How do i change the following colours?

Wednesday, June 9, 2010 by foehammer2003 | Discussion: Beginners

Hi, Been using WB for years but come accross an annoying problem...

In the pic i have circled three areas that i want to be able to change the colour of, so then i can use a white font, but even going through all the individual colours through WB settings i cant find it ( i was changing each colour to brught green to one at a time) took me ages and im no further forward.  Plus how do i change the system font but it not affect IE? i.e if i change the system font to white thats fine but then i use IE to browse tinternet and cant read anything because its all white text :/

I'm using WB7 on Win 7, using the naked noir featured skin

Anyway some help would be awesome!

Thanks!!

That is a problem that has yet to be resolved, and is the bane of many Windowblind creators. There are text colors that can be changed, but screw up something else when you do, and text that cannot be changed no matter what you do. Figuring out what you can live with is the key.

1. Edit Start Menu and Tskbar/Edit Start Menu/Top Part/Extra Setings Tab/All Programs List Background Color.

2. Edit Explorer & IE Shell Parts/Search Field Background.

3. Edit Controls/Edit Scrollbars/Horizontal (or) Vertical Scrollbars/Background.

As the skin is using glass, you might want to make use of the glass scrollbar sections.  That way you can have semi transparent backgrounds to your scrollbars in those IE windows.

I'm guessing the shareware version on SkinStudio will suffice?
