Hey all,

Have a small problem, but unfortunately not been able to figure it out so thought I ask.  In the below screenie, it is showing Windows Media Player where I have highlighted all the songs.  Unfortunately in the skin I am using at the moment, and will go back to over time (I like changing my desktop look regularly :blush: ) the highlighting don't show, left side.  It does in Windows Explorer when picking the songs though.  It's just that if wanting to delete some songs to add more that's the tricky part.  I added a comparison from another skin to show the difference.

So my question is, where do one change that particular feature in the Skin Studio ?

Thank you for any and all suggestions and advice ! :grin:

Been trying to figure out where to change the following but no luck as of yet.

It should be the image defined in Controls/Comboboxes/ComboBox/Read only combobox [Image]tab.

So it seems that the only way to change the above things would be through the WindowsBlind section, Modify Style - Colours - Change System Colours, but doing it that way, it don't look like I can change it through the SkinStudio later.  Is that right or am I missing something ? 

I believe changing the system colors via WindowBlinds is changing the same thing that you change within SkinStudio system colors.  I haven't double-checked to be sure right now.  In other words, you should be able to change a system color via WB, close WB, open the skin in SkinStudio, and see the changed system color there.  Then you should be able to change it again (and save changes), close the skin, look at the system colors again in WB, and see the new color you just entered in SkinStudio.

Only checked the System Colour: Windows Text as of now, and that indeed also showed in SinkStudio 'Show me the skin defined system colours' but only at one place, Windows Text.  I will play around some more and see what does what though !  Thank you for the excellent suggestion ! :D

Yep, that's how it works, one for one.
