Explorer Address Bar Menus Unreadable

The text is the wrong color

By iambennuris Posted May 1, 2008 21:50:49

I found a great skin with some mod and almost have it but the Explorer Address Bar Menus are just not readable. Can anyone tell me where to change the font color in SS6?

The text is just unreadable

See. Thanks in advance,

Posting the link to the skin might help.
Posting your WB sys info sometimes helps too

(from memory....im in xp atm)

this is in the treenode:

controls/favourites menu (font colour is changable in the menu item section i believe...)
and check standard menu too.....

sorry if im wrong......i wish i was in vista to double check.....

Thanks for your responses.

hi, have new info for you..

in vista now.....

okay in change colour section change :

menu text (to what colour you want it to be as normal default colour)
selected item (is more like a shadow for selected item text, make sure you get this colour right, otherwise it can render yr font unreadable)

selected item text (this colour is for mouseover pressed ect....)

for example if selected item text was WHITE, you would make the selected item colour a darker shade perhaps greyish........so its like a shadow, but still readable...

those 3 colours are for the start menu pop up section (and also skin photoshop drop down menu too)

start menu pop up has its own section for text and colours, ect, but it only changes when you adjust those 3 colours i just told you about.

also check out favourites menu and pop up menu, those colours can be changed in their text area in 'menu item'

okay done! truly hoped this helped!!

Thank you Kittymalone,

I found just what you suggested but changeing the default color did not change it for that particutlar part of the menu nor for the view menu with has the same problem in this particular skin.

I will keep looking for and answer and post if I find anything. Thank you so much for both you time and knowsledge,

this is hilarious! I have the same problems with unreadable menus with Win Vista SP1..I had hoped to use SkinStudio to fix this.BTW the Aero skin on my XP home desktop works perfectly.
