Need Help with Reaktor - GUI

First off, let me apologize; I'm new to Reaktor, as in only-started-last-night kinda new, so I'm sorry if these seem like somewhat obvious questions. So, into my predicament. As you may know, in Reaktor, you can't change the text color on your GUI. That doesn't break it for me, of course, but I would definitely like to stick as much to my dream design as possible, so, are there external GUI designer type programs I can use with Reaktor, so my ensemble remains the same and the same controls are present but I can change things like text color? Honestly, aside from being unable to use a black background, I really don't mind the default Reaktor look, I rather like the panel elements as they are and the font and all. So really, if there's a fix like changing a line of programming so text is dark red or something, and I don't have to do anything else, that'd be perfectly fine for me. Thanks in advance.

In that ensemble there is a custom text trick (check the panel elements for "Kick One"), you can design your own style in photoshop and cook up your own version but you will have to study this from the example. I don't think anyone has hacked Reaktors code to get custom text but that would be interesting.
Your second question is less clear, you will have to post a picture of what you're trying to do but I suggest burying your head in the manual and factory patches for awhile and figure most of the simple stuff out on your own.

Yeah, I've been playing around with it a bit and found out something that did exactly what I was looking for, so it's ok.

Sadly, I don't have photoshop. I'm not sure if I could use something else. I'll look your link over and see if I can find anything out.-

Hmm... What about Knobman and Skinman? I've never used them, so I have no clue; anyone know if either one could help me?

cook images with your text in whatever color you want, place that in reaktor. done.
(you can use even ms paint for simple coloured text, lol. if you want something more powerful and free, paint.net is cool)

Very much worth learning Knobman. It can do not only custom text labels but also gradient transparency and custom text controls to use for menus.
