Title: Resource Monitor text not showing!
Post by: JMB on December 30, 2014, 11:54:22 am
Guys, this is weird....  :S

Even though I have the color @ Fonts, Colors & System Metrics > Fonts & System Metrics > WINDOWTEXT:COLOR set (a light color, which should show on the darker bg of the menu), it's not showing at all!   :(

(WINDOWTEXT is the same color as BTNTEXT)  :|

As you can see,  Explorer & Shell > Explorer > ListView > ListItem > Hot is showing, but still no text....  :'(

I haven't tampered with the resmon.exe or anything else that I can think of which would cause this...and everything else looks as it should. Just the text in Resource Monitor is messed up.
I was just about to start modding it. Opened it, and noticed the missing text.   :o

Any help would be appreciated!  :)  (so 3am, since you're usually the one coming to everyone's--including mine--rescue, this thank-you-ahead-of-time is probably for you!)  ;)

Is this your Path theme?

I just tested it and I get the right textcolors:

So it must be something wrong in your system file edits. I'd look there if I were you.

You've got a lot of system file stuff. I was looking for wdc.dll but didn't see it. That's got a lot to do with ResMon

Anyway check out your system file stuff. Problem has to be there somewhere

Huh. I just went back and opened ResMon while testing your msstyles and this time got the same as you:

EDIT: I found the problem. It's your blank font at Fonts & System Metrics > CaptionFont that's screwing things up. Change that to a regular font and your text will show up  :)

I wonder why Uriy1966 (original theme-maker) had the Blank font there...In 8 and 8.1 it's good, but not a big deal in 7, right. Guess he wanted it thataway. Oh well, glad that's solved!

And thanks for letting me know about the New Library window, I hadn't noticed it yet.  :)

 ;) Fixed and updated:
