Title: WSB Properties Box Fill Color? Task Manager Selected Text Color?
Post by: Yushatak on August 07, 2012, 04:48:39 pm
My theme is entirely complete, until I find something broken or forgotten anyway.

Last thing on my list - in WSB, the properties area.. it only outlines the item in my color, and does not fill it. I can't find where/how to sort that out.

Also, if anyone knows how/if you can change the text for selected task manager items let me know.

1) What exactly do you mean by properties area/box?  I can think of a couple places that might be. Picture?

2) No. You can't change that black textcolor :(

2. Well f#$% task manager then. D: It's not like we stare at that 24/7, though, so it's OK...

The highlight border in WSB properties is:
Fonts, Colors, & System Metrics > Fonts & System Metrics>HIGHLIGHT:COLOR

Note : This  edit  won't show in a WSB test, you  have to save the theme and apply it ...

No no.. you misunderstand - it's the color I want it, I just want it to fill the whole  box, not just be a border.

It's hardcoded into WSB.

..but it does this in WinRAR too, and also when I mouseover unselected items in WinRAR it turns the whole bar black..

*looks around for things that are black when selected*

For mouseover in Winrar add a fillcolor to  Lists, Menus, & Tabs > ListView > ListItem or add images to all the states

Should have responded a bit back, but thank you! Unfortunately due to the stupid hardcoded black text all over, I had to make some of my highlights a different color.. I'm thinking perhaps that text can be changed in shell32 or explorer/taskmgr? I'll look myself, but if anybody knows if it is, or where, that'd speed things.

Hello Yushatak!

We all deal with (at least) two anoying things when we theme windows :

-1) "windowcolor"      -2) the unreachable black textcolor

that's life  ;)
