Title: [Resource] Universal Shellstyle.dll Post by: satukoro on July 29, 2009, 11:05:57 am I modified my shellstyle.dll to use elements (such as window background color and text color) from the visual style it is placed with. This is especially useful for people who create dark themes on a regular basis, etc, etc.

Title: Re: [Resource] Universal Shellstyle.dll Post by: satukoro on July 29, 2009, 10:25:37 pm Yes, I guess it does make editing the shellstyle manually obsolete. The only thing that you would need to change are image 121 and 122 to suit the theme.

How did you do this? Does it basically make editing the shellstyle useless? He got rid of the local definition which forces it to use a global variable linked to the MSSTYLES file.

Also do you need a template msstyles to work with it, with all the additional entries? Title: Re: [Resource] Universal Shellstyle.dll Post by: satukoro on August 06, 2009, 12:30:52 am Well, no, it will not work for Windows 7. When I get/install Windows 7, I will create one. Also, it should work for all themes designed Windows Vista.

No because neither are defined in any DUIXML file throughout the system.Title: Re: [Resource] Universal Shellstyle.dll Post by: mdtauk on August 06, 2009, 01:50:56 am No because neither are defined in any DUIXML file throughout the system. Thanks for that, I guess a pure msstyles is never possible, oh well... |
