Title: Explorer Itemsview FontShadow Post by: Dave Senior on August 04, 2011, 09:19:33 pm If you want to add a shadow to the text in Explorer ItemsView windows add these attributes to the following locations in System32 > Explorerframe.dll > UIFILE 40960 .
Fontstyle="shadow" Shadowintensity="---" (Can go up to "500" for the Intensity value) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Open uifile 40960 in notepad- Search for - <style resid="ItemsView"> all the locations are below it. Locations: This one does all itemsview window text. Code: xml element background="argb(0,0,0,0)" contentalign="topleft"(Can only control shadow intensity in certain areas ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Individual Locations (add the attributes to all these) -Empyt Folder Text Code: xml UIBase background="argb(0,0,0,0)" contentalign="topleft" - group header text Code: xml UIGroupHeader background="argb(0,0,0,0)" contentalign="topleft" - Itemsview Header text Code: xml UIViewHeader background="argb(0,0,0,0)" contentalign="topleft" -Content/Details View text Code: xml UIItem background="argb(0,0,0,0)" contentalign="topleft" -Itemsview / Items view selected text (also Group Header text) Code: xml UIProperty background="argb(0,0,0,0)" contentalign="topleft" - Detailstext Code: xml UITilesPropertyCollection background="argb(0,0,0,0)" contentalign="topleft" -Try harder text Code: xml UITryHarder background="argb(0,0,0,0)" contentalign="topleft" It should look like this when you're done- eg : Code: xml UIBase background="argb(0,0,0,0)" contentalign="topleft" fontstyle="shadow" shadowintensity="300" (Locations with single text controls will override those that control several locations .. eg : if you put something in UIProperty Background it's groupheader part can be overridden by adding to <UIGroupheader background..) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can also add a font attribute at the above locations to take control of various Itemsview fonts- Adding - font="gtf(Listview, 6, 0, 807)" to Code: xml UIGroupHeader background="argb(0,0,0,0)" contentalign="topleft" After Code: xml UIGroupHeader background="argb(0,0,0,0)" contentalign="topleft" font="gtf(Listview, 6, 0, 807)" Will make the font for GroupHeader Text be at - Lists, Menus & Tabs > ListView > GroupHeader > Heading1Font:Font. You can link to any existing font in the .msstyles ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note : Remember this is a system file so the edits will show up in all themes. The shadow doesn't work on rgb( 0, 0, 0 ) textcolor . You'll need to experiment to get whats best for you. You can use Fontshadow and shadowintensity in alot of other uifiles, Make backups of explorerframe.dll Test the UIFILE In Res Spy first if possible End result - :) (http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums/m603/Dave_Sr_2011/Themes/Explorersmallfont.png) (http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums/m603/Dave_Sr_2011/Themes/exp.png) here's a few examples of other UIFILES with fontshadow added.

Also if I recall correctly you can also control the shadow size via the msstyles with gtmet(c, p, s, 2402) pointing to ALPHALEVEL:INT Title: Re: Explorer Itemsview FontShadow Post by: Dave Senior on August 04, 2011, 10:03:28 pm Nice :) Also if I recall correctly you can also control the shadow size via the msstyles with gtmet(c, p, s, 2402) pointing to ALPHALEVEL:INT Thanks :) , been wondering if that could be done, I'll give it ago. Title: Re: Explorer Itemsview FontShadow Post by: rajtheeban on October 02, 2011, 07:39:25 am Is it possible to change the color of this shadow (white instead of black) ? ( playing with the "shadowintensity" property maybe) ?
I've already managed to get a green shadow a long time ago, don't know how I did (probably a bug lol)...

Never managed to change the shadow color,tried all kinds of things,not even a green shadow for me.I keep having ago at it ... If you find a solution I'd be interested to know how it's done :) Title: Re: Explorer Itemsview FontShadow Post by: Panda X on October 02, 2011, 01:18:53 pm I'm 99% sure it can't be changed.
