How to change just one color in a skin (style)?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Hello Members & Support,

I am using the Office2007.cjstyle.

But one particular color (BtnFace) is too dark for me.

How do I change just that? Is it possible to do it runtime? If not, how do I edit the .cjstyle file?

I tried the SkinBuilder, but when I create a new schema, all the attributes sees to be read only (even for the new schema).

Thanks.

Regards,
Gautam Jain

	You suggestion did not help much. SkinBuilder works in a different way. After much of research I found that you need to add a property to modify a new schema. The new property overrides the existing property. Now, I was able to change the color that way. Suggestions: You need to change some terminology in the SkinBuilder 1. Right clicking on any property should show a menu item "Edit Property". This should automatically create a new property in the edit mode. 2. Right clicking does not have "Delete Property". Only "Cut". So to delete a property, we need to use "Cut" in the current version. 3. It should be made clear to the user how a new schema can be edited. Make life easier for the developer who is evaluating the product. You will get more money and praise.
