I set the "Menu Bar" value to black, but some other windows use not the menu bar color, but the "Toolbarbackground" texture, which should remain bright. Problem is, that both bars use the same colour for the text, which I fit to the black background and it does not look right with the bright background. Can you somehow disconnect the text colour for both, using bright text for the black background and dark text for the bright background? Or is it possible to let the menu background, which uses the texture, use the menu bar colour?
A) 1.add text color property to toolbar or toolbar button in stylebuider or 2. reshack the app
B) 3D edge have 4 different colors, 3D-light,inner-top right(or inner-bottom left as in sunken edge) 3D-hi-light,outer-top right(or outer-bottom left as in sunken edge) 3D-shadow,inner-bottom left(...) 3D-dark shadow,...
xp's menu use 3D-shadow as outline and separate's first line,3D-hi-light as separate's second line
but it could be used by any app's UI or even css style to match local theme,get 3Dcc and try it out,you will understand it soon,
but in this case,the upper No.1 is a groupbox ,it could use image texture instead in stylebuider
1. I simply can not find where to change that text colour, I was able to change all of the text, but not this. Maybe it is associated with another value somewhere?
2. The buttons have the grey text colour, in StyleBuilder I set it to white and you can see it in SB like that, but the actual theme remain same. Is that a glitch?
No.1 is Editbox,No.2 is pushbutton,it both has sub property to define text color,if you can't add property in SB,try to edit the xml file in your project folder,like this
Indeed, the numbers inside the editbox (or is that listbox?) are black too, but editing the editbox/listbox (incl. the sub properties) seems not to help much.
Thanks again for your help.
By the way, this is my first real skinning attempt, is the WindowBlinds skin editor better than StyleBuilder? I remember from an "ancient" free WB editor that you could even edit some of the icons. Maybe I purchase WB and make a better skin, not sure yet.
I think that's Y'Z shadow's dialog,isn't it,I check my own Y'Z shadow,those colors are also black,that I guess this could mean those colors are defined by the app itself,otherwise I'm not sure,this kind of problem is worse when you use a dark theme,a dark background is not consider as a default color scheme by most app
those icons you mentioned in WB could be reshacked in shell32.dll mostly,and some other system resources file
It is very good possible that some programs use their own text colour, but in my case it is a general problem. I noticed that it is the description text.
As for the numbers in the edit/listbox, other windows use the normal window text for this, which works, but Y'Z Shadows maybe uses the description text for this, because it is black like the actual description text.
By the way, I wonder if it is possible to remove/change that WinXP logo you got at the top right of the window. I guess needs to be reshacked, too.
