So I need some help with Windowblinds

Have you tried changing the desktop color by where wallpapers are applied? That might work though I'm not sure.

It will work, but when I reboot, it changes back to white.

There has to be a way around this....

Try setting costom color in window blinds configuration window.
(Change skin colour)option. Change the color to the color you want for the text but don't check the box (enable custom color support).
This has worked for me but I don't know if it will for you.
Then reinstall a skin.

Nope, changes back to white on reboot.

Is there nothing I can delete in this skin's folder?

If you have checked 'apply the skins color theme' then when you reboot windowblinds will install the skins color theme which will probably override the color you want.
You could open the skin in skinstudio and change the color there.

Exactly what are you trying to do again. I'm a Little unsure.

Skins can have backround bit maps for backrounds my skins have three.
explorer.bmp,dialog.bmp,mdi.bmp

To post # 5: Yes, I know, exactly. I don't have skinstudio installed and that would mean I would have to do it to all 200+ skins I have. I hope I don't have to resort back to Microangelo...

Go to basic settings backrounds in configuration window.See if the override box is checked.

Are you running a beta version of WB4
Or the released version?

If you click on my name, you will see my desktop icon text is black. I've always had 'apply the skins color theme' unchecked because when I would reboot, the text would change back to white when it was checked.

Really wasn't missing out on anything until the new features of WB 4.

If you look at these screeshots (imagestation shrinks em down) of my desktop, the border on the display properties window is not skinned and on some skins the run background isn't skinned, along with other backgrounds:

To get these areas skinned, 'apply the skins color scheme' has to be checked. However, I lose my black text this way.

The goal here is to have these areas skinned while keeping my black icon text.

Nah man, still changes white on reboot.

Relesased version.

So you want black icon text and you want the skins backrounds skinned.If there is no override for the icon text then I think you will have to choose between icon text black and having the backrounds skinned.If not checking apply skins color scheme makes the backrounds not skin.

Well I just unchecked apply skins color scheme and the backrounds still skinned.

I just tried again and I think the backround bit maps are not used but the other parts are .

The backround bit maps are used. I checked again.But the backrounds are also using the color for all 3d areas.

Color for all buttons and three D areas in skinstudio.Makes up part of the backround in all windows.

So as fare as I know if you want the skins backrounds to look like the preview but also want black icon text then I think we need another override added to windowblinds.But I could be wrong.

Or you could edit all your skins in skinstudio.

I appreciate your help Iben. I really do. Editing would be pretty painful since I have 200+ skins. I'm not familiar with Skinstudio at all either.
