Custom Coloring
Monday, August 29, 2005 by alphabyte | Discussion: RightClick
Hello everyone,
I was wondering if there was a way for RightClick to adopt the custom colors of a windowblind. In the example below, I have recolored Brewman's DogmaX green. However, looking at my RightClick menu, it has retained the default blue color scheme. I have also noticed this same behavior if a windowblind has multiple substyles of different colors. Only the "default" color scheme is adopted by RightClick. Anyway, if anyone knows a solution to this problem, I would appreciate it greatly. (Or, is this a feature not yet implemented in RightClick, or is it windowblind dependent?) Many thanks in advance.

There is a way.......... you could open the menu bits in your graphics editor, recolor them, and save in a seperate folder. Then use the new RC Menu Skin Tool (found in the RC directory) to create a new menu with the recolored images.
The new Skin Tool requires .NET Framework 2.0 runtimes.
