Hello WC and thanks for stopping by my page. Look forward to more submissions in the near future.

When used with text showing... the taskbar buttons display incorrect text color sporadically.

 

Example, a skin like Corporate that has black selected \active buttons with white text... the fonts show incorrectly as dark instead of white over the button, rendering it almost invisible.

It doesnt happen on all buttons and it doesnt happen all the time, its rather intermittent, however, it makes skins with this type of button color\ text color config virtually unusable.

You may have to use a skin fror a while, open diff apps etc to get it to do it.. or... it may do it immediately after one apply.

It is also showing light text on states that should be dark.. like its completely confused.

Major bug imo.

I have verified it with other skinners on diff. systems and skins.

 

Cheers.

That kind of naked running is why the forum database got corrupted!  The poor server just couldn't cope with what it saw.

The problem is the OS supports just one text colour on the taskbar buttons and so WB has to add the others in and apparently something isn't working quite right in all cases.

I am tied up this week, but I should get some time next week to look into this and the other reported WB skinning issues.

any word on this, sorta hard to move forward with new themes until I know what will be possible regarding taskbutton colors.

..and its not just me, this affects all skins while using uncombined buttons.

Its hard to be creative when you have to have each state the same color.

This should be fixed or at least much improved in the next update.

BTW if you ever got the wrong text on a button then that isn't a WB issue, thats an OS issue.  I have found the Windows 7 taskbar to be a little unreliable at times though usually its the wrong icon on a taskbar button.

After updating and roughly an hour of use, this issue seems to have been fixed.

 

Thank you Neil.
