Hope can help with coloring ToonXP theme

March 17, 2003 5:29 PM from

Okay here goes... All i wanted to do was change all the red to Deep Blue to match the darker parts or the Blue wallpaper. Using skinstudio I managed to get the blue but shifting to blue cause all the yellow parts to go to a Purple shade instead of staying yellow as I wanted it to.

Could someone pls explain how to easily change JUST the red hehe so I can do it right this time
Thx in advance for any help on this

Toon has custom colour control. If you go into Display Properties/Appearence then select 'Sub Design' Custom Colour, you can change the colour in the drop down box to the right of that. No need to touch Skinstudio!

Just done my desktop as ToonXP Blue if you would like to look in my profile.

WindowBlinds - Free yourself of the default settings, customize your desktop.

okay I ended up having to reinstall toonXP to get back to origonal colors then changed it the way you said to, but only prob so far things like OB are skinning as Darkgrey/black instead of picking up the new color hehe. Any advice there?

OB should import the new Toon skin as is when you apply WB. Mine worked first time. Try reloading OB see if that works.
