Writing the globals to the applied .theme file make it stick, I'll add [Control Panel\Colors] to the next WSB so it'll stick. Though you'll need to apply the theme in the control panel manually until I find a way to do so automatically. I'll get a release out today after I get back home.

Awesome! Thank you so much!
==================
@3am Thanks to you too for trying to help me. I really appreciate it.

Sorry for the questions. Just making sure lol

It should be Fonts & System Metrics > WINDOWTEXT:COLOR

I just tested it on a test msstyles. Tested, Installed and the color stuck on reboot. So it works for me. Don't know what to tell you. Sorry

=========================
hehe
yes i set windowtext:color to grey. still got problem.
thanks anyway. i just hope someone can help me though

How are you applying your theme?

============
LOL
ofcourse clicking the theme on personalize. the problem is when i restart the pc or logoff and logon, the font color turns back to black. it must be grey.
on wsb it's grey not black.

If you open the .theme in notepad is there a section named [Control Panel\Colors] ?

If so make sure your colors there are the same as the colors you changed in WSB because these will over-ride your changes depending on how you apply your theme

You really don't need this section in your .theme file as long as you have WSB anyway.

===================

Yes i'm using wsb 1.5.4.4. I'm sure i did all font colors correct. 'cause when i'm testing the theme on wsb, it looks like what i want (font color) but when i restart my pc, it turns the grey to black.
I can't see [Control Panel\Colors]

font color is grey. but when i restarted my pc, it turns black. I'd like to make it stay to grey color (inactive).

Windows 8 (for Testing Purposes Only) -> Status Bar Separator -> 1 - FILLCOLOR:COLOR

Cool! Thanks thomas (seahorsepip)
about taskbar, some icons are hidden and some are not hidden.

Is there a way to remove that icon?

you're right. i hope there's a trick to change it separately on explorerbg and statusbar
