Custom colorization in WB won't take

from JoeUser Forums
I am running WB 4.6 (build 214), and when I go into the custom color window and press the "Change Colour" button, I select a new color in the color picker window and click OK, but the little preview window (color swatch?) immediately changes back to the original color. I've tried changing the colors with and without the "Enable Custom Color" box checkmarked...and also have the Force color box checked as well. It worked for me once before on a previous version, but now it seems to want to stay on only one color. btw, I'm using Opus OS WB skin. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

I'm having the same prob with the alumina wb. Woks fine on others though. Maybe there is a limit of some sort on what each skin can handle. I'm too intimidated to try skin studio just yet. But from what I have read here that prog would handle both our problems.

Good luck finding an answer.

Are you going through the Windowblinds Advanced Configuration window? (Windowblinds button on the Appearance Page) If not on the My Skins page click the "Change Skin Colour" button on the right side and then click the "Enable Custom Colour Support" and the HSL Based Colouring"

By the way Stardock "Colour"? is this an European build? I'll have to hold my pinky out clicking this page.

Yes, I'm going through the Windowblinds My Skins window to open the custom color window. I tried the HSL option but that is not working either...everything seems to revert back to previous. I'll keep trying different combinations.

Edit: Okay, I've gotten it to work using the HSL sliders (Hue & Saturation), but just choosing a color via the colorbox doesn't seem to work. So I think I'm good to go for now. Thanks guys!
