The device manager font, the IE address bar font, IE favorites list font all show up white/blank. Also, when i rename the file I can't see the current name.

I am using the Tran's'pace Black theme. Please see the attached screenshot.

For me the device manager font is fonts+system metrics>windowtext:color. It is also the main window text in VSB. Maybe IE too. Change the color + see what happens.

That helped; however now I see this in some other places, I have tried changing different colors but at the end it only gets worse:

hmm all the text doesn't appear, because it is in white color
the solution is difficult: i wanted to add a glow effect for the text in explorer (white text and gray glow)
the problem is with change in the dialogbox for example, the text and the glow effect are both dark, the result is not very difficult
to resolve this "bug" i had to change the color of this text in dialogbox in white

It is the only compromise i have found: add a glow effect for the explorer, and reduce the dark effect for the text in the dialogbox

but this change causes another problem, like yours

problem only in this visual style, because others don't use the glow effect on explorer:
if you want to realize yourself the change, go to font, system metrics, and change windowtextcolor (for the text) and windowcolor (for some background),

or you can also remove this glow effect, go to Explorer & Shell > Explorer > ListView and delete all properties added

i've just searched in font and system metrics, without success for the moment, i changed all the color available to purple to see, always the white background, sorry,
hope others VSB users can help us

i guess we change a FILLCOLORHINT: property, something like that

I have a black Device Manager with Sysmetrics>Colors+Fonts>Window:Color ( the text is WindowTextColor:Color). But NEVER use white as Window Text Color or you'll end up like me a couple of weeks ago writing a post in this white box and not able to see anything I was writing Shocked. Always use a light or medium gray.

Finally after a lot of testing, found that the Device Manager background is actually at:

Lists, Menus & Tabs > TreeView->FILLCOLOR
