CRYPTIC MUI Side Images by ~ HammerJack...

[HammerJack]

Styled after the amazing Windows 7 Theme 'Cryptic' by ~ ONE MAN ARMY,
and Windows 8 Theme porting by ~ Lamia.
My contribution to this Phenomenal project is this new set of MUI Side images.


For those who do not know what side images are..
Simply said, this mod adds an image on the left side of selected Windows properties windows.
For example; if you open Control Panel and select 'Taskbar and Start Menu' what do you see?
The options for Taskbar, Toolbars, & Start Menu are positioned in that pop up window.
But, add these side images and viola!.

NOTE

- These ready made files are written for English language only. Sorry. - The SFX installer will work on Windows 7 SP1 only.

*** This video shows a sample of this set of Cryptic MUI Side Images ***

Watch a video [HERE] that will demonstrate the installation of these by using a SFX Installer developed with the help of gsw953..
Watch a video (COMING SOON) that will demonstrate how to manully install ready made system files..


One of my goals was to make one color that would contrast well with all the theme colors.
The color I am targeting is something like a blue-streaked gray steel color.
Close to a desaturated but a hint of some kind of color.
Hopefully these may be that universal 'go-to' set of side images for any dark theme?


........../ Two versions available.
Look for the link to each version below.

Version1 has more pattern added in the side handle.
Version2 has more glass in the side handle.

The images are now packed in a new easy to use, fully tested SFX installer so you do not have to install these the manual way.
With a couple of clicks, the Installer.exe will do it for you. There’s no more hassle with replacing system files the manual way.
Plus there is a Restore.exe to change the Side Images back to default.
Plus the ready made files are available by themselves in a separate download if you want to install these manually.
(Written Instructions are included in the download.)

Thanks to ~ Razorsedge for creating the 1st ready made .mui files.
Without his hard work to modify the original files, and his permission to add my own images,
I would not have made these at all. All I did was make new .bmp images and put the two together.
Thanks to the efforts of ~ gsw953 and his development of the .exe,
I just packed everything in an easy to use SFX Installer for my MUI Side Images.
