Text Color Issues - Several Areas in Vista
Thursday, May 15, 2008 by LightStar | Discussion: SkinStudio
Having a bit of trouble finding out where to adjust text colors in certain areas of Vista using SKS6. The images below should be self-explanatory:
I do not want to be forced to change the colors of my images or button face color in order fix these issues, I wish to change the actual text colors themselves. Any ideas?
Thanks!

I have a feeling that the black dialog background is going to be a problem as there will be at least one app which hardcodes black for text.

I saw this post when it first came up. Not sure what to do about the text issue, but when I first saw it, I could not see the text at all on my CRT monitor. I'm looking at it right now on a LCD screen and I can read it....very interesting.

Yeah, and that's a real bummer too Neil. Oh well, guess I will have to succumb to the whims of Microsoft.... they sure make it difficult for a person to skin Vista with any creativity at all.
Thanks to everyone for their input.
