Hi there. This is almost the perfect theme for me. First of all, the start menu selection color makes it so hard to see which icon i'm looking at. Because the color is too close to black color already. Can you make another version or teach me how to configure the color?

Example when I hover my mouse over My Computer in start menu, I hardly can see which one I was selecting if I sit a bit far away from my monitor. I know this can be done by configuring the contrast, but I didn't want to mess with the contrast settings since it's perfect for other applications.

Secondly, in Media Player Classic, the Alt menu are in white some part and doesn't match with the color of the windows.

^^ You can change selection color using Appearance tab in Desktop Properties.
