This is a port of the Retribution Remastered - Desaturarted Edition theme by Razorsedege (http://virtualcustoms.net/member.php/148478-razorsedge).
Big thanks to Mr.Grim (http://virtualcustoms.net/member.php/1-Mr-GRiM), Dark Knight (http://virtualcustoms.net/member.php/199178-Dark-Knight) & Nimbi (http://virtualcustoms.net/member.php/280551-Nimbi) for their contribution & input which made this port possible.

How To:
You'll need your system patched with UXThemePatcher.
You'll also need 'StartIsBack' to apply the start menu & taskbar style & 'OldNewExplorer' for windows explorer to look exactly like it is in the screenshot.

Links to required software:

UltraUXThemePatcher (https://www.syssel.net/hoefs/software_uxtheme.php?lang=en)

If you want to use the original icons go into C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\Retribution Remastered - Special Desaturated Edition\Imageres.dll\ & delete all the icons in there. No way to change the font colour without editing the theme itself.

Sounds good. And I assume I can edit the theme with WSB, correct?

Hi devilInside,

No, I dont want the start menu customized at all. I just want the font color of explorer windows changed to white. I hope this theme doesnt change the appearance of the start menu. So where do I change the font color in WSB?

hey mate.. extremely sorry for the late reply..didn't notice your post..
anyway.. for the explorer texts: there are quite a few different locations but lets just start simple..

assuming you want to change the text colours for explorer in its default state, as in , when you first open the window, look here:

1)Explorer & Shell > Explorer > Items View > ItemsView: TEXTCOLOR ( C drive /D drive -these text)
2)Explorer & Shell > Explorer > Items View > ItemsView > Details > Property: TEXTCOLOR (for the details on your partitions, as in the free space, etc)
3)Explorer & Shell > Explorer > Items View > ItemsView > Details > Details View Default: TEXTCOLOR (pretty much self explanatory following the above property)
4)Explorer & Shell > Explorer > Items View > ItemsView > Details > Selected: TEXTCOLOR (Colour property for no.1 but in a clicked/selected state)
5)Explorer & Shell > Explorer > Items View > ItemsView > Details > Compressed Folder: TEXTCOLOR
6)Explorer & Shell > Explorer > Items View > ItemsView > Details > Compressed Folder Selected: TEXTCOLOR
7)Explorer & Shell > Explorer > Items View > ItemsView > Details > Encrypted Folder: TEXTCOLOR
8)Explorer & Shell > Explorer > Items View > ItemsView > Details > Encrypted Folder Selected: TEXTCOLOR
9)Explorer & Shell > Explorer > Items View > ItemsView > Search Label: TEXTCOLOR

hope that helps

that ain't the status bar mate.. that's the Details Pane... if you don't want it, open up ONE & look for the option "Show details pane on the bottom" & uncheck it...(it's located just above the two drop downs @ the bottom of the ONE config window)..

Wassup devilinside,

Yeah that works now! But ONE has some lag to it cuz I I had to check then uncheck that option. Thats how it worked for me. I got 1.1.8.4 btw. Thanks man.

nah mate, thats not lag... after you change any option in ONE, you need to restart explorer for it to take effect, or at the very least.. close all open explorer windows & open a new one all over again
.. & your version is the latest one so dont worry

Hahaha right on bro.....

Ok first go to the color you want to change... i used menu text for example.. click menu text and color picker opens.. add to custom colors and click cancel.
Next click on color replacer at the top.. click to the right in the box where it says replace... choose from the custom colors you just added..
then click the " with " box and choose whatever color you want to replace with and click ok.. a lil box will appear telling you how many place where the
color was changed

Theres no 'Context Menu' under 'Lists, Menus & Tabs' in my WSB and I'm sure I'm using the same version you're using. I'm using 1.5.6.3 Beta version. Do you think its not there cuz I got a Beta version?
