Font Color Change On Software(New Software)

[sawfan862]

On th software we have created a hack here to put custom backgrounds. If your like me and relized that black doesnt work i have a solution. To do this you need to download res Hacker.
1.Make shure zune is closed
2.Open Res hacker, open the "ZuneShellResources.dll"
3.Click RCData. Scroll Down Click On Styles.UIX, the click 1033
4.You should see the folowing

<!-- Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. -->
<UIX
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2007/uix"
xmlns:iris="assembly://UIX/Microsoft.Iris"
xmlns:zune="assembly://ZuneShell/ZuneUI"
xmlns:style="res://ZuneShellResources!Style.uix"
xmlns:me="Me">


<Class Name="Styles" Shared="True">
<Properties>

<zune:FontLoader Name="FontLoader" Resource="ZuneShellResources.dll">
<Fonts>
<String String="EndurancePro-Bold.ttf"/>
<String String="EnduranceProCaps-Bold.ttf"/>
<String String="Zegoesb_U_AA.ttf"/>
<String String="Zegoeui_U_AA.ttf"/>
<String String="Zegoeuib_U_AA.ttf"/>
<String String="Cegoeuil_auto.ttf"/>
<String String="zegoecpb.ttf"/>
</Fonts>
</zune:FontLoader>


Go Down Until It Says

<Color Name="DarkGray" Color="128,0,0"/>
<Color Name="WarmGray" Color="128,0,0"/>
<Color Name="LightGray" Color="151,0,0"/>
<Color Name="VeryLightGray" Color="180,0,0"/>
<Color Name="RedOrange" Color="235,70,46"/>
<Color Name="Magenta" Color="241,13,162"/>



When you get here do what i have done change the numbers to corespont with certian colors, I have chosen red. If you need to find a good color and the coresponding numbers, use custom colors under the paint program.
5. go down and do all up till,

<Font Name="ZegoeLight12" Font="Cegoe UI Light,12"/>
<Font Name="ZegoeLight14" Font="Cegoe UI Light,14"/>
<Font Name="ZegoeLight15" Font="Cegoe UI Light,15"/>
<Font Name="ZegoeLight16" Font="Cegoe UI Light,

To change ones like: <Color Name="SyncHeaderColor" Color="{DarkGray}"/>

just replace darkgray with the desierd color

I would sugest only changing a couple things at a time and only ones with numbers and words.


Thats how to change color on the new software, im willing to answer any questions at all on this.

Could Some One Make A Batch File For This?

[sawfan862]

anyone wanna tel me why this doesnt work after the update?

[sawfan862]

I cant edit my original post so NOTE::::You also need to put in the color name for names look her http://www.pitt.edu/~nisg/cis/web/cgi/rgb.html

Ex:<Color Name="red4" Color="139,0,0"/>

thank you but im confused...

[nathanlawliet]

You have to get Resource Hacker and open up one of the Zune's .DLL files. You can replace the code in their with what the poster here posted and it will change text colors of text in the Zune Software.

[joej]

Hey db. I've actually had a custom software for a while now too. But I think its great that you posted that tutorial to help some people.

[joej]

yeah even though i dont understand what you guys are saying i am gratful that you made a tutorial

[sawfan862]

okay im guessing somepeople arnt getting it so i will try to redo this and hope to make better scnce

[db_]

i dont really understand how its not "understandable" other than changing fonts in the certain area's but most of them are named properly, you can even make your own name and colors and look in the code and give them their own proper naming. its not that hard at all...

[joej]

maby a tutorial with pics should be posted so people know exactly what to do

[cassiecate]

that's awesome, thanks!

Cool, thank you! But now please someone find/ask someone to hack the firmware and allow us to change the font(size/color/anything else with font) on our zune device!
