Title: Default Colorization
Post by: nut on July 21, 2013, 08:31:50 am
How can i set a default colorization for a style ?
Now it's blue, i want to turn it into dark grey.

I suppose i have to edit some values in .theme file ?

Thanks.

Under the VisualStyles section of the .theme file you can put this:

AutoColorization=0
ColorizationColor=0XAARRGGBB

Just replace AARRGGBB with actual values.

Alternatively you can set it here: Windows & Caption Buttons > Aero > DWM Window > Frames > Window > Top > Active and change ColorizationColor:Int to something, though you'll have to use my Colorization Color tool to convert ARGB to Int: http://vistastylebuilder.com/forum/index.php?topic=1187.0

Just tried to edit the .theme file, but it didn't quite work as i thought.

I changed colorization into plain white (ffffff)
It turned unfocused window into white, but focused window turned into black.

So it only changes unfocused window color and changes focused window color into black ?

You forgot 2 Fs, it's ARGB not RGB. So it would be FFFFFFFF.

By simply modifying the value. For example FFDDDDDD would less bright than FFFFFFFF

Where is that black text color ?
Atleast it's not window text color...

Edit: Is it possible to use individual navigation buttons on the window seen above ?
It was possible on 7, or actually they were separate files.

Textcolor is Explorer & Shell > Shell > AeroWizard > TitleBar > Active and Inactive  (you have to add one for Active)

All Nav buttons, except Refresh, are in one spot now: Buttons, Boxes, & Controls > Buttons > Navigation. Refresh is still in ExplorerFrame.dll
