Different system colors in substyle

from Stardock Forums

Hi,

I probably now the answer already but is it possible that a specific application uses the system colors of a subskin rather than the system colors of the main skin?

That is really a pain when designing a dark theme and you want some applications to use the light version of my dark theme.

Thanks,

Davy

This would solve a great number of issues with program compatibility.

Nice that you can specify a skin for individual applications but it defeats the purpose if it just uses the global skins colors.

 

My wish has long been being able to use a dark skin for windows but set a lite sub for photoshop. :d

...yes, I work in different environements.

I have my dark theme when I am in my studio and a light version of my dark theme for anywhere else.

I am very happy with my dark theme as it works in most applications just fine.
However sometimes, a light system colors for a specific application could solve some minor issues.

Yeah, talking about PS but it works quite well anyway with the dark theme but I would definetly skin it with my light version cause PS uses system colors for menus.

So the answer is probably, no you can't have different system colors per application :(
