Of course there is a solution my friend... don't give up. Contact directly (through IM) one of Alwil guys (Vlk, Igor, pk or someone else), and point their attention to this thread, although I'm sure that Igor is already interested in this one, because we all can see that he already replied once...
There is always a solution, there must be... if something needs to be changed in code, then no other thing to do than change it. I'm not sure, but I don't think it should be such a great deal to make those color values non-fixed. It looks like they are "locked" somehow, so you are not able to change them as we can see from your screenshot, you did with other applications... text color that you see in avast! menues right now, is not acceptable. There must be a way to change that in code...
Alwil team, we have another very happy avast! user that needs help. Darellb is very happy avast! user (as we all can see), he doesn't complain at all... he just said he would like to be able to change those color values... nothing else. I think we should at least try to make this happen...
Thanks to everybody for interest in this thread !
Cheers !
