What other cool stuff can be done with "SetSysColor" ???

[iflash]

Hi, i'd recently found out from somebody that i can actually change the standard Window's Title Bar Color to what ever color i want. And i think it's sooo cool. But currently i only know one thing that can be done with this flexible api function. Can anyone tell me what other things i can do with this API and how??? It will be well appreciated!!!

many thanx~!

There are good api sites on the net. VBAPI is one of them:

Well, there's really nothing else you can do with that function besides change colors.

i mean OTHER api', or all of them!

I'm not sure if I understood you right, did you mean what other things you could change? If so look for any constant that begins with COLOR_. Here are just a few of them

Private Const COLOR_INACTIVEBORDER = 11
Private Const COLOR_INACTIVECAPTION = 3
Private Const COLOR_INACTIVECAPTIONTEXT = 19
Private Const COLOR_HIGHLIGHTTEXT = 14
Private Const COLOR_GRAYTEXT = 17
Private Const COLOR_BTNTEXT = 18
Private Const COLOR_BTNFACE = 15

If you meant where you can get other API functions, go to www.allapi.net and download API-Viewer.

Is there any way these or similar API's can be used to change the colors of just your running application without changing all running apps. I have seen the Title Bar Color App - but it changes all Title bars even the ones other apps created. I need a way to change system colors that are local t just my program.

Other people have asked about the Titlebar as well. The general consensus is that with this, it is either all or nothing.
