Dark7 Ultimate Theme for Windows 7 (Final Version)

Dark7 Ultimate Theme for Windows 7

45315

One of my first themes, I thought it was pretty Ultimate at the time lmao


Very Important!!!

You must enable the use of custom themes by either patching your system with Universal Theme Patcher or use UxStyle Core which runs as a service, either way will have the same result but UxStyle Core does not change any system files and is also update proof.

Universal Theme Patcher
http://virtualcustoms.net/showthread...-Theme-Patcher (http://virtualcustoms.net/showthread.php/29116-Universal-Theme-Patcher)

UXSytle Core
http://virtualcustoms.net/showthread...cher-0.2.1.1.1 (http://virtualcustoms.net/showthread.php/31514-Uxstyle-Core-Theme-Patcher-0.2.1.1.1)

To have your taskbar centered like in the image above.

All you need to do is unlock the taskbar and right click on it go to toolbars/add new, and them make a new folder somewhere and call it blank for example, then select that folder for your new toolbar.

You then need to right click on the new toolbar and select view text/title and deselect those 2 options now repeat all those steps(you can use the same blank folder again) and place the blank toolbars on either side of your main Taskbar group and slide the taskbar to a central position.

Once you have it where you want lock the taskbar again (note that it move a little when you lock the taskbar so some fine tuning may be needed), and now you have a centered Taskbar.

If you like you can also make the blank folder hidden to remove it from view.

Taskbar will not display blue bar if you have your options set to never combine.

Always combine, hide labels should be selected.

Also if you are using any extra Toolbars you need to make sure they are displaying small icons, but only if you have them all on a single row, if you have your taskbar expanded to 2 bars it will display normally again.

OMG Mr Grim your the man! All programs button is working perfect on 86x! What ever you did please do it to your other themes too and share the info with Sergio. You two have the best themes there are for Windows 7! :-D

Glad you like it but I don't know if I can fix the other themes as this one was started from scratch so I may not be able to fix the old ones but I will have a go.

Can you post a screen shot of the problem on the Address bar please?

[geonsteelers]

Mr. Grim Sir, I have a question.
I just recently updated to Windows 7... how can I install this theme?

[mansrm81]

Mr. Grim Sir, I have a question.

Browse to windows/resources/themes and paste the files into that area.

Here is what the address bar looks like.

Hey Mark, do you know the Icon Pack's link goes to the main Custom Icons forum mate?

I noticed that if I click the cursor in the address bar it becomes black and looks liek your screenshot.

Thanks, looks like I will have to install x86 so I can investigate and maybe make a separate version for it.

awesome Grim! Works almost perfectly.

You know why my task is still green instead of blue like your screens?

any idea?

[Twisted-Devil]

Fantastic theme , great work.
Only thing that lets in down is the colour of some areas of fonts.
You cant see dektop fonts and file properties. As u can see from the pic.
Might be an idea to av them blue like the others.

Edit some internet pages appear like this too hard to make out writting.E-Bay for example

any idea?

That is actually not the theme but a modified task manager, just rename the original and put the modified one in the system32 folder, alternatively you can just put the modified task manger somewhere else and just add a shortcut to the Taskbar.

Believe me I know how hard it is to read and I have spent many hours looking for the setting to change that colour without any luck yet but I have not given up on it yet, still fixing some other bugs as well at the moment so there there will probably be another release in the next day or so.

[Twisted-Devil]

Ah i thought ur ad found that part .... other then the font colours this theme is great.I look forward to the final result.

Tnx GOD Grim, works perfectly now :D
Maybe you could put this download link into your first post, just to complete it;)

[Mr GRiM]

Updated the first post with new build, still not 100% with the text colours but it's better then the last one.

[Twisted-Devil]

Nice update Looks great :)

[overbet]

Just found this site. Mr Grimm you have serious skills, these themes are fantastic. I am going to wait until this Dark7 is finished to try to install one though. Hope to see it soon.

