Can someone please explain to me how to go about changing text color in user pane and all other sections seperately? Can change color in the user pane, but all the other text colors changes also. If there's any way to change them seperately let me know. keep in mind I'm real new to this stuff. Thanks, Richard

Hippy- Thanks for the info but I don't know how to do that. Maybe you can elaborate? Can add new section but don't know how to get it to go where I want it to. Richard

you need to add a new color to your preset colors and assign it to the user pane

How many times are you going to post this question? You have it twice in the skinning section, and again in the help section. I answered your question the first time you asked it.

Was I mistaken? Did it not work for you?

In the left tree (left side) in skin studio, click on xp start panel, then start panel user pane. Then on the right side, click on text settings, then text color. If you want to change the default text color, you need to create a new color preset. To do this, look at the bottom of the window in skin studio, and you'll see add new color. Click on that and choose your new color. This will give you a new color totally separate from the default font color. You can also change the font (text) by clicking on normal font also on the right hand side and using the same process you used to change the color, but in this instance, you will click on add new font. Hope this is clear.

In your case, the skin you're trying to change most likely has the same colour preset set for the userpane and the other parts that change.
You'd need assign an alternate preset for the Userpane to change it independantly.
