At last, we now can set the color/contrast of the desktop and not be so blinded by the abundance of white.....
Thank you, Corel, for this nice gift.
Pretty damn cute.

Not.
Do I even want to install this update?
Premium membership to change UI color scheme??!!??...er....well...LMAO!
Well, suku, it is a new feature isn't it? Only premie members get new features during a release cycle.
If this wasn't so pathetic it really would be funny.

Mr Mike, talk to me chief. What part of the reg do I edit to change the desktop color?
Here's the standard disclaimer...edit the registry can have unintended consequences...do so at your own risk...
Start regedit.exe
You should probably back-up the Registry before going any further.
The location is:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Corel\CorelDRAW\17.0\Draw\Application Preferences\WindowScheme
Likely you could just do a search in the registry for:
PageMatColor
The color gray you see in my post above is the number: 14277081
Here's a way you can see the number needed for whatever color you want.
There is also a key named WindowBorderColor. Write down or copy the number that is there to a Notepad instance.
Have CD open as well. Go to the Global Options section. You can change the title bar color to what you would like the PageMatColor to be. Save the CD Options.
Now switch back the regedit. Press F5 to refresh the display (it actually should auto-refresh upon regaining focus). Now double-click the WindowBorderColor key. Copy the number. Cancel. Double-click the PageMatColor key. Paste the number in its value box. Click OK.
Now double-click on the WindowBorderColor key. Copy/Paste the former WindowBorderColor value back into the value box that you copied to Notepad.
Save. Exit and restart CD.
Again, edit the registry at your own risk...
Take care, Mike

Hey, thanks for the list. That's pretty cool.
Mind telling me how the list was created?
Not sure how carlos got the list, but I did find this hexdecimal to decimal converter. If you know the color's hex# you can use the converter to get the decimal you need.