[movieman1]

Which start button do you want, the one I am using?

[Mr GRiM]

That is part of the Dark7 Theme but you can change the page back to white on the page colour setting in Word or you can change it in the advanced colour settings in your personalization menu.

That white area is something I already know about but I don't know how to fix it, it shouldn't be there and the Taskbar on this theme doesn't have the blue on it, only the Blue Moon and Neon themes have blue in the Taskbar.

I cannot change the "old" explorer.exe with the new one, because the are "Trustedinstaller Authorization".

How can I make it?

Sorry for the bad English, I'm Italian.

[Mr GRiM]

I cannot change the "old" explorer.exe with the new one, because the are "Trustedinstaller Authorization".

How can I make it?

Sorry for the bad English, I'm Italian.

Right click on explorer.exe and go to Properties - Security Tab - Advanced - Owner Tab - Edit, then select Administrator (your user name) and hit OK - OK - Edit - Administrator (your user name) and select full control and OK - OK and your done.

You will also need Restorator and have the explorer.exe open in it, then when you have made your changes open Task manager and kill the explorer process and then save using Restorator in the Windows directory, then go to your task manager again and select new task and type explorer and hit enter.

[Silurian]

Hi all!

Mr.Grim.. All your work is awesome, you are very talented!

Something i cant figure out tho, prolly missing something really simple, but how do i get the task bar to look like it does in the screenshots? Where you have like an indented section in the centre?

Many thanks

Hey,

I liked this theme so i installed it on my computer, but i had one problem, with icons, i made all things in Readme.txt but the icons doesn't change, need help please.

Thanks

[Pendaws]

Mr Grim, I downloaded the 32bit version of this great theme yesterday and
today I am going to add the same theme to my Windows 7 64bit machine
I did have some trouble at first but it fixed itself? so I am a happy chappy.

Thank you for providing this wonderful theme. :f:

[Juiced]

its so beautiful very very big thanks :cool:

[Preforx]

Thank you so much!
Great theme, will try it when i get my new hard drive...

[AerialViper]

*EDIT*
I eventually answered my own questions... but great JOB :D

Very nice theme... i love the blue and black.. i have a similar theme on old laptop for XP ahaha :D took me a while to figure out how to get it properly...

Thanks,
AerialViper

[AerialViper]

Hello Mr Grim sorry to bother you again... but i installed your icons theme properly and it said successful.. but for some reason it looks modified.. but not like the picture you posted... the firefox pic your have is very very sexy which made me notice the difference lol

[endosmoke]

Really nice. I had some doubt before I installed it since it didnt look as clean as I'd lika a theme to be.
It turned out to be a lot cleaner then I thought.
http://omploader.org/vMnJwdw/dark7theme.png
There is a few things I dont like though, like the blue stuff in some areas (in the start menu for example) that I personally would prefer gray.
Not perfect but truly good theme, I give it one thumb up! :)

[attaw]

wow so nice themes.. :cool:
thanks sir..

how to change this icon folder on taskbar? http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/4650/capturewwc.jpg

[Mr GRiM]

wow so nice themes.. :cool:
thanks sir..

how to change this icon folder on taskbar? http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/4650/capturewwc.jpg

The Icon for that is in the imageres.dll in c:\windows\system32 to change it you need to first make a desktop shortcut for explorer and then right click on on the pinned explorer and unpin it.
Then open the explorer shortcut and then on the taskbar right click and then right click again on the explorer icon and select properties and the change icon, enter "%SystemRoot%\System32\imageres.dll" in the address and the explorer icon is located in there at the far end of the folder, you may also need to do the same for the desktop shortcut and then close the explorer window again and reopen it an it should now be the new icon.

Now pin the icon again and your done.

[attaw]

wow it's work..thanks sir :cool: :-D

[razorsedge]

Mr Grim

This is one of the best themes I have seen it is one of my fav's keep up the great work you are doing :)

[bongo]

Thanks this is great looking.

[Tobi54]

Great theme, thanks for making this, questions, where can I get the gadgets shown on the theme, and is there anything needed to make them look like that, presets etc? Thanks in advance.

[Flava0ne]

I saw this over at deviantART and was instantly amazed, awesome job GRiM!!! :D

When do you think you'll have the updated version ready for download? Because when I open up my nVidia Control Panel, I can't read the text because it's too dark and same with some websites that I go to. But other than that, this theme totally matches up with my entire rig with the dominant dark grey and highlights of blue.

EDIT: I love this theme so much that I created a custom Windows 7 Ultimate 32 and 64-bit Edition RTM build 7600 AIO DVD label, one 32-bit version only, and one 64-bit version only as well. Hope you like it as much as I do! ;)

Thanks FlavaOne, those DVD labels look excellent and I'm happy you like the theme although I hadn't planned on releasing an updated version but maybe I will see if I can fine tune this one a bit more maybe release another one in the next few days.

[Flava0ne]

Cool, glad you like the labels! :)

I never knew that you weren't planning on releasing an update or maybe you already did? Because when I read the below quoted post from you in regards to the same issue that I'm having, I thought that you were still working on it. But if the Dark7 Ultimate theme that I downloaded directly from the first post of this thread was supposed to be final and you're actually considering on tweaking it a little to suit my needs, then BRAVO to you! :D



Fantastic theme , great work.

[Flava0ne]

Here's some screenshots of my nVidia Control Panel where the font is barely even visible and another one where the font is totally visible and at the bottom barely visible. But the font is only barely visible where there's a description of the option at the bottom of the control panel. This is a very minor issue, but if you could tweak the theme a little to fix that would be totally awesome!

I have a feeling that I wont be able to change that text colour, I have searched for a way to change the black text in several areas and it doesn't seem possible to do in msstyles so I think something else must need editing to achieve that.

[Flava0ne]

No worries, like I said, it's a minor thing.

[Flava0ne]

Is it possible to change the stock Windows 7 icons to your Blue Glass icons without having to use the .cmd executable and if so how?

[Mr GRiM]

Is it possible to change the stock Windows 7 icons to your Blue Glass icons without having to use the .cmd executable and if so how?

The only other easy way I know to do it is if you have dual boot, that way you can boot into the other OS and replace the dll's without them being in use, it's also a good time to clear the icon cache as well as that is not in use either, then just boot into Windows 7 again and all the icons should be done but you may still have to do a disk cleanup to delete the thumbnail cache.

[Flava0ne]

I was just wondering because I noticed that after installing or uninstalling the Full Blue Glass Icon pack through the cmd executable, some other installations of programs get corrupted somehow and most of the time I'm not able to uninstall the program so that I can reinstall it again. I had to reinstall Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit last week because of that, but this time around, the icon pack was one of the first things that I installed before anything else, even drivers!!! Infact, the first thing I installed was WinRAR, then TUGZip, THEN the icon pack. :roflmao: And this time after installing all my programs, none of them have gotten corrupted since I finished last Friday. But now I'm worried about uninstalling the icon pack!!! If anything, I'll just create a backup disk image using the built-in utility that Windows 7 Ultimate comes with before I uninstall it. But I think you should look into this issue and maybe come up with an update where installation and uninstallation of the Full Blue Glass icon pack doesn't corrupt other program installations. Let me know or just update this thread if you do come up with one. But overall, I don't think I'll be uninstalling this icon pack anytime soon at all because IT'S JUST TOTALLY AWESOME with THIS THEME!!! :party2:

[lefty1981]

that's my problem,too! :p

[Cashis]

Another way to install the icons is download the icon pack you want with the installer and the System32 & SysWOW64 .dll's located in the Data folder of the pack now all I do is TakeOwnership (http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/) of the entire "C:\Windows" folder (It can take a while), Once done Navigate to "C:\Windows\System32" & the "SysWOW64" folder for x64 bit user's and locate the .dll's we need to replace i.e "imageres.dll,imagesp1.dll,Shell32.dll,zipfldr.dll" and rename them to "imageres.dll.BAK,imagesp1.dll.BAK,Shell32.dll.BAK,zipfldr.dll.BAK" in BOTH "C:\Windows\System32" & the "SysWOW64" and copy and paste the .dll's from the icon pack you want to use.

