In the year 2012 the Apocalypse is upon us and the end is coming swiftly for all evil and those who doubt the almighty creator, whoever survives in the later days will bask in the glory and eternal light of the creators kingdom.

A new complete set of icons is also available for free as well as many other great extras thanks to the VC Team and members.

Every effort was made to make sure every part of this theme is fully usable and has been extensively tested to make sure you are getting the best product possible.

If you are not satisfied or find a problem that needs fixing please let me know and I will do my best to fix your problem.

The theme comes in 2 parts, you can purchase just the theme from the VC Shop, which comes with an easy to use installer that also includes a new logon screen and Theme Resource Changer to change the Start Button, Explorer navigation buttons and Control Panel Navigation panes.

The second part of the theme is posted here for free download and will require 7tsp to install, the second part of the theme includes all the icons, windows media player skin, Task Manager mod and many other changes.

(Please ensure you have restored all your system files before installing the new one and although 7tsp does create a restore point it's still probably best to manually create one yourself beforehand.)

When using the 7tsp installer with the theme extras it will not replace any system files, it will only add the modifications to your existing files and at the same time make backups of your files, so if you do have some mods already it should not effect those, unless one of the mods you have is one of the things listed above.

Theme Installs and the Theme Pack Extras were tested on my x86 VM and my main x64 Windows 7 Ultimate machine and both installed without any problems.

Information

Important! YOU MUST DO THIS FIRST! You must enable the use of custom themes by patching your system with Universal Theme Patcher [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

WARNING

If you install the 7tsp theme extras and find you have lost your sound or if you are using a Creative Sound Card you will need to use Restore on 7tsp and then remove the pack from 7tsp, then open the 7-zip archive and in the resource folder you will see shell32.dll.res, you need to delete that file and then repack the theme pack using 7-Zip again, then load it into 7tsp again and reinstall it. For some reason Creative sound cards do not like any changes to the shell32.dll and there is no way to get around that, the only thing that you will miss out on will be a few icons and the copy delete animation mod, nothing major and you will still have a great experience without them.

mr grim i have a question.....
can you pls tell me what i have to learn so i can make themes like yours.
just a few pointers to get me going in the right direction.......
thanks.

Well first you need to get your hands on a copy of Windows Style Builder
Plus a copy of a graphic editor like photoshop or gimp.
You will need a resource hacker program like restorator also

Once you have all those check out the tut section of the forum [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Keep in mind your not going to build a theme in a single evening they take a lot of work and time.
When grim is building his themes he will spend several weeks or longer on it. But this is also why his are the top themes.
It all depends on how in depth you want to push it and how polished you want it to look when your finshed.

dumb question here but whats the difference between these ,i have downloaded others like this but i wasnt sure the difference

HUD_Apocalypse_Icons_Theme_Extras_Topshell_X86
and
HUD_Apocalypse_Icons_Theme_Extras

[Big V]

The difference is the topshell enables your detail pane to be at the top of your windows pane and the other is the standard with the detail pane at the bottom of the windows pane

I'm having nothing but issues with the installation of this theme :s

First it would go through the process of creating the temp files and "installing" the theme, but when I got to the last page of the installer and selected my desired theme it told me it could not find that theme.. it does the same with all 4.

After a while I got as far as having it mostly installed except for the taskbar/start orb. I tried to start again and it won't get past the initial issue with the theme selection.

I've tried moving the themes over manually but it doesn't work, I've set the compatability to win7 and also run as administrator. None of it works, from the guides I looked up I'm doing it exactly like everyone else is but not getting the same results of course and as far as I can tell (through some google hunting) its not a common issue.. in fact I came up with nothing on it :/

Any help?

Cheers

Did you get the theme from our shop??

Did you get the theme from our shop??

yeah mate, just earlier this evening.

I managed to get most of the theme up and running again but not the task bar, start orb or the bar along the top.

It seems that at the end of the installation when it should transfer the files from TEMP to THEMES it fails to do so. I had a look after the installation and all the folders in the themes were empty and the files were still in the temp folder even though the installer clearly states it is deleting the temp files.

Basically to get it to load any of the theme at all I have to move the temp folders/files over manually when I'm presented with the choice of 4 themes at the end of the installer... not really sure what's going on as I'm not running any dodgey software to interfere with it (im actually on a clean win7 install - reinstalled today after an overclock went incredibly wrong ) and i have patched my system with the universal patcher software..
