Mycolors fix
Font issue

I was at a friends house tonight that had some Mycolors themes installed on his computer. Knowing that I messed around with this stuff he pointed out a problem with some menu item fonts not being visible (see photo"s below). I opened the skin in question up in skinstudio and had a look to see if I could find out the problem. At first I thought it was a font color so I went through the various font selections changing the color one at a time only to discover that is not what caused the invisible text. Below are the steps to solve it. I realize it is an easy fix for most members on this site especially those who skin Windowblinds but there still might be a few that need these instructions.
1: Open up the skin in SkinStudio and select Edit start menu and taskbar
2:Click on Edit Start Menu
3: Go to the second window by selecting next at the bottom left corner
4:Select Menu Item at the top left corner.
5:Click the Text tab found at the bottom of the window
6:Under text font change OS Default to Tabs-All States=Tahoma-11.
7: Apply the skin to determine if the correction was made and if it was save and exit SkinStudio.
The photo's will give a good look at what needs to be done.

2 more things I should have mentioned are that not all Mycolor skins have this problem. He had 2 Basketball themes installed, one had the issue and one did not. Also you can remove the user picture in SkinStudio by selecting Extra settings and selecting the Hide user Picture option.
