AceInfinity Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I could only find information about packing a .theme. Which is useless to me. I want to know how to edit the visual of more advanced things for windows 7 like the explorerframe, shell32, etc... How do these display the visual on a Windows 7 custom theme?

MagicAndre1981 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 don't edit the DLLs this causes issues with sfcthe real theme are the msstyles files.You can use this tool to edit the theme file:http://www.win7stylebuilder.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceInfinity Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 (edited) Thanks a lot for the link I have lots of spare time on my hands for computers, and I was interested in creating a full theme of my own. I'm sure if system file checker raised any issues for me I could keep a backup of the original dll in my main system drive and replace it with the custom one if needed through cmd. But i'll stay away from them at this point, since it looks like there is another method here that you've pointed out to me.Update: Shame It's not free. People don't make it easy to develop for Windows do they? lol Edited August 12, 2011 by AceInfinity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 you can also use a Resource Hacker tool like Anolis.Resourcer http://anolis.codeplex.com/releases/view/32286orhttp://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/to replace the resources of the msstyles.

AceInfinity Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 Ahh I wasn't thinking at the time. I actually already have tools of my own for this then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
