Editing skins

[Steveman]

Hi,
General question about skins. I've downloaded one thats pretty good from the Flare gallery (Tabbed). If I wanted to make the buttons a nice shade of red rather than the brown they are now, where can I edit that? I've tried opening the Skin and editing the properties under Styles. The manual suggests that its FontBackground that would be changed but this doesn't seem to do anything when I preview it.

Can anyone suggest which property (or properties) I'd need to change to make the overall theme red?

The buttons are most likely separate images, so you'll have to edit them. The background color for the toolbar and accordion items can be changed in the skin editor, but not the color of the buttons.

this post - http://forums.madcapsoftware.com/viewto ... =9&t=11457 - talks about where to find the images used in a skin.

Thanks for that. It might be beyond me capabilities but I'll give it a go. Currently my Skin looks like it has third degree burns so I can't make it any worse.

Each button is it on graphics file, you will have to changer ther color for each button, time consuming but not too difficult withg a good graphics program.
