Favourites Menu Problem in WB5

Favourites appear in white font - hard to read

from Stardock Forums

Hi, I am having a weird problem with WB5 running on WinXP.  When I apply skins (Blackcomb and iSkin) they are applied to everything and look gorgeous.  However, the Favourites appear in white font while all other drop-down menus appear in black font, as per the skins' design. 


White font makes it extremely hard to read the favourites titles.  I've gone through all the menues in WB5 and WinXP Display Properties>Appearance and can't figure out why the Favourites would have the items displayed in white as opposed to all other menus displaying their items in black.


If I unload WB5, then the Favourites menus show up in black font just like all other menus in regular Windows colour schemes, but that sort of defeats the purpose of using WB5


Any help is appreciated.

Did you purchase Windowblinds or is this the shareware version?

Full version, not the shareware.  sTonEbLuE, yes, the problem appears when I click on the Favourites menu in either Internet Explorer or standard Windows Explorer window, the first two items "Add To Favourites..." and "Organize Favourites..." appear in normal black legible fonts while the actual items from the list of favourites below all appear in white "omg, i'm going blind!!!111" font.  Frankly, I have reached the end of my wits here.  Any suggestions, anyone?

Remain calm....lol. Hopefully someone will come by and have the answer. I looked in Skin Studio but could not find the setting. But I am not that familiar with it....sorry.

Igor01 ....

If you run the Blackcomb Dark UIS2 it's much easier to see. Maybe that's just the way that sub skin is....

The beta builds of WB released since 5.0 release resolve this problem and this should be released as a non beta build in the next few weeks.
