Friday, March 2, 2007 by alenknight | Discussion: SkinStudio
I really don't understand this. How do you edit the background color of the START/ALL PROGRAMS/ popup??? by default it's white, and i want to change the text to white/ red background...
i am using skingstudio pro... andio and i can edit all the regular bars... but no idea how to change just this popup window!?!?!?

The color "block" that you see when you mousover all programs text is your themes main selected item color... The text color is controlled by More Programs Panel > Background > text Color.
If you want to change the actual color of the background itself you have to use the More programs panel arrow image as a background instead.

Are you referring to the menu that pops out? If you are, here is what you do: On left side in Skin Studio, go to Start Panel > More Programs Menu > Background (for the background); More Programs Menu > Item, then look on the right side, click on text colors to change the color of your text. Be aware that this will affect the Favorites menu on your start panel too.
If this is not what you mean, how about putting a screenshot of the area you are talking about here, so we are all on the same "page"?

Just a word on these two areas. They will affect the right click menu on your desktop also, so be sure to check that out after applying your changes.
