The trick with creating or modifying WB skins is to learn the problems, and try to design your skin around the problem. I wish I could understand how WB uses background but what I read in the doc doesn't seem enough. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/

The solution is not to use the pink. You don't need it. Use your menu background to replace the magic pink area. I wish it was so simple... But the background where the buttons are is not always the same depending on the window width/height and the gradient won't display evenly. <A HREF="https://www.wincustomize.com/index.asp?C

I all, I'm mostly finished making a new skin but It seem that there is a background color wich I can't change. I can see that background only in some apps like Photoshop but not in Explorer... It even show up at the "end" of a tool bar here in Stardock Central. The color is light beige.
