Need skin with soft gray-green window background in Win 10

(Instead of glaring white for all windows/dialogs)

from Stardock Forums

These aging eyes need less contrast, not more. Achieving low-contrast background colors was easy in every Windows version from 95 on, but that useful feature was left out of Windows 10. So I am trying WindowBlinds, and wondering how to specify a color for all window and dialog backgrounds (not the desktop itself). Any suggestions?

You would need to find a skin you like first, then that skin would need to be edited in SkinStudio 10. If you are not familiar with SkinStudio, then you might PM the original skin author and ask them if they could do it for you. There are a lot of skins already on the site that do not have a white background, so have a good look around first. If you just cannot get what you want, PM me and I will see what I can do for you.

I definitely know what you mean by aging eyes and less contrast.  :)

I like your Candera, though it does not make window backgrounds a color other than white; and I would replace the black title and slider bars with a darker color in the same range as the background color. This is something I used to be able to do easily in previous versions of Windows, creating a very restful appearance. Do I have to learn how to design my own skins now?

Well, you could learn to do you own skins if wanted too, takes time though.  But PM me with your color choices in RGB for Cadera and your email address and I will see what I can do.  :)
