Doesnt sound like a WB bug to me
Sounds more like the Vypress application handleing the text colors in a differrent way than other applications does
They are a some applications that does that.

oh it could be that the application is the problem but still when using other skin programs it doesnt have that problem so it must be something whit wb

Try an alternate skin....more than likely it's specific to one or more skins...but not necessarily all of them...

I am guessing that you are having the problem with darker skins that use lighter text for system colors.
Try a lighter skin that uses dark text and you should be fine. You might contact the author of particular skins you are having trouble with so they can correct the bug.

The best way to sort the issue is e-mail Stardock support. They tend to contact the creators of apps that don't play nice with WB, and try and work with them on getting the two programs working together.
