I can't say I've seen any standard Luna skins in different colours, but some may support custom colours with WindowBlinds.

The only place I've seen such skins is sites with MSStyle themes. I'm not about to recommend using 'the hack' though, so why not try putting one together yourself? If you've got a Luna skin to start from, it shouldn't be too big a deal to recolour it.

What about Woody or XP Jeans (come with WB3+4 free version)? I also have an upcoming skin (name still classified) that is another Luna-like skin. Hope that helps you.

You can find skins for Style XP at themexp.org. They might have Luna skins in other colors. You can get the trial version of Style XP at download.com. Be sure to save a system restore point before installing Style XP so that if you decide to ditch it, you can restore your .dll files back to their original condition.

You have photoshop?

Download the skin studio tryal, and open evry imagefile you can find, then do this:

image>adjustment>variation and me the colour you like.... simple like that

An old XP skin is Win XP Red by DigitalFX. You could search on that in the windowblind library. But it doesn't have XP support so it doesn't skin the XP start menu. There was another one that was orange but can't remember the name or author right now. It did have the XP start menu, though.

If you buy skinstudio it already has a colour change mode in it (correct me if I am wrong...)
If you aren't into skinning, it shouldn't be wise to buy skinstudio for just 1 time use.
when you download the tryal, and start a new skin, you get the luna look as standard, and you can change the images, and make your own theme that way. If you open a luna image, and adjust it in photoshop, and save it again, you can create your own colour style by that... clear?

Yes, but you'll be so pleased with yourself if you finish, and it just might inspire you to take the next step.

One reality of skinning is that it 'akes a while'.....initially it takes QUITE a while, but eventually with practise it becomes easier and faster...
