1 AeroBlend uses it's own algorithm to obtain the predominant color with results that may differ from the native Windows algorithm. Obtaining the predominant color can also be done by setting the color manually. In wallpaper mode, AeroBlend will remember the manual set color and override the automatic color every time the same wallpaper is used.
