Hi,

Could someone please tell me if it's possible to change the font/print on the agenda page.

I've got a theme running now that's so dark I can't make the print out. A bright pink would be really neat, but that's just me. Any color other than black I think would do on this particular theme.

If it is possible could someone please "walk" me through the process?

Thanks for any help,
Linda

Copy the .dsh file from the skin in question to your Desktop computer. Open the file using Notepad or anyother text editor.

look for the following text in the file

[MainText]
ColorNormalText = 0,0,0
ColorHeadingText = 0,0,0
ColorHighPriorityText = 0,0,0
ColorLowPriorityText = 0,0,0

you will notice that you can have 3 numbers to make up the colour value... this use R,B,G values
so for bright pink you could use 255,0,132 however thats more like fushia... ;)

the normal text is the majority of the text you will see.

You can also edit things like this on the PPC quite easily. Two possible tools for such, both freeware, are Tillanosoft (http://tillanosoft.com/ce/index.html)'s notepad (also install their tGetFile.dll for global file browsing and saving, outside of the My Documents folder) and ColorView (http://home.swbell.net/odonnel1/ppc.htm). The former is a fine text editor, the latter is an RGB preview tool, very small, with three sliders to adjust between 0 and 255. Just slide each around, watch the rest of the screen to see the colour, and write down the three numbers (in correct top-down order) for transfer to a skin file.
