Changing URL color in addressbar in IE8??
-
hello guys...im running Windows 7 and IE 8 is my default borwser. I have come across a strange problem. I have changed my theme and now the URL color and the backcolor of the addressbar in IE 8 are same, black. Well I can manage because a small windows open while writing the URL, you know, but still it would be better if I can change this color scheme. thanx for ur thoughts

I imagine IE is fairly limiting when it comes to this sort of customisation. There may be an option somewhere to change the font (and/or colour) of the URL bar text, but it is highly unlikely. And IE probably uses DLLs for themes, so you can't easily change the background colour that the theme set. If you were using Firefox, however, you could easily open up the css file of the theme in your profile directory (<app_data>\Firefox\Profiles\<your_profile>\extensions\<the_theme_id>) and change the colour there. Or better yet, override it in your userChrome.css.
