[REQ] Microsoft Office Skinner

September 28, 2004 4:49 PM from

I am officially requesting a skinning program for Microsoft Office XP & 2003. I KNOW!!! They use different skinning systems, but it would be GREAT if someone who could make a skinning utility for those (ESPECIALLY OFFICE XP)

While I am into requests because it could give skinners idea on what to make next, I have to admit I have no idea what your asking nor if it is even possible.

I would also suggest that you look into the sticky thread on top of the message board about requesting skins.

Jafo, the problem occurs with the way Office XP applies Windowblind colors. It doesn't use the proper menu background colors and this can make certain font colors in the menus appear almost invisible.

This is most prevalent with dark skins that use light text colors.

...which reminds me of Photoshop (hard-coded black fonts).
