One of the coolest features of
WindowBlinds is the ability to change the color of your visual style on the
fly. This is a feature I feel is overlooked sometimes, so I wanted to write a
brief guide about it. It's very simple to use and depending on the skin itself,
you can drastically change it's appearance, or just make a slight color change
to match a wallpaper.
Open up the WindowBlinds configuration window and select "Change Colors in
Skin", then check "Enable custom color support". The sliders will now
become active and you are free to adjust them to obtain the color you want.
The preview window will give you a real-time view of what color changes are
being made.
You also have the options for HSL based coloring, and Gamma adjustment for even
more control. Once you find the color that fits just hit "Apply my
changes" and your new color will take effect. To undo the coloring just
uncheck the "enable custom color" box, and hit apply again.
This is my desktop using the OpusOS skin.
This is the same skin with the colors adjusted.
You see with just a few clicks and some slight slider adjustments you can alter
a visual style to your liking. It's also great for skins that you might
have used often, and would like to "update" them with a new look.
