You would need to ask the theme maker to change them for you I could do it but it's not cool to change someone else work. I use Ave's Windows7 Style Builder it's the only way I know how to change text colors.

For the

"Right Click Menu" transparent

Click to expand...

I have used http://www.moo0.com/?top=http://www.moo0.com/software/TransparentMenu/ watch out for extras when installing.

You can join there forum there is a link on their home page and there is all kinds of tutorials and maps for locations.

To change the text color in Explorer go to
Fonts, Colors & System Metrics > Fonts & System Metrics > WINDOWTEXT:COLOR click on the color and the color window will open.

So ... I used Windows Style Builder as Jerry said to change the most of Windows Explorer fonts color and I also used the "Moo0" stuff for Right Click Menu transparency and I feel like heaven ... Right Click Menu transparency it's a little bit weird cause I wasn't expecting the text to be also transparent but everything went OK thanks again to Windows Seven Help Forums. Thanks again guys, everyone who answered !... all the best ...
