Custom Coloring

Published on August 29, 2005 By alphabyte In RightClick

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if there was a way for RightClick to adopt the custom colors of a windowblind. In the example below, I have recolored Brewman's DogmaX green. However, looking at my RightClick menu, it has retained the default blue color scheme. I have also noticed this same behavior if a windowblind has multiple substyles of different colors. Only the "default" color scheme is adopted by RightClick. Anyway, if anyone knows a solution to this problem, I would appreciate it greatly. (Or, is this a feature not yet implemented in RightClick, or is it windowblind dependent?) Many thanks in advance.

What if you recolor the skin and then open it in skin studio, it the colored skin there? and will it allow you to save it (with another name)..would that not give you a 'default' skin for right click to pick up? I think right click picks up from WB.

Nope.

There is a way.......... you could open the menu bits in your graphics editor, recolor them, and save in a seperate folder. Then use the new RC Menu Skin Tool (found in the RC directory) to create a new menu with the recolored images.

The new Skin Tool requires .NET Framework 2.0 runtimes.
