Sorry if this has bee brought up before, I searched around and couldn't find my answer:
I have xblast tools on my Gear, and I was wondering if it is possible to change the color selections for things. Every time I open a color wheel to select the color, I can pick it, but the save option doesn't show up on the bottom as it does on my Nexus 5. I have attempted to change the text size, ect, but still no way to select the color I want...
Any help is MUY appreciated

Hi,
I've searched and found the way of changing fonts in the pop-up menu of my HTC Diamond.
However, the selections fonts (the similar to V shapes and the arrows for navigation in the pop up menu) are still in big size... does anyone know how to edit their size as well?
Thanks a lot!
Anyone pls?
Unfortunatelly I have the same problem. I want to have a perfectly clean WM 6.1 system, fully stylus-operated. I have already disabled all the "garbage" like TochFlo etc., I have decreased the pop-up menu font size (using Schap's Adv Config Tool, but that can be easily done with many other progs like SK-Tools etc.) but I still cannot do anything about those stupid large "arrows" and "V-signs" (like in the checkbox list). They remain the same big size, as it was before decreasing the pop-up menu font.
Really nobody knows how to decrease their size as well???
Just a quick suggestion, go to settings, system and screen. Then go to text size, change it down by one nouch. See if that helps
Unfortunatelly no - the popup menu font remains the same (but that I know how to controll over SK-Tools) and also the arrows/v-signs remain the same - very large that is
advanced config will let you change the size of the font in the popup window
This is what you're looking for:
HKLM\System\GWE\"WidgeSz"=0.
Drove me crazy for days too until someone pointed me in the right direction.

Jeez thanks man! That's exactly what I was looking for! Problem solved!
So I just picked up this phone for free from one of my friends and I'm having trouble installing themes. Changing the background around seems easy enough and the phone seems to be in good order and shape but I can't get the designer themes(or any theme, really) to work here. I'm running WM 6.5 Professional(CE OS 5.2.21856 (Build 21856.5.0.65)).
I can't really see what I'm doing wrong. I just don't have access to a specific menu. I followed a few basic tutorials on where to go to pick my theme.
I boot up my phone
I press the Start menu button in the top left
I press Settings
Here's where it differentiates from what I've heard of.
Search YouTube for a video titled "Windows Mobile 6.5 Designer Themes" by an account called pocketnowvideo.
If you look at that YouTube video, around 1:15 you can see the guy press Settings in the Start menu and it brings him to a sub-menu while still in the Start menu. For me, it's different here. Granted, he's using an HTC and I'm equipped with an Omnia, but the menu should still be the same if the OS is the same, no?
So anyways, he taps settings and the menu he gets shows some buttons like Bluetooth, Lock, Sounds and Notifications, and Today. That Today is the button I'm looking for but I can't find it.
Instead, my menu isn't a sub-menu; it's an entirely different menu altogether, seperate from the Start menu that's shown in the video. In my Settings menu, I have two tabs: Basic Settings and Advanced Settings. Neither of these two tabs have a button that says "Today", but the Basic Settings tab has a button that says Display and Light. If I tap on it, it has a button that says Theme and it allows me to select my theme in there. There's also another button that says Items on Today but I'll get to that in a bit.
When I select my theme from the themes offered, nothing changes. Literally nothing(well actually, I think once the colour scheme might have changed, but only slightly and that's it). I can change the wallpaper in a different section of the Display and Light menu but the theme doesn't seem to want to budge.
So moving onto Items on Today button, it allows me to enable what items I want to see on the front of today, as well as the choice of enabling or disabling widgets. Except that when I choose the items for today, the items look very boring and not as vivid and vibrant as they do on the designer themes. They're just 10 point Arial font, nothing more.
tl;dr I can't access the proper Settings menu to properly change a theme, how do I do it?
bump, someone needs to know about this
you are using the samsung UI, just go to samsung settings -> general settings-> samsung touchwiz UI and turn it off. press the start button again then u will go to window's mobile start menu.
I turned that off already.
I just rooted my Nook Color, and I'm having a strange issue. When I long press on some menus, I will receive the pop up box but the text will be missing.
For example - I open File Manager and long press on a file. The icons appear, but the words are blank. Once I touch the item i want, THEN the text will appear briefly (ie. Copy, Paste)
It's not just on File Manger though - which I've uninstalled/reinstalled.
Any ideas?

