Changing the background color on folders?

Wednesday, September 25, 2002 by MyIdeaWasTaken | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

How do I change the color of the info bar on the left of folders in XP? You know, the blue area that says "Other places" "Details" etc etc.

I'm using Spectre skin which is gray and the blue just doesn't look right.

That is a touchy issue. It would involve at the moment hacking the file or removing Microsoft's security feature. It can be done, but at the moment it is in the discussion stage for adding to Windowblinds. Hopefully it will be added, we'll just have to wait and see...

Open the WB config panel..........Settings........uncheck "Use Windows XP style explorer bars"

Thanks!
So skinning these will hopefully be a future feature?

Yes, Stardock had said they are working on a legitimate way to skin Explorer bars for WindowBlinds 4.
