photoshop, acrobat app background colours
Monday, April 11, 2005 by uber con | Discussion: WindowBlinds
hi,
i'm using the Mac OS X Tiger skin by Steve Grenier and it looks awesome but in apps like photoshop, acrobat reader, word. etc, the background colour is this brightish blue shade. much as i love blue, i'd really rather these app backgrounds be a more neutral gray or whitish colour, so my eyes don't start seeing strange things after long work sessions in these apps. i tried changing it through the windows display properties>appearance>advanced..but it's not doing anything. does anyone know if i can change this blue colour??
thanks

thanks for replying zObelisk,
yah, i'm usig the aqua sub cause i like the little bit of colour in the titlebar, where the minimize and close icons are
i guess the alternative is to just set an exclusion for photoshop, cause that blue is killing my eyes

Open WindowBlinds config, basic settings, Skin window backgrounds, select dialog backgrounds, apply changes. Steve has
bitmap images for background but when not set to skin will see color setting, which he does have blue.

Adobe apps are famous for not playing nice with WB skin colors - especially dark skins. I too am using OS X Tiger by Steve but I'm using the graphite sub and I find the background in Photoshop easy on the eyes.
