chose white?

I also deleted the previous version from my phone, but it still says that they exist?

There are a bunch of sub settings for colors in the menus. You have to kind of dig through to find them all. Try making another theme and experiment with them also, I've found what looks bright and legible on the PC while you are making the theme looks too dark on the phone. Again you need to experiment a bit. :)
