I need a little help. I want to skin the folders or more importantly the "blue area" of the folders. How would I go about doing that?

Heres a pic of what I'm talking about.

That is a known issue, and not currently supported by Windowblinds. That area would require a "hack" of sorts to be changed. You never know though it happen in the future, stranger things have.

in win98 those are stored in .htt files somewhere in windows...
don't know if XPs the same (my windows box is a p200, i somehow manage to run lightwave on it though)... i just edit mine in notepad, i've only done a couple of themes though. Stardock might come out wilth something that saves all this manual labour eventually

Yes, Stardock is trying to figure out how to do it legally, without redistributing MS's stuff (as using .msstyles does). Possibly 3.5? Not going to be in 3.4.

actually .MSSTYLES is a 'KIND' of EXE file. see it for urself.
open a msstyles file with a progray that reads exe's eg: resource hacker.

you can see lots of folders in a treeview with a FOLDER CALLED BITMAP.

just click it and voila!
there r the bitmaps of the skins!

for XP Visual styles, go to http://www.themexp.org

Yeah, it's mostly resources, but if even 1% of it is MS stuff, it's illegal. Also, WB skins don't need to get any bigger because they're carting unnecessary gunk around - for example, check out the size of logonui.exe files vs .logonxp logons.
