[How To] Change the Homegroup Background
This tutorial will show you how to change the Home Page background on your custom theme.
Full credits for this go to Panda X and 3am on the Style Builder Forums https://vistastylebuilder.com/forum/i...p?topic=1586.0
This edit needs to be done in your themes shellstyle.dll (the one in the shell folder that is in your themes folder)
You will need a resource hacker to open the shellstyle.dll then you will have to extract the UI file to your desktop then open the UI file using Notepad++
Search for <if class="bp_pane"> and that will show you the gradients:
background = "themeable(gradient(argb(229,236,244,255), argb(252,252,252,255), argb(247,249,253,255), 4), window)"
Now all you need to do is change all of the argb colours to match your theme, you can do it as a gradient or just make all of the colours the same to make it a solid colour.
To find the corect rgb colour just open your theme in WSB and find the colour you set for the explorer background in Explorer & Shell > Explorer > Items View > ItemsView > FillColor
So for my Zero-G for example will look like this
background = "themeable(gradient(argb(229,63,66,70), argb(252,63,66,70), argb(247,63,66,70), 4), window)"
Now once you have edited the UI file you need to save it and then add it back into the shellstyle.dll and save.
And the end result
