if it's the html code you're after it's either

#F6FBF5, #F8FCFB, or #FAFAF8 - there were a number of slightly different colored pixels in there...

Do you not mean what attribute name the colour appears under in the xml?? If so, I think thats one of the highlight colours, but not sure which one! :oops:

[Guest Speedy]

Yes, sorry for not making myself clear enough.

it is the attribute name the colour appears under in the xml.

My problem is actually not when it is higlighted. My problem is that i can only see the appointments once i scroll over them and they become highlighted.

I need the attribute name of the appointment when it is not highlighted, so i can see which days i have appointments and which i don't.

thanks

You can set unselected colours in the appointments plugin itself.

<plugin clsid="{865A354A-4A96-4687-B001-C155DC0DBE76}" name="calendar" height="30"> 


  <background b-border-width="0"> 


 	 <format state="selected" bgcolor="transparent" bgimage="StorageApplication DataHomegrid_cal.gif"/>


  </background>


  <label font-size="12">


 	 <format state="unselected" bgcolor="transparent" fgcolor="#777777"/>


    <format state="selected" bgcolor="transparent" fgcolor="#00ffff"/> 


              <text w="150" y="0" x="15"><time/> <subject/> </text> 


          </label> 


	</plugin>

Try that - obv you'll need to change colours, height, x & y, to what your own skin is ...

[Guest Speedy]

I can't figure out which colour to change.

<plugin clsid="{865A354A-4A96-4687-B001-C155DC0DBE76}" name="calendar" height="24">


  <background b-border-width="0">


  <format state="selected" font-weight="normal" bgcolor="transparent" fgcolor="#000000"/>


  </background>


  <label font-size="12" x="-1" y="11" w="176" fgcolor="#000000">


  <format state="selected" bgcolor="transparent" font-size="12" font-weight="bold" fgcolor="#000000"/>


  <text><subject/></text>


  </label>


  <label y="0" x="-1">


  <format state="unselected" bgcolor="#000000" fgcolor="#C3C2C3"/>


  <format state="selected" bgcolor="transparent" font-size="12" font-weight="bold" fgcolor="#000000"/>


  <text fgcolor="#000000"><time/></text>


  </label>


  </plugin>

I have tried changing different colour attributes but none seem to fix the problem where i cant see which day i hav appointments.

Not sure if this will help at all, but I've been playing around with the default Orange homescreens, and noticed that the Orange ones set a bunch of colours that aren't on the default Microsoft ones and aren't referenced anywhere else in the homescreen XML- I'm guessing that they wouldn't be in there unless they had some purpose! So maybe the colour you're trying to change has an attribute that's not being set by the colourscheme you're using?

Anyway, here's the Orange colour scheme from "Orange Layout 1 (default)" from the MPx200 in full- maybe "COLOR_CALONHOURS" and COLOR_CALOFFHOURS" will do something?

<scheme>

Right- I've had a bit of a play around, and the one you've after is COLOR_HIGHLIGHT.

(Also, in case anyone finds it useful to know, for some reason, the previous and subsequent months colour code is COLOR_BTNFACE.)
