Icon font colors??

I've gone into the advanced options for changing fonts, but I still can't seem to get the font colors to change. When I load different windowblind themes I get either white or black for the fonts, but with some of my backgrounds black is hard to read and I want to change it to white.

Also, how do you get the backgrounds of the fonts to be a solid color instead of transparent? I used to be able to do this by setting active desktop on or off, but now it doesn't seem to make a difference?? At least with a solid color behind the font it would be easier to read my icon fonts.

Using win2000pro, windowblinds, icon packager.

Thanks
