Changing Desktop Color in Existing Skin

Wednesday, May 24, 2006 by MOrmerod | Discussion: OS Customization

Hi

I'm using the 5imple Alpha skin, but for some reason I don't see how I can change the standard desktop color from blue to black. If I change it through the Desktop Settings, it gets over written when I reboot. So can anyone help me know how to change the desktop color on a permanant basis in the skin itself.

Thanks

Daiwa

Get SkinStudio if you don't have it. It's a free download from Stardock.

Open 5imple Alpha in SkinStudio. Go to the "Classic Colors" Section & change the desktop color there to whatever you desire. Save the skin, then reload it or reboot. That "should" stick.

Nope. Unless the skin doesn't work then just leave it alone.
