How do I change Highlighted items text colour-Win7

[Heretoask]

Hello, first post for help here. So I have been using a custom theme for windows 7 and that includes changing the highlight of an items colour. In my case it turns orange but the problem is the text colour when selected, being very hard to see against the orange. How would I go about changing the colour of the text thats highlighted?(screenshot attached)

Thanks in advance

Navigate to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Personalization and follow the diagram below.

Hello , Thanks for the reply however changing the "selected items" colour in windows colour and appearance only affects text that is highlighted and not folders or files

Well that's not right is it?
I would think your theme software would have options to do that. I'll see if a theme expert can help you, he's offline now though.

Here is the link to the theme, Snow Kombo by =kiko11 on deviantART and also the orange highlight thats been added from another theme, Maverick Maverick for Win7 by ~dpcdpc11 on deviantART . I have taken these images from theme 2 and replaced them with the first to create the orange highlight using Resource Hacker/Style Builder.

Here are the locations for those text colors (look at screenshot)
Red text
Fonts, Colors & System Metrics > Fonts & System Metrics > WINDOWTEXT:COLOR (this will change some other text colors to)

Green text
Explorer & Shell > Explorer > Items View > ItemsView > Subheader > Normal > WINDOWTEXT:COLOR
