Theme Text Color Constants

A constant of type ThemeTextColor identifies a particular context in which text is used. You can pass a constant of type ThemeTextColor to the function SetThemeTextColor to specify that the Appearance Manager substitute whatever the appropriate text color is for a given context under the current theme. You can use the function GetThemeTextColor to obtain the actual color in use under the current theme for the specified ThemeTextColor constant.
