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

There were supposed to be some new tutorials released with SKS 6.2 but for some reason they seem to have been delayed. I will find out what is going on with those.
The Vista specific colours and fonts are a very new feature which is why there is currently no documentation on them. This will be improved in future SKS builds.
If you do have a specific problem then your best bet is to e-mail me directly.

So why are these colors not directly editable from the sections they are pertaining too?
Such as editing the shellstyle(taskpane) in XP...you set the colors for that entire section from one section of the tree.
Why lump them all into one area where you cant even see what they are affecting?
Dont you even have a master list of what these colors are?

The specific problem is WE ALL want to know what all the colors are for...do you really want ALL of us emailing you individually when you could show everyone right here.

WB on vista is showing some amazing promise...but some issues are really hard to overlook.
Reply #27 Wednesday, August 13, 2008 3:13 PM
Fixed and new colors added to the Task Dialog Buttons (also edited wiki page)
I got to agree with IR, we ALL want to know... if you know what these colors are please by all means fill us in on the ones we are missing :/

I just finished up a document covering these parts this afternoon. Once it has been checked I will see about getting it put online.

Just in case nobody noticed, the list of Vista colours and fonts now have descriptions in SKS6
Reply #31 Tuesday, September 9, 2008 4:27 PM
I noticed that once you change one entry's color in a section the descriptions disappear for all the entries, Only way to fix seems to be clicking revert to defaults.
