Hi,

does anybody know how I can change the menu background color in VSB? I mean the red marked path of the following screenshot:

Try either:

Toolbars, Headers and Rebar > Rebar > NavBar > Basic > NonTopmost > Background

Or:

Explorer & Shell > Explorer > Explorer Bar > Rebar > Background

I'm pretty sure it's one of those images. Or both..

Unfortunatley, both don't work for me
I'll try it again later...

Does someone has got another idea solving my problem? [See the screenshot above]

I think I got that by searching 'rebar' in the search field.  The rebar = the menubar if I remember correctly, so at least you'll know that it's one of the search results (there are quite a few rebar's).  You can do the hit and run method I use when I can't figure it out, but first save your .msstyle.  Then mke a 1x1 hot pink pixel and save it as .png, import the 1x1 hot pink pixel to your first search result and when prompted, resize it, refresh the theme, look at menubar and see if anything changes.  If not, then go to next search result, import 1x1 hot pink pixel, reload...

It's a tiresome process, but you'll find what you need... maybe quicker than it would take for someone to post a solution here  

Well, there were only 2 or 3 results, which had an image. But for me nothing has changed

It might be that Photoshop is playing wrong and is using the wrong way to draw the menubar.

Using a tool like Winspector (http://www.windows-spy.com/ (http://www.windows-spy.com/)) you can find out what Class the menu bar is by target-selecting it with the targetting tool. I would do this myself, but I don't own a copy of Photoshop.

1.for applications, like photoshop [active and inactive image] , List, menu, Tabs > menu > bar background
also on  List, menu, Tabs > menu > bar item    is the button  that is using when mouse over, pressed etc also you can change the text color for mouse over , pressed etc

2. for explorer windows, you can find it on :   toolbars headers and rebar > Rebar > Rebar    
and on : toolbars headers and rebar > Rebar > Default > background

there are also other 2 menu background images on  toolbars headers and rebar [ toolbars headers and rebar > Rebar > browser tabbar ,  toolbars headers and rebar > Rebar >Nav bar> basic > base > Non top most > background ].

also  :  Explorer & Shell > Explorer > Explorer Bar > Rebar > Background

-------------------------

TO AVE  and to Panda x : please is there a way possible [any chance] to add  different mouse over text color on explorer = i mean on elements exist on toolbars headers and rebar section ( for example : toolbars headers and rebar > Rebar > Rebar    and on  toolbars headers and rebar > Rebar > Default > background )  or a button image ?
 [on 1. applications as i have written it is possible but on explorer section ?]
