I've tried different themes but experienced a annoying problem with the font colors.
The fonts on the main screen are OK, in that you can read them against the desktop colors. I think the theme decides the color ?
When I click on the Start Menu, the fonts appear in white and that makes it hard to read when used with certain desktops. I've looked in settings and can't find any thing to do with fonts colors.
For example, the xRayFlower theme has white text on the black desktop, which makes it easy to read. Click on the Start Menu and the dropdown box has a white background which makes the white text impossible to read.
Is this fixable?

Windows Mobile 2003 will not allow changes to the Start Menu font colour through themes. You can install a registry editor and add a new BINARY value to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Color. You have to call it 39 and make it equal to 00 00 00 00 for Black, FF FF FF 00 for White, FE 00 00 00 for Red and 00 00 FE 00 for Blue.

You can also do this change (and others) with Tweaks2K2.
