thanks alot ronny. Pretty cool.

Do you happen to have a list of the bitmaps that youve found and dealt with so far?

I use “Restorator”, an app where I take out the bitmaps.

I take out one by one, the bitmaps I want to change.

Changes them, or make new ones in Photoshop.

Then I put them back again where I taken them from.

The bitmaps have numbers.

It’s easy with “Restorator”, you only drag the bitmaps out. And you drag the new ones back to the right place again when you have prepared theme.

In the first place, I had to find out which bitmap belongs to which part of the theme.

I used sometime to figured that out. :)

Microsoft changes the bitmaps in every beta version. Changes the size, the whole look, putt then in new places, and add more bitmaps.

That’s the fun part.. :D

But I have done skins for almost all beta, and some alpha versions of Vista/Longhorn, so I have good training now. :o

Here is a list of some of them:

You will not find every part in the “aero.msstyles”

I don’t know in which other files Microsoft has placed the rest of the bitmaps.

The glass bitmaps for the title bare is not there.

I wish I knew where it was. :(

Do you need to patch a dll before use of the skins?

To use this skins you have to replace your “uxtheme.dll” file in “C:\Windows\System32” directory, with the new one.

Then you have to replace you’re “aero.msstyles” with the new one. “C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\Aero”

You find all the files you need with the skins

That’s it!
