ok.. so i just recently noticed the 'Edit Vista Part Colours' in SKS6 under the 'Change Skin Colours' and though this (recently?) added feature is already proving (to me at least) pretty cool, its not actually 'labled' what each color is for.. just the RGB of the color.
So, I started a list of what the colors are and where they apply. However this is only a partial list as I could not determine what some of them actually changed.
If you can figure out what the missing colors (the light gray italiced numbers) are then by all means fill it in, I'll check back periodically on this thread to 'complete' the list as more items are found out as to what they actually pertain to... so... here is the list as of 8-13-08

Hopefully you find this useful
PS: This has been added to the Wiki Pages as well here http://wiki.wincustomize.com/wiki/SkinStudio_Help:_Edit_Vista_parts_colours
SK can you do a UI comparison to find it and then maybe do a listing in a note for future reference?<p>

There were supposed to be some new tutorials released with SKS 6.2 but for some reason they seem to have been delayed. I will find out what is going on with those.
The Vista specific colours and fonts are a very new feature which is why there is currently no documentation on them. This will be improved in future SKS builds.
If you do have a specific problem then your best bet is to e-mail me directly.
There are many great features available to you once you register, including:
