Update: 29/05/2011

I have updated this theme a bit and made it to use with theme resources changer so you don't need to change any system files any more, I also borrowed a few bits from my Premium theme Poison and a couple of others to give some new life to this theme, I will keep the old versions here as well if anyone wants them, there is only one version for the new theme unlike the old one that had 3 variants, I think this version is more usable then the other 3 combined anyway so don't think it's needed.

44344

Update 01/02/2013

Added new style with fully blurred Start Menu

60782


New clock for use with 7tsp, it will just replace the clock in the timedate.cpl

44340

44338

If you need to install Theme Resource Changer you can grab it from here http://virtualcustoms.net/showthread.php/30902-Theme-Resource-Changer-no-more-dll-editing..

Old Styles

44342

There are 2 versions of this theme, Xtreme Red and Xtreme Red 2, the second one has a a few more black areas then the first like the taskmanager and other windows will be black instead of white, the only downside is that some web pages when using IE8 will be very dark although Firefox seems unaffected by that, the only other downside to some using the second theme will be things like Office which will have Black page colours instead of white, although there are probably options to change the page colour in those programs.

Both themes have been tested on X86 and X64 and I haven't seen any major problems, but if you do notice something please post a screen shot and let me know.

Have fun with the new theme and please comment :D

Please read the notes below on how to have your taskbar centered like in the preview.


Xtreme Red 44344

[SIZE=4]
Please download the theme file attatched at the bottom of this post if your using Xtreme Red 2, found a problem using black as a window colour but changing the colour to #010101 fixes it, you will notice if you use winrar that the left pane has been changed to a very light colour when it was meant to be turned black, changing the colour to #010101 stops that happening and it turns back to black.

If you want to have the clock a different colour to match the theme like the one above you will need to replace a system file in system32

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.php/27909-How-to-Apply-Custom-Themes-in-Windows-7)

UxStyle Core (http://www.uxstyle.com)


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.

There is an option to restore the patched dll's but nothing is affected by having them patched, it just allows you to use custom themes.

December 14th, 2009, 05:15 PM
So you mean if i patched with Vista Glazz and later i wants to change to different theme i dont need to do anything ..i mean any restore dll or anything ..just apply new theme as usual..

Edit: another one if i replace clock and explorer frame thn i must change it back(default) later if i apply new theme am i right?

which dll i must patch with Vistaglazz ? or if i open Vista Glazz it will patch necessary files automatically ?(thr is no read me inside theme ..i will patch first thn apply theme?)

Sorry for so many stupid questions.....

Hi MrGRim01.

Man, this Theme is awesome. I haven't put in the Start Button yet but I'll get around to it--it really completes the look of this Theme.

I wanted to ask: How did you get your Taskbar to look like that; with those little rises on each side? My clock area is red but I can't figure out how to bet those 2 cool looking rises in your post. I'm sure I'm overlooking something really simple but I can put my finger on it.

Here's my install so far:
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x267/ross-mart34/NottheSameTaskbar.png?t=1261134316

Hi joeykhor and :welcome:,

It look's as though you have done everything correctly provided you patched the system files correctly and then restarted your pc. The only other thing i can think of is are you sure you are trying to install

the right theme build for your windows 7 build (meaning x86 or x64) that's all i can think of someone else may be able to come up with a few other ideas though.

But as far as i remember those symptoms usually mean the system files are not patched I think.

Hi again joeykhor,

First things first did you solve the other issue you had from a few post's up??

and secondly I am sorry to hear you are now having trouble with the Icon Packs to keep this thread on topic I will have to redirect you over to here for now http://virtualcustoms.net/showthread.php/27730-Troubleshoot-Problems-Installing-Uninstalling-Icon-Pack-s have a read of that post and double check that you did everything correctly.

I can assure you the Icon Pack's/installers are not the problem as they have been well and truly tested and been in use for several months now.

And before I would reformat I would try this: Boot from your Win 7 disc, and choose repair install then get a command prompt up and type.

sfc /scannow

and see what results you get from that.

For Icons the .dll's dont need patching just read the README.

when this machine was hooked on x64 7600 i had the same prob..i used powertool,universal and even vistaglazz and non work..it seems those patcher didnt do there job for me untill now i have no idea why lol..so what i did i downloaded the dlls itself ( uxtheme.dll and themeui.dll
) and patched it manually and it worked..i tried looking for the site where i got those files from but the link to get the files doesnt work anymore :( ill try too look for an updated download site maybe it could help..or maybe if you know anyone that could provide/send ya those 3 files with the same build win7 that would be the easiest.

Are you using any extra Toolbars aside from the default one and do you have your taskbar buttons set to always combine?

