I'm not sure if there is way to do this via scheme settings. Result 1 from google works, and I believe the 2nd result works too (the old app from annoyances.org post). You could run the app, and check what changes are made to your system maybe. Good luck

For your problems with text being black as well as the background: try changing the values of "ButtonText"="0 0 0" and other with referring to text to green/white/or something.

Thanks!

The result 1 works fine but and I think that color chaning must be done with some program. It may not be possible by changing windows registry.

Google black text with black background is still my biggest problem because it takes the backcolor from "Window"="0 0 0" registry. I cant change it or else it dramatically changes my theme by adding white areas to gui. I still cant find where to change font color to green but it cant be done by [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors] settings.

The grey area in full list view is still a problem and I dont know where to change the grey color to black.
