Those are the progress bars. You can change them at Edit Controls-->Edit Progress Bar Controls-->Horizontal Progress bars-->block.

Very nice!
The black font can be changed at Edit Explorer/IE Shell Parts-->Edit Vista/7 Explorer Parts--Explorer Info Pane-->background-->Extra Settings.
The white part is here: Edit Explorer/IE Shell Parts-->Edit Additional Vista/7 Parts-->Additional Explorer Sections-->Top Area on libraries (I think).
I have a ton of bookmarked threads in the forums because I can't keep it all straight in my head all the time.

So, there is one more problem. the selected font color is blue and i tried to change it in the skin colors options but it may be wrong.

Make sure you check the box that says "enable to use the color settings below" - Text color 2 is the one for the explorer info pane background on my system.
As for the text on the ListView selection image that you're showing in your last screen shot...I have no idea where to change that color. Sorry. ![]()

Not sure about the white part, but the gray text you are pointing at cannot be changed.

Okay, i have still some white backgrounds i want to have blue. is it possible to change all white parts or are there some parts i can not change?

There are some parts that you won't be able to change, the only way to change everything is to edit system files.

Which I do not think anyone here would recommend! Yikes! ![]()

Thanks LightStar
, Forgot to mention not recommended. I have done it, not only is it a pain swapping images it's really a pain hunting everything else down that you want to change in UIfiles. I would much rather have the few things that aren't skinnable in skinstudio than doing it the hard way!

change colors, change system colors, see what your window text color is. not sure but I'm guessing it'll be orange.
