1) right side: Start > StartMenu > Panels > Aero > Top > PlacesList
2) search area: Start > StartMenu > Panels > Aero > Top > OpenBox

i don't know if i understood but i think it isn't a place in particular for this part: it includes several parts:

1) for buttons, you must see in your browseui file
2) for adress bar (background): Address, Breadcrumb & Search > Address > AddressBand > Basic > AddressBand > <1>
--------------------(font):Toolbars, Headers and Rebar > Toolbars & Headers > BB Toolbar > Basic > Normal > Active > <default>
3) and for search box, i think, Address, Breadcrumb & Search > Help > SearchBox > <1>
4) for all background, see in the stream: (aero) Windows and Caption Buttons > Aero > Dwm Window > Frames
-------------------------------------------- ---(basic) Windows and Caption Buttons > Basic > Caption

 1) Explorer & Shell > Explorer > ListView > ListItem > HotSelected
 2) Styles > ControlPanelStyle > ContentLink
 3) Taskbar & Tray Notify > Tray Notify > Basic > Horizontal > Button:Open
      Taskbar & Tray Notify > Tray Notify > Basic > Horizontal > Button
 4) ( i don't sure)Taskbar & Tray Notify > Taskbar > Basic > Rebar > Chevron
      Taskbar & Tray Notify > Taskbar > Basic > Toolbar > DropDownButton

3 solutions:

1) in documentations settings modify the name

2) or install Deskhack: it allows you to show the real name of your visual style: http://www.vista123.net/files/File/Others/VistaDeskHack.rar

3) try to apply it with tune up utilites (almost all themes creators use it)

i see 2 type of fonts in the taskbar:

1) the font of taskbar: Taskbar & Tray Notify > Taskband > Aero > Toolbar > <default>
2 and for system tray (hour and date): Taskbar & Tray Notify > Tray Notify > Aero > Clock > Time

hi pelotica:

1) for the background of favorite links: use the stylehack created by Panda x http://stylehacks.deviantart.com/art/Favorite-Links-Gradient-101822134
After  search: Explorer & Shell > Shell > CommonPlaces > Toolbar (you can add your own image or modify the gradient effect)
2) for the right part and top part of this background, you must see in your shellstyle: open it with a hex editor (restorator 2007 for example) and extray UIFILE.txt, and search <CommonPlacesHost (somewhere in middle)

<CommonPlacesHost
background="themeable(argb(255, 209, 215, 226), window)"
foreground="themeable(argb(255, 86, 86, 86), windowtext)"
padding="rect(0rp,0rp,5rp,0rp)"

also: search <if id="atom(ProperTreeLinksHeader)">

<if id="atom(ProperTreeLinksHeader)">
<Element
foreground="themeable(argb(255, 0, 0, 0), windowtext)"
background="themeable(argb(255, 209, 215, 226), window)"
padding="rect(9rp,9rp,0rp,7rp)"
font="gtf(textstyle, TEXT_BODYTEXT, 2)"

you must change background lign (in red) with your color

3) finally for the second background, in UIFILE.txt, search <style resid="propertreestyle">

<style resid="propertreestyle">
<ProperTreeModule
background="themeable(argb(255, 255, 255, 255), window)"
foreground="themeable(argb(255, 86, 86, 86), windowtext)"
/>

and search: <ProperTreeHost

<ProperTreeHost
fontsize="sysmetric(DSM_ICONFONTSIZE)"
fontweight="sysmetric(DSM_ICONFONTWEIGHT)"
fontstyle="sysmetric(DSM_ICONFONTSTYLE)"
fontface="sysmetricstr(DSMS_ICONFONTFACE)"
animation="rectangle|s|fast"
background="themeable(argb(255, 255, 255, 255), window)"
foreground="themeable(argb(255, 0, 0, 0), windowtext)"
padding="rect(0rp,0rp,5rp,0rp)"

and change background color

Save the modification with hex editor

maybe you should look  :

Fonts, Colors & System Metrics > Fonts & System Metrics>PADDEDBORDERWIDTH:SIZE

or

Windows and Caption Buttons > Aero > Dwm Window > Frames > Normal
Windows and Caption Buttons > Aero > Dwm Window > Frames > Fading
Windows and Caption Buttons > Aero > Dwm Window > Frames > ToolWindow

Why not this?   

i'm trying it, but i have a problem

when i install a theme (found in deviantart for example), i get the following result:



Why? because the theme donwloaded isn't created for windows 7, only vista?

no files patched requires???? 

i 'll buy it 

edit: i have just bought it; i try and  notify you

Hi

sorry for my english 


I 'm going to install windows 7 RC maybe tomorrow, and i would like to know:

- i think i install it with upgrade: vista to windows 7 RC; as i use currently VSB, is it necessary to patch again shsvs.dll, themeui.dll and uxtheme.dll files? Or these files are automatically patched?

- otherwise, it is a uxtheme patcher for build 6.1.7000 ?

hi iJesse

for explorer:

- for hover images (= local disk, ) adress selection= ( i'm not sure)
Address, Breadcrumb & Search > Address > AddressBand > Basic > AddressBand > <1> ; 
Address, Breadcrumb & Search > Breadcrumb > Basic > Normal > Active > <1>
Address, Breadcrumb & Search > Search > Button Toolbar > Aero > SplitButtonDropDown
Address, Breadcrumb & Search > Search > Button Toolbar > Basic > Button
Address, Breadcrumb & Search > Search > Button Toolbar > Basic > SplitButton
Address, Breadcrumb & Search > Search > Button Toolbar > Basic > SplitButtonDropDown
                     

- for hover images example programs files): Explorer & Shell > Explorer > ListView > ListItem

- for info box= Explorer & Shell > Explorer > Tooltip > Balloon

i don't understand, you mean ?

yeah sunbeam thank you very much!

for make the icon bigger, i suceeded

and for the favorites links' background, i understand: you must add something like " resbmp xxx = number of your image resbmp123, 6,0, 0,0, etc in your visual style)

there is also a method for center text of favorites links
add: "contentalign="middlecenter"

example:

<if id="atom(ProperTreeLinksHeader)">
<Element
"contentalign="middlecenter"
foreground="themeable(argb(255, 255, 255, 255), windowtext)"
background="themeable(argb(255, 45, 85, 115), window)"
padding="rect(9rp,9rp,0rp,7rp)"
font="gtf(textstyle, TEXT_BODYTEXT, 0)"



 

i think it is impossible to modify, i tried it 

1) for words "programs", "files" etc:
 Lists, Menus & Tabs > ListView > GroupHeader: HEADING1TEXTCOLOR:COLOR

also, you can change the font (size, italic etc)



2) for lines, i think:
Lists, Menus & Tabs > ListView > GroupHeaderLine

3) for words: "Search everywhere, in internet ":
Start > StartMenu > Panels > Basic > TopMatch

super merci!

tks it works, very easy 8)

tks panda

concerning the first problem , i didn't suceeded to resolve it with vsb, i had to looked in shellstyle option (UIFLE);

<if id="atom(ProperTreeLinksHeader)">
<Element
foreground="themeable(argb(255, 255, 255, 255), windowtext)"
background="themeable(argb(255, 45, 85, 115), window)"
padding="rect(9rp,9rp,0rp,7rp)"
font="gtf(textstyle, TEXT_BODYTEXT, 0)"

Hi all

1) at first, i would like to know to do for modifying the font and the background of favorites links; this is the favorites links by default:

 

but this is the same favorites link but revisited in this visuals tyle



the font and the background has been modified: how to?

2) after, how to resize the icon of the shellstyle? this is the icon's size by default:
