Friday, October 10, 2003 by metalusion | Discussion: Skinning

the theme i'm using is cobalt corona in window blinds and also desktop x is on. the programs photoshop 7 and painter 8 now have dark blue backgrounds which is not good for me. it should stay neutral grey. does anyone know how to undo the skinning for these apps? i tried the per app. setting and chose photoshop exe and selected the don't skin option (window blinds) but the color in the app window is still dark blue???

Thats because programs are still getting their color assignments from the skin.You can either edit the skin with Skinstudio and set the colors to what you want ,or open WB config and under basic settings,uncheck 'use skins color scheme'.You may still be stuck with those colors until you change skins or unload WB and restart.WB has a tendency to use some of the settings for color from the last session.A reload usually clears that up.

just to follow up i unloaded the skin which revealed a color setting hidden in the display properties box.
