Title: Error Testing MsStyles File Post by: Ysabel on February 14, 2010, 05:08:18 pm Using VSB for the first time having read through many postings.
Saw another post similar to this - (http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c27/Ysabel_Kid_1976/Msstyles-error-001.jpg) Where have I gone wrong? Title: Re: Error Testing MsStyles File Post by: 2befine on February 14, 2010, 05:12:52 pm S**t happens sometimes :) after you click ok then Test again it works?

Today I got pass that but got this - (http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c27/Ysabel_Kid_1976/vsb-001.jpg) Somehow I also do not get the grey background which I wanted. Title: Re: Error Testing MsStyles File Post by: 3am on February 16, 2010, 03:06:45 pm You seem to be confused right at the start. Try this:
1) Make a copy of Aero 2) Rename it something like Test, and everything else in it that says Aero (rightclick, choose rename) 3) Store it anywhere 4) Start WSB. Click "Open an existing visual style". Open your Test.msstyles 5) Do your change at Explorer&Shell > Explorer> ItemsView > ItemsView: Fillcolor 6) Save your change to Test.msstyles 7) Choose to use your new visual style 8) You should now see default Aero with your new Explorer background 9) That's it. You don't have to do anything else. NEVER try to modify default Aero.msstyles. Title: Re: Error Testing MsStyles File Post by: Ysabel on February 17, 2010, 09:38:23 pm Thanks for the tips.
Using the new msstyles did not change the background colour and I got a classic start button instead of the orb. Hmmm .. :-[ Title: Re: Error Testing MsStyles File Post by: Ysabel on February 22, 2010, 10:22:11 pm Thanks for your patience.
I installed the following - Microsoft.Visual.C++.2008.Redistributable.Package.x64 UxStyle_Core_jul13_x64 First attempt - makes me want to be more adventurous (http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c27/Ysabel_Kid_1976/vsb-004.jpg) :D |
