Windows RP for Windows 10 Technical Preview

Thanks for your effort xXiNightXx, although windows 10 or maybe MS going to name 11 at release, is still underground.

 

I have Windows Style Builder 1.5.4.6 beta and OldNewExplorer 1.1 , I'd like to know how to make this picture like in your Windows Aero theme for windows 8.1 Update 1:

You can just patch the shellbrd.dll file with resource hacker to change the logo.

Thanks DosProbie, but I found that editing this file and basebrd.dll breaks Windows activation.

plus Microsoft could update Windows files and remove it.

@Moataz, I have never Had A Issue with "Breaking" the activation when changing the unprotected shellbrd file, but since this is a across the board system change I could see Windows updates reverting it back to the default bmp file.

Sorry, I wasn't accurate, the activation breaks only when editing basebrd.dll not shellbrd.dll.

Seems I'm going to stay with it, since I don't know how to modify theme files correctly to do it.

 

Thanks.

can you share the theme? It looks nice :)

 

Sure np, I tried PMing you but it didnt work. Send me one and I will shoot you the link. I'd have to get author's permission to release more widely I think

 

Edit: My original work (psd, png, reg) is available here: https://mega.co.nz/#!zIIAzIQB!oIhhIDwjFBLlHClxKEA1fDYRRR8l1T7olsBufU3-XRs (needs Snowy8, files are named after the resource numbers)

I can send you the patched file if you PM me or enable PM's  :huh: or you can use any resource editing tool. I used Resource Hacker. The changes are made to GlassSnowy8.msstyles
