Isn't there an option to change it in Personalize? I'm using W8 RP, and I can change the text size only, not the color.

RP in this is same with RTM

It can be done. Try this:

1. Go to Personalize

2. On the bottom, the second "thing" is your current Color option.

3. Click the word "Color"

4. The Color and Appearance comes up. For "Active window title" there are two options, Foreground (text) and Background (ummm... background)

Change the Foreground color for the Active window title to something other than black.

PS: I did some testing by switching to the High Contrast color scheme. No combinations of colors I could changed allowed me to see the menu bar items (without hover) in Internet Explorer.

do you have RTM? because colors and appearance looks like this:

(note: I do not using high contrast themes)

I see what you mean. It appears those specific color options only appear when you have a High Contrast theme selected...

this looks like bug to me.. because darker themes have border unreadable
