Changing the font color in the taskbar is possible....
Registry editing can't get this to work....
Tools that you need : Resource Hacker & a Hex Editor...
I am using Restorator 2007 and a freeware xvi32 Hex Editor....
Takeownership of the aero msstyles in (C:\window\Resources\Themes\Aero\aero.msstyles) if you are using the default style
do a backup just in case.
Open the aero.msstyles with Restorator or any Resource Hacker you're using...
Expand the Variant Folder and save the Normal.res in a place where you can find it.
Ok next come the hex editor, open the Normal.res with vxi32 and press Ctrl+G to bringup the search address & key in
2DC75 in the search box with hexadecimal radio button check
Once you in the right address look for FF FF FF in the correspond row it should be at column 12 13 14, change it to any color you desire and save it.
Note that the color is in
Hex code not RGB.. eg if you wanna change to black the code is 00 00 00.
Lastly use Restorator and get the modded file back to aero.msstyles and replace it in C:\window\Resources\Themes\Aero\aero.msstyles
Logoff or restart to see the changes...
Hope this small tutorial will bring a smile to you........:)
