"All Programs" window on Start 8

Wednesday, February 22, 2017 by Badgename | Discussion: Beginners

I'm guessing, since I don't see anyone else posting this problem, that I'm missing something simple, but here's my question.

Is there a way to change either text color or background color of the window that appears when I click "All Programs" or "Programs" ?

I'm using Start 8 on Windows 8.1, and the vast majority of Windowblinds I apply have nearly unreadable text on the "All Programs" window.   (Light text on light background).

Thanks for any help.

Changing the text color when you open the All Programs list also changes the regular Programs. To leave the text color the same do this

NOTE: You have to do changes using Skinstudio. Open the skin you want in Skinstudio. Change the background color when you click on the All Programs. Open SKS. Click on Edit startmenu and taskbar Click on Edit startmenu. At the top click on Top part on the bottom click Extra settings. Scroll down to you see "All Programs list background color" Use drop down menu on right and change to color you want. Click apply.
