WB6: Interesting issue with menu items

I am having an issue in my aero skin for XP. The menu items in some menu's appear correctly, while other display their text in disbled color (or white?). I am using WB6 (latest version) on XP.
I cannot find anything wrong in both Skinstudio 5 and 6.
Anyone to help??



Thanks Zubaz for the upload help.

Thats because the skin was not designed correctly on the secondary menu's, Its not WB6 doing that, it can be fixed by author....If that is you, you need to balance your menu background \ text \ Selected text colors in Classic Colors section. There is no "right way to do it" it is different for every skin. A nice little excercise in trial and error. Also, be careful adjusting those colors, they affect several other areas of the theme.

Fun eh?

Well, nothing against a bit of trial and error   
But now know I where to start looking. The section you refer to, was the least I expected.
By the way the skin is my personalized version of Butch123's VistaRTM6000 skin.
So I have been playing around with it for some time, but luckily I have the original to compare it to.

Fixed it.
Indeed took some tuning in the classic colors section. Under selections had to change Text - Highlighted and Background - Highlighted. Under Menus had to change Background - Menu.
Thanks to VStyler
