here it is:
I meant the background labelled "1". If someone also knows how to change the color of the vertical bar (2) that would be perfect!

my mistake on number 1, i looked at the wrong thing.......could be windowbackground colour?

hmm, the window backgroud color acts only on the right part of explorer (in Vista). For XP both sides are skinned by it. And that´s why I´m asking here. For you guys from stardock, are you planning to fix this for Vista or am I totally wrong, and there is already a way to change that color (or background image)?
For Number2: it´s actually the resizing bar for the folders area. To my opinion it´s a little huge in Vista, but anyway, again, are there any plans to make it skinnable?
This all sounds like I´m unhappy with WB-SkS-Vista, so at this point I have to mention, that up to here the people from Stardock have done a great job on Skinstudio adapting it to Vista within a rather short time - there are really so many new features in Vista - and many of them can now be skinned by skinstudio, that´s great.
But also, there are several things left to do
P.S.: due to the things mentioned above I´ve only made bright WB skins for Vista so far, dark skins really can´t be made perfectly and all dark skins out there are somehow just a compromise (to my opinion)...

Neither can be skinned or fixed until it is added to SKS.
