bad colors on Start Menu items?

Sunday, July 11, 2004 by tealfan | Discussion: Stardock Software

Hi all. Any idea why the colors on my Start menu are all screwy? I hve the latest ObjectDesk and I'm using Apallo's Nucleus WB. Small screenshot: http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v255/tealfan/Temp/start_menu.jpg

Thanks in advance.

Hiya, if your refering to the blue mouseover on the all programs, try re-applying the skin, some skins leave a residue from the previous skin here. If it's still blue, then there's a classic color setting that needs to be fixed in this skin through SkinStudio.

Thanks. Yup I can get rid of the blue mouseover (as well as the beige residue in the submenu) by re-applying the skin. Thing is, I have to do it periodically. Oh well.

Just a thought....check to see if you've got the latest videocard drivers and/or unload Windowblinds...ie...load up the classic windows from the display properties menu, then reboot, then apply the skin. Sometimes on my PC, the shellstyles will get stuck as the original Luna Blue XP, if I change skins too often and that usually fixes it.

I'll try that when I get home. I definitely changed skins a lot when I first got ObjectDesktop.

I've tried all of the above, but no luck. I can get rid of the blue on the All Programs item by reapplying the skin, but not the beige that keeps popping up here and there in the submenus. I guess this skin has been around awhile and it's having compatibility problems with the current version of WindowBlinds? Oh well. I can live with it until I change skins again.
