Favorites menu font not displaying correctly

Sunday, July 3, 2005 by rmiller1959 | Discussion: WindowBlinds

For some reason, the skin I'm using (iSkin) does not display the font in the Internet Explorer Favorites menu properly. The font is white rather than black, as it is with all the other menus, and a selection only turns black when I move the cursor over it. It's difficult to read, and this behavior isn't consistent with how the other menu fonts are displayed; even the Favorites menu under the Start button in Windows XP is displayed properly (black text on a silver background). If anyone has a solution for this problem, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Regards,

Ron

What is the name of the skin, is easier to help if can apply the skin to see problem myself.

It's called iSkin by Judge and Deggy. I hope that's helpful.

You will need to download SkinStudio from software tab if you do not have it. Apply skin, right click on WB tray icon, select edit current skin. In skinstudio Explorer bar, open controls open menus select pull down item, on the right of preview picture open text colors set normal and next 3 to 00 color, will be in a drop box below preview when select one of the text color settings. Save then reapply skin. You will have to do this for any of the subskins of this that you use. Finish one then at top of skinstudio is drop box to select others, will have skin name in it, when finish the subs just save then they will be ready next time you use them.
I have had this skin for some time now and never noticed this, mind you is use FireFox so I don't even remember what links are in my IE favs.

Until recently, WindowBlinds couldn't change the font color on the Favorites menu. Make sure you have the latest WB beta from Stardock Central.
