Visual style skin problem

I am having some problem using a visual style skin

I am using the "XXX" dark skin which is blue and black

I modded it for myself (without any experience just snooping around the script)

so now i have it Red and dark.

The problems i have:

1. The Background is Black and too dark i want it white

i snooped inside the script but i couldnt manage to change the background

from the skin itself, so i changed background to white in display properties

in windows itself, Problem is that VS skin overwrite the background

each time computer is started

any solution to set windows so that VS dont overwrite the color background

but still apply the skin at startup?

Or if this is not possible, can any skinners here just help me point out

where the Code is for the background so i can change it to white

from the skin.

2. The second problem i have is the Blue meny tab inside explorer

it has Blue characters i want it to have Red

I have been able to mod the skin to Red colors everywhere

except in this area, any help apreciated.

I dont upload the Modded skin here is for personal use,

but the original blue/dark skin is found here:

Here is the Code in TEXTFILE

inside the .msstyle file edited with resedit

i saved in it notepad and uploaded so you can check it out:

I could not find any option to set the background to white

or change the Blue colors tab on the left in the explorer meny:

I also checked the shell.dll file

if anyone need it i can upload the shell.dll file

if changes has to be done from that.

I just want the background to be White and

the reminding blue colors in the skin (see picture above) to be red.

Anyone can help?

Resediting is difficult for such tasks, but it works good for simple things (changing start button). If you were to use the StyleBuilder application you wouldn't have any of these problems. Why don't you give it a try?

i think i tried stylebuilder but didnt understand much of it
