There are many limitations as to what you can and cannot change Onklifiziert, the white text cannot be changed at all, no way to do it. The black text is controlled in the colors section of SkinStudio, you need to play with the colors in the Edit Vista/7 part colours for the rest. I haven't even figured them all out yet. Also, the icon text color should be changeable in the dropdown, Show me the skin defined system colors, and Window Text color. At least it is in XP, never had a need to change it in Vista or 7 personally.

Ok thx gmc2, where can i find these option in SkinStudio to change this part of the startmenu?

You have to make the start menu graphic from scratch yourself to do so.

@LightStar: you did an awesome job on this blind and now i know how hard it is to create a WB

..how to change following color (see screenshot)

(SkinStudio is just in english and that is my problem, so sorry for asking so much questions)

you can if you make the graphic transparent.

There is no graphic for the part he's referring to in his screenshot. What he's referring to is the "All Programs list background color" which is chosen from the "all programs background" in the extras tab in Windows 7/Vista, and it takes the place of the start menu popup menu for all programs in XP.

Regardless of how transparent the start menu itself is, this part will not go transparent.

how does one change the white vertical separation?

Edit Explorer/IE Shell Parts-->Edit Additional Vista/7 Parts-->Additional Explorer Sections-->Left Hand Line.

Those are the progress bars. You can change them at Edit Controls-->Edit Progress Bar Controls-->Horizontal Progress bars-->block.

Very nice!

The black font can be changed at Edit Explorer/IE Shell Parts-->Edit Vista/7 Explorer Parts--Explorer Info Pane-->background-->Extra Settings.

The white part is here: Edit Explorer/IE Shell Parts-->Edit Additional Vista/7 Parts-->Additional Explorer Sections-->Top Area on libraries (I think).

thanks Karen for the clarification and location to change that white line, very current info.

I have a ton of bookmarked threads in the forums because I can't keep it all straight in my head all the time.

So, there is one more problem. the selected font color is blue and i tried to change it in the skin colors options but it may be wrong.

Make sure you check the box that says "enable to use the color settings below" - Text color 2 is the one for the explorer info pane background on my system.

As for the text on the ListView selection image that you're showing in your last screen shot...I have no idea where to change that color. Sorry.
