Changing color of components and system.
-
Hello all. I'm in a hurry, hope you can help me. I had to change the color of the entire system (Intermec 730 with Windows CE.NET). That is, change the color of the buttons, background, highlighted text, etc. For that, I just had to open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE key in registry, and under such key, modify the SysColor field, which is a large binary object. Then I have to soft-reset my PPC so that the changes are available. I already did that. The thing goes well using a Symbol, HP and Compaq machines. But the thing is not working under Intermec's. Any clues to this behaviour? I've been analysing it, and it seems that after a soft-reset (warm reset, warm boot) the registry key is resetted up with its original values, as if a hard-reset (cold reset) were performed. Any clue, any idea will be really apreciated. Thanks a lot, Fernando. A polar bear is a bear whose coordinates has been changed in terms of sine and cosine.

Yes, I tried everything. In fact, I know now what's going on. Intermec machines "saves" a registry photograph in its 2577 autorun directory. Hence, when soft/hard-booting, it reads such file and restores the registry, so the settings are not lost.

"Interesting" approach by Intermec... Thanks for the info, I will save this incase I ever have to work with such a device. Jonas --- "Man will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest". -- Denis Diderot
