Start Menu Backround Color - HTC Excalibur

Hey I did a quick search and found a way to set the background wallpaper of the start menu, but is there an easy way to just change the color? IE: I want to change it to black or gradient black

you can't really change it to any color, as the startmenu-background is a plain white bitmap-fil, and not an internal color. see my thread below (changing internal images-thread), there i wrote about the reg-key where to thange this image.)

Think it's been covered

your phone came with white and black font color as default, unless you deleted the .xml file on your phone , it should be on settings/homescreen/color scheme. any other color you have to make.

HTC Home screen 1.11 Help

HI,
I like the default home screen that comes with the Cavalier (sorry). However, I changed the background image and the fonts do not show very well. I would like to change the font color and the highlight font color. I need the font color in white and the highlighted font in blue (not dark blue).
I'm not familiar with the .xml programming; however, if anyone can help me to change these two parameters on the HTC.Home.xml, I would be really happy.
Is it possible to do these changes? Will I need a special Editor for changing the code? or could it be done with a common application?
Regards,
REY

[Q] Is Fade and Gradient broken?

Can someone explain to me how Fade and Gradient fill styles are meant to work please? As far as I can see, neither produces results I would expect.
For example, open up the advanced parameters on a progress bar and specify the "fill mode other color" as, say, white. Then try changing the colour under the fill mode or the foreground colour - no change to the widget colour.
With Gradient fill, all I want to do is go from opaque white to transparent white but Zooper decides to get there it needs to go through yellow!
I'm either not understanding how the UI is meant to work here or these options are really busted. Anyone able to offer any help?
Example of the gradient problem is attached.

Yeah damn things been like this for a while. Shows some yellowish color for me usually. Mess with the foreground/background colors and it'll work right. Just have to F with it.
HSV gradient instead of a RGB gradient ?
I have the same issue and then googled a little. After reading these two pages "perbang.dk/rgbgradient" and "bensouthgate.com/p/12_3_13.php" (I can not post link now), I think the gradient is based on HSV and not RGB; the later seems however be more intuitive and correspond to what I imagine for a gradient from white to another color.
I don't think we can code a RGB gradient from the Advanced Parameter because some functions are currently missing.
If anyone has an idea...

Can't change to Black background instead of transparent?

transparency is fancy but it has made it hard for me to read. Can I change the background of the application list and even pull down notifications to black instead of transparent?
Can I also change the white menu's to have a black background?
So far the only thing I found I could change is the bottom soft-key bar. I don't want to use inverted mode either.
