Lists view text glow style hack

[Dave Senior]

A style hack to add a glow to many list views in windows 7,this is just a demo hack
with blue glow so you can see where it effects.

To do it yourself, add these properties to-
-Lists ,Menu,s & Tabs>Listview

Bool:Composited>True
Int:Textglowsize:>Your size
Int:Glowintensity>Your size
Glow color should already be there

(In task manager when using black glow,the text blurs out on hover
and selection.)

Bonus -The one color - 1 px border for list view in task manager(Lists ,Menu,s & Tabs>Listview>bordercolor)gets over ridden by the btn properties in -Fonts ,colors & system metrics > Fonts & system metrics so you now have a 3d effect there as seen in the picture.

Anyway I hope this is of some use to somebody
Bye

Nice find, shame it doesn't work with the shadow effect as well.

Mr GRiM » Today, 4:00 am[/url]]Nice find, shame it doesn't work with the shadow effect as well.

I agree, I much prefer the shadow look. (Nice touch with the image addition in that area by the way,I,m noticing new things in the death star theme all the time.)
Thank,s any way

[Mr GRiM]

Yeah there a few extra properties I have added along the way, I added some extra properties for hot Selected and selected not focused now as well.

Bool:Compositedopaque-true+all the textshadow properties added to the above location gives you textshadow.
MAKES YOUR WALLPAPER DISAPPEAR THOUGH
1 step forward 2 steps back
