you must do the file in vista style builder and then

4. Preview Pane Background Colour on the Right:

Explorer & Shell - Explorer - ReadingPane - Background - GradientColor1:color
Explorer & Shell - Explorer - ReadingPane - Background - GradientColor2:color
Explorer & Shell - Explorer - ReadingPane - Background - GradientColor3:color


color 1 is the backround

2 and 3 is for the textcolor!

Yes you can do it with Restorator, here is a guide for use with Vista but most of it should apply to Windows 7 as well I think. http://virtualcustoms.net/showthread.php/27780-Vista-Hex-Edit-Tutorial-For-Windows-VISTA

can you say me which areas,you have fixed?

just like you mentioned ..

Explorer & Shell -> Control Panel - > Content Pane - Fill Color black

Also have to change the Text and fill colors under Styles->ControlPanelStyle to make it readable

...

I could have uploaded my theme but I don't know if it's "legal"; it's basically a "work over" of Mr. Pauli's X Win 7 and some stuff taken from Mr. Grim

You can upload it bud, just remember to give the contributing artist some credit ;)

P.S. Where do you change the top pane image with the Header on it, is it in the shell32.dll?
