632 & 633 shell 32 replacement images

[Mr GRiM]

If your going to do it in the shell32.dll system file then you only need to change it for the system32 folder but as you found out, you need to copy it to your desktop and then add your new images and save it, then rename the original and and add your new one back in, but I do not recommend this method as it has more chance of going wrong plus using Theme Resource Changer means that you can have different images for each theme you select and it will all change with the theme without you needing to do anything.

I just changed the 633 and it worked real nice. I did it with the TRC and put it in the theme folder. Now the 633 I used was dark but the image underneath you could still see the diagonal stripes so I added a 200 x 600 PNG to the same shell 32 folder and renamed it 632. When I restarted there was a black image that covered about 2thirds of 633. What I wanted was for the 632 black to be underneath the 633, but obviously It doesn't work that way. How do I get a dark image underneath the 633 so you can't see the diagonal light stripes. I put the 632 in the same folder as the 633, but the PNG's weren't the same size as far as kb's. Somewhere the compression must be different to make 2 images 200 x 600 be a different size in kb's. I don't know I'm asking Mark.

I did not know this would work with a black background> Very cool! I thought because it downloaded as a white background it would show as a white background. Does it ever look nice with the dark background. I'm starting to get the hang of these 632 and 633 images. Grim gave me a nice little tutorial on working with those and they really help a theme look good.

Hi,

I was just wondering if anybody could give me a few words of advice.
I can't seem to get the 635 Image to appear the one that says ALIENWARE in big red type.
I put it where it was supposed to go and I have the entire theme working except for that.

Im Pretty sure it's supposed to show up there.
Any thoughts?
