I want and love to use the Night Sky contrast color theme...I have changed the other colors to red. Totally Slick,

,,,,but why is File Explorer is Purple ? LOL

I do not see any purple in the edit mode. I want the purple to be black.

I am using Startisback too....but it shouldn't effect the theme ?

any suggestions ?

Depending on which Explorer mode you are running via SAB, it may still be buggered up!

Working with your chosen colors, via the aforementioned Color and Appearance applet, you can get it pretty close...

Even ChatGPT couldn’t find a solution for this. I just made an account to say thanks. I really appreciate it!
