Text Color in the Main Control Bar - Changeable??

In X1 Studio I'm finding that the Main Control Bar (normally at the top of the screen) has text labels for items like Icons, Performance, Loops, and Punch In/Out and others.  Unfortunately the text is too dark to read against the amazingly dark backgrounds.  I have changed some colors and tried the various presets but I can't find where the text color in the Control Bar is managed.

Does that exist or am I just missing it?

    If you missed it, I did too!! Came to this forum for the answer after prodded around a bit -- no luck!!

    The only workaround I have is to turn up the contrast of the display --  find it helps a bit to put the control bar at the bottom of the screen but I would REALLY like a proper solution please

    If you are refering to the Control Bar Module Titles, they are part of the Module graphic and are only changeable by using a resource editor.
     
    If you are refering to the Control Bar Module value text (the blue ones), they are embedded within the SONAR.exe file.
    Currently someone is working on an editor to access these but it is still in beta testing.

    Yes, I am referring primarily to the Control Bar Titles (eg, titles for Loop, Performance, Punch In/Out,...) and the text labels below the main icons (eg, Smart Tool, Select Tool, Move Tool,...)
    They are all a fairly dark grey on a almost black background.  Not really readable.

    I took at look at some of Panu's mods (suggested in post #3 above).  All I found were skins (I think that's what they were).  I saw a screen shot of a wild one he did and it had green text titles in the Control Bar.  I guess skins can do more than the color options editor.

    Thanks for the info,
    Larry
