No idea, so change to my 'Green Skin' instead

For seriouse: Probably due to the text color. It das only happen with this skin right? I am not sure if YOU can do something about it, due too the fact that font color is something the author of the skin selects.

Yes, just with this one...so far. When I go into my Yahoo mail I can see first the RE: but nothing showing. If I click on the mail via clicking next to RE: it goes to the piece of mail, but I cannot see any of the lighter text. I lost Boxxi's E-Mail address.

it probably has to do with the text handling cross Windows to Yahoo...

You might want to change font size in Yahoo or even the font to try and trick it into displaying it so it is cohesive... ?

If you find one of Boxxi's skins, his e-mail address is listed. I did it, it was easy. Why not just type "Cogs" into the search, and locate the skin and get Boxxi's email address. It's not my email address, so I don't feel right in posting someones personal email address.

Well, I could not find his E-Mail address as suggested, but I did leave a comment. Odd, apparently not many folks are using Cogs + have a Yahoo Mail Account. I thank those for responding. I will get it.

If you click his user name on the skin, his email address will show.

Hi Ronald... This font problem sometimes occurs when a skin author sets the font color to white because he has made a dark background for the skin. This is true for Cogs. But, you CAN change the font and the color in ANY WindowBlinds skin by right clicking the WB icon in your system tray, choosing "configure WindowBlinds" from the pop-up menu, and then go to "User Overrides" on the left of the window, then look for "font overrides" where you will be able to change font, font size, and font color too.

Sorry I didn't reply sooner, but I have been working hard over the holiday period, and haven't had much time to use the computer.

I followed the steps to this point: "...where you will be able to change font, font size, and font color too?. I was unable to find where to change the "color" within "User Overrides". That part (color) did not seem to be there.
