Weird Windows Blinds Color Problem...
Monday, July 28, 2003 by SteelyBoy | Discussion: Skinning
Not sure if it's the software, my computer or just way to much coffee, but I've noticed a color problem with WB4. When browsing thru all the different skins I have in the WB config tool, all the skins in the upper window are much lighter in color than the lower picture showing just the top bar of the skin. For example....the XP copper skin shows a rich copper color on the detailed lower picture, but the upper picture showing an entire skinned window is a light orange....and when I choose to use a skin, it's the lighter color that loads. Is this making any sense? So...all the red skins turn out pink, all the dark blue are light blue, all the white are really hazy without defenition, and so on. I don't have any other application running like WinFX or any transparency apps running either. In fact, I've unloaded everything except WB4 and my skins are still really light and kinda hazy colored.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

I once accidentally left the 'force custom-color' option on, and for the life of me couldn't figure out why the colors were so screwed up. Took a few hours of aggravation before I figured it out.
