xplatinum Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 Its pretty easy (spookshow showed me the way). 1. DOWNLOAD and INSTALL StyleBuilder from TGTSOFT.COM. 2. Start StyleBuilder and IMPORT (open) the msstyle you want to colourize. 3. Click the Colourize tab and adjust the hue/sat/brightness 4. Click the APPLY button on the right and then ACTIONS>COMPILE&APPLY. (you can also save it with its own name) 5. Enjoy your own flavor of your favorite Visual Style !! //edit// could a Mod please change the title to How to Colourize Visual Styles ? thanks Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/130400-how-to-colourize-themes/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

+StevoFC MVC Posted January 9, 2004 MVC Share Posted January 9, 2004 no i doubt it. they'll try that. it will look like ****. and they will bitch. on most vs's the only way to make a good recolor/mod is to actually remake certain parts.

xplatinum Posted January 9, 2004 Author Share Posted January 9, 2004 i know. i never said it was bad. but people will still be asking for other colors and things. True, but on the other hand it will save us from all the people asking for 'how to colourize a VS' :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/130400-how-to-colourize-themes/#findComment-1575658 Share on other sites More sharing options...
.fury Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 stylebuilder does make colourising easier, yet next people will be posting questions about how to change the colour of the parts that turn dark purple or some other horrid colour...:s colourisation is best used on white/light grey themes, of course ;) like stevofc said dont expect miracles.

NightCrawler Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 I tried to colorize once but it completely screwed up my style. I think it's because i used some non default transparent items in my skin like the caption bar. I've put transparency in it to make it look just as thin as the maximized caption bar. Shame though, would have made things a hell of a lot easier.
