I want to change the look of my menubar, apple symbol and font color (in the menubar). What elements in themepark do I need to change?

Themepark is useless unless you have shapeshifter. I'm trying to create my own theme but there's so many different elements and i'm having trouble finding the ones that alter the menubar. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Your Welcome

I just remembered I forgot to mention that if you change the text color and click preview the text will remain black

Well thank you for your advice, it worked perfectly for what I asked. I actually neglected to say that I really only need the menubar propertiees of the powermetal 2.0 theme with the rest of the aquapro theme. I have tried setting my theme as aquapro in themepark, saving my file, then setting my theme as powermetal 2.0 (in order to get a new theme with different elements) and opening a new theme in themepark so I could just copy and past elements from one file to another. This however has not worked. When i try this method, both files have elements from the "current" theme... w/e it may be. Any help is appreciated. Sry for not being as specific as needed.

Not a problem

1. Make sure themepark is closed
2. Go to shapeshifter and apply the powermetal 2.0 theme
3 Open themepark
4. Go to file, then new guiKit package
5. Go to themes
6. Click add name your theme what ever you want
7. Go to /Elements/Global Elements/Menubar and Menus
8. Go to Menubar Fill and select (highlight) the menubar element
9. Next go to theme in themeparks menu and click merge with installed elements
10.Repeat for Menubar Caps
11. When your done save your theme, then export for shapeshifter
12. Name your guiKit than save
13. Open Shapeshifters Preference Pane and add your guiKit

If you want all of the menubar

select (highlight) the Menubar and Menus
Next go to theme in themeparks menu and click merge with installed elements
