Guest Herne Hunter6 Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 Hello. I want to change the colour of the compressed file folders from the default blue to something which is compatible with the window colour I want to use for my theme. The default blue is unreadable with the window colour I want to use. How can I do this (without changing each one individually)?

I guess I wasn't clear enough. I want the compressed folders to have a different colour font from the other folder & files but not the blue which I can't read on the dark green background I want to use.

Hi Herne, Try Alan Edwards suggestion about the tweakui. TweakUI will change the colour. http://windowsxp.mvps.org/tweakui.htm
