Title: How can I change the text colors of dialogue boxes?
Post by: gtjgtj on October 14, 2011, 04:27:37 pm
Hi, I'm new here  :)

My Star Trek LCARS Style for Win 7 is in progress in this time.
(look here: http://www.gtjlcars.de/LCARSindex/GTJLCARS_Win7-Style_Entwicklung.htm (http://www.gtjlcars.de/LCARSindex/GTJLCARS_Win7-Style_Entwicklung.htm))

Now I have a question that I can't find an answer for. Here in this good forum I also can't find the solution.
I hope someone can help me.

Here' the (first) Question:

How can I change the black text color in dialogue boxes? And can I change the font too?
The gray background will be coloured in black later. All the texts in this grey areas have to be another color as black  ;)

I'm looking foward for your answers.

Thank you

1-For the tabs,add a textcolor:color property here:
Lists, Menus & Tabs > Tab
If you want different colors for hover etc add the text color to the tab states,hot/pressed... ,you'll  find them all under the above location.
eg:  Lists, Menus & Tabs > Tab > TopTabItem > Hot

2-To change the textcolor next to the check boxes add a  textcolor:color property here:
Buttons, Boxes & Controls > Buttons > Button > CheckBox > UncheckedNormal   ..and to the other states underneath, hot,pressed  etc.

3-For the  Combo boxes,add a textcolor:color property here:
Buttons, Boxes & Controls > Boxes > ComboBox > ReadOnly > Normal  

4-For the Pushbuttons,change the textcolor here(you can add a textcolor for hot,pressed as well):
Buttons, Boxes & Controls > Buttons > Button > PushButton
You can try adding a font:font  property at all the above  locations but it sometimes cuts  part of the text off.
 The black text in this picture can't be changed:

That is a pity  :'(

Can I not change the black text on another place of Windows - outside of the WSB?
If yes, where I can do it?

Or can I underlay the text with any other color such as those with yellow? Then I have black on yellow, this would be OK....  :-[


@davesenior: Thank you very much. That will help me to change any texts at least. I will try it very soon.

No. If you want to see that black text you can't have a black tab > body.
