Complete Guide to Theme Building

[Dave Senior]

This is a guide to make your own theme, I will be adding to it over a period of time :)

Note :- In many of the locations for textcolor : color you will see a font property, click on the font name to change the font and text size etc.

For the top (Command Module)

1-Explorer & Shell > Explorer > CommandModule > <1> - edit the image here
2-Explorer & Shell > Explorer > CommandModule > <3> > <1> - Textcolor : Color
2-Explorer & Shell > Explorer > CommandModule > <4 > > <1> -Textcolor : Color
2-Explorer & Shell > Explorer > CommandModule > < 5> > <1> - Textcolor : Color
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3-Explorer & Shell > Explorer > Items View > Items View > FillColor (main window)
4-Explorer & Shell > Explorer > Proper Tree > <2> - fillcolorhint : color (Left panel)

also the location to change the text in these area,s is -
5- Fonts , colors & System Metrics > Fonts & System Metrics > Windowtext:color

This text changes in both areas when selected, the locations for selected are here-

ItemsView(Main Window)-Explorer & Shell > Explorer > ItemsView > ItemsView > TextColor : Color
TreeView (Left Panel)-Explorer & Shell > Explorer > Treeview > Treeitem > hot , selected etc > Textcolor : Color

Margins-

ContentMargins-
ContentMargins are seen throughout the .msstyle , some you can adjust some you can,t,. In the ones that you can use they control the position of icons, buttons and other content.

An example of content margins moving icons to the right in a bottom position taskbar can be done by navigating to
- Taskbar & SystemTray > Taskband > Basic > Taskband > BackGroundBottom > ContentMargins : Margins-
now set the first number to 50 and test ,this should move your taskbar icons 50 pixels to the right(0=all the way to the left).

This is just a basic guide, please don,t ask which content margins you can use, people find new ones from time to time . I,ve found that most of the ones in the StartMenu work but its a matter of trial and error.


SizingMargins -
SizingMargins- 7, 7, 7, 7 = Left, Right , Top , Bottom
These margins control how an image stretches (SizingType : Enum - Stretch)

If for example you have a task band image that is 200 Pixels long by 40 Pixels high the margins above mean that the "first 7 pixels in " at the left,right,top and bottom of the image will remain static,any thing inside these margins will stretch.

In the image below,the red area is a 5 pixel border, so -SizingMargins- 7, 7, 7, 7 should hold the red area in its original form and stop it distorting when the image stretches horizontally or vertically ,only the blue area in the middle will stretch.
There can be alot of trial and error involved when setting sizingmargins this is only a basic guide,some areas react differently to others when setting sizingmargins, but most of the time you have to set them if you are replacing the original theme image for a larger more detailed image.
Note : Your sizingmargins should not exceed the dimensions of the image you are using, this will cause the image not to show in most cases.

If you click the where it says stretch at "SizingType : Enum - Stretch " you will get a dropdown with the options -TrueSize-Stretch or Tile .
If you choose truesize the image you use will remain its original dimensions, this method should only be used if the image doesn,t need to stretch to fill an area,you should also consider that certain images are used in several areas , sometimes they may have to stretch others they may remain static.
The tile option does as its name suggests- it will tile an area with a truesize image.

The best way to learn how to use sizingmargins is to see how they have been set in a theme you like,if you have a theme and you like the way an image has been edited, compare its dimensions and sizingmargins to the standard aero theme.

How to add a property -
For an example I will add a textcolor property to the Window Tabs-

1-Navigate to -Lists, Menus & Tabs > Tab (click tab)
2-Press the add property button
3-From the left dropdown under "Type" in the new property window select color
4-From the right dropdown under "Property" in the new property window select TextColor

Now press ok. The new Textcolor : Color property should now be in the vsb property window.

5-Pressing on the color (Default is usualy Black) will bring up a color chart, choose the color for your text ,I,ve chosen red so it stands out on the white background , press ok.



6- Now press the test button in the vsb toolbar to see the result

Note: When testing this sort of thing, always choose a color that will stand out on the area you want to change,no point doing black on black etc.

YOU ARE NOT GUARANTEED TO GET A POSITIVE RESULT, NOT EVERY TEXTCOLOR, FONT, BACKGROUND ETC CAN BE CHANGED BY ADDING PROPERTIES

There isn,t a tutorial for which properties you can add to change things , I used Textcolor : Color because it is a handy one to know, as you will see in the dropdown list there are many others. Adding properties is what the more advanced themers have spent alot of time on .You just have to experiment, some times you get a result some you don,t.This can be quite time consuming and involves alot of testing.It just depends on how far you want to go.
Good luck with this one, let us know if you have any "good finds"
