I had also trouble doing that directly in WB Modify style. Changing system colors may have worked the first time, but you don't have the same flexibility as with Skin Studio. Skin Studio may look a bit daunting at first, but a couple of days and a lot of Google allows to learn to use it, and then it's very powerful. Mixing styles is also a very powerful feature. If you really want a W7 or XP look & feel, the Win Retro taskbar is perfect, while for the rest, Precision (with

How to I change the color of the top of an active and inactive window in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

This is a very basic requirement, and it's likely very easy, but I just cannot find how to do it with the precision skin for example. In WindowBlinds itself, I don't see the color of the top of window in "Change System Color". In Skinstudio, I don't see it in "Edit title bars and WindowsFrame" I must be missing something really obvious! Edit: "Edit title bars and WindowsFrame" -> "Edit tool windows" -> "Caption" shows the color for active a

A remark for Corporate users that have problems with the taskbar. For my taste, opinions may differ, I found out that if you use the taskbar of this theme: https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/windowblinds/9209/ it gives a really nice result. The whole Win Retro theme is too dark, but its taskbar is perfect.

[quote who="basj" reply="266" id="3773636"] Corporate was design to use a lot of dropdown shadows. And since that shadows is build in/fixed it can not be turn off. Only option here is to tick the "Do not use per pixel frames even if the style supplies them". [/quote] This solves another problem I did not report yet: I had to use the "Shift Pixels Vertically" to see correctly the additional controls that Actual Windows Manager ads to each window, which was a real pain. Now, t

[quote who="basj" reply="255" id="3773457"] Yes, use compatible skin style. Some of those current/new skin style come with Dark and Light sub-style. [/quote] Not really a solution, I like Corporate! Not a biggie for me, I replaced the Windows eject by USB Safely Remove, which uses a colored icon. Only Network is invisible, so with only one hole, it's easy to know.

How to make hovering color on explorer different that the selection color? in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Hi, By going into Edit Explorer -> Edit Explorer Parts -> Listview -> Selection Image I could create a bitmap to have a color I like when I select text in my modified Corporate skin. When the mouse hovers over the text, the color is the same, which is confusing, it looks that the selection has one more item that it really has. So, I'd like the the hovering over text color be different. Is it possible?

Another (old) programs that hangs with WindowBlinds: MSDN Library for Visual Studio 2008 It's obsolete, but I like it much better for help on basic Win32 API calls than more recent VS help. As soon as you start a search, it hangs. I made the test to start it on a W10 machine as a RDP single program session from a W7 machine, and it still hangs. So, it's really the interaction between the program and the skin that makes it hang, even if it's actually run

Thanks. I have asked Iperius support too, but I guess that they don't have anyway to understand what's happening. Note that you can install a free Iperius trial to test, but you would also need to have a tape deck! It's likely also that they would help you with a free license, at least that's what I would do if I was selling a product not working with yours.

Ok, so it's a feature, not a bug. :) To get what I want, I'll have to stop using the mixing of 2 styles, and edit a copy the style I want to change. Thanks for the advice.

[quote who="DaveRI" reply="2" id="3691318"] But when I use Precision + True Classic taskbar, the text is a very pale green very hard to read. Maybe you have some color changes hanging around on one of the skins. For each skin, go into WindowBlinds, click on the "Modify style" text, click on the color tile that says "None", then click the "Apply style to desktop" button. Might clear up the text color. [/qu

Changing the color of the taskbar button text in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

Hi, I am new to Windowblinds, I just bought a license and testing it on a Virtual machine. I hoping to get a Windows 7 classic look with Windows 10, which I truly hate. I plan to get some new hardware that won't support Windows 7. I downloaded the "True Classic" theme, which uses a taskbar style I like, but other items are not to my liking. I like the Precision style for these other items, except for the taskbar. So, I choose the Precision theme, and in the set