Try removing the theme completly from the themes folder , Re-download and put files in the right places and try again.

Make sure you add the files to the correct place C:\Windows\Resources\Themes
Tip to make this easyer in future is to make a shortcut of the Themes folder on your desktop for easy access.


This is the best theme ive got so far, Great work Mr Grim :cool:

Looking at your taskbar it seems to be set up right to have the middle bit so it's hard to understand why you still don't, the only thing I do notice about your screenshot is that the icons seem to be off set from the start orb, did you move them over like that using a blank toolbar or did that happen when you used the theme on it own?

Yeah I found a strange thing that happens when you have the window colour set to black it turns that pane to a Grey colour when it should be black like the rest of the window, you can download the theme file attached at the end of the first post to fix that problem, or just go into the advanced appearance settings and change the window colour to 01, 01, 01 and that way it will still apear black but you wont have the Grey colour that you see.

I really cant understand why yours would be different to everyone else and without being there it makes it very hard to figure out why it is that way, can you try a few different setting like small icons or try expanding your taskbar to 2 rows just to see if it changes anything?

Hey Mr.Grim I was wondering. Is there anyway you could add tweaks to your themes for people who don't have very good vision? The dark colors are awesome but it's hard to read text on some programs. I plan to get some glasses/contacts (have not worn them in years...) but till then any way you could improve it for blind people like me? I'll show a screenshot so you know what I mean.

Here are 2 screenshots of what I am talking about. Either the colors for the text are so dark they are non existent, or they are gray so it's still hard to read. Any way you could make a brighter color?

If I could change that text colour I would but there are some text colours that I just cant find, the only thing I can suggest is that you go into the advanced appearance settings and change the 3D object colour which changes the colour of the background in those context menus to something lighter so the black text stands out.

I must say that the avatar doesn't reflect the kindness of the Admin ;)

I also noticed that you fixed an issue that seems to be a problem with some themes.

Some creators will include an Explorerframe.dll. You had 2. One for each folder SysWow64 and system32. Those who only offer one file, creates a problem. When you download from the net, you can't see the address bar to save files. This was not the case with your theme since you included 2 different files.

I posted this issue to Paulie in a PM because I had this issue with 2 themes.

Am I making sense??

Hmm, I can't see it included in my folder?

Greetz.


The start button for this theme is posted here http://virtualcustoms.net/showthread.php/27467-Start-Orbs?p=154857&viewfull=1#post154857 and there is a tutorial on how to change it here http://virtualcustoms.net/showthread.php/27737-Guide-to-Changing-your-Start-Orb-Button


Ok ty, :) It would've been handy to have 'em in this post tho :P.

Ok this is my final question XD ;

The close, minimize , (enlarge) buttons aren't really good?

http://content.screencast.com/users/Frolige/folders/Jing/media/25b90366-3b47-4037-a929-6ad8aa89c264/minimize.png


The theme is not displaying in Aero, did you patch the system files?

I don't quite get you? And yes I did patch all of 'em!

PS the start button changing was kind of hard, but i managed to do it :p.

Edit: Huh! I replaced those orbs, terminated explorer.exe and restarted it.. and the minimize buttons are normal now XD (or well theme normal :P ) !! No problems now! Ty for your great theme ;)

Or well the only problem is. the black backgrounding in opera xD

the theme is being displayed in basic, for some reason Aero is not working, you need to make sure the files were patch properly, try VistaGlazz, and make sure you do a restart.

Mr. Grim,

First of all, holy smokes you are amazingly talented. Hands down the best themes i have seen available. Have not run into a single problem with anything you have put out there for us.

Thank you!!!!!!



I was wondering how you managed to change the color of files/folders Icon text that were clicked on to red for this one. I have looked everywhere and can't even find the correct thing to call it let alone how to do it. Would be very grateful for the info. The reason i ask is that alot of these darker themes make the text for files/folders Icons difficult to see and i would like to manually change them. Especially when using full glass.

I saw another of your answers to a similar question a few minutes ago. But i confess, i do not know what these commands are in reference to.

They are all locations in Windows Style Builder, but if you only want to change the Window Text colour then you an do that from the advanced appearance settings in the personalization color menu.

Hey Mr Grim when I try to apply the timedate.cpl or the explorer frame files, it always says the file is in use...

You need to take ownership of the originals and rename them .bak and then you can paste the new ones in.

Did you try using one of the other Xtreme Red themes like Xtreme Red Light or did you try changing any of the colours in the advanced appearance settings to see if they helped?

