Windowblinds question

January 30, 2003 3:20:17 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
A question for Windowblinds gurus ( ), is there a way to change the colour inside the combo box? I know how to change the border around it, but I need to change the colour inside.
Note that I don't want to change the colour of anything else, such as inside of the windows. Is it possible?

Unfortunately, you cannot change it without effecting other elements of Windows. In SkinStudio, it is under the Colours section. The attribute is Background - Window. As the name implies, it effects all window backgrounds as well as form fields.

Hum, that's what I thought. ( Boohoo!
Oh well, I guess it'll have to be white.

Suggestion to Stardock for next releases of WB?

Hum... thinking.
What else does the Background Window attribute change?
I can put a bitmap for background in windows, right? So say I change the attribute to another color and put a white bitmap as the background. Would that work? Or is it going to backfire?

can't you over-ride it in the advanced settings in WB4 once the skin is loaded?

Sadly that won't work Patric.
The window bg area doesn't support bmp bg's.
Only explorer, dialog and MDI will.
