Problems when changing text highlight to ORANGE. Can anyone help??

May 3, 2004 2:18 AM from

I'm trying to edit this Longhorn skin ( https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?searchtext=longhorn+slate+4051&sort=updatedate&order=Descending&library=1 ) When I try to change the color to ORANGE ( I'm trying to get 255, 189, 123, but any other shade of orange seems to also fail ) in SkinStudio/Miscellaneous/Colors/Selections/Background - Highlighted ( the action in which you highlight files in Explorer ) it makes all my icons turn BRIGHT NEON GREEN when I try to highlight them. I can change them to any other color and the icons will be normal, but when I change it to any shade of ORANGE all the icons turn GREEN when highlighted. I'm not using any icon package, just the microsoft default ones. If anyone knows how to fix this, please respond, thank you very much.

Yep. WB has some odd issue with colors. Here is another. A large portion of the skins have issues with displaying the correct taskbar buttons in non-XP systems because of a color in the skin. I reported the bug, but it will not be fixed. The best you can do is to report this to Stardock.

Not sure because I haven't run WB on a non-XP system, but in SkinStudio it appears that the taskbar button is a different graphic for non-XP vs. the graphic for the XP taskbar button
