Anyone know if it's possible to change status bar font color?

[Black Baptist]

And if so how?

[Kelly]

Hmm, never checked into that one. I would start here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors

BB..
You can change the color of STATUS bar by RIGHT clicking
an empty spot on your desktop and selecting PROPERTIES and
then click the APPEARANCE tab and then click the ADVANCED
tab.. Then click the drop down menu under ITEMS and select
3D Objects... Change the lower color to your choice, but don't
use PURPLE... NOWTHEN, this will only work if you are using
WINDOWS CLASSIC view. It will also change the color of the
Toolbar text buttons and the 3 items at top right side of window.

I didn't say it would change the color of the toolbar, I said the
TEXT on the toolbar and on the status bar... Just to clarify..

It can be changed via the .msstyles file (this I'm certain of). I don't =
think it can be changed via control panel/registry (as far as I know).

What?!?! You won't just take my word for it?!?! ;-)

OK.....here it is:

ResBuild (my preference) or ResHacker is needed to view/modify the ..msstyles file. The uxtheme.dll patch is needed to use modified/unsigned .msstyles files.

Assuming all that is in place :), the following example is based on the luna.msstyles file:

The .msstyles file has the following resources:

├───Bitmap
├───COLORNAMES
├───COMBODATA
├───FILERESNAMES
├───MINDEPTH
├───ORIGFILENAMES
├───PACKTHEM_VERSION
├───SIZENAMES
├───String Table
├───TEXTFILE
│ ├───EXTRALARGEBLUE_INI
│ ├───EXTRALARGEHOMESTEAD_INI
│ ├───EXTRALARGEMETALLIC_INI
│ ├───LARGEFONTSBLUE_INI
│ ├───LARGEFONTSHOMESTEAD_INI
│ ├───LARGEFONTSMETALLIC_INI
│ ├───NORMALBLUE_INI
│ ├───NORMALHOMESTEAD_INI
│ ├───NORMALMETALLIC_INI
│ └───THEMES_INI
└───Version Info

each of the FontSizeColorName_INI files is a text file with the settings for that particular size/color combination. To be consistent across all size/color combos, the change needs to be made in all nine of these files.

In each of the files, locate the following section:

[Status]
SizingMargins = 50, 17, 5, 9
ImageFile = Blue\StatusBackground.bmp
bgtype = imagefile
imageCount = 1
sizingType = Tile
FillColorHint = 236 233 216; Average fill color (beige)

In this section, add a line with the following format:

TextColor = 255 0 255 (that's RedValue GreenValue BlueValue. This example sets the color to magenta :)

So you should end up with:

[Status]
SizingMargins = 50, 17, 5, 9
ImageFile = Blue\StatusBackground.bmp
bgtype = imagefile
imageCount = 1
sizingType = Tile
FillColorHint = 236 233 216; Average fill color (beige)
TextColor = 255 0 255

When all changes have been made, compile & save the modified .msstyles file, then double-click it to apply.
