Help! I'm having a problem making my new skin !

Friday, February 20, 2004 by Michael Brandt | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Im making my third skin, and now im really tired of this blue item background in " All programs" and "Close Computer".

Can someone help me to remove that? Can I make it translucent?

it is one of the system colors set by windowblinds. go to miscellaneous and then colors and change them until you find the right one (I forgot which one it is)

I believe it's in the (SkinStudio) Miscellaneous/Colors/Menus - the one called;  "Menu - Highlighted Background (XP only)"

Yeah, you can make it translucent by matching it to the color in that area.
