I made the background color of my dialog boxes black. I can't find an option to change the color of the font so I can actually see the titles. There has to be a way, right?

There is currently no way to set the title text color in Windows 8.

The title bar color settings are stored in 

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM

There's no option to change the title text color. The only way to do that is to enable High Contrast Mode and then manually change all of the colors in 

HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\Colors

Please check this page out. It appears that most of the options are gone from Wino 8 and so they resort to Registry changes

  • Run regedit.exe to edit your registry.
  • Navigate to the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors\. It has all the colors you need.
  • titletext is the one you need particularly. The 3 numbers are expressed in (Red,Green,Blue) format.

Edit: This page has more information. Turns out there two other paths which might be relevant

  • Control Panel\Desktop\Colors\
  • Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics\
