Wait a second BoXXi, apparently that text color can be changed as vStyler did it in his dark version of the Vox WB. Not sure how though but you might try PM'ing him on it. I guess I was wrong.
Never mind asking John, I just figured it out. The text color in the IE8 address bar is controlled by the Window Text color in SKS7. At least in Windows XP with IE8 that is. If you are in Vista or Win7 they should be running IE9. Hope that helps.
