Need some help

Monday, November 4, 2002 by The DJ | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

OK, right now with my WB skin my icon text is black. When I use certain other skins the text turns white. When I right click and go to properties-appearance-advanced-other advanced and change the desktop color to white, the text changes to black. However, when I reboot the text changes to white again. I remember someone here having the same problem. Does anyone know how to stop the icon text from changing to white. Thanks.

Just change your desktop color. A dark one gets white icon text, and a light one gets black icon text. Remember that is desktop color not wallpaper.....

If you go into WB options you can uncheck the use skin's colour scheme option. That will stop the desktop changing colour but you may need to change all the other Windows colours too. The other option is to modify the skin's colour scheme using SkinStudio.

Another option is to use FX to set your icon text colour. You can set any colour you like with that!

There's a setting in Windowblinds for desktop color. I think when you reboot, it is resetting the color as it reads the uis file. The setting is in section [Colors]Background.
