Changing the window color.. any way to do this?

Post by LfmC »

I've edited most of the Xnview's interface, made som cool black folders and background resembling my old picture viewer ACDsee... but whatever I do, I can't seem to find a way to edit the windows color itself.
Is there any way to do this, other than changing the windows theme to a black one?
(Win7 x64, Latest Xnview)


Example:

P.S. If anyone has a link to the Matte DeLuxe (Sasha Rio) toolbar icons skin, I'd appreciate it. Can't seem to find it anywhere on the forum.

Thanks

LfmC, have you considered sending sashario a private message asking him to upload a new version (updated from v2 to v4) of his skin?

hello! I've been looking for this too as I've changed operating systems and updated XnView in the process - I'll upload my (old) version of the skin for you in just a mo.

Right! Here it is: Matte DeLuxe (old, but works fine on current versions of XnView, don't know what's missing yet as it probably relates to features I don't use!)

Thanks m8 :)

Now that leaves only the question of changing the color of the window from windows default to another color... anyone know if this is possible and how to do it?

:) Hello !

• From Options (F12) >> Thumbnail you can change the background colour of the board of thumb nails,
similarly in Options >> Preview the one of the Preview BG…
- But AFAIK you can't change the colour of the tree dock BG, which comes from the system…
