So I just got my new laptop with Windows 8 and contrary to the popular opinion of the product on the internet, I like it a lot.

But I just have one problem: the taskbar where the time/icons are is light grey while the text on top of it is white which makes it really difficult to read. I have googled this to death but can't find a way to change the color so I'm wondering if anyone has an idea of how to do it?

If it's not possible to change it in Windows an outside app would be fine too.

 

If it's what I think it is: http://www.withinwindows.com/2011/04/06/windows-8-secrets-aero-auto-colorization/

That should fix it.

 

Wow, it's that easy. I spent like twenty minutes on it before I gave up.

Thanks!
