(How to) Change Windows Text Colours in the Shellstyle.dll

**placebo81** · March 14th, 2011 06:48 AM

Hi

Is there a way for the fonts in windows explorer items view and navigation pane to use other color than the windowtext color? When I set normal state font color in itemsview and treeview it doesn't do anything. Is there a way to change it? If not in msstyles, maybe in shellstyle, or explorerframe? Thanks.

OK I am done, there seems to many other similar properties to the ones I am changing but I can not see where it's taking effect so I will just stick with the places I have found.

No worries guys, it was a joint effort between Placebo and myself, he found out it was possible by changing all of the properties, I just found the exact lines to change.
