Problem rendering a button

Bad colours

As mentioned before, I have an issue with the rendering of my navigation bar button:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/q6vs8ao9va9ha0w/Button.jpg?dl=0

It is a Visual C++ MFC application (MDI) and Microsoft Visual Style is "Office 2007 (Black Style)".

The Windows Blinds theme is "Ice".

If I use "Lantana" the text is visible:

So maybe it is a skinning issue with "Ice" itself. But white text on yellow background is never a good idea.

Is there any update on this?

The skin is ICE by Danioc and I can't find it in WinCustomize anymore.

How do I fix this rendering clash of yellow background and text colour?

Generally speaking this occurs when a developer makes the error of using either a system colour or theme colour for text but not also using the related colour for whats under it.

In this case I suspect Ice is using a white titlebar text colour for system colours and that control incorrectly assumed that colour would always be black or close to black..
