SKS6 - 'Edit Vista Part Colors'
a partial list of what they are
Tuesday, May 27, 2008 by SKoriginals | Discussion: WindowBlinds
ok.. so i just recently noticed the 'Edit Vista Part Colours' in SKS6 under the 'Change Skin Colours' and though this (recently?) added feature is already proving (to me at least) pretty cool, its not actually 'labled' what each color is for.. just the RGB of the color.
So, I started a list of what the colors are and where they apply. However this is only a partial list as I could not determine what some of them actually changed.
If you can figure out what the missing colors (the light gray italiced numbers) are then by all means fill it in, I'll check back periodically on this thread to 'complete' the list as more items are found out as to what they actually pertain to... so... here is the list as of 8-13-08

just wish I could figure out the others but through changing and testing each I'm not too sure what those missing ones modify. Hopefully others can help fill out the list

SK can you do a UI comparison to find it and then maybe do a listing in a note for future reference?<p>

I edited the picture and also found another color.
1=havnt seen yet
2=default choice
3=havnt seen yet
4=pressed
5=mouseover
6=normal/inactive window
7=havnt seen yet
I had to hit refresh before the image would change...was showing the old one,probably stuck in IE's cache.

Should have said Normal text/non default button or inactive window(all buttons text go this color)
The way I said it sounds like the button is inactive(disabled).
Which leads me to believe for the buttons either 3 or 7 is disabled.
I havnt seen color 1 yet...what dialog did you see it in SK?
Reply #16 Tuesday, August 12, 2008 8:16 AM
And color 18 is some info/warning text...dont know what to call it.Its black by default.

Yeah that ones a little 'obscure' so to speak. Its the default highlight color. When you open a Task Dialog window there is usually an automatic default control that is already highlighted. This default will fluxuate and in its highlighted state (closest I can think of to call it). This color will show for the text as shown below...
Reply #19 Wednesday, August 13, 2008 12:15 AM
and just for looking...alt tab changed from its default black.
Reply #20 Wednesday, August 13, 2008 1:35 AM
Its hard to believe these are not labeled in any way in SKS...its rediculous to be expected to set these colors and have NO idea whatsoever what they do.
Retarded as hell. 
Would it have killed somebody to name these...maybe even an example of where to see them in Vista?
Typical that skinners have to provide their own info and no one from Stardock provides ANY help.
