You will need to download SkinStudio from software tab if you do not have it. Apply skin, right click on WB tray icon, select edit current skin. In skinstudio Explorer bar, open controls open menus select pull down item, on the right of preview picture open text colors set normal and next 3 to 00 color, will be in a drop box below preview when select one of the text color settings. Save then reapply skin. You will have to do this for any of the subskins of this that you use. Finish one then at top of skinstudio is drop box to select others, will have skin name in it, when finish the subs just save then they will be ready next time you use them.
I have had this skin for some time now and never noticed this, mind you is use FireFox so I don't even remember what links are in my IE favs.
