I just found a little tga called explorer list. In this, i think, are 3 merged pictures. Top is transparent, that in the middle is lightblue and this on the bottom is darkblue. - For better understanding i change the colors to each, but noone make it possible to disable unmarked objects. Its very disattract if i select the top folder in the filebrowser, than select others and the top one is still selected. I dont understand, that there are 3 pictures that control 4 pictures. Is there a way to use the standard windows 10 Theme and built on him from scratch? Maybe the Filebroser atleast? Would be great to start modding with something familiar.

If you interested to learn than open up one of the skin in Studios and look at that section where I mentioned above. From there you can mod it and learn from there. Or you can try my GlassMaxx  https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/windowblinds/7998/. There only 3 states and one gray out states taken from one of the states from that 3 states. Which currently I don't remember which is which.

Was need to flip it in my current theme. But in this one, the unselect one is white, yes. Is there a way to make selected ones blue again while unselected ones this get the borders?

Sure i wanna learn it. But i tryed around 50 Themes so far and noone of this was completed. Half of tham dont have the magnifying glass and i was buy this Suite, so i can download and install the Windows 7 / Vista theme. Nothing seems to work here. )=

For the Selection items try 6 states instead of 3 states. Refer to screenshot below.

And the states is as below.

First i wanna say thank you. Sencond: Every skin i try is built on other way. I literaly couldnt change the taskbar from Skin a to b or the Menu from c to a. - I have no clue how to make states either i have no idea to skin in generall. I just buy a Suite for skinning my sytem. I wanna have Win 7 or Vista. Best would be both. Maybe you should try to make a good Wiki and follow a standard, so everyone can try out. I would learn this all for sure, but i need help to found the way in this overwhelming programm.

I realy try to understand all of this, but i dont even found a undo button. If i make onlyone mistake on a random skin tomodified it, i have to start from scratch and make all of it new.

Not really, First you should Edit/modify a copy of an original skin. Save it with other name. Edit that new one. Once you're done and satisfied with your work for that part. You can save it and make another version of that and edit that second version one. And so on and so fort. That should save you from start from scratch. But, yes, sadly, there is no undo button in Skinstudios.

Thank you,

Turn down the scaling, if you already did, reboot and see if that help.

Got it. Was found a option in preference. (All options will be shown to you)

Now i only need to know resolutions of the only segments and spacing. Better a template, so i can make it easy pisi.
