Change color of inactive taskbar elements without changing window text color?

Im trying to have the inactive elements in the taskbar more or less the same color as the taskbar. I found out that the inactive elements in the taskbar use the Window-Text Color of the color sheme, at least in the color shemes i tried out, the problem is if i set that as the same color as the background color which the taskbar and the windows have, i of course cant read the text in many places. is there anyway to give the inactive windows in the taskbar an independent color?
