Title: Window Background Post by: soldiers33 on September 18, 2009, 10:49:00 pm How to change the background colour of a window? I have tried changing it in window color and appearance but it still appears white. Im talkin about the background that is in documents or pictures or other folders.

just checked the only thing i get is this Quote <if id="atom(clientviewhost)"> <ViewHost foreground="windowtext" background="themeable(gtc(ItemsView, 0, 0, 3802), window)" sortcolumn="themeable(gtc(ItemsView, 0, 0, 3802), window)" subtext="ARGB(255, 139, 139, 139)" how will I know which one to edit if there is like 6 of them and all have the same text and nowhere to enter the color. Title: Re: Window Background Post by: rajtheeban on September 19, 2009, 10:01:20 am i don't know if that answers your question, just change the "x" to your RGB color: <if id="atom(clientviewhost)"> <ViewHost foreground="themeable(ARGB(255, 86, 86, 86), windowtext)" background="themeable(ARGB(255, x, x, x), window)" sortcolumn="themeable(ARGB(255, x, x, x), window)" subtext="ARGB(255, 95, 95, 95)" ex: <if id="atom(clientviewhost)"> <ViewHost foreground="themeable(ARGB(255, 86, 86, 86), windowtext)" background="themeable(ARGB(255, 0, 0, 0), window)" sortcolumn="themeable(ARGB(255, 0, 0, 0), window)" subtext="ARGB(255, 95, 95, 95)" = Black background This is a complete list of RGB color available (name and code) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colors Complete tuto here: http://ZEUSosX.deviantart.com/art/Black-background-white-text-81934667 Title: Re: Window Background Post by: soldiers33 on September 19, 2009, 12:31:55 pm thx it worked.
