SkinStudio 10 - where is hyperlink color set ???

from WinCustomize Forums

I'm using a theme called Knot Aero, dating back to 2010...

I'm using the dark green preset; it is a lovely theme, except that the hyperlinks are in dark blue against dark green background, thus almost unreadable:

I tried modifying it in WB Modify style interface, but can't find the appropriate field.
So, I switched to Skin Studio, but I have two issues there:

1. I don't see how to select a preset in SS10

2. I don't see where to edit hyperlink colors

Could someone give me a pointer on this??

Later note: 

I went in with a color picker, and found that the hyperlink color is 0,0,192 ...
There are *no* fields in the WB "Modify style" interface, that are anywhere near that color.

I wonder if the hyperlink color isn't controlled by WB at all?? (at least in WB10, which is what I'm using)

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. It look like Derbar is using some other color for its links. Here is what I get when I change the hotlink color. The filezilla link change to hotlink.

Perhaps someone else can help with some pointers.

Thank you.

Interesting... I get the same thing as you get, in Filezilla's About dialog...

I'll have to go back and look at that dialog in DerBar again - though afaik it is using standard WinAPI calls...

HAH!!!

perhaps it is *this* line ?!?!?!

<pre>SetTextColor(hdc, RGB(0, 0, 192)); </pre>

<sigh>
Okay, I know what to do now...

case closed...

Code: c++
  1. SetTextColor(hdc, RGB(0, 0, 192));

If there are any other WinAPI programmers who are curious about this issue, I fixed it with this:

Code: c++
  2.    // SetTextColor(hdc, RGB(0, 0, 192));
  3.    COLORREF fgnd = GetSysColor(COLOR_HOTLIGHT) ;
  4.    SetTextColor(hdc, fgnd);
