iFlex Problems

[CeL_dAmAgE]

Well, as many of you know about the great iFlex WB5 theme is out here, and many of you are using this. I don't know if you know this already, but for some odd reason, when using this theme, I get this incredibly annoying problem regarding folder colors.

That's what I'm talking about. Instead of a normal color, its inverted and looks messed up. Anybody know of a simple fix for this?

Oh yeah, I forgot to say this doesn't happen when using other themes like VistaXP or Fresco. Changing the icon set doesn't help. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have searched before on google and here on Neowin, but the thing is, apperantly a lot of people have problems, so just typing in "iFlex Problem" gets me a ton of different choices.

Thanks guys.

I actually get similar ugly highlights on files in explorer.

CeL_dAmAgE and bangbang023: it's not a iFlex or WindowBlinds bug, it's a Explorer fault, here is a link for the explanation that Neil (WB front man) gave me, (check the comment here) http://danillooc.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin...&p=2&comments=1

"Its an XP thing. XP combines the selection colour with the icon incorrectly and the end result is weird colours on the icon. This can be reproduced with Windows Classic too, just set the selection colour to the one used by this skin & you will get the same result."

well the creator of the skin could have used some darker-simular-to-standart selected item color

why not?

Suicide: really like the way the selection are but you can easily chage it using SkinStudio (theres a freeware version too)

1 - Get SkinStudio here: http://www.stardock.com/products/skinstudio/

2 - Open the skin in SkinStudio and you will see some large icons onleft of the skin preview, click the large icon called "Classic Colors"

the preview will change to the Classic Colors configurations, click the selection mark in this preview and on botton will appear the

settimgs to change the color

3 - Put the color you want, save and apply the skin ;)
