WindowBlinds / SkinStudio Problems

1.  In WindowBlinds you can change the Explorer background with a texture, but you would need to create the texture (which is easy).  That will cover the Explorer background, but to change more of the window like the navigation pane you are going to need to edit the skin inside SkinStudio.

2.  That is something that can also be done in SkinStudio.

Thank you for the quick replay ID.

So, i try it with SkinStudio.

i hope i can handle it.

If you run into an issue, just post on the WinCustomize forums.  Someone will be able to help.

Well, the biggest problem is, i think my english is not good enough for SkinStudio. But i will try it.

ok, so far so good...

but i still have some problems. i will show it in the screenshot below.

I didn't found an option to change the white part of the explorer navigation.

Any help here? 

I can't handle SkinStudio good enough (because of my english )

So, i want all white parts blue & transparent.

And all the fonts shall be orange.

Could anyone help me please...? 

thx

bumpy bump 

That looks like DieHard 4.0 WindowBlinds.  If it is I would suggest you contact LightStart for assistance in changing those items.  

What operating system are you using?  I know if you're on Vista or Windows 7, you can change the color of the background in that area under Edit Explorer/IE Shell Parts-->Edit Vista/7 Explorer Parts-->Folders Bar-->Extra Settings.

click on "change skin colors", click on the combo box and select "show me the skin defined system colors" and change the color for "window background".

but be aware, this will change the window color everywhere.

the window text color is the color below the window background. most likely, you'll need to experiment.

and what Karen said, but I think that might be limited and not a global setting... I had to start a blind over because I changed that setting but then couldn't remember where I had done it.

okay, i got it so far. but some i still have some problems.

well, i want all fonts to be orange but i can't find every text. is it possible to change all text with one click?

and is it possible to change the programs part in the startmenu and make it transparent like the rest of the startmenu?

see screenshot for details

thank you so far guys 

Fonts are a headache.  If you change the part you want in one place, a lot of times it messes up in other places and become unreadable.  First place you might check is Change Skin Colours-->(then go to the drop down arrow near the top of the page to get to) Show me the skin defined system colors and try Window Text (I think).

I don't think there's a way to make the all programs section of the start menu transparent.

ok, almost ready...

how to change the black and white font in the explorer. i can't find the options.

you can if you make the graphic transparent.

how does one change the white vertical separation?

Ok thx gmc2, where can i find these option in SkinStudio to change this part of the startmenu?

There are many limitations as to what you can and cannot change Onklifiziert, the white text cannot be changed at all, no way to do it.  The black text is controlled in the colors section of SkinStudio, you need to play with the colors in the Edit Vista/7 part colours for the rest.  I haven't even figured them all out yet.  Also, the icon text color should be changeable in the dropdown, Show me the skin defined system colors, and Window Text color.  At least it is in XP, never had a need to change it in Vista or 7 personally.

You have to make the start menu graphic from scratch yourself to do so.

thx a lot for helping me LightStar & gmc2

@LightStar: you did an awesome job on this blind and now i know how hard it is to create a WB

..how to change following color (see screenshot)

(SkinStudio is just in english and that is my problem, so sorry for asking so much questions)

Regardless of how transparent the start menu itself is, this part will not go transparent.

Edit Explorer/IE Shell Parts-->Edit Additional Vista/7 Parts-->Additional Explorer Sections-->Left Hand Line.

ok i got it.

thank so much guys and girls 

you rock, you really rock!!!

i almost finished the re-creation and will show you the result in a few minutes 

ok, so far so good, ....so what!? 

two more problems to go... ...the white part and the black font in the screenshot (are they changeable? if yes, how)

thanks Karen for the clarification and location to change that white line, very current info.
