Proudly Presenting Pixie Dust (My First Theme For The Ladies) :)

I decided that all the guys have had more then enough themes from me and everyone else and it about time we thought of the ladies for a change :p

This is also my first theme I have released with folder background images and there is the included system files required for that to happen, the file needed to replace is the explorerframe.dll, all you need to do is take ownership of the original file and rename it explorerframe.dll.bak and then you can paste the new one in.

There are some other system files that you will need to replace and those are the timedate.cpl, OobeFldr.dll, shellbrd.dll and taskmgr.exe which are included in the theme extras folder.


There are also some images for the start button included and the start button changer app, the only images that you will have to manually edit a system file for is the shell32.dll, the reason I did not include a system file for that is because some people will already be using other mods for the shell32.dll, like the top shell mod or even custom icon like in my case.

I recommend when editing the shell32.dll that you copy it and paste it on the desktop and then open it with a resource hacker like Restorator and then replace the images and save it, then rename the original shell32.dll.bak and paste the new one in there.

You will need a restart before the changes will take effect for some of the system files, all files included have been tested on x86 and x64 and there should be no problems with them.

Anyway I hope all you girls out there really enjoy this theme, please leave a comment, good or bad

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.

Hi there...love love love this theme and have gotten everything to work, except for the sound. Not sure what the deal is. I downloaded theme - added it to 7tsp - start patching. If I don't immediately reboot I have the basic stuff applied like wallpaper, color scheme etc (no start orb, no explorer buttons, no pretty frames, and no side bar images) but I DO have sound. Once I reboot I lose the sound altogether as in system sounds, wave sounds, youtube sounds and also receive error messages when trying to play a 'test' sound - but everything else works. It just doesn't want to work all at the same time for some reason. I have also tried the green theme...and all is the same with that one...reboot = no sound. I have Universal Theme Patchers, Theme Resource Changer and Win7LogonBackgroundChanger
Also, When I bought my laptop it had Vista and I upgraded it by disc to Win 7. Lol...that probably isn't even necessary info...just thought I'd add it in case.
Any help appreciated...
P.S. I never used resource hacker (at least not that i'm aware of) and everything worked - except the sound schemes.

LilMiss it sounds like you may have a soundcard that has compatibility issues with our themes here. We have known for a long time that creative sounds cards have issues. What you need to do is uninstall the pack using 7tsp then open the pack with 7zip and delete the shell32.dll out of the resource folder and rezip the pack using 7zip or zip then reinstall the pack you will only lose a couple of images.
