weird WB4 color problem...

Monday, July 28, 2003 by SteelyBoy | Discussion: Stardock Software

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?

your set skin color option may be on.

Meaning the "Change skin colour" feature where you can choose any color? If so, nothing there is checked, but I'm not sure if they should or shouldn't be. If that's not the option you're speaking of, can you please point me in the right direction? I'm kinda new and not familiar with most of the features yet.

Thanks.

Maybe You played with 'gamma adjustment' ?

C242-

You were right. It was a gamma adjustment thing. It wasn't adjusted in the actual WB4 config app...but in the little box in the display properties under the appearance tab.

Thanks for getting me to explore those options.
