[Tool] Se7en Theme Source patcher v0.3 Build 3003

[Fixit]

Hi,

We're currently working on a Theme Source Patcher for Windows 7.
sorry, project as good as dead...

Icon Packs:
The Icon Packs are still basic and in development.
However, anyone can build and share there own custom packs.
containing:
~ A custom Logon screen
~ A custom side panel bitmap
~ A .themepack file or a .theme file and folder
~ Custom .ani Cursors
~ Customs sounds and sound schemes
~ New Fonts
~ Any amount of .Res files
(any system32 file can be added in .res format. e.g. "shell32.dll.res")
These packs can be installed and used via the options menu in the patcher.

Pack.ini:

Code: [Base Pack] Pack=name of your custom pack Base by=name of pack creator Version=version number of your custom pack Date=date [7tsp] theme creator=name theme=mytheme.theme <<The name of the theme file as placed in the "Extra" folder, e.g.: mytheme.themepack or mytheme.theme (and place the folder that goes with it "mytheme" also in the "Extra" Folder). uxhex=yes <<<In case the theme needs uxtheme.dll to be patched else write "no". [taskmanager] grid=556677 <<<< only 6 digits correct hex values can be put here. CPU=FF0000 Digits=FF0000 memory=FF6A00 [CopyAnimation] color1=000000 color2=000035 color3=003C77 Fontcolor=FFFFFF

Se7en Theme Source Patcher

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
The Se7en Theme Source Patcher has been built from scratch, including the new res files and modifications made by Kirs.

More then 85 files and 426 icons, bitmaps and cursors can be replaced with one of the official basic color packs,
and any amount of res files can be used in a personal pack as long as the system file exists.

The Patcher:

Download: 7tsp_GUI_v0.3_B(3003)

Full change log: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]


Options:

Start Patching: Patch your Windows 7.
You can select a custom pack in the Options menu.
It is also possible to merge your custom pack with the internal Black pack.

Restore: Restores the patched files to the backup made at 7tsp's first run.
For extra security, the patcher by default creates a Restore Point every time you patch your system.
You can disable this in the Options menu.
It is also possible to manually create a Restore Point (Program > Create Restore Point).

Logon Screen:
You can select whether the Logon screen should be patched or not, and you can also select a custom picture.

Side Panel:
You can select weather the Side Panel should be patched or not, and you can also select a custom picture.

Cursors:
You can select whether or not the animated cursor files should be replaced.

Explorer.exe:
You can select whether or not Explorer.exe should be patched.

Debug log:
Here you can select whether or not a debug log should be created. This is useful for pack creators, to debug resfiles.

Clean Icon Cache:
When not all icons have changed, you can manually clean the icon and thumbnail cache to refresh these.


What happens to your system files:

1. If Start Patching is clicked, the Patcher will extract the selected resource pack to the work folder and look for each system file this pack will mod.
A backup will be made of those files in the case a backup does not yet exist. If Windows updated a file the backup will be updated as well.

2. The current file ownerships of a file are stored and then administrator ownerships are taken.

3. The file will be patched with the new resources and replaces the original file.

4. The file ownerships will be restored.

To Do:
~ add task manager color change support
~ add more detailed start button support
~ Add GUI language support



Notes:
Windows 7 Only! (x86/x64)

Icons were modified using: Icon FX
Bitmaps were modified in: Paint.net and gimp

More options and icons will be added along the way..

Regards,

Fixit

Nice work Fixit and though the icons are basic they are still very appealing, feel free to use any of my packs to create installers with also

This looks fascinating, I,ll have to read it a few times to get my head round it.
Amazing, this will help loads of people,adding the extras that come with themes sometimes causes problems for people.

i have put it on the todo list..
ill write a translation code, to use a lang.ini to translate the program it self...
