Modifying a build-in theme (Visual Studio 2012 Dark) for Winforms

[Ashley]

Hi

I want to modify Visual Studio 2012 Dark theme for Winforms. The color
of the form text (header text on the top) is gray which is hard to read
sometimes. I want that one to be white colored. How can I achieve that?

Thanks

Hi Ashley,

Thank you for writing.

You should change the fore color of the TitleBarElement in Visual Style Builder. The attached image shows where you can find this element. 

In addition the following articles are very useful when you need to edit the predefined themes:

• Using custom themes
• Loading Predefined Themes

Let me know if you have additional questions.