Then I restart my PC and notice that all my icons didn't completey change so now we need to Clear The Icon Cache (http://virtualcustoms.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=136) or manually navigate to "C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local" and if you have "View all files and Folders" Checked then you will see "IconCache" there "Delete It" kill the "explorer.exe" in task manager under processes and then restart the "explorer.exe"

And thats it that's another option of installing without the Script and then will you see and know everything that is going on it's just the matter of replacing a few .dll's :)

As for messing with other icons like Office icons and such I'm not completely sure it would need testing try installing them this way firs and then using the script and see which one works best.I personally find the install script the easiest way myself as i do a fresh install every week and the Icons are first to get changed and i have never had any issues with the installer.

Hope this helps and let me know if i forgot anything. :)

Then I restart my PC and notice that all my icons didn't completey change so now we need to Clear The Icon Cache (http://virtualcustoms.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=136) or manually navigate to "C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local" and if you have "View all files and Folders" Checked then you will see "IconCache" there "Delete It" kill the "explorer.exe" in task manager under processes and then restart the "explorer.exe"

And thats it that's another option of installing without the Script and then will you see and know everything that is going on it's just the matter of replacing a few .dll's :)

As for messing with other icons like Office icons and such I'm not completely sure it would need testing try installing them this way firs and then using the script and see which one works best.I personally find the install script the easiest way myself as i do a fresh install every week and the Icons are first to get changed and i have never had any issues with the installer.

Hope this helps and let me know if i forgot anything. :)

Nice!!! Thanks for the little tutorial. :D

Is it possible to change the stock Windows 7 icons to your Blue Glass icons without having to use the .cmd executable and if so how?

Thank's Flava0ne but i dont understand you, and sorry but my english.

[Flava0ne]

Things was just perfectly fine up until earlier today, I noticed that each application icon and icon for the file/document associated with that app in my Office 2007 Enterprise Edition, Acrobat 9 Pro, Acrobat Distiller 9, and LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2 in my CS4 Master Collection, Logitech G-series Key Profiler and LCD Manager, HP Update and Photosmart Essential 3.5, Apple Software Update, iTunes, and QuickTime, nVidia PhysX Properties, and PerfectDisk 10 icons all got corrupted. And most likely if I try to uninstall and then reinstall these programs, I'll get errors and uncompleted uninstalls because this is exactly what happened the first time around. I guess my idea of installing the icons first before anything else didn't work at all. :(

[Cashis]

Hi Flava0ne,

Go into your "C:\Windows\System32 & if you are x64 C:\Windows\SysWOW64" folders and see how many imageres.dll , imagesp1.dll , Shell32.dll's are there.

Coz what might be happening is coz you have a theme installed it might be corrupting the "Shell32.dll" so look for how many you have there including the ".BAK's"

The icon pack's installs and turns the original ones to ".BAK's" so it might be trying to create a ".BAK" when one already exists.Same as the other .dll's.

/EDIT: And for a good App Uninstaller try RevoUninstaller (http://www.revouninstaller.com/) it is a much cleaner uninstaller than Windows. ;)

Hey racor05, that's okay. The calendar app that I'm using is called Rainlendar and you can download the free Lite version or pay €9.95 for the Professional version here (http://www.rainlendar.net/cms/index.php?option=com_rny_download&Itemid=30) and the skin that I have on it is called Vista 2.0 and you can download it from here (http://files.customize.org/download/files/45956/Vista_1.1._2.0.zip). Hope that helps! :D

Cool, will look in there just about as I finish this reply and edit it later with my findings.

