Hello

Many tabs, primarily in dialog windows, the tabs and the text are both black, which of course, makes the text invisible. Any chance this will be fixed in the future?

I can fiddle with the basic appearance settings in windows to force the text to appear, but this also affects other items in this skin, since windows does not provide enough flexibility to control only certain text.

Some examples of the tabs that are broken are:

Any form in Outlook 2003, such as adding a new contact or task.
Options windows in Firefox AddOns
Option windows in QuickBooks 9 (latest version)

I hope this post helps with information for potential fixes.

Noted. There are always issues with dark themes and secondary, non-default applications. I'll mention this to our resident themer and we'll try to steer away from dark tabs when we can. Thanks for the information.

Hi there, i have the same problem and i bought flagship and gammaray. it's a very annoying issue cause it makes the themes pretty much unusable.
isn't there anything chance to fix these tabs ? spend quite some money on the themes but with this issue can't use them at all.
make the tabs grey or any other colour but black. i recon the tabs are black with these skins and the font within the tabs white. but this isn't working with all apps and then you have black tabs with black font..

There is absolutely no way for us to test every application out there for compatibility schramme.

I will tell our resident themer to lay off the black tabs in future themes if at all possible. If it makes you feel better, the upcoming Star Trek: The Original Series theme is black but uses grey tabs :-)

hi, yeah i know it not possible to test all apps, but since this issue with black tabs and font is a known issue with all skinners and theme makers in also diffrent apps you guys should consider the possibility of changing tabs color within the theme selector. you guys always have 3-4 skins to chose, like the gammaray it's with grey, all black, grey mixed black etc, why not use grey tabs in the greyish layout. it's just that i spent 40 bucks and acutally i can't use them now.
quite some friends asked me about the theme but i can't recommend it that way which is sad, i really like all the rest u guys do.
when is the startrek theme coming ? i'm not really a fanboy of captain korki and spucki with skotty and schrotti but well yeah if it looks cool why not.
it's just a pitty u guys can't fix the tabs in the flagship or darkmatter series cause then it would really make sense useing them?
isn't it possible to update those themes without dark tabs, shouldn't be such a hassle overall ? it's just the tabs then repack the theme and there the update is.

thanks anyway for the prompt answer

kind regards

Hi,
I've bought then Darkmatter: Trilogy Pack.
With each theme, with dark option, I have the same problem: black tabs, with black font... unusable!
In e.g.: with Mozilla Firefox Addons, in particular Wizz RSS feeder. With QTTabBar (explorer extension)
Could you send me the upgraded version? My XP version is not in English.

Thanks in advance
