 Post subject: Classic Taskbar?  Topic is solved
PostPosted: Tue Aug 19, 2014 6:36 am 
My coworker got Windows 8.1 and is heavily complaining about white text in the task bar. Is there a way to get black coloured text?

Thanks!

Unfortunately no, the text color can't be changed but the Taskbar can be made a darker shade from the Personalization Control Panel.

More unfortunately, the taskbar colour is bound to the window title colour, that has black text.

That is fixable. First install UxStyle from http://uxstyle.com/ (Don't worry about the possibly bugged warning). Then install/apply this theme:

Classic Shell 4.3.0 now lets you customize taskbar color and taskbar text color.