EDIT/UPDATE: So I basically deleted all the imageres.dll.BAK, imagesp1.dll.BAK, shell32.dll.BAK, and zipfldr.dll.BAK in both the System32 and SysWOW64 folders, and now all my app icons that got messed up earlier are back to normal again! :party2:

THANK YOU SOO MUCH MAN!!! You just saved me from a possible reinstallation of my OS, phew!

I've heard of RevoUninstaller from a few people and on some of the other forums that I go on. I will deffinitely give it a try, and thaks again for the help! :D

[Flava0ne]

:party2: :cool: Glad I could mate :) and ofcourse if ya get any more problems feel free to ask.

Stupid me... I deleted the original .dll files that were .BAK'ed up!!! :D'oh!:

Would you happen to have those original .dll files for Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit available for download or know where I can download them? Because I just did a search on Google, and all that came up were links to other Windows customization sites like the Windows 7 Forums and all they were, were just advices to backup those .dll files.

EDIT: Just got a really awesome idea that might just work. BRB

[Cashis]

I will have in about Half an Hour if you like i can upload them to mediafire for you I am about to do a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate x64.

/EDIT: I think ya might be able to rename the ones you have there to .BAK's and boot from your Windows 7 Disk and do a repair install and that should put nice new .dll's in ya system folder's.Well it might :idk:

You don't need to worry about having the original ones backed up because you can always restore them to defauld by opening an elevated command prompt and type sfc /scannow and it will restore any system files that have been modified or are corrupt.

That was kinda like the awesome idea I had a while ago. I basically used System Restore to Restore my files to a time when it was all good and after doing it, the original .dll.bak files that I deleted earlier were back in both the System32 and SysWOW64 folders. But if you can still upload the original .dll's after you do a fresh install of Win 7 Ultimate x64 I would really appreciate it very much! Because somehow I'm not really sure if the .bak'ed up ones were corrupted in any way, like how you were saying in your other post, since I have a modified theme installed that it might try to create more .bak's of the same .dll files.

Ok here are the Untouched Original .dll's from a clean install with nothing been installed at all so they are as clean as they come.

"Windows 7 RTM (7600) x64 ONLY"

System32 = http://www.mediafire.com/file/bztmnm3wcgy/System32.7z

The best thing to do is a system restore then to before you patched the dll's with the theme patcher, if that doesn't work then open an elevated command prompt and type sfc /scannow and let it run and then restart, if everything is ok then you should try a different way of making the themes run, Vista Glazz will do that for you and I have used it myself and it works well.

As it happens I do have a newer version of the Neon Theme that was tested on x86, here you go.

NeonX86 (http://cid-e672f55909b5eeb0.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Themes/Neonx86.zip)

by this i take it you mean a universal theme patcher , yes i had to patch to be able to run dark 7 which is fine ,neon which is fine however when i run dark 7 neon it doesn't work, as showed in previous post. at the end of the day its not the end of the world that i cant have a blue neon taskbar with my dark 7 theme ,i absolutley love the dark7 theme, i have about a dozen different themes installed and the only one i use is dark7.
mr grim i hope you dont find my posts pushy and demanding i dont want you to think i am ungrateful for your efforts. i love your work and a combo i suggested you have made! that is flattering to say the least
i just find when i try do something and can't when in theory it should, really irritating! and i dont like to surrender to my computer . i eagerly await you next theme!

Thaks, glad you like it, did you notice the other one with the white text fill areas, Dark7 Ultimate2

you could also try changing some colours in advanced colours or you could try this one that I already changed.

Just add it to your theme folder and you will have it in your installed themes menu.

Read the notes on the first post for instructions on how to have the taskbar like mine, for the IE Icon you need to create a desktop shortcut and then right click on it and choose customize and then choose change icon and select the icon you want and hit OK.