February 28th, 2010, 06:20 PM
I didn't know there was a 'light' version, i tried using Xtreme Red 2 if thats the one you mean? As for advanced appearance i couldn't get anything to work without everything else looking strange... :(

EDIT I tried the Light version after searching and it's stil the same i tried to add a screenshot but not sure if it worked lol.

i am new to all this and spent hours changing everything i did get it to work one day, and the next it was all reset or something it was weird so i did all the changes again, changes included start orb, login screen, icons, and the extreme red theme. lets just hope it stays perm this time. My main ? is i know you did forward/backward buttons for explorer is there a way to add those red buttons into say firefox. Also i have changed my mouse cursor but everything i do it seems to reset every shutdown, any pointers for that also? thanks much already love the work

first off if u notice here everyone else can use the theme so the problem is not with the theme but with u. Do you really think how your talking and swearing that anyone will want to help you is that how u ask for help where ur from I don't think so considering I live in the same country.

If you can't apply them themes its because you don't have yor theme files patched to enable 3rd party themes simple as that. To insult Mr Grim or the site with the way u act is pitiful. I could easily help u fix this problem but I won't bother until u learn some manors first and learn how to ask nice.

The question should be why can everyone else use this theme and not you so if u want to swear do it to urself as u should know better.

The problem is usually caused by fonts that can't be altered unfortunately. It's the curse of all dark themes.

Hello. I downloaded the "Explorer Frame x64" to match the Extreme Red 2 theme (which is sick btw). I installed it by pasting and overwriting the ExplorerFrame.dll in the C:\Windows|System32 folder on my W7 SP1. However, when I restarted Windows and logged on to my account I received a Explorer.exe error code and Windows was a black screen. No Start Menu, Toolbar or anything.... I backed up the original ExplorerFrame.dll and was able to overwrite yours with the original and now everythings okay. Just wanted to let ya know and see if there was a fix or something?

Thanks. :happy:


*EDIT*

Found out the issue was that I installed it wrong! Found the SysWOW64 folder and installed it there, BUT the forward/back buttons are not red? Do I need to use that "VistaGlazz" to be able to use them? Thanks and sorry for the confusion..... :whistle:

*EDIT2*

Haha noob alert! Didn't realize I needed to install both ExplorerFrame.dll's . Works a charm man. Thanks for this awesome theme!! :happy:

This is a great theme. Love it. Thanks for your work.

However, my serious lack of customizing and themes is kicking my butt. I have downloaded the clock, buttons, and frame files. My problem is, I am not clear on what I should do with them. I have read this entire thread and have yet to figure it out. I know I need to take ownership of some files and rename them then paste in the new files. I just have not figured out exactly which file to do this with. I looked through the System 32 folder but I am still a little lost. Could someone please give me some spoon fed guidance here. I have read how to take ownership and I think I get that part but I don't know which files. Thanks very much to anyone that is willing to lead me by the hand here.

I updated the first post with a new version of the theme, it uses theme resource changer to change most of the images in system files that were needed to change manually for the old themes, just put the theme in your themes folder and install theme resource changer and then apply the theme in your personalization menu :)

I found a theme a while back that you probably made that looks very similer to this and I loved it because I was able to use the color changer with it to make it green which is my favorite color. Thanx man, you should take over Microsoft lol, your stuff looks so much better.

Awesome theme, worthy of a donation I think.

Quick question though: when I try to download the links for the explorer frames, back/forward buttons and start button, the links don't seem to be going anywhere valid. Is that just me?

is it me, or why does the theme only change the background?

i have installed theme resource changer and universal theme patcher. but all this (and other) themes will only change the background.

i'm running windows 7 ultimate x64 7601 german edition. may thats the reason why it wont work?

Extract the Xtreme Red zip folder, you will have an xtreme Red.msstyle file and a folder of the same name , drop them both into c/windows/resources/themes, then you can select the theme from your right click personalisation window :)

Open office and look in the settings and change the background color to a lighter color this is the only fix for that in office and is a known issue when using themes. you can also try switching to different theme when you need to use office

Nothing in the theme itself should cause that issue that I can think of. Did you install anything else like a 7tsp icon pack these are know to cause problems depending on what the packs contain. Most of the time we have seen with issues like this it caused by packs containing authi.dll in them

What are all of these except for 632,633,634 and 635, I know what those 4 are and can I change them out with my own? Also in other themes including my own can I use this same technique with them also to apply my own custom Icons instead of using like Icon Packager from StarDock? Lastly will this also work for the Drive Icons as well or do I need some other method to change them like using Icon Packager?

Thank you for your time Mr Grim.

Most of those probably don't do anything but some of the icons are shown if your using Theme Resource Changer, like the help and view setting icons, I was just testing what ones changed, that's why they were all in that folder, there is no need to keep them though, just delete most of them unless they are changing some you want.
