I used SkinStudio (I'm a newbie) to edit one of the skins that came with With WindowBlinds (Aura by Mike Bryant). I wanted to keep my desktop color but the skin kept changing it. In SkinStudio I went to Miscellaneous > Colors > Miscellaneous > Background - Desktop and changed the color numbers to 0 128 128. After saving the change and reapplying the skin, the desktop color was noticeably darker. Desktop Properties showed the color as 0 108 108. I didn't want to spend time messing around with this, so I went back to SkinStudio and changed the numbers to 0 148 148, and that gave the result I was looking for. Has anyone else noticed something like this?
