Home screen text layout and colour

[Guest hybrid_peanut]

How do I go about changing the layout and text colour for the carrier and time on the home screen?

I'd like to have 2 simple home screens:

Both the carrier and time will be located on the top line, carrier aligned left and time aligned right and in black and another one but with the text in white.

How do I do this?

TIA ppl :)

Take a look at these color guides by Machineman:

Thanks for the info but it doesn't tell me how to change the Carrier (Orange) or time colour on the home screen! :cry:

1. To change/customize carrier or operator name:

1. Use PHM RegEdit then go to:

HKLM/Software/Microsoft/RIL/OperatorNames

2. Create a new string value then if you're using

a. UK Orange SIM, type 23433 as value name. Then under value data, type your desired operator name.

b. UK One2One/Virgine SIM, type 23430 as value name. Then under value data, type your desired operator name.

3. Restart phone/switch to airplane mode on/off/on for changes to take effect.

2. To change time colour on the home screen:

Edit your XML, look for 'time fgcolor'

Sample code:

<clock>


<date fgcolor="#FFFFFF" font-size="12" mode="long" halign="right" y="1"/>


<time fgcolor="#FFFFFF" font-size="12" mode="12" halign="right" y="11"/>


</clock>


</plugin>

FFFFFF corresponds to a white color.

If you mean the iconbar - then look for fgcolor="#xxxxxx", and change it to fgcolor="transparent". If thats not what you mean, give us a few more details or a screenshot & I'll sort it for ya! :wink:
