black selected values in Registry Editor since Win10-TH2

[blaubart]

The font color of highlighted/selected values in Win10 TH2-regedit has changed to black
And/or the background has changed to default Explorer.

I have lightened the backgrounds a bit in
Explorer & Shell > Explorer > ListView > ListItem

but that's no good solution cause in a dark theme they are also used by many other lists with white font color.
Hoping Mr. Grim would have solved it I tried his "Windows Black Edition" but same result, highlighted regedit values barely readable.

Any idea?

You can't change that black textcolor

[blaubart]

Too sad...
Since Mr Grim gave us some colored taskmgr.exe's in his extras I'm still dreaming of a new regedit.exe?

Though the Registry Editor is something really existential I can't believe that all dark-theme users from now on will see darkness using regedit?

I don't think messing with regedit is a good idea. But I could be wrong.....

[blaubart]

..tried the 10240-regedit in 10586 already, does not even start.

There are some freeware regedit alternatives, just trying O&O RegEditor - seems to be ok on dark themes.

[Mr GRiM]

did you try with the regedit.exe.mui file as well?

[blaubart]

You're so right, no I missed changing the regedit.exe.mui file.
I anyway had not the best feeling doing it I thought like changing the 3 dll is enough for a time...

I realize this thread is old but this is still relevant in RS2
If you have a textcolor at Lists,Menus &Tabs>Listview>Listitem>Selected
Remove it
Then the select text color in regedit(and many other programs,like Winrar and 7zip)
will be themeable from Fonts & System Metrics>highlighttext

Did not work here. Do you have a RS2 Theme without that issue?

I think the regedit black font color if selected must be a default color of Windows: Just to find that out my theme is completely without black (no #000000 to be found in color search).
So always if I find a 000 picking colors of a screenshot I know that this black is not coming out of my (findable) theme colors.

I wish somebody or Mr. Grim could find something to change it in shellstyle.dll?
Just checked in his RS2 Black Edition - still no solution, too sad

p.s. next try

In my theme Lists,Menus &Tabs>Listview>Listitem is entirely empty, no enty at all.

May be your other entrys there make it work?

[gsw953]

It works for me


I just remembered I don't use any solid black fill colors,I use 0,0,1 instead of 0,0,0
I have used this for a long time,even in Windows 7 themes because 0,0,0 caused some conflicts on certain things.
maybe that will help.

In this theme it should be working,that's what the screenshot is from http://gsw953onda.deviantart.com/art/Obsidian-for-Windows-10-Creators-Update-683352816

Yeah even In default it's back to highlighttext again like it was in 7. Not sure when it got changed back:

Ah seems to be back to highlighttext since 1703? I did not upgrade yet cause of many reported issues in my preferred video apps.

gsw953's Obsidian in 1607 still shows this, regard the select-line is not only on the name but goes straight through all:

Time for you to upgrade
