MS Office 2003 Skinning

from WinCustomize Forums
Hello,

I have just started to use WindowBlinds and SkinStudio - is there a way to skin MS Office, so that the menu and toobars inherit the skin style for the rest of the OS ?

TIA

From the WB newsgroup archives:

Skins can now tell office to use the luna blue or silver look via this attribute

[Personality]
MakeOfficeBlue = (1 = blue, 3 = silver, 0 = WB default)

If you don't want to set it to blue or silver, don't add this attribute.

The same values can be used in WB.ini in the [GLOBAL] section for overriding skins which don't have this attribute.

You will probably have to set this attribute manually - that is, open the UIS or SSS file in notepad and go to the [Personality] section and add the line in.

I've noticed that when I switch from a skin with say a white page background to a skin with a tan page background the Office apps change from white to tan also. The title bar, status bar and scroll bars are skinned. However, the buttons, menu mouseovers etc. do not skin.
