Default Image

Replaced Image

After replacing image, black line is fixed

I figured it out myself.
Posting for those who are searching for this. Hope this helps.
Copy the first underlined path and search it in the WSB search (Classes, parts & states) for easy finding


1. (Drive space text color normal mode)

ItemsView -> Details -> Property -> TEXTCOLOR
DarkMode::ItemsView -> Details -> Property -> TEXTCOLOR

2. a) (Drive letter name text color when selected/highlighted mode)

ItemsView -> Details -> Selected -> TEXTCOLOR
ItemsView -> Details -> Encrypted Folder -> TEXTCOLOR
ItemsView -> Details -> Encrypted Folder Selected -> TEXTCOLOR
DarkMode::ItemsView -> Details -> Selected -> TEXTCOLOR
DarkMode::ItemsView -> Details -> Encrypted Folder -> TEXTCOLOR
DarkMode::ItemsView -> Details -> Encrypted Folder Selected -> TEXTCOLOR

b) (Drive space text color when selected/highlighted mode)
ItemsView -> Details -> Selected Property -> TEXTCOLOR
DarkMode::ItemsView -> Details -> Selected Property -> TEXTCOLOR
(this will also change color when select folders, files when it is in Tile/Detail view)


NAVIGATION PANEL (LEFT SIDE) TEXT COLOR

1. (Text color when normal mode)

ExplorerNavPane -> TEXTCOLOR
DarkMode::ExplorerNavPane -> TEXTCOLOR

2. (Text color when selected/highlighted mode)

Explorer::Treeview -> TreeItem -> Selected -> TEXTCOLOR
Explorer::Treeview -> TreeItem -> SelectedNotFocus -> TEXTCOLOR
DarkMode_Explorer::Treeview -> TreeItem -> Selected -> TEXTCOLOR
DarkMode_Explorer::Treeview -> TreeItem -> SelectedNotFocus -> TEXTCOLOR

OK Mate, First Go to, Fonts Colors and System metrics at the top of the tree and select the Default text color you want for all the Windows here

88146
Then go to both the Light Mode and Dark Mode settings and select Explorer and Shell, Then Explorer open it up in the tree and go to Items View and select Items View and open Details in the tree and all the propertys your looking for to change should be there for Light Mode
88147
Now do the same for the Dark Mode settings
88148
Now the Nav Pane Color settings are at the bottom of Explorer for Both Light and Dark Modes
88150
and there you go, Dave senior made this guide before Dark Mode was Introduced The Info is Correct, You only thing you have to figure out where it is, you will find Some of Both Light and Dark mode settings in the Default settings as they are shared by both Light and Dark Mode .
I hope this sheds some light on it for you Basicly there are 3 Areas to check.
:peace:Cheerz!!

The drive name in normal state gets the colour from:
Fonts, Colors & System Metrics > Fonts & System Metrics > WindowText:Color

but the colour property used when you select a drive is here:
Explorer & Shell > Explorer > Items View > TextColor:Color & Windows 10 Dark Mode > Explorer & Shell > Explorer > Items View> TextColor:Color

Now the details text colour properties are here under:
Explorer & Shell > Explorer > Items View > ItemsView > Details > Details Text & Windows 10 Dark Mode > Explorer & Shell > Explorer > Items View > ItemsView > Details > Details Text

you'll find a whole tree of the text colours in different states as is selected or hot, etc.

WSB asks for a key88247:unhappy:Yes you must buy a key from www.vistaStylebuilder.com (http://www.vistaStylebuilder.com) and use that to activate Windows Style Builder for W10 they use the same keys only Vista Style Builder only works on W7 if you want to use it to, I payed $50 Australia and it was well worth it.

OK Mate I had a look at it and changed some of the Text in Explorer and the windows text color in the system metrics in Dark Mode and it works fine, you have to change the text colors in Explorer in several places to see it in both Light and dark mode.
Anyway tell me if you want want all the text colors changed or what areas and I will do it for you from my end and send it back.

OK, all text. Good luck!OK Mate, This is how Explorer in Dark and Light Mode I couldn't make it all Green without using some of the Light mode settings as you can see in the screenshots as they use some of the same locations, When you said Color all the text colors do you mean for Both Modes and do a total recolor with the Start menu and Control panel because that will take me faira while to go tru the whole theme, although It is possible to leave The Rest of Explorer in light mode so the Green is only visible in the top of Explorer and the menus like in the screenshot? Anyway I will leave it like this and wait untill I here from you again. I hope you like it Cheerz!

OK mate I see whats up, you cant change the Inherited propertys from there you have to add some propertys or find the location's defautl property's that it inherits from and change it there, its a wonder you can change it at all when I accidently try to change them it crashes to protect the settings.
I dont know what BSC is either I think it has a Base Aero msstyles loaded I dunno.
Anyway have a look in the Styles for them Here they are
