WB 7.3 Win8 Metro skin small font color problem in left pane

Issue with font color in left pane

October 14, 2011 3:28:59 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Not sure if I'm the only one with this small problem on this nice skin. Some of my system windows have a white font over a light background and it's hard to make out some links in the left pane. You can just barely make it out. Is there a way to fix this please?

Same problem here.

Already reported.

and reply by Neil Banfield (Stardock):

"This would be the vista part colours.  In particular the control panel ones.

I understand a couple of colour related issues were spotted with this skin and there will be an update to it soon."

Neil, I have now downloaded it through the store and through Impulse, and am a fully subscribed ObjectDesktop member - I don't see a skin called Metro when I open up Windowblinds. Does it come in a different name?

It's just called Win8 Metro under the visual styles.

Uninstalled the Impulse version and downloaded from the Stardock store fixed the font issue as well as the left side opening menu's.

Running the latest version available in the store (7.30.047) on Win7/64 and the text is displaying properly on Win8 Metro.
