Fontcolor

from Stardock Forums
Hello,
I'work with windowBlinds and I have take the Jadaero Skin.

My OS = WinXP sp2

Most is working properly, but the font color is black.
The background of the skin is also black and I cannot see the text.

Whre can I find the option to change this point.

All the other text (windows, menus...) are OK.

------------------------

How can I change the "wellcome" and the "LogOff" screen.
There are always in the standard winXP look (blu...)

The black text is hard coded onto XP. All you can do is change the background color, not the text color.

You'll have to edit the skin in skinstudio, a lot of "skinners" neglect to properly skin the shellstyle. What I usually do is borrow the logoff/shutdown dialog and buttons from another skin and point skinstudio to those.

If I take the the skin >> Jadaero Skin and the icons from >> Ares ....

If I deactivate the >>>>>Jadaero Skin and set also for the skin >>> Ares...
The textcolor ist white.

But I wish to take the >>>>Jadaero Skin with textcolor white.

Sometimes text color, toolbar icons, (dare I say it) throbber hang around from the last skin you applied. That may be the reason the font color changes.
