Change background colour in WP7 [How To]

A good bulk of us has been intrigued past the white background and black live tiles combination of themes, not to mention choosing the colour scheme of your device by hex values instead of a limited (but aesthetically pleasing) list. Thankfully diaahussein and rmcgraw have come with a sweet lilliputian guide (especially convenient for us newbies).

You will need an unlocked device (read up on our Chevron team coverage) and have a registry editor installed. This process involves altering system settings on your phone and WPCentral cannot (and will not) accept any responsibility or liability for devices that end up continuously displaying the following image when booting upward:

Now onto the hacking goodness, you can alter either the night or low-cal themes (or leave either as default) and switch between the two when you want. So, you'll need to accomplish the following steps:

Open up up the register editor installed and become to: HKLM\ControlPanel\themes (HKML may be displayed as HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE or LOCAL_MACHINE)
Motion into the 0 binder to edit the light theme or 1 for the nighttime theme.
Change the respective keys (hex colour values) shown bellow (you must exit the "#FF" in when irresolute your colours, so black would exist #FF000000 instead of #000000):

Dark Theme:

[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\1\Basethemecolor]
[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\1\TextHighContrast]
[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\i\TextBackGround]
[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\i\pageBackGroundColor]
[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\1\SysTrayBackGroundColor]

to change the font colour:

[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\1\TextNeutralColor]
[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\ane\ListPickerBackgroundPre ssed]
[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\1\ContrastColor]

Light Theme:

[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\0\Basethemecolor]
[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\0\TextHighContrast]
[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\0\TextBackGround]
[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\0\pageBackGroundColor]
[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\0\SysTrayBackGroundColor]

to change the font colour:

[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\0\TextNeutralColor]
[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\0\ListPickerBackgroundPre ssed]
