How to skin buttons in IE?

November 16, 2007 3:14 AM from

I am not sure where IE is picking up the font color for the buttons. Elsewhere I have used this button but the fonr color is white for normal. On IE, it is black. How can I fix it?

Some text on buttons are hard coded and cannot be changed. I believe the buttons above are hard coded.

That is unskinned button text color.Whenever it dosnt work well with a button I just dont want to change...I disable 'enable visual styles on buttons and controls in web pages' in the advanced Internet Options tab.

Hi James, i was meant to answer this last night, but had internet troubles, changing that font colour you go to miscellanious (in skin studio)

then to colours/3d colours :TEXT SYSTEM BUTTON

This is the colour you need to change to make your font colour match to the rest......

hope this helps!!

That will also change text colors in lots of other areas of a theme more than likely leading to more undesirable results.. don't forget that

Don't forget to back up your skin before trying this.

Thanks Kitty. I will have to lighten up the buttons a bit and change the font color to black everywhere. Thanks for the warning vStyler. I used SKS6 to modify the skin but I have a backup uploaded.

In SKS5:
Miscellaneous->Colors->3D Controls->Text - System Button.

There is only one setting though.
