Don't forget you can colorize your skins
Wednesday, January 16, 2008 by Draginol | Discussion: OS Customization
One of the best and most underused features of WindowBlinds 6 is the colorizing feature.
With WindowBlinds, you can color certain parts of the skin but not others in order to create multiple new styles that you can save for later.
Here are two screenshots to show what I mean:
Above is Elegance but with a more golden hue to it. Note that the close button is still red. It's not just a brute force hue shift.
Here is Aero Executive changed to be grassy.

Yep, it saves it as a sub for selected skin. When select colours tab and also trans and blur, click drop down where says Change settings for all skins, create new, create new again, name sub, create, close, then set to colour or trans and blur you want.

I have never been able to change only one item. Each time I try I end up with all the colors changing. There's gotta be something I'm missing, but since I've gone thru the instructions at least ten times I think maybe I misunderstand one of the steps.

I was able to get it to work correctly once, but can't remember how it was done vis a vis HSL coloring.
