Re: Windowblinds

I recently asked a question here about re-colouring my titlebars and so forth, in the same way as it could be done in Win 7. Specifically, I want to darken and / or re-colour the scroll bars.

S.M.A.C.C was recommended and I DL'd it, although I have not installed it simply because I was informed that it would not deal with scroll bars.

But a recent thread, here, asked about Windowblinds. I had WB years and years ago. Seemed like it did what it said it would do (including modifying the scrollbars) without too much hassle.

However, many of the skins seem like they were originally designed for earlier versions of Windows...although it is claimed that most will work with Win 10. I even recognize one that I had used years ago.

So my question is: Are there any indications that Windowblinds will cause trouble, or put a heavier load on the processor or interfere with other software (including Windows 10) ?

Any good reason to not use it?

There are user created Themes in this Forum that are way better than Window Blinds and they are free.

Nice looking themes but the scrollbars are all light grey on white...or so it seemed to me in the half dozen or so pages I looked at.

I don't know if you should install WB just to get colored scroll bars, I'd try some of the other suggestions first.

These are values SMACC modifies, and does include this.

Try this and tell us if it works, though I think Superfly commented on this in your previous thread. Thanks.

If SMACC will change the scrollbar colours, I'm gonna give it a try next. But I thought that conversation you mentioned (can't find it now) ended with the statement that SMACC didn't change scrollbars. My apologies.
