Should look something like this for the start panel color: ini files and edit the color settings inside each file and then save and reapply the skin. ini files, find your skins normal, large and extralarge. In your resource editor program, if you have the ability to edit. A dictionary of xp system files with line by line explanations would be fantastic! Too bad it doesn't exist.Īnyway, if anyone has any information that would help me find the files I need to edit, I'd be grateful. There are so many system files that contain bitmaps and string tables, which control the appearance of xp, that it's really hard to figure out which is which. I'd like to be able have different colours in different windows. If you use the desktop properties option it changes all the windows to the same colour. It would also be nice to be able to change the window colours independently. Here's a screen-shot so you can see what I mean I also want to change or get rid of the gray hover colour. Changing the font colour in desktop properties, appearance, advanced, menu doesn't change the start menu. I need to know what system file I need to edit to change the font colours in the xp start menu. I'm having pretty good results but there are some things I'm having trouble figuring out. I'm not an expert and I just started this activity a couple of weeks ago. I use Resource Hacker and Replacer to create custom. I would just rather create my own styles by modifying the Luna and other default msstyles. I tried out windowblinds and it just isn't for me. I don't use windowblinds so maybe this is not the right place for me to be asking questions but I thought there might be some knowledgeable people here.
