If you will send me the wba file I'll load it here and explore the uis and sss files to find what it is you are looking for. I try to use a comparison of things to find what it is and will give you a detailed location.

Don't everyone answer at once

I welcome any help. ..and still waiting for anyone with answers. What I'm asking doesnt require any specific skin; just general knowledge of SKS.

6 is the buttonface color.

1 and 3 cannot be changed.

4 is more than likely ScrollbarArrows.bmp IF the grippers have been skinned that particular way..

The pink in whatever application you have going on there and in some areas of the skin, just colorpick the exact color and search the code for it.

Lastly, if you want help in these forums, please excercise some patience and manners.

Some can, some can't...confirmed.

If it is not that 'difficult' why are you asking?

Your coming off as rather arrogant in my opinion, at the same time asking for help.

Sorry, I didnt see your post nor anyone else's until significantly later; which might have appeared I ignored your post and kept looking for answers. It appears the forum has had some problems lately with updating thread posts timely and appears to post them in "spurts".

So far, 1 and 3 have been confirmed as they can't be changed. I'm not sure which specific section in SKS to change #6 (button face color); nor, the pink color... hence, why I started this thread.

Hopefully, there's a definitive answer to which sections in SKS the other components can be changed.

Lastly, it seems like the only person bothered by my posts might be you. Sorry, you feel that way; it seems your perception might not be shared by others trying to help.

Hey vStyler, I found "button face" color. Thanks

I am hopeful I might be able to change #2.

I have one more color to find. It's for legacy drop down menu borders. Where in Skinstudio do I chang that white color?

Actually all of these parts can be changed. Mostly in sks via the uis and/or sss files. But anytime you work with forcing the explorer to have new settings it will do things else where and it will make you think. Alot of it comes automatically as when one part is changed the code is set to run another color and so forth. The trick is to find that and using a proper balance with that in mind.
Most of the explorer back grounds are used in Office and work almost the same. We have played with this in the gui for a program interface called Power Archiver for sometime trying to get it right for Vista.
There is a better way - but I'm not explaining it here without show and tell. Always seems someone wants the quick easy way of doing it. Most skinning is not easy and in some cases can be hazardous too.
Vstyler will agree with that one - he has had his days with XP and Vista.
Oh don't get me wrong it is fun to work with windows and find what you can do with it.

Sorry..... quote feckup

And no edit-button....

For one thing, Skype and Firefox both have their own skinning engines - and when software uses its own skinning, if often doesn't work well with WB or SKS.

Those menu borders in Skype are controlled, believe it or not, by the button face color. It doesn't make sense at all, I know, but often applications that have custom skins break all of the conventions for where to use the colors.

If that is a normal right click context menu in explorer the white line is the menu seperator which is actually incorporated into the mousover image.. state 2.
