How Can I Create a Color Preset for a Theme?

Greetings,

 

I was wanting to edit one of the existing color presets to create a Black theme but adjusting the colors and contrast with the meters didn't turn out real well. I'm pretty new to Skin Editor but am willing to learn little by little. Can I edit or create my own color preset/theme? Choose what color to use for the taskbar, windows, buttons, etc.? Any advice is welcome and appreciated. Thanks |-)

I think you still can tweak around those settings on lower right corners of Style tab,it may turn out the way you want. Yet,should you want specific areas to be colourized,you will need SkinStudio which would be a learning curve.

I did it! I finally achieved what I was wanting to do! I didn't have to use Skin Studio whatsoever. All I used was the Textures feature in WindowBlinds. I went into Gimp created three different .jpg images that were just plain black and used those. Everything worked out perfectly. The text shows up great and everything! This only took me about 5 min to do. |-)  

 

Some of you may be wondering what all the hype is about because I want just a plain black theme. When I was on Windows 8.1 I always thought that black looked really good with the window borders and that's all I would use.
