Fan of personalized desktop i would like to know how

- i can change the reactos desktop colour, or other desktop colours, knowing that the properties menu is still missing, and that i may need to tamper the registry or recompile a source...

- similar question for the "blue screen" boot / shutdown / crash
Always "allergic" against MS windows "blue-screens", i would appreciate to re-colourize the blue background and/or the white writing, whatever method, be it registry settings or changing and recompiling a source in the SRC...

That's both not easily possible as far as I know.

@gasmann

well i know it's not easy, but as i say, i don't hesitate to change it in a program source if necessary...

Consider it a practical joke by your dear friends the ReactOS developers

. The driver isn't called blue.sys for nothing!

But on the other side, if bluescreens would be green, you could say "ReactOS is 100% bluescreen free!"

And the thing with the desktop color, this will someday be possible to change through desktop properties, I don't know a way how to do it actually.

If you run the standard video settings you can use this page for instructions how to chage both resolution and color depth

And why not changing the blue (0,0,255) screen for a yellow(255,0,0) one instead of a green(0,255,0) screen?

I like that bluescreen idea...

Actually the RGB color (255,0,0) is Red if you want Yellow you should say (255,255,0).
PS. I'm not trying to be rude.
