Changing windows colors (advanced)

from WinCustomize Forums

Hi,

I'm making a new dark skin for windows seven.
But ha have several problems to modify some elements:

- I'dlike to change the control panel white background, to match with my skin.

I found how to change the color of the text elements in skinstudio, not for the background:

 

 

 

 

- The same for windows copy popups or uac popups:

unable to find in skinstudio where to change the white background.

- I d'like to change the search bar text color (1) ent the library green title color.

 

 
 

Does anyone knows how th change that?

Thanks a lot for your response, sorry for my bad english.

None of those white background colors can be changed. I've heard that the Library area text color can be changed, but it is with a weird procedure, and it may affect text in other areas. You might want to contact neone6 on that.

Library Text;

under Change colors, change skin defined colors, selected image.

It is a weird process to change. First choose a color off the chart, check the difference when applied, it is actually a blend of your choice, and the default color(my opinion).Then, without changing the color you chose, you can adjust that result with the slider to the right of the chart.

 

This can be useful when you want to match a color to the skin, but need a lighter selected image graphic for other areas, but can also be a pain. Just have to play around, best I could conclude, with the color mixes and results is the default is some shade of purple, again, guessing.

 

The text under the Libraries header, the actual word "Libraries", under that can also be manipulated but I forgot with what area, also a color like buttons, or buttonshadow, really forgot. I will try to recall or find a previous post about this, we had one not long ago.

 

The rest, not able to change as LS stated.
