so those are also controlled by the windows desktop settings. um?
but they still don't change when clicked on in monkey or when moused over in monkey.

but if you look at the image he shows of the skin editor you will see the control button.
clicking that will show you a test version of the skin in a small working program.

when you check them header fonts on that control. they change to the selected color.
but in monkey they just stay the same as the nonselected color?

that is what does not make anysense?
because the fonts are changed by the ones i found on the skinning engine

i had known the menu bar changed with the desktop but i did not know these headers was also messed with by that too.

did you change your selected color on these header fonts by changing the message color for the desktop?

:-?

It's not just the headers it is also the fonts on popup menu such as options tab that is controlled by the message box font color but all the rest can be changed through the theme editor which I have done already.

I can change the message box font color and make it look good on dark skins in MM but it screws up windows text as it makes the fonts white on white unless you run a dark theme on windows.

I really think this is hard coded into media monkey as all skins I have tried have this same behavior. As long as the skins are light colored it's not a problem but when you use a dark skin such as black monkey you can't see alot of the text because it's black. The header and popup text in media monkey needs it's own code so you can change the font color for use with dark skins. I can make skins but coding is not my best asset...lol

Couple of my MM shots to show the difference below. first is normal black text. Second is where I changed Message box text to white.

yep that is what i was thinking too it is hard coded?

which is why i just tryed to make all the font's that did not change on the skin to be on a light color background on my skins i made.

contrasting does come in handy some times. :lol:

I tried to Google Themeditor V4.41 but only got this forum. No location for download or purchase.
