I take no responsibility for anyone who bricks their system, Use these mods at your own risk!!

Awesome, thankyou!

I would like to comment that the theme has a little issue that difficults item/group selection on the taskbar because when you put the mouse at the very bottom of the screen the taskbar item is not focused, so you need to put the mouse 1 px above ...always, that is a annonying behavior, and the reason is because the current margins of the related Equinox theme resources but has a very simple solution, just adjust this value with Windows Style Builder:

At TaskBand2Composited:TaskBand2 and also TaskBand2CompositedSmallIcons:TaskBand2

BackgroundBottom Class -> ContentMargins property:
old value: 10, 10, 1, 1
new value: 10, 10, 1, 0

This way taskbar item by mouse selection returns to normal behavior.

I also did some minor color modifications to adjust my darkness likes, the Equinox Blackout version its too much dark for my like, so I would like to share this alternative color scheme modification of Equinox Blackout theme, I really didn't changed too much, just basic thing colors such as explorer background color, menu colors, window colors (property window) and some control's background colors like listview and listbox. All is the same than the original Equinox Balckout theme just with lighter backgrounds for a couple of things.
I don't want neither expect any credits, this was only possible thanks to the Mr. Grim's Equinox Baclkout release and him motivation and him help.
Finally I can say that I have a perfect dark theme with window borders for Windows 10!!

I only tested it with Windows 10 TH2. Use it at your own risk

I noticed another little issue, the pause/cancel image glyphs of a progress window are invisible (because the dark background), you know, the dialog window that appears when you copy file or directories.

I noticed this problem rigth now so the theme I shared doesn't have this fix.

Just I'm advicing about that.

Regards!

Hi again!

Mr. Grim, could you tell me where is located the progress dialog background in Windows Style Builder to edit the image or the background's fill color property?

(that is from your Equinox theme, a little bit modified)

I spent few hours trying to find it, I found the bar background but I can't find the dialog background, that background is the only location that I'm missing in WSB (the background and the invisible pause/cancel progress images)

Thanks for read!

EDIT:
I found them all by using the class name searcher:

... -> Pause -> Button
... -> CopyClose -> Button

and ... -> TaskDialog -> PrincipalPanel (or something like that, sorry I don't remember the exact class name)

So... that was all, there are no more issues! great job Mr. Grim.
