StarDock - Cannot find menu bars that are not the focus

from Stardock Forums

I just came back to windowblinds after 8 years or so.

Now the menubar is skinned differently when the program is not the focus.  I need stardock to let me edit it, because I have black text on dark grey graphic image.

Thanks for any help,

glenda

Which skin are you using and in which application are you having this problem?

Hi,

I am using a skin I uploaded, FredIsMine2017

and all applications, when you switch from one, the skin makes the buttons dark, but the text is black.  I want to fix it with SkinStudio but I can't find it.

thanks,

glenda

I have Googled trying all names. Can't locate such a skin.

As a 

skinner best thing I can advise you is open SKS and start trying changes. Open "change skin colors" Look for any text that is Dark or Black. I would guess it may be one of two but not knowing what the skin is so I can try it no way for me to be sure. Change the Buttons text to White and apply then check. If not try the Window Text - Menu Text. and so on. Depending on what program you may be having a problem with sometimes you have to close and open the program after the change to see any affect. 

Basically without having the program or WB you stated it's a trial and error thing.

It must have needed to be updated please try again, as I see it now.

The menu in upper left shows how dark the menu line is when not in focus.  I admit it might be due to my contrast setting on the graphics card.  However, I do want to fix it by lightening up the text.
