Apply only some aspects of a theme?

from WinCustomize Forums
Hello...

I had a question abpout window blinds.

I really like the Noire skin for the way it makes the taskbar look and also the windows boreders, however I find that the way it changes toolbar colors can make them hard to read.

What I would like to do is have the theme applied to:

The start menu
The taskbar
The borders of windows
The buttons (ok, cancel ect)
The progress bar

But NOT applied to:

the wall paper
the menus and toolbars within the program
the color of the exploror background (i'd like to keep it white)
the font color within the explorer

I've tried messing with it several times, by turning on and off some of the options within windowblinds, but no matter how much I try, I cannot get it to apply in just the way I want it to.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Steve

Give SkinStudio a try --- and edit the skin your self ...

Okay...I got it to work like I want....well, sorta.

The only problem is the skin seems to apply to the XP-Style start menu but not the "classic" start menu. I hate the XP start menu and would rather have the classic style (with only one pain and not showing my recent programs) but I'd like it to be skinned. Any ideas?

Thanks
