Tweak #19 - december 26, 2001

Microsoft has been experimenting a lot with flat buttons and all different kinds of 3D looks.
This tweak introduces a new kind of flat look for buttons and menus and the like.
Certainly worth trying!

The tweak

Go to the registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/Colors

Look for the following values:

ButtonHilight
ButtonShadow

These values will probably exist. If not, create them as REG_SZ values.

Set ButtonHilight to the following value:

128 128 128

and set ButtonShadow to the following value:

255 255 255

As you will see this comes down to swapping these values.

You will need to restart or log off for the new settings to take effect.
