In this short tutorial we will see How to change the background theme color on Windows Phone. Windows Phone is not the easiest of platform to customize but when this locked down OS was presented the community said one thing ” Challenge Accepted ” ( or I would like to think they did coz we have seen some great ways to customize the Windows Phone ). From the early Accent color hack to the Categories on Home Screen there are some nice little thing to do to personalize your Windows Phone. One sad thing is that you need a dev unlocked device to do some of those and this is another one of those little hack coz this requires to get down and dirty with the registry values. But once you do that you can create add any color for your background like in the images above.