Now unpin the old IE icon from the taskbar and then start IE from the shortcut you made then pin it again and it should good, if not then right click on the pinned icon and then right click on it again in the first pop up window and select properties and do the same as you did to the shortcut and it should definitely change then.

for the start orb you will need a restorator hers a nice tutorial made by our fellow forumer http://virtualcustoms.net/showthread.php/27737-Guide-to-Changing-your-Start-Orb-Button

to change icons manually you need a set of ico. format icons..for some reason win7 doesnt accept .png format in desktop so you have to convert each icons first then pin it to your taskbar

The Theme does not include the Icons or Start Button, you need to get the start orb separately, you will find a thread for start orbs in General Customization here (http://virtualcustoms.net/forumdisplay.php/824-Start-Buttons-Orbs)

For the Icons you can download them from the Icons with installers thread here (http://virtualcustoms.net/showthread.php/27464-Custom-Icons-with-install-Script-for-Windows-7), just follow the instructions carefully and make sure you restart when asked to.

thx man i could succesfully instal the 7100 86x build and it looks nice but, this is my last question.... can the 7600 build icons also work wit my laptop?

[CsqU4r3d]

This theme is indeed a work of art!! Combined with the full glass icons in blue, my firefox Gradient iBlu and my own desktop, about blank, logon screen and black n blue css, I am a very happy Black N Blue camper! If only the control panel wasn't still a migraine inducing white, I'd be ecstatic.
My heart felt thanx Mr. Grim

You can use the ones from 7600 but you will have to extract the icon folder from the dll's with Restorator and then put the in the 7100 dll's then use your installer and it should work.

Your Welcome CsqU4r3d, the control panel was a problem if I remember because it was hard to change some of the font colours, I will have another look at it one day and see if I can make a version with a dark control panel.

Hi,

Theme looks really cool, I like dark colors and those are more then dark ;), but how can I get x86 version, for now in mediafire I see only "0 items found to display!" :(

There is only one version that works for both x86 and x64, there is an alternative link on the first post that has everything in it.

There are certain aspects of Dark7 Ultimate2 that I want to add to the original Dark7 Ultimate theme. What program can I use to edit the MSSTYLES file so that I can acomplish this and would it be a simple task?

[rightspin]

You can easily modify the .msstyle with the tool restorator and replace the images from one theme to another.
You should allready find a lot of information about how to use restorator here on this forum. If you still need help, just ask its really not that hard.

Cool, thanks man! :)

If, I run into any problems I'll be sure to ask.

EDIT: I just downloaded and installed the Restorator 2007 Trial, but all I want to do is make some of the backgrounds in the original Dark7 Ultimate theme lighter like in Dark7 Ultimate2. Not exactly the same, but just a little darker than how it is in Dark7 Ultimate2. Do I just find the correct image file in the IMAGE folder then extract it and edit it? But I also want to keep the dark background in the original Dark7 Ultimate theme when you open up a Notepad text file.

Hello, mr. Grim,,

Thx for the nice, cool theme..!

I wanna ask what software do you use in your attachment pic at post 1?
the one that show PC usage, RAM, hardisk, temp, etc?
It shows everything I want to monitor for my PC

and do you use rocketdock ??
I found the website but it tell me x64 isnt supported yet.. :(
(I'm using win 7 64 bit anyway)

sorry if I post in wrong thread..

cheers..

That gadget is called Computer Status and that is one I have customized to look like that and you get get it from the Gadgets forum in the customization section and I do also use Rocketdock and it works fine on x64 even though they say it isn't supported.

I just tried to download from MediaFire with no success:

Not sure why it would say that, they are still set to public and the link still works for me http://www.mediafire.com/?y5ywtjxymjn, you can try the other link on the first post which has the theme and the Christmas themepack in one and is hosted on the site so you should have no problem with it.

