Are you tired of the plain white background in Windows Explorer? Are file dialogs and pop-ups boring to look at? Well, thats about to change.
After I submitted my first article, "Skinning your Windows Explorer Background", something hit me; What if users could apply a suite of images to explorer to match your favorite Windowblinds Skin? (Or at least get rid of that ugly White Background) Soon enough, I will create image packages specially designed for customizing Windows Explorer called "Explorer Suites". Explorer suites are basically images which will change the following attributes:
Explorer Background
File Dialog Background (same as Explorer Background)
Favorite Links Background
Dialog Boxes
But here's the catch, These will only work if you have Skinstudio 6 and Windows Vista installed (sorry XP users, maybe someday)
I will post Explorer Suites under the "Wallpaper" category and the name "(Explorer Suite)" after the title. (i.e. YourName (Explorer Suite) by SkinAuthor) The preview image will consist of "Computer", "Control Panel", and the "System Properties" dialog box.
NOTE: This will NOT change Window Frames, buttons, tabs and other little things, just the background images. Every suite will come with instructions on how and what to change in your skin.
If you have any ideas or concerns, please let me know.
