Ecat Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 The little that Ive done so far has been with reshacker. Problem seems to be getting unique names so you just have to keep replacing it to use the mods. Im sure that will change soon.

ronnyhp Posted June 20, 2006 Author Share Posted June 20, 2006 (edited) 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: 799- Part of the title bar 816- Part of the title bar 825- Part of the title bar 829- Part of the title bar 805- Bottom frame 806- Left frame 807- Right frame 621- Part of the title bar 622- Part of the title bar 623- Part of the title bar 624- Part of the title bar 670- Start menu – All programs background – Not glass 676- Start menu – Main part - Right side - Not glass 677- Start menu - Line – Right side - Not glass 678- Start menu – Main part - left side - Not glass 679- Start menu – Nr. 1 - Main part - left side – Glass 680- Start menu – Background – search – Not glass 684- Start menu – All programs background – Glass 685- Start menu – Main part - Right side – Glass 687- Start menu – Nr. 2 - Main part - left side – Glass 688- Start menu – Nr. 3 - Main part - left side – Glass 689- Start menu – Background – search – Glass 707- Taskbar bottom and top – Not glass 708- Taskbar left and right – Not glass 713- Taskbar bottom and top – Glass 714- Taskbar left and right – Glass 853- Start button 854- Start button 855- Start button 667- Start menu – Shut down-log off button 669- Start menu – Shut down-log off button 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. :( Ronny Edited June 20, 2006 by ronnyhp Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/470827-new-theme-for-vista-beta2/page/2/#findComment-587623500 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambroos Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Do you need to patch a dll before use of the skins? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/470827-new-theme-for-vista-beta2/page/2/#findComment-587623633 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnyhp Posted June 20, 2006 Author Share Posted June 20, 2006 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!

Maybach907 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 It feels like you just too bits and pieces from other works and put it together. Not to mention you made the start button uglier.
