windows blinds

Monday, August 19, 2002 by Dominique Nguyen | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I was just wondering if there was a way to exclude a program (like microsoft word) from being skinned like all the other windows... I like the colors and everything, but i just don't like 'em in word... the background is dark grayish with white font.. I'm just so accustomed to seeing the paper white and the text black that the inverted colors are getting to me... if its possible to change it without changing everything else... lemme know... thx

You can exclude the program, or you can customize the backgrounds. If you have windowblinds 3.4 you can open your properties window, open the appearance section, click the advanced tab and customize the window and font colors how you want. OR you can exclude Word entirely by opening the configuration utility, then opening the per application section. You will find a browse button that you will be able to use.

3.4 is a new release and it gives you more control. You might want to upgrade if you can.