[Flava0ne]

Hey Mr. GRiM, do you think you can make a Dark7 Ultimate3 theme which has some of the lighter backgrounds of Dark7 Ultimate2 merged into the original Dark7 Ultimate theme, but still have the dark background for Notepad text documents? Because I tried to edit the original Dark7 Ultimate theme myself with Restorator 2007 but I just can't do it on my own. The problem I have with the original Dark7 Ultimate theme was that when I open up "drop-down menus" on websites that the background was so dark that I can't see the available options on the menu, and the problem I have with the Dark7 Ultimate2 theme was that the buttons on websites were so tiny that I don't know what to click on if there are multiple buttons. But overall, I like the original Dark7 Ultimate theme over the second version.

[IYanakiev]

Nice work mate.Quite impressive i would say,but could you please check the link for download for x86-seems it doesn't work.Thanks

[Klaw117]

Do you by any chance have copies of the wallpapers that are 1024 x 768 resolution? The 1920 x 1200 and 1680 x 1050 resolution versions are being compressed on my screen, which is kind of bugging me.

Did you patch your files first so you can use Custom themes? VistaGlazz works very well if you haven't done it yet.

For the icons if you don't know how to use them without the installer then use the ones with installers and make sure you follow the included instructions very carefully.

[jeremai]

hey!
So i thought my files were patched but no so i patched them and now the theme is working! :)
For the icons i tried to replace the original by restorator but when i replace them in shell32.dll but i've an error when i restart windows...
thx Mr Grim!

I started off with the Blue Icon Pack and I've run into some ugly looking problem recently. The shortcut overlay icons (those small arrows) was disabled before installing the theme. The icons should have been clear as it was before installing the icon pack. But now they look very weird. I'm attaching an image to make myself more clear. Any help will be greatly appreciated. :)

Go into your advanced appearance settings and change the 3d object colour to make those menus brighter.

[leo_5287]

I've also seen that shortcut overlay problem with "Microangelo On Display" installed and running Mr Grimm's icon installer. To fix open the On Display Control Panel and reselect the proper overlay or set to none, clear the icon cache then reboot.

[deathjr]

mr grim can i request...because i really want this theme but...the only thing that i want is make it red...i really don't like blue it reminds me something...anyway...can you do it...thanks in advance by the way you have the great and cool themes i ever seen in windows 7 themes :)

Did you patch your system files before you tried using the theme, the easiest way I know of is VisatGlazz, which can also restore the originals again if you ever need to.

[rlegault]

Great Theme

My control panel and run window are still white

Upload your msstyles and I will make a white one for you.

[tony66907]

it's really very nice of you.
You can use msstyles me home if you want.
Could you also explain the manipulation? if you have time

[Mr GRiM]

You need to use Windows Style Builder to edit the background colours or you can edit the colours with a Hex Editor but I have never tried doing it that way.

Here is how another guy did it without Windows Style Builder
Software used:
Restorator
EF Commander free
Hex Editor XVI32
Any graphic editor(like photoshop, used only for number of color in hex(like white is FC FC FC)

Steps:
1) Open restorator, load aero.msstyles go to VARIANT and click on NORMAL and extract as NORMAL.res
2) Open NORMAL.res in Hex Editor. GO TO adress posted in Six9siX's post (2c180 and similar). They might to be different, but will not be far from that adress, just search for FC FC FC.
3) Change to chosen color(in hex so for eg. 55 72 70)
4) save file(overwrite NORMAL.res)
5) Go back/open Restorator and drag NORMAL.res to NORMAL in restorator. There should be a little arrow on the NORMAL file within Restorator after this.
6) Save file
7) Ctrl+Ald+del to open manager
8) Right click on desktop choose Personalize and choose basic windows.
9) open EF Commander Free and browse to the aero folder in windows/resources, and to aero file you just modded.
10) Turn off process Explorer.exe in the manager
11) Copy modified aero.msstyles to windows/resources(overwrite)
12) in the manager clik File>...new... and enter explorer.exe.
13) Apply the earo style in Personalize.

