Change the Color White in the Background in the start Menu

Good Afternoon;

I would like to change the color white that appears as the background in the start menu, where the All Programs opens up, as well as at the backgrounds for documents, etc. My wife has vision issues, and the brightness is too intense for her. I would like to change the background color to a grey.

Currently,I am using Window Blinds and the Skin Editor.

I would appreciate any direction, and I Thank You for your help

Open the skin in SkinStudio Jim, then go to 'Edit Start Menu and Taskbar', then click 'Edit Start Menu'. Next click on 'Top Part', then click on the Extra Settings tab that is on the bottom of the page, scroll down the list until you see 'All Programs List Background Color' and change the color there.

Also, in regards to your inquiry about backgrounds in Documents etc. , that can be done from the main Windowblinds program interface by clicking on the Explorer Background tab and choosing a background. -- Ace ---

as well as at the backgrounds for documents, etc.

For explorer backgrounds, those can be changed from within the WB configuration window. Just go to the tab on the bottom.You can alao create your own and add them to it.

Edit: Got trumped by the Ace.

Good Afternoon All;

I believe that I omitted that I am on Windows 7 Pro. However, your replies gave me a lot of clues.

Now, I got the background on the Start Menu to be Dark, but the fonts are the next challenge. I see the font control in WB, but they are all only the Large fonts, and not the fonts for the individual programs.

Is there a location to set those colors and brightness as well? I am looking for a Bright Yellow to start with.

Thank you for your comments - they help a lot.

Jim
