Control Panel Background Color and Glass questions

April 20, 2011 5:29:48 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

Hi guys:

Does anyone know how to change Control Panel or Explorer´s preview pane background color ? I´m stuck with blinding white in both ...

Also I have made 2 versions for the Command Bar, one in bmp and the other in png for the glass section. What I don´t understand is why is the Control Panel is using the pngs instead of bmps since it doesn´t  support glass. I suposed the glass section was for explorer only.

Thanks.

Never seen the command bar on the control panel. Screeny?

Notice the Commandbar and Infopane. It´s the same color only since it´s 70% transparent you can see the background in the Add/Remove Progs.

Regarding the Control Panel White Background, are you sure it cannot be changed in SKS ? I have seen it changed with Visual Styles, so I know it´s posible, but maybe not in SKS.

Thanks

You are quite right....silly me.

Thanks for your help. It´s a shame this has been overlooked by SKS creators, these inconsistencies make homogeneous UI impossible.
