Talking about this bar

3am do you also know where to change color of menu bar just above command module 1 ( not shown in screenshot as it is hidden ) ?

wow vistatweak , how did you change your icons in config panel ??

Yes and the colors of the Tabs are the uifile.txt in the ieframe.dll

Thanks panda and sunbeam for help .

By the way sunbeam , how does it look for changing tabs color in this txt , I mean is there specific words to search ? ( I'm running win 7 x64 )

Regards

Wondering if anybody found how to hack IE8 ? ( menu bar , toolbars , colors and fonts ) .

ATM googled everywhere without success . Seems only IE6 ? was the only to be hackable.

I saw in iedvtool.dll it is possible but how . 

Thanks Spitzen it works ^^

HI

Here is something strange , everytime I add a new property , then test the theme , the add property menu disappears !




Has somebody else this issue ??

Hope it be solved for next version , I have to close and save VSB and re open each time I chaneg or add a property .

Very annoying .   

Somebody knows where is located the drive bar image showing full capacity of HDD ? ( the white space bar on the screen )

edit : found in

Buttons, Boxes & Controls > Progress Bars > Normal > TransparentBar > <2>

thx for info ^^

well 3am it changed my background of favorites IE8 and also 7 style builder 's one too but not the left panel from start menu 



I'm confused , but thanks anyway !

@katsuo

thanks for this useful tip !

Thanks ka-la ! you got it 





I prefer that way , looks better now 

Hi

I'm definitively clueless , search everywhere .

Can somebody tell me how to mask that field to only appear when hovering with the mouse both in IE8 and explorer ?

I know it is possible but how ? (like  my adress bar does on the left  ) 



Thanks !!

euh .. I wen to  Start > StartMenu > Panels > Aero > Top > ProgramsList
but how do you import an image there ?

I can't seem to find any background

and what does this field mean ( property ) " imagefile:filename image#872 " ??

It is hard for the noob I am 

Hi

i'm trying to change (background and font) the context-menu/right-click of start menu, but i didn't success to find it...Where must i search?

How did you change the background there ?

And do you know how to change background for the left panel of start menu to ged rid of awful white background ( even make it transparent ) for 7 ? 

sure this fix helped me , although I don't have cairo shell installed .

Tried it few weeks ago but don't like it .

Don't know what it is ever meant to desserve . opus directory is by far the best as explorer replacement .

It is saved but I just noticed when I loaded and saved the other msstyle I've modified , then rebooted ,  details pane color is ok and stay blue .

so now I let it as main style .

very strange . 

Thanks for info Panda x

I'm learning every day ^^

When I try some visual under 7SB just seems fine .



Then save and reboot , the color "reset" to white .



What's the matter ?? 

Firstly thought it was the top location of my details pane causing the trouble , but saw many other screens with such top location .

I change background color there :




Are there other settings that I should make in 7 SB ?

ok just founded the right location for settings.ini

Reboot several times and works fine now .

Have to edit in appdata\ROAMING\vistastylebuilder

 

[here's a temp. solution:]

Hi

I really need help , I've searched all around the posts and saw that wasn't the only one with that issue :

Running win 7 x64 , when I save a msstyle after modify one and restart comp , I get stucked at logon screen  !

The only thing I could do was to unpatch system files with an other account to log in my regular one !

I also tried the workaround told by Andreas there :

We (hopefully) identified the problem; here's a temp. solution:
1. Open up (or create the file) %appdata%/vistastylebuilder/settings.ini in notepad, be sure to give it an *.ini extension.
2. Add the following:

[Settings]
FirstImageId=508

3. Save the ini file
4. Resave your msstyles file
5. it should no longer crash now

Ifthis proves to be working for everyone, we'll release an update for VSB/7SB.

But no way .
Since I got my licence for 1 day , does the last release has that bug ? seems yes .

My other question is about where to put that ini file

I have 3 main folders inside the hidden folder "appdata ( local/locallow/ and roaming )
The path designed means to create vistastylebuilder beside them ?
( I did that way but still the same issue at login

%appdata%/vistastylebuilder/  what path is that ?

or should I had put the folder inside one of the others mentioned ??

I used UniversalThemePatcher-x64 , had not patched other system files ( explorer.exe/shell32.dll and explorerframe.dll are untouched )

and the mstyle I tried to save is Soliq7_1_VS_for_WIN7_RTM_by_rheaoctober( just changed background explorer , tree pane and details pane colors plus soe fonts colors )

I'd like to say too i have no issues when applying 7 visual styles already made by others .

Thanks for help , I'm driving mad and sad not to be able to use your nice soft ! 

je cause les 2 katsuo lol

I can speak both languages katsuo ^^ 

@rajtheeban
j'ai testé et en fait ça rend l'arborescence ( volet gauche ) blanc ! et aucun changement à droite

Par contre Spitzen a trouvé !!

Merci de ton aide

@spitzen

thank you very much !! you're a saver and very kind to help despite we both talk french with rajtheeban 

Thanks and excuse me for further questions but I have to practice with VSB 

I think it may be possible by editing the bitmap within shell32.dll

Don't know yet where it is located .

Je testerai et te dirai ça en rentrant du taf

Merci pour l'autre post , je viens de découvir en effet que le bouton "add property" apparaissait parfois !

[background="themeable(gtc(ItemsView, 0, 0, 3802), window)"]

Merci de ta réponse rapide !

Malheureusement j'avais déjà vu un sujet identique et sous 7 je me retrouve avec ces lignes un peu différentes :

<if id="atom(clientviewhost)">

<ViewHost

foreground="windowtext"

background="themeable(gtc(ItemsView, 0, 0, 3802), window)"

sortcolumn="themeable(gtc(ItemsView, 0, 0, 3802), window)"

subtext="ARGB(255, 139, 139, 139)"

a quoi correspond "gtc" et pourquoi ce code "3802" ?


( c'est bien le fichier shellstyle.dll du repertoire resource/theme et non pas celui du repertoire system32 ? )

J'avoue que je patauge là ^^ !

[add the font property/ et ajoute la proprièté "police]

Salut! (Français ?)

Start > StartMenu > Menus > Aero > ListView and add the font property/ et ajoute la proprièté "police"

Hi

How do you add properties that are not in VSB menus ??

That is something I don't understand

Hi

I'm new in this forum and experiencing VSB . ( not easy since there is no documentation lol )

I started few days ago reading tips but I don't know how to change explorer background ( succeeded with tree panel background )

Is there a way to change from white defaut to another color ? is transparent background possible too ( as seen with windowsblind users ) ?




Another point is it norma I don't habe any settings in that menu " common places " ??



Thanks for helping !
