Help with text location Please

[ONE MAN ARMY]

So I am almost done with this recolor of Grims Zero-G theme. But I noticed that when watching VLC media player and using the drop down menu's the text is black on black making it impossible to see unless highlighted. Here is a pic of what Im looking for. How to change it ?

That text doesn't seem to change on Windows 7 mate, I can get it to change on Windows 8 though

Just went to check that again and found it was only on version 2.0.2 but if I changed the compatibility mode to Windows 7 or updated to the new version it was the same as it is on Windows 7

So does this mean I just have to leave it how it is. I mean I had to change it somewhere along the way. I just cant remember. Im such a noob. Somtimes when im running through WSB I just get in the zone and start changing text colors not really thinking of where the location is Im changing. lol

The trick is you have to changed the background of the text
fonts.colors & system metrics>fonts & system metrics>btnface:color
but it will changed other places as well

Ok so I checked out that location. and yes it changes the menu color for the drop down list, but Where the heck is the location for the text in that menu. I just would like to make it blue or white. So it is readable. The menu being dark is fine. I changed it a little and you can see the text a little bit but there has to be a location to change that text color!

As I said mate, that colour must be hard coded in VLC, I have checked every theme I have and the text is black on all of them and I have always hated not being able to change that and tried changing it in the past, as a result I have always had to use a lighter background colour to be able to read that text.

Ok Grim Sorry I did not understand earlier. I will just lighten the menu color then. Thanks again and Sorry that I did not understand earlier, Thus making you repeat yourself!
