Navigation bar button fonts

[Nick]

Hello. Can anyone help - is it possible to change the
font colour on navigation bar buttons whan using a MS
theme? I can change the font type and size but there does
not seem to be a way to change the colour. Any
suggestions appreciated.

Howdy.

You have to supply a new button picture.

Thanks for the response - I'll give it a try. Can I take
the original MS theme button and modify it using a
suitable program?

Sure, but they're a bit hard to find. They're packed inside a file
that has an .elm filename extension, at

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\THEMES11

Usually, the easiest approach is to grab a button from your existing
site and erase the title. To make this easy, add a temporary nav view
item (or temporarily rename an existing one) with a "name" of only one
character.
