Help / Windows 7 / Re: Test in 1.4 not working in 7057 X64

Win7 beta's do something a bit different at the moment which does not always pick up when the theme enabler needs to be run -> you can run CustomThemeEnabler64 manually as admin to allow the theme to be tested.

Main / Announcements / New Forum Theme
|

I've added a "Vista Style Builder" theme, which uses the same colors as the VSB site and blog. It's not really nice yet, so I personally still use the "alak" theme.
You can change your forum theme under "Profile" -> "Look and Layout Preferences" => Current theme <name> (change)
I'm open to suggestions for better SMF themes.

This worked for a bunch of people: this is also the only change in 1.3 from 1.2.5, actually.
As I said, I'm investigating the issue.

I can do the exact same thing you described without problem. This is either a x64 problem (which I will check shortly) or another app is causing crashes (this happens pretty often).

I checked the XP-theme and it seems to use some rather unusual small images, I suspect that is where Vista is choking on.
Are you sure you are replacing the correct startbutton? In vista, there are actually 3 different ones, plus each DPI setting has a custom one.
Could you reproduce the crash exactly and tell me exactly on how to reproduce it? Thanks.

Recently, I have been coding a in-memory UxThemePatcher module, which will patch uxtheme files in memory, so no disk files need to be modified.
Do you think it would benefit to integrate this into VSB when testing a theme?

Documentation IdeaI got this idea to add a built-into-vsb community documentation feature; You would be able to add comments to any element or property by clicking the "ADD COMMENT" button. Those comments will then be made available to all other users directly. Community Comments, in turn, would be directly accessible from within VSB. Any thoughts on this? Because, before I'm going to implement it, I want to know if it will be used at all (see the requested wiki which isn't used in any way ).
