I'm going crazy trying to replace my shell32.dll in order to fix the control pannel colors. Everytime I replace the shell32.dll in the system32 and/or sysWOW64 directories my video and audio stops working. What is going on! By the way I'm running windows 7x64, build 7600. It just realy makes me mad when I have a beatiful theme instaled but the control panell frames dont match. Please help, has anyone else had this problem.

Update, Ive been using the universal theme pacher x64 to patch my system files in order to apply 3rd party themes and I think this is where the problem is. Before I patched the files and after I changed the shell32.dll in both system32 and sysWOW64, the control panell frames were the correct color (the modified color). After I patched my files using the universal theme patcher the control panell colors returned to their original color (the color I dont want). I'm not sure what this means but i'm going to keep messing with the fiiles to see if anything changes. Again if you have any advice please reply.
