I am using the Noir theme with WB5, and the text in the column headers of grids is way too light. Also the text in the navigation bar on most file/save dialogs is too light. Can you guys tell me how to change that? I added PaintShop Pro to the list of applicaitons that WB shouldn't skin. butI don't want to keep doing that for every little thing. I just need help figuring out where to go to change these little settings.
Thanks!

If the column headers shown in your first image are standard Windows column headers (List View Header Item in SkinStudio), you can change the text color in the section Controls/List View Header Item. You may have to play around with SkinStudio a bit to see how to make the change - select the text state in the Text Colors section & a drop down box should appear in the lower section of SkinStudio from which you can select pre-set colors for the text. If none of the colors are acceptable, you'll need to add another color to the Color Presets, then go back to the text color attribute section & select/apply it. I'm not sure the headers in your image are "standard" column headers, though (the tabs above make me wonder), so the color may be getting pulled from somewhere else.
The text color in the Save As dialog sidepanel appears to be pulled from the Disabled Menu Item Text in the Classic Colors section (Selections/Text - Disabled Text). I don't believe the sidepanel text in that dialog can be independently changed by WindowBlinds.
