How to change all Programs background color in vista
Monday, May 12, 2008 by RobJK | Discussion: Skinning
The white that is behind the tree view folders when you push all programs.
I have been trying to figure out how to do this forever! I know it can be done because there are lots of skins that have it changed. I have been searching thruogh skins and such for a while. I just dont know how to do it and it is pretty frustrating. I am sorry Wincustomize and everyone that I post so much. I just keep haveing so much trouble. I really feel like I am posting way to much. I will try to tone it down for a while. No I wont try I will. I can just wait till my skin is closer to done and then make one post of a few questions? Thanks for you pateince with me and I really hope that someone know the answer?

Sorry can't edit.... that section is for the program list. Do what I said, but change the color on Menu highlight.

Rob i answered this for you in a PM remember? 
Anyway.. don't think there is a limit to posting, dn't think anyone will mind if you ask questions about skinning, it's the reason we have a forum.
Best way to find a color in a skin is to color pick it and search the code for that color.

You were right the first time. It is the button face Dialog back color.

Open Sks 6.
Go to change skin colors. Click on the drop down menu and select show me the skin defined system colours. Button face/dialog background is the section you are looking for.
Hope this helps!
