Black Glass Aero

[Mr GRiM]

I'm using 3.0.17 again because I have had problems with any of the new versions, for some reason the colors on this site would show as purple instead of blue and I was getting the same thing in Photoshop and in any picture viewer, thought it might have been a bad video driver at first so went back to a really old one and it was still the same, strange thing is when I have no driver installed the colours are fine, but anyway this was the only Firefox version that seemed fine with the drivers installed and I found a work around for Photoshop as well, really don't know what happened to make this problem start in the first place though because it was fine at one stage.

Anyway mate, try an older version and tell me if the problem is still there or try out the personas add on, using the default theme or they don't work right, it should change the theme ok using that.

The Black Glass Media Player, wmploc.DLL didn't change the look of Windows Media Player. I placed the 64-bit version of the wmploc.DLL in the System32 folder and replaced the original one but there's no change even after restarting. Any way to fix this?

If your using x64 then you need to replace the one in SysWOW64.

Cool, Windows Media Player now matches the theme, thanks!

I thought I had to put the x64 version in the System32 folder because that's what I had to do with the timedate.cpl file to make the change of the calendar and clock.

nice^^

Mr.Grim is really a nice guy^^

i dont know if we got pc pro´s here, but i found some stuff out because of my sound Problem..
i just post it here, maybe someone knows something and can help me to find a workaround for all creative card users that wnat to mod or style theyr windows..

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

could it be that i have to reregister the modified shell32.dll with regserv.exe?
if so, or if this sounds logikal, how do i have to to this..

why do i think this?
i found this in google...this guy has the same problem, and the guy who tried to help said:

In general, for a dll to be woven into the system properly, it has to be "registered" with the OS using regsvr32.exe. That would, generally, be done by opening a command prompt with administrative privileges and executing the command "regsvr32 dllname.dll" (omitting quotation marks, and where 'dllname.dll' is the name/extension of the dll to register, in your case, that would be system32.dll).

heres the full conversation: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthr ... ?p=4774927

so, i did some research and tried to trace the footprints of the creative driver and programms that needs to run..

i also found out that creative sounds use powershell, and the shell32 ..

here is a pic where you can see what the creative driver is using..i dont really get what it says there, but hopefully here are people that can help^^

greetz out....ViruS

Sorry I don't know how to help you with this but it looks like you are on the right track so please keep us updated with your progress.

Oh god... even tho i might agree with part about creative support. But what exactly have moding of a VITAL system file with, have to do with creative support? They do not create drivers around YOUR moded shell32, they create it around ORIGINAL one that comes with windows. For more info what about Windows Shell and all the posibilitys moding can break, check MSDN (cant post intergrated link for some reason so here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb773177(VS.85).aspx ). But bottom line, you cant blame creative for something you break on your own... Im sure if CMSS3D is not working because of broken shell32.dll, there are other things that possible dont work and you just didnt notice them OR you might have problems in the feature.

so if any one knows something , tell me..im still on figureing out how to get around this prob....

just wanted to let you all know(that creative sucks)

Wow, what a bunch of fuckwits, so just because you change a couple of images or an icon they say you broke it, I don't think so, the only problem would be that it's not signed properly now, if you could somehow fool the system into thinking it was digitally signed then it might work.

Very Great theme, Grim

I would like to aks you, if you can make that theme in a cool matrix-like green.
It would be really great and i would apreciate it, when you can make the same theme in green and black.

[MrGentlemen]

there are already 2 matrix themes here....

I dont mean a matrix theme, i mean this theme, but in Green, and not blue

[abernauer]

Thanks so much Mr. Grim. This is simply awesome!

I am having a problem with the background in Excel and I saw your answer about how to change it back to white, but to be honest, I couldn't really figure it out. How do you get to the advanced appearance settings when you have a theme running? Isn't that option disabled?

Thanks in advance for helping out a n00bie!

[MrGentlemen]

Mr Grim, did you have the screenshots from the Green Glass Aero them yet?
Thread is gone and i want do save the screens as preview of the theme

[opalo153]

Unfortuantely the thread was wiped for miscellaneous reasons, and I lost the theme, as did other people

[JacobAndrew]

Dear Mr. Grim,
How do you suggest to change the Task Manager color? I cannot seem to figure that out..

[opalo153]

there is another link to chagne the colors of task manager somewhere in this forum... cant seem to find it tho =.=

I think I saw the same one.. But at the bottom of the page Mr. Grim commented and said something like its nice, but unnecessary. Which is why I was wondering what he suggests..
