Disturbing text color while using Adobe CS2-programs
Greyish menu text
Saturday, May 27, 2006 by Richterprodukt | Discussion: WindowBlinds
Greetings.
I'm using Windowblinds 5.00 with the "Glitch"-Theme (Black). But following problem does not occur in this theme only.
Some important menu-items in programs like Adobe Illustrator or Indesign have a textcolor, that is hard to read. Grey text on grey or white background isn't good. I've tried already some adjustments via the XP-Desktop-Settings, but that won't help. Here's a pic:
Any idea how to solve?
Thx.

Judging from the text in the dropdown box, it looks like the Window Text color has been set to gray in that skin. If you have SkinStudio, open the skin in it and go to the Classic Colors section - you can change the Window Text color there (black would probably be a good choice). Save the skin after making that change and reload it using the Re-apply Skin button in SkinStudio. Post back if that doesn't get the job done.

Didn't work. In the Window-Text-Section there is no color, that has such a light grey as it's seen in the Indesign-Windows.

I went to look at the skin for myself, but I don't find a skin by the name of Glitch on WC. Where did you D/L it from?

I chose "Glitch Full Black".

Thanks for the link, guys. I can't be sure where that color is being pulled from - it looks like it is close to either the Disabled Text color or the Selected Text color. Try changing those one at a time, reload the skin & see if the tab text changes in that dialog.

You can add adobe to the per application in WB configuration to either totally exclude from skinning or other options like only skin title bar (as a workaround until a real solution shows up).
