What Theme editor are you using?

If you are on Microsoft Theme Generator, the third step is Select Theme Colors, just pick Todays Text color and choose a different color.

If you are using the Microsoft Theme generator you current color for the Start Menu is white... it was black prior to the last upgrade. It can not be changed with this application. However... I believe you can either change it in the registry... or I think that the application created by McDeb will do it...

You can find it here... you will have to do a little reading to make I am not lying to you....

Tweaks2K2 (http://www.pc-counselor.com/downloads.htm) has just released a version that will allow you to change the text color on the start menu. Take a look at this thread (http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=25856&start=80) as well!

Oh and look at this post:

Here is a quick and dirty way to restore the black text to the Start menu after upgrading the firmware to v1.10. You will have to do this every time you change a theme:
- Load your desired theme.
- Use a registry editor and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Color
- Create a new BINARY value named 39 with a data of 00 00 00 00.

That is all. This seems to survive a soft reset but does not survive a theme change.

For full details about the theme format see Pocket PC 2002/2003 ThemeBuilder - the theme creator without limits (http://www.ida.net/users/oe1k/programs/ThemeBuilder/) by Richard L. Owens.
