 font-color of the explorer text

1.

in normal is controled by parameters on shellstyle.dll

[first save the shellstyle.dll of your visual style that you want to make the modification to a safe folder]

Open your shellstyle.dll to someother folder with resource hacker,
select view , find text and writte : <if id="atom(clientviewhost)">

then : see values to look like or something like that if i remember well

-----------------------------------

<if id="atom(clientviewhost)">
<ViewHost
foreground="themeable(ARGB(255, 0, 0, 0), windowtext)"
background="themeable(ARGB(255, 252, 252, 252), window)"
sortcolumn="themeable(ARGB(255, 252, 252, 252), window)"
subtext="ARGB(255, 139, 139, 139)"
animation="rectangle|s|fast"

-------------------------------------
change the parameter

foreground="themeable(ARGB(255, 0, 0, 0), windowtext)"    to  foreground="themeable(ARGB(255, ---, ---, ---), windowtext)"

---   is the rgb color you choose, for example    89, 89, 89  , 

so will be  :   foreground="themeable(ARGB(255, 89, 89, 89  ), windowtext)"

Then  select again view , find next and again replace the <if id="atom(clientviewhost)"> as many times this exist.
then select compile script, and save it.

Then replace  your shellstyle.dll you have on your visual style on:

C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\[folder of your visual style]\\Shell\NormalColor\shellstyle.dll

there is am alternative method using a modified shellstyle.dll by me and control the font color parameter from vista style builder from : Fonts, Colors and System Metrics > Fonts and System Metrics > WINDOWTEXT : COLOR  ,  see  http://vistastylebuilder.com/forum/index.php?topic=20.0 (http://vistastylebuilder.com/forum/index.php?topic=20.0)

i have spent 2 years and not found how to have white color when mouse over as the sustem dont accept any changes on code or trics[exept if there is something not known from us,]

i have only made a modification [which i do not use on my visual styles] which gives white text glow to the black text font-color of the explorer text. http://vistastylebuilder.com/forum/index.php?topic=20.0 (http://vistastylebuilder.com/forum/index.php?topic=20.0)

[see on word Shell of the current folder on image the glow arround it.]
