How to change Start Menu text color in WM5

[Guest chrisc28]

Like the title says, how do I go about changing the start menu (grid view) text color in WM5.0?

Changing COLOR_MENUTEXT doesn't work as it changes the color of the popup menu's text only.

EDIT: Found a workaround

EDIT2 : Workaround doesn't work for grid menu.

EDIT3 : Brilliant hackng job found this

Why doesn't Microsoft put such things on MSDN?

Problem 2 : How do I set the font color for the Contacts list?

This doesn't go in the registry. You paste it into the XML file you're using for your color scheme or homescreen, in your phone's /Application Data/Home/ directory. (if you're using the Windows Default theme, you put it along with the rest of the tag data in full.home.xml or default.home.xml (don't remember the exact name)
