Common tasks text color

One part of skinning that I am currently trying to master is the "common tasks in folders" area , it is located within a shell of a win xp theme . Usually it runs verticaly down the left hand side of your folder . as you can see from this screenshot it is now at the top of my current theme in progress .

Now for the problem .... As you can see the text is a pale blue and not visible enough I need to change it to something darker.
The "shop for music online text also needs to change .
Any idea of where to look , what string line ect would be appreciated .

Cheers :)

foreground is text color
background is background :)

blocade 'panel' is; when you go into your windows folder you can see "hide the content of this drive" in common task. that is the barricade / blocade msg on/off switcher.

last.good folder (in windows folder) can also contains dll's for backups.

The reason I could not save it succesfully was because I did not change the shellstyle in windows\servicepackfiles\i386 where windows also keeps a backup copy.
