Hello everyone,
I would like to change the color of the "bounding box" (1) of the window Sidebar Gadget and the "round button" (2).
The Gadgets run on Windows 8.1 Pro with the program "8GadgetPak v.12".

You can go into the RCData folder in sidebar.exe in Program Files > Windows Sidebar and change a lot of png images, including those you are pointing to. You'll need Restorator or Resource Hacker to be able to open/modify the .exe, and some kind of image-editing program like Paint.NET, GIMP, or Photoshop.

It being 8GadgetPak, the sidebar.exe might be in another location however..... You'll just have to look for it, then experiment.

Find !!!
You're absolutely right to edit the images are in the file "sidebar.exe" (C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Sidebar\sidebar.exe).
