Laurence...
re: your solution for MS Word. It works for the Web view, but not the page view. Go Figure! Would it be worthwhile posting any of this over on the WB newsgroup to see if Stardock has a clue? Thanks again for your effort!

You could try, but it probably wouldn't be worth the time. It's not a bug in WB, but a design features in the MS products. Having white on white is a design fault, but Word is simply using the correct assigned colours. The fact that these colours do not correspond to the output is an unfortunate result if you want WYSIWYG. Personally I like that it does use the correct colours, but I agree that MS should have provided an override.

Just change your button text to a dark color and you'll be ok. I have the problem in a lot of MS apps also
as well as XML Spy. They are using the Button Text color for the Window Text.

ddyson: Yes - unfortunately the buttons are dark, so that kinda messes up everything buttons. 
Gregory: Either do the above and live with the button text being non-white or don't skin the calculator (exclude powercalc.exe). Or get MS to fix it so that they either use the right colours or override *all* colours.

This is just *the best* blackcomb skin, and a wonderfully done skin altogether. Excellent work.

What an incredible skin this is. It seems to work perfectly with fussy apps like Photoshop - and the colorization plus the new features make it one of the most complete skins I've seen. A must-have for anyone that uses Windowblinds... Thanks!

My favorite skin.....any ideas why the locked taskbar moves the bar up from the bottom leaving some desktop showing?

Found the taskbar issue, sorry for thinking it was the skin. I found it did it with all skins, and only when Windows FX was setting the taskbar transparency.

I love the sh!t out of this skin. I just installed in on my 2k box at work, and I'm going to put it on my XP box at home.
I love dark skins, and this one is the best.

Love this skin, don't keep most for too long, but this one will be gracing my machine for quite a long time. Found a slight bug in the Win Media player auto hide task bar, but nothing major. Great work!!

I got a strange issue with the start menue with Blackcombs.
If i press the start button and the menue appears, there seems to miss a imagefile.
The line over the start button with the arrow. the graphic only goes to the arrow. after the arrow there's just plain blue. I use WB 3.4
Maybe you can help me.
if you have any further questions on the problem or a solution for it than please e-mail me:

Laurence (you, not me
A very partial solution to the Word problem may be to open normal.dot (you have to right-click and select open - make a backup first) in
C:\Documents and Settings\{Your username}\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates
and go to Format/Background/{select white} and Format/Font/Font Color {select black then Default...}. Close and that should be applied to all future documents. However this only works for me in the Web view and may not work at all for you. MS has made some incorrect assumptions (or perhaps decided that if the user wants blue backgrounds he should get blue paper).
I'm not seeing the white on white outline view problem here with my version of PP so I'm afraid I can't help you with that other than to suggest that similar methods (changing the background or foreground colours from Automatic) may work. Good luck.
