Can't seem to get rid of the blue backgound...

April 27, 2003 12:20 AM from

This may be a stupid question, but I just downloaded Windowblinds Enhanced and also a woodworks skin. Everything looks great, until I open a folder, where in Windows XP there is the blue vertical bar that encompasses the "file and folder tasks" choices and so on. I don't know the proper name for it. How can I get that area's color changed to reflect the wood theme?
I've perused the display properties, and also the Windowblinds settings, but have yet to stumble upon anything that changes the color of that area. Any info would be helpful.
Thanks.

What you are referring to is called shellstyles. You need Windowblinds 4 to skin this, and of course a WB4 skin.

As Fuzzy noted, skins that note they support shellstyles provide that WB 4 feature. Older skins won't unless their authors update them for WB 4.

Now all I need to do is mix and match the skin I like with the Shellstyle I like from a different skin in the advanced settings. Wonderful, thanks again.