[tony66907]

I downloaded your theme on the first page that appears is more feeling than I have.
I tried to change the background color of window style builder but nothing is there

I'm not a computer noob but I am a customization noob.I have successfully patched everything yet I put the dark theme in the theme folder and nothing happens. I have no idea what to do with the msstyles part of the theme, ot installing the task manager or anything else for that matter. No matter what I do I pretty much get no/wrong results. I would greatly appreciate any help as your themes, and others as well are quite brilliant! I'd like to be able to customize my computer to look just as incredible.

Thank you so much

Make sure you have the Dark7 Ultimate folder containing the Dark7 Ultimate.msstyles in the theme directory and the Dark7 Ultimate.theme file in the Theme directory, then open your Personalize menu and select it it from your installed themes at the bottom.

System files that need replacing for a theme are usually located in System32 or SysWOW64, The first thing you should do is create a System Restore Point and then all you need to do is Take Ownership of the original and give yourself Full Control and then rename them .bak or .old and then paste the new one in and after a restart they should take effect.

Start orbs a bit harder to change because Explorer needs to be stopped before you can make any changes, there is a tutorial I made that shows you how to do it manually http://virtualcustoms.net/showthread.php/27737-Guide-to-Changing-your-Start-Orb-Button or you can try this (http://kishan-bagaria.deviantart.com/art/Windows-7-Start-Orb-Changer-v3-153001999) new little program that will do it all for you, some people have been having problems using this and I can't guarantee it will work for you.

Mr. Grim is what you would have the opportunity to change the color white for me? I did not really happen ...

[Mr GRiM]

Mr. Grim is what you would have the opportunity to change the color white for me? I did not really happen ...

Tell me what version you are using and I can do that for you, is it just the explorer windows you wanted white or the Window colour?

If it's just the Window colour you want to change then you can change that in the advanced appearance settings.

I just realized a GLARING problem.(I can't believe I didn't notice it!)
My task bar is bright blue and my task manager is partially white. I thought I'd read something about correcting the white issue, but can't seem to find it.
I've attached a screen shot of your TM next to mine and the obvious blue task bar.

Thanks Again.

That's is the way that one is meant to look, there are 3 versions of dark7 Ultimate and you are using the Neon one, if you download the first one it will have the dark Task Manager and taskbar.

[tony66907]

Any suggestions?



JUST OCCURRED!!!!

I rebooted the comp and it went into start up repair for quite some time. When it finally did reboot, the main difference was the task manager was restored to normal. Is it possible I used the wrong one? Which version should I be using with windows 7 pro?


Thank you for all the help Mr. Grim.

I understand that the title says it is for Windows 7 (i have got windows 7 on my laptop) but my girlfriend has got vista but want this Theme, Task Manager and Blue Glass Icons... do you know if this will work for vista?

Regards,

Wee, I'm sorry to say, and i don't know why, but slowly everything started to fall apart. First an icon here and there would revert back to the old one. Then all of a sudden all the folders went back to normal. It was like the computer was trying to slowly change itself back to it's original state. I don't have a clue as what could have caused all this, but it took a lot of steam out of my will to skin and theme. I can't imagine designing them!!!! I just want to apply them!!

Oh Well.... :idk:

Good evening everyone, Mr. Grim, have you found the solution to change the background color of file?

[tony66907]

Unless it be not possible ...?

I like this theme alot.. question tho... How come the icon pack wont install that sexy firefox icon like in your screen shot. Im running x64 btw

[Mr GRiM]

Because it's not part of my pack, I didn't make that icon but I have posted them if you want it. viewtopic.php?f=9&t=259&start=0 (http://virtualcustoms.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=259&start=0)

Do you install the icons and do you have a Creative sound card?

[antharr]

Aero is disabled when I apply the theme. I have patched and and re-patched but still no effect. Any ideas?

Have you got any other custom themes to work?

[antharr]

Yes. I am running one as I type this.

[Mr GRiM]

You could not have put everything in the right directories then because you are the first person to have this problems out of the thousands that have used it.


Please check that everything is where it's meant to be.
