I was looking through DevianArt recently and found this visual style:

Called Sh4rp by The Greenhouse Troll (TGT Design)
I did not find a Windowblinds versioni here on the site, so I downloaded the VS and converted it to WB format in SkinStudio, for my personal use.
However, I didn't like the taskpane color in the Shell, as it was a dull, flat blue which didn't really seem to work well in my opinion.
So using SkinStudio, I went into XP Shell, and I changed the Taskpane Background Color Attribute and the Background Gradient Color Attribute to get a version more pleasing to my eyes, and the preview looked quite nice to me. (Specifically, I am referring to the area in the Taskpane where command areas such as the "FIle and Folder Tasks" show up.)
I saved the changed skin as a renamed file, which showed up in WindowBlinds without trouble. However, when I loaded the Blind, I saw no evidence of the changes I made to the taskpane.
If I go to the "code" tab, I see that the source code (lines 1945 through 1951) have changed to reflect the colors I selected, so I do not understand why they do not seem to be applying when I load the skin.
Am I missing a step in my attempt to make the change or save the file?
Is it possible that some kind of conflict is arising because I still have the original Sh4rp imported blind in my system at the same time as the renamed version?
I would like to figure out how to get my changes to work. Any advice would be appreciated.
