This has worked really well thank you Dave.

Smart recolouring recolours the titlebar only in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

Hi everyone, I'm trying to create a recolourable version of my Windows Classic skin so that people can make their own themes with it, but using the WindowBlinds recolouring tool only seems to recolour the titlebar. Please see attached image. Unticking "Use smart recolouring" helps but produces undesirable results. Is there a way to tell WindowBlinds, whether in SkinStudio or in WB itself, to consider the taskbar/button faces etc. as the primary items for recolouring? Thanks. <img src=

[quote who="DaveRI" reply="4" id="3778253"] I'm not sure there's really a "best". Mainly I'd go sort of in the mid-range in terms of brightness for re-coloring, unless you absolutely like bright or dark. The best thing to do might be to pick a color that you might want to use often, then just make a taskbar in that color and see if it recolors the way you want it to within WB.

Ah that's too bad. I'm not very well versed in colour theory. Which base colour should I use that would allow the widest variation in colours through hue shifting?

Is there a way to tell Skin Studio's theme bitmaps to use system colours? in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Hi all, Basically I'm trying to create a recolourable skin where you can change the colours by changing the System Colours option in WindowBlinds. So far, I've only been able to achieve this by using transparencies (e.g. using transparent button faces, tab backgrounds, etc.) which allows the default s

Reply to The "Pressed" taskbar button state doesn't work in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

[quote who="LightStar" reply="1" id="3777968"] There is no pressed Taskbar button state in Windows 10. Microsoft designed it that way. Even though it is still in SkinStudio, it doesn't exist. [/quote] Fair enough if that's the case. At least I'm not doing anything wrong! Thanks for the reply.

The "Pressed" taskbar button state doesn't work in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Hi all, I've noticed that on my version of windows, the "pressed" taskbar button state just simply doesn't work. This is the case for all Stardock-supplied themes as well as community-created and self-created themes, even though the state is properly defined in Skin Studio. Basically the taskbar buttons can either be normal or active, but it doesn't change state when you click it without releasing the button (the "pressed" state" in Skin Studio). Is this a Windows 10 issue, or

[SOLVED] Strange shrinking of tray icons in my custom theme. in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Hi everyone, I've recently purchased WindowBlinds and I'm really happy with the level of customisation available - even though there are quite a few things incompatible with the latest Win10 updates. Anyway, I've recently tried to create my own theme - a Windows 9x recreation. However, I've noticed upon completing and applying the theme that the system tray icons get distorted - slightly shrunk. It always happens to the battery and Action Centre icons, and sometimes it will ha