This is a problem with the way that the B&N software is themed. The menus where this happens has text, it's just white on white making it in effect invisible. There's not a solution yet that I'm aware of, but in some apps you can hold your finger on the menu options which highlights them, making them legible.
Thanks
Thanks for the reply. I was about to start "unrooting" to see if i'd done something wrong. Other than that, this thing is great!
My previous ROM (Perception) had what looked like a blue inverted golf tee to indicate cursor position when editing: if I clicked on it, it would open a context menu, one option of which allows one to select a region of text. (Double clicking on a word would also bring up the Swype misspelling menu, but on this ROM it brings up a menu to edit the single word that is selected. Not terribly helpful, but beside the immediate point.)
Now on CM7, I have a much less functional edit indicator that looks like half of a brown house. There's no context menu and it seems more difficult to move the bounds of a selection precisely. Any way to get the other one back, or is this a gingerbread change that I'm stuck with?
Check cm7 sticky. Maybe they would know.

I recently rooted my NST with NookManager, and was looking to run a "stealth" root under stock. I used the Nook Touch Mod Manager to change the LONG PRESS on the 'n' button to launch THIS. After some fiddling with the options, it pops up a single 5 x 8 grid of apps on a white background with black text. You can long press on an app to hide it. Simple and fast.
I'll be happy to post a screenshot if I can figure out how to take one! :cyclops:
This is the best app for a rooted NSTG No need to fiddle with different launchers, it just works as an extension to the B&N homescreen. Thanks for the tip!

Pardon my ignorance, but how exactly do you 'fiddle with the options'? The app opens in fullscreen mode, and i can't find the way to get the status bar to show up, tried everything...
my nook simple touch rooted with nook manager, so relaunch is the shell(or whatever it's called) from which i run app drawer...
Thanks!

I had this issue with another app and here is what I did:
Temporarily assign the "Menu" function to one of the hardware keys using NookTouchModManager (unless you have it set up that way already for other purposes--I keep a long-press on one button this way just in case).
When you launch your app you will now have a way to access menu functions even though it is running full-screen. In my case I was able to change the settings on my app so it would *not* run full-screen by default, but that is probably not what you want in this instance. After you have made your adjustments, you can change the hardware key back to its default, although I think keeping both a "Back" and "Menu" option around is not a bad idea.
VERY late reply...
I use an app called Button Savior which lets you add a set of software buttons which expand or collapse when you touch an assigned target point on your screen. (I have mine set to a long press in the lower left corner, and since I bought the pro version I can customize my target to be invisible.) That way I can always get to a menu button if I need one.
Don't have my NST with me, so I can't tall you what version I'm running, but I'm pretty sure it's the current version on Google Play.
I came across this old post and thought I'd look up the app to see what it was like. I've attached a copy below.
This is not actually a "launcher" despite what the thread title says. It is plain-and-simple an App Drawer. But as the OP said, it can provide almost a "stealth" modification of the NST. To me it seems ideal for the person who says "I only want to root so I can run app x--I don't want a lot of stuff on it."
There are a few hurdles to get to that point, so here is a brief outline of steps to get it working:
1. Root with NookManager (update it first if you're rooting FW 1.2.2)
2. Install the app along with a good file manager like ES File Explorer which will give you root access when you need it (ReLaunch can't).
3. Use Nook Touch Mod Manager to assign a button press (maybe a long-press?) to the MIUI app. You can use one of the hardware buttons or (less "stealth") one of the QuickNav buttons you don't use like Social, or Shop or Search.
4. Temporarily assign one of the hardware buttons to "Menu". This is needed because the MIUI app opens in full screen by default and you can't get at the settings without the Menu button.
5. Run the MIUI app and configure as you want (there is an option not to hide the status bar). Once you have the appearance you are after note that you can long-press on an app to (among other things) hide it from the drawer or even uninstall it. I suggest you uninstall ReLaunch.
6. Go back to Nook Touch Mod Manager and remove the temporary "Menu" button assignment.
And you're good! Your NST still looks and works like its old self but you're one button-press away from accessing any apps you may want to install. And you have a decent file manager
