Skinning Message Text
No More?
Sunday, December 2, 2007 by Daiwa | Discussion: Skinning
I'm on XP using WB6.
In prior versions of WB (prior to 5x, at least), you could still get at the old Display Properties dialog and change the color of the message text if you wanted, or needed to to make it consistent with the rest of the skin.
In WB6, the old-style DP Appearance dialog is gone (at least I can't find it). There is no control for Message Text color in the Classic Colors section of SKS5 (not using SKS6 yet).
Am I just missing it or is that capability gone with WB6/SKS? I have a skin finished except for that little detail.

Ack - I missed the additional step of clicking "Other Advanced Controls" after clicking on "Advanced" in the Appearance tab.
Thanks for your help, mitche323. That solves my local problem.
However, that still doesn't give the skin control of the Message Text color - is that not possible with WB6?
