Title: Cant Find These
Post by: xXiNightXx on October 06, 2009, 01:54:52 am
Where do i find the images for the details pan and the explorer bar, the one that goes under the Explorer+Shell>Explorer>CommandModule>1. I can only change the glass cover over that area.

in original Vista Theme it's an ARGB Gradient in UI.txt in shellstyle.dll, not an image

There are a lot Shellstyles around that put an BMP in this area
(the problem is, that it blows up the filesize of the shellstyle (i've seen shellstyles with 6MB Filesize :S)
But you can also place an opaque image in CommandModule and Previewpane/1/1
(7 UI does it this way)  so the gradient ist overlayed with your desired image.

in my last firedance VS i've linked it  (in the shellstyle) to a new image section in the MSStyle, so the background image can be set in the msstyle and the shinelayer is still possible.

how this works, is described here http://vistastylebuilder.com/forum/index.php?topic=215.0

i'm thinking about a tutorial for this special topic..
