Windows XP Taskbar
« on: March 08, 2009, 10:12:37 PM »
I've hit a bit of a stumbling block in my editing of the Windows Explorer shell. I need to know how to edit the font color of the text that appears on the buttons in the Taskbar, but I can't figure out how to do it. Google has been exceedingly unhelpful so far, with all the advice I've seen so far having been for older versions of Windows or else giving various errors whenever I attempt to apply it. Anybody have any advice, or a link to someone who does? Let me know what system specs you need, if any.
So you end up stuck in an endless loop, unable to act, forever.

In retrospect, much like Keanu Reeves.

Right that's turned up a lot, but that doesn't work outside of Windows Classic for some unknowable reason. At least not as far as I can tell. I'll look into windowblinds.

My bad. Looking back at my original post, I didn't specify that.
