I have a customized theme installed and makes Outlook impossible to use. Most emails come in with black text but the background in the reading pane is dark gray and I can't read the emails. Also when...

Thx again nofx, great idea. However, I am curious as to why we can't change the text color. Most people on this site create dark themes and it would make more sense to have these types of boxes and...

Thx nofx. Hmmm I wonder then if I should change the background color as I cannot read the black text on the dark gray background. If I can do this, which section is it?

Then how do I change it? What sections of Vista Style Builder will change the text to a more readable color for me?

I am having some problems with an installed theme. Please see pic attached. Is this because it is not installed correctly or do I need to tweak some stuff? If tweaking is required, please let me know...

Hi John. I don't know if your question has been answered yet but there is a great tutorial on just about every screen Windows 7 has and where to change it. Here is the link...

Thanks, nofx. My thoughts exactly. Guess it's time to "brush" up on my PS skills and find brushes that will work for my Elder Scrolls theme. :icon_wink:

I have long admired a web template designer on Deviantart.com. He goes by the name Karsten. One of his most intricate designs can be seen here - https://karsten.deviantart.com/gallery/6020574#/d31zf9....

As I sit here trolling the boards to see what everyone is up to while I reload all my programs after replacing my HDD and installing Windows 7 on my PC finally, it came to me that I have a great idea...

Thanks, Hack. I appreciate your help.

I have been looking all over this site and googled how to create docks but can't find anything on general rules for creating a dock. Could someone please post a tutorial on this so that others like...

The start menu is looking good now and I see how you helped me out, Grimm, with slicing the left side of the menu bar so that it can expand properly with the addition of more programs. I also did...

Ok so I admit to being slow! I had replaced images in taskbar & system tray>taskbar>aero>taskbar><1> and <3> with my own images last week. I decided this morning to move the taskbar from the top of...

I just wanted to let you know that I am starting over from the beginning. I am using the basic Aero style and using the tutorial here on VC and going through each section. I think it will be a lot...

That invisible box could be left over from another theme. I applied the stylehack and this is what I get. I may have to start from scratch to eliminate any residual theme pieces. I am also trying to...

Thanks Grimm. I appreciate your help on this. :happy:

Just so I understand you, go into Fireworks and make the image 241 px then in Style Builder increase the sizingmargins for PlacesList to 0, 240, ?, ? - correct? Also on the contentmargins:margins I...

Ok I took the plunge and upgraded to 1.5. I am looking at the sections where Grimm said to tweak. They are all under Start Menu - Panels. However, there are some in Aero and some in Basic. Since I am...

Thanks for the warm welcome from everyone. Yay Raven, another female builder! It seems that we girls are a minority when it comes to this type of stuff. I have a very creative mind and love to let it...

Thanks for the help, Grimm. I am currently using 1.4 version but am thinking about updating to the 1.5 version. Do the instructions you gave apply to both versions?

Hi everyone,
I have been lurking on this site for a while now and finally got the courage to start customizing my own themes. I live in Parker CO in the US and am a freelance web designer with a...
