Wow.... vStyler replied to one of my threads. *bows*

You're right though, it is very tricky. Changing the window text color under system defined colors also changed it to a bright text in other fields. Which didn't work in those other areas because those are much lighter. Now I know why most people start with light colored skins.

Keeping the mouseover items set to OS Default doesn't work. That's how I have it set for those first two images. The places and programs menus work fine that way but as the second image shows, it doesn't change the all programs list.

I've tried every combination I can think of. Either the all programs text doesn't change, or the places text changes with it.

WOW...

Thank you so much. I'm guessing Neil is a Stardock employee? If so, he really does need to edit those. That's really confusing. I never edit those because I figure they're actually unused or for other settings (like animations).

Saved my life, man. (and what's left of my afro).

True enough. I'm actually quite fond of my hair. Keeps me head warm.

I'm glad I found this thread.  I was going nutz trying to figure out how to change that font in a theme!  Thanks, vStyler.

This was a great help because I experienced the same problem but never got around to asking how to fix it. Now I know so thank you vStyler.
