how to change a certain color in picture manager

[GrouchoM]

Hello!

In Picture Manager, the color of the 'cutting-lines' when you try to crop a
picture, is white. I do a lot of work in cropping scanned pages of magazines,
which are also white. Therefore I'd like to change the color of those
'cutting-lines' to something more recognizable (red-hot, for instance). Does
anyone know how to do this? Maybe with a registryhack or whatever . . . .
Thanks in advance for any help.

Groucho.

Try a different application...
www.irfanview.com has a crop function, simple and fast. The program is free, get the
plug-ins too.

Thanks for the swift reply, Mary!

But it's not the answer I'd like to see. I'm aware of the existence of
Irfanview, but in this case I want to use Picture Manager. Therefore I really
want to know how to change this color . . .

You can't drive to Hawaii.

Sorry Bob!

I have to disagree with you. My native language is dutch. And your english
"drive" has almost the same sound as the dutch word "drijven", witch means
"to float". So, in my own language (and given the correct current), I can
"drijf" to Hawaii!! )

On the other hand, I understand what you mean. Is there really no way to
change this color? How about a deep dive with a hex-editor?

As always misunderstanding,

Groucho.

Not a problem, the reason is the same. A Picture manager is not the same
as an Image editor. Wishing it had a feature it doesn't have won't make
it work like it does. Drift is almost Drive but isn't the same. If you
wish to edit, you will need to use something capable.

 

[GrouchoM]

Ok Bob. We're clearly on different paths here.

FYI: The Picture Manager I mention here is part of Office 2003 and is
capable of editing the pictures in a way I want them to. So I can drive or
drift or whatever.

It's only a small aspect I'd like to be changeable and that is the color of
some help-lines. In a lot of other similar applications something like that
(changing systemcolors) is possible. So why not in a Microsoft-application?

I'm not asking for answers which do NOT help me further.
I'm looking for some (super)hacker who knows where to change which bytes or
entries in either the application, any dll or the registry to achieve my
goal. And then tells me how to do it.

After all, somwhere there are some bytes dictating the color of those lines
.. . . .

Please try to help in a positive way.

Groucho.

Sorry, to my knowledge it is hard coded in a file. I haven't seen
anything in the registry for Picture manager like that.

Thank you, Bob.

Anybody else?
