I tried changing every black or white value in WSB but none worked so I guess I have to add property, but where?

Many thanks for this, Bongo. Everything looks so much better. It's weird that feeling you get when you get an answer and you think how obvious it is... after getting it that is.

Still a few things I need pointed out though. I already changed the text to something brighter for everything else but the details view text remains black for the System32 folder. Where do I edit this?

The text on the Run window also seems to be a bitmap because it's still covered in white. This isn't that important but if it's no trouble pointing it out it would be good. Also I'm puzzled how I missed that grey tab on the rightmost side of the details view tabs. It isn't that important either but it sort of sticks out.

Text colors:

Fonts & System Metrics > WindowText:Color

Explorer & Shell > Explorer > Items View > Items VIew > Textcolor:Color

Explorer & Shell > Explorer > Items View > Items View > Subheader > Normal > Textcolor:Color

Grey tab on the rightmost side of the details view tabs:

Toolbars, Headers and Rebar > Toolbars & Headers > Items View Header

Run:

Download and extract the zip folder put the Stylehack in
C:\Program Files (x86)\AveApps\Windows Style Builder\StyleHacks folder.

This Stylehack will give Fonts & System Metrics > Btnface:Color as the background for the Run Dialog text.


When you apply the hack:

1
Import the images, later you can edit this image at Explorer & Shell > Shell > TaskDialog > PrimaryPanel.
2
Remove the fillcolor property from Explorer & Shell > Shell > TaskDialog > PrimaryPanel
3
Add the fillcolor property to Explorer & Shell > Shell > TaskDialog > ContentPane

These didn't change the color in the System32 folder details view text. They were all already modified. How come the text is different color in the system folder anyway?

Go to C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\Aero\Shell\NormalColor and get a copy of shellstyle.dll and replace the one in your theme.
