Hardcoded color values for TabBar

With a theme other than the (blindingly) bright default Windows theme, the text on the TabBar could become unreadable. It would be nice to change the color values within the IDE!
Common.pb wrote:;- Some predefined color values
;
#COLOR_FilePanelFront = $000000 ; text color for FilePanel tabs with non-OS color
#COLOR_ProjectInfo = $D5ABAD ; color for projectinfo tab
#COLOR_ProjectFile = $D5ABAD ; color for files in project
#COLOR_FormFile = $9EBA9E ; color for form tabs
#COLOR_FormProjectFile = $BDBB97 ; color for form tabs inside project

Which software do you use for custom dark theming ? Just switching to dark Windows doesn't change the IDE color here.

Hi Fred, I'm still on Windows7 with UniversalThemePatcher enabled, the theme is called Placebo Ashtray.
Although slightly customized (Window borders, Scrollbars, Checkboxes, ...) it still uses its default color scheme. The text front color of the TabBarGadget in the IDE is the only place that causes troubles (Common.pb #COLOR_FilePanelFront = $000000 ; text color for FilePanel tabs with non-OS color).
