Title: How to change some colors?
Post by: arecky on May 21, 2013, 11:54:49 am
Hi, I'm new and I need to resolve a few issues. How to change the background and text in gray, green, red and pink selection. Background and gird in white selection. And the white color in the selection yellow and blue?

Hmm .. white stripes can be adjusted using the sliders to adjust the colors, but not the point.

Yellow is Fonts, Colors, & System Metrics > Fonts & System Metrics > BTNFACE:COLOR
Red is Toolbars, Headers, & Rebar > Toolbars & Headers > Header > HeaderItem and Fonts, Colors, & System Metrics > Fonts & System Metrics > BTNTEXT:COLOR
White is Windows 8 (For Testing Purposes Only) > Task Manager > Performance Charts > CPU > Background and Grid
Blue you can't change
Green can only be changed if you force the Ribbon into High Contrast Mode. Black High Contrast would be black BTNFACE:COLOR and white BTNTEXT:COLOR
Gray will still stay blue using a Black High Contrast Ribbon
Pink I can't tell for sure because your picture is too small for me to see it clearly

Can't find that white background. Sorry.

Textcolor is Fonts, Colors, & System Metrics > Fonts & System Metrics > WINDOWTEXT:COLOR
Borders are Fonts, Colors, & System Metrics > Fonts & System Metrics > BTNSHADOW:COLOR

Ok thanks very much for your help. I have to look for some guidance, because the opportunities are huge and so hard to understand everything just like that. :)

Blue is Taskbar & System Tray > System Tray > Basic > System Tray Icons Panel Flyout > LinkArea
           Styles > FlyoutStyle > Link > Textcolor
Red is Toolbars, Headers, & Rebar > Toolbars & Headers > List View Pop-up
           Toolbars, Headers, & Rebar > Toolbars & Headers > List View Pop-up (Bottom) > Button
           Toolbars, Headers, & Rebar > Toolbars & Headers > List View Pop-up (Bottom) > <default> textcolor
           Buttons, Boxes, & Controls > Boxes > Edit > Basic > EditText > Disabled > Textcolor
Yellow  When Inactive:  Buttons, Boxes, & Controls > Boxes > Edit > Basic > Background
                                   Buttons, Boxes, & Controls > Boxes > Edit > Basic > EditBorder(NoScroll)
                                   Fonts, Colors, & System Metrics > Fonts & System Metrics > WINDOWTEXT:COLOR
            When Active: All of the above and Fonts, Colors, & System Metrics > Fonts & System Metrics > WINDOW:COLOR
                                                                                                                                                      > HIGHLIGHT:COLOR
                                                                                                                                                      >HIGHLIGHTTEXT:COLOR

White: For some reason your top taskbar has transparent or missing images.
          You have to put solid images at  places like Taskbar & System Tray > TaskBand > Basic > TaskBand > BackgroundTop or Taskbar & System Tray > TaskBand > Basic > TaskBand (SmallIcons) > BackgroundTop

I don't know the situation. I don't know how much you are actually missing. Attach your msstyles so we can take a look at how bad it is :)

I made some corrections in my last post. Take a look.

You also have to change the image at Taskbar & System Tray > TaskBar > Aero > TaskBar > BackgroundTop

You can find almost all of this stuff in the Tutorials > Map Board you know :)
