The real deal is to find out where the white background for the dialogs (copy/move etc) is hidden. It is clear that when these dialogs are initially created by the system, they are painted with the "window" or "explorer" color and then the white background (image ?) is drawn over the system color, on a second pass. So, there are two approaches. The 'user' approach is to replace the image resource if any and the 'developer' approache is to hook the dialogs and exclusively process the appr

Going further against the Windows 10 White backgrounds, I have some news. I found out where one (out of ?) hardcoded white bg is stored and how I can change it. It has to do with the old Control Panel's left panel. The white color is a hardcoded bitmap, stored as a resource in "C:\Windows\SystemResources\shell32.dll.mun". <img src="https://cdn.stardock.us/forums/69/99/6999781/644c7574-2c95-4639-a7cf-e7dcaa46c1f6.jpg" alt="" width="874" he

As WindowBlinds is the last and only hope of a power user to be attracted to Windows 10 UI, despite Microsoft's efforts, I believe that the developers should spend more time on their software and especially the SkinStudio sould be redesigned for simplicity and clearness

I have not tested it yet, but I think that the 5 states approach is more transparent. So the conclusion is that the appearance of the Menubar menuitems and the Toolbar Buttons is always connected. What I additionally found out, is probably a minor bug that exists in Button (6 State), Split Button and Drop Down Button > Text Colour. The 'Disabled' colour defines the 'Mouseover' colour and the 'Mouseover' colour defines the 'Pressed' one.

Dave is correct. So, the answer for flat Menubar menuitems for Explorer, which also means flat Toolbar buttons, is to leave empty the Normal (first) state image for Button (6 State).

No it is not there, but thanks anyway. It needs more searching and maybe it can not change. As I see you do not have 3D borders neither around the Places Buttons nor the Command Bar Buttons and this makes me believe that the Menubar Top level menuitems (probably they are Buttons) inherit their appearance from the Button control and if no image is specified for Buttons then the Toolbar section takes handle.

I am talking about the Explorer Menubar Menuitems (not the menubar itself). Are they Toolbar buttons, Rebar buttons or what ? I just want to make them flat in normal position.

Thanks for the Tray help, I already fixed it. Of course it was not a bug, just the image used, had some empty pixels left and right. Do you remember which section is responsible for the Win Explorer Menubar items ? I like the "flat" style but I can only configure it for old style apps in Menus > Standard Menubars > Menubar Options which does not affect Explorer Menubars

How can the Tray skinning be adjusted ? The image section is applied correctly. Can you provide me with a Skin that this section works correctly, cause I can not find any. The dev team could easily fix at least the WB and the SkinStudio UI, that has nothing to do with Microsoft. Thank you

I have already purchased WindowBlinds and I finally managed to skin my Windows 10 to my needs. But there are some leftovers that are really frustrating. Most of them have to do with white backgrounds mostly on dialogs and less on windows and some have to do with the Text color. As I use a dark theme (Cyan text over dark blue/gray background) I can not read not skinned text, over a white backgroud, it is just unreadable. I know of course that some issues are caused by the i
