How do I change font color inside e.g. properties box? (img attached)

[digvoo]

I've uploaded attachment.
Can't change black text into white.
I've tried every option under "Advanced appearance settings" but it is still black.
And also, I've checked out this link -> How to Change the Window Color and Appearance in Windows 7

Is this a third party custom theme? If so post a link to it and I will look at it and let you know.

It's Zune theme. I used Windows Theme Installer v 1.1, UniversalThemePatcher-x64 and StartOrbz Studio 3.1a (ORB Changer). HowTo and all of the links are on this youtube link:
How to get Zune Theme for Windows 7 [2011] Mediafire Links - YouTube

Thank you in advance!

I looked at that youtube page and follow the link to this page Zune QuickPlay for Win7 by ~giannisgx89 on deviantART is this the theme you installed? If so you have something else going on, here is what I get from that same property window.


And I also tried on the default arrow theme and I was able to change that property window text color here look at screenshot.

[digvoo]

Yeah, that's the one.
I did that, but font color is the same even with another (default) theme. Take a look:

 

[Bongo]

I see you get a transparent border on your property window and mine is solid, have you made any changes to that theme?



Here is the image for the top frame.


Jerry

 

[digvoo]

Yes I did.

 

[Bongo]

What changes did you make and how did you do it.
Jerry

 

[digvoo]

In "Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Personalization\Window Color and Appearance" I enabled transparency, maybe changed Color intensity a little and that's all.

I can do the "theme installation" again from the beginning, but I'm not sure if that's gonna help.

edit: And is there some easy way to bring all to default state? Is changing to theme I previously used a way to do it?

 

[Bongo]

I would switch to the default Aero theme and then log off and then log on(you need to do this or you cannot delete the theme folder) and go to C:\Windows\Resources\Themes and delete the Zune Quickplay theme folder and the Zune Quickplay.theme file and re-downloaded and install the theme folder and the .theme file again.
Jerry

 

[digvoo]

Ok, I'll do that and let you know if that solves the problem.

 

[digvoo]

Did that, but problem is still there.
When I installed the theme and applied it, there was red info at the bottom of program (see attachment). I restarted PC after it.
*I can't change font color in message box even if I'm using Aero default theme.
Here are the steps of re-installing:

 

[Bongo]

Goto C:\Windows\Resources\Themes and maximize the window and post a screenshot, also open up the Zune Quickplay folder and post a screenshot of it to. Here are two examples of what I would like you to take screenshots of.

[digvoo]

Here are the screenshots:

 

[Bongo]

Everything looks fine from the 2 screenshots.
Zip up a copy of the Zune Quickplay.msstyles I have highlighted in red and posted here so I can look at it.
Jerry

 

[digvoo]

Zune Quickplay.rar and preview of uTorrent (I can't see details columns). Other programs are affected too..I mean, I'll change the theme but that's not the point.

 

[Bongo]

The Zune Quickplay.msstyles looks okay.
Let's try something here download this theme Browsing Windows 7 Utilities on deviantART



put the 2, 1 theme folder and 1 .theme file in C:\Windows\Resources\Themes do not use that tool/app you have that you used to install the last theme do this manually,


then go to Personalization and start that theme and post a screenshot of what it looks like.
Jerry

 

[digvoo]

Ok, here are the screenshots:
*btw, pretty neat theme

edit: I added one more capture of "run". Does it look same like yours?

 

[Bongo]

That's good it looks like it installed correctly, my run box looks the same as yours with this theme.
That means something's going wrong when you install the other theme.
Do Option 2 of this tutorial http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html it will not harm any data or programs you have installed it will try to find and repair corrupt system files, If you have changed any of the system files like explorerframe.dll or use the program to change your start button they will revert back to the default also the files that were patched with Universal Theme Patcher will also revert back to the default you will need to re-patch after running sfc /scannow.
Then manually put the Zune Quickplay theme folder and the Zune Quickplay.theme file in C:\Windows\Resources\Themes (be sure to delete the old ones first, remember to switch to the default Aero theme and logoff and logon first).

I did the sfc /scannow twice and the message I got is in screenshot. I also attached logs. First one is before, and second after restart.
Should I go to OPTION THREE now?
Or maybe do that manually step now?
