WindowBlinds 10 and Outlook issue

theme i applied has made email messages pane unreadable

from Stardock Forums

I applied a theme ( Distant - by IceBabee ) and seems to work fine except with Outlook. The messages pane is filled in with the theme color making the text unreadable and I'm not sure how to fix this. The rest outlook, like the email list on the left side and rest of application, is not affected. 

Tried playing with some advanced options in WindowsBlinds 10 with no effect. 

running win 10 pro x64 on Surface Laptop.

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having trouble.

Does it happen with stock skins?

If you exclude OL, does it still happen?

Not happening with a default theme selection enabled. I noticed this is happening in word docs as well with distant applied. Guess ill have to just exclude these applications. 

 

thanks for the response.

I was more interested if it happened with the stock skins that install with WB: 'Corporate' for example.

not happening with any stock skins. Also, i added outlook and word to excluded list and does not prevent the issue from happening even after restarting the machine.

If you install any skin that has a dark Explorer background forget any Microsoft office product. When making a WB if the maker makes the Explorer what ever color it will always control Microsoft. 

I use Office often and no matter how dark I may make a WB I don't make the Explorer BG that dark.

You change that image and or color lighter you can have the rest of the skin dark except for the Explorer BG and use Office. Note Win 10 you want to go into SKS/ Change skin colors/show me the skin defined system colors. Make where it says "Explorer background (Win 10) and Explorer folder bar background (win 10)
