Hi

i'm trying to change (background and font) the context-menu/right-click of start menu, but i didn't success to find it...Where must i search?

(maybe like vista)

1) for the header (September 2009): Explorer & Shell > Shell > MonthCal > <1>
2) the background for the days: Explorer & Shell > Shell > MonthCal > <1>
3) for their texts: Explorer & Shell > Shell > MonthCal > <6> (normal/hover etc)
4) and for the clock and his background, you must probably see in your timedate.cpl file (system32 folder)

and for the glow effect (and the font) of adress bar use this stylehack created by Panda X: http://stylehacks.deviantart.com/art/Address-Bar-Text-Glow-101487762
for the "search" text: Address, Breadcrumb & Search > Search > Edit > Aero > Normal > Active

Welcome !

for the right side: Start > StartMenu > Panels > Aero > Top > PlacesList (textcolor and hottracking)
for the left: Start > StartMenu > Panels > Basic > ProgramsList (the same thing)

suggestion (i don't know if it works !)

Try to replace that:

<style resid="propertreestyle">
<ProperTreeModule
background="themeable(argb(255, 255, 255, 255), window)"
foreground="themeable(argb(255, 86, 86, 86), windowtext)"
/>
<CommonPlacesHost
background="themeable(argb(255, 252, 252, 252), window)"
foreground="themeable(argb(255, 86, 86, 86), windowtext)"
padding="rect(5rp,0rp,8rp,0rp)"
/>
<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, 252, 252, 252), window)"
foreground="themeable(argb(255, 0, 0, 0), windowtext)"
padding="rect(5rp,0rp,8rp,0rp)"
/>

By that:

<style resid="propertreestyle">
<ProperTreeModule
background="themeable(argb(255, 255, 255, 255), window)"
foreground="themeable(argb(255, 86, 86, 86), windowtext)"
/>
<CommonPlacesHost
background="themeable(argb(255, 252, 252, 252), window)"
foreground="themeable(argb(255, 86, 86, 86), windowtext)"
padding="rect(5rp,0rp,8rp,0rp)"
/>
<ProperTreeHost
height="0rp"
/>

Indeed big problem Huh?

I tried and it seems possible to move (or delete) it changing the contentmargins, like Sunbeam said in start menu properties, more precisely : Start > StartMenu > Panels > Aero > Top > PlacesList (i put for example: 3, 15, 0, 5)
and i get this result, the arrow doesn't appear in this case

Normal:

Moved to left :

to delete it, , try "-50" instead of "15"

I learned it is possible to change the text of search box (not only the font, the glow and its color, but directly the text) if i edit the browseui.dll.mui file

I extract this file with restorator, but after what kind of software must i use to realize this edition, because Dev- C++ 4.9.9.2 doesn't seem to work ? When i restart, the text stays the same

any help is very appreciated, I try to change the text for others parts of the interface

is coming soon 8)

if you find others animations, it will be great

for example a zoom effect?
other effect: the text appears from left and disappears to right ?

we can bring others modifications, like thumbnails animated

Ok I've just shared my last and first visual style, Tran's'pace, in its ultimate version 8)

I was boring with the static text by default in vista, in the shellstyle Huh?

I've been the idea to install some animations to brighten the navigation in explorer: This is, in exclusivity, the first visual style and shellstyle with texts animated in the detail pane: Tongue

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7N2pLm3wEww

I'll try to publish a tuutorial wich explains how to do; for the moment you can download the VS and see in the shellstyle the modifications brought

Many thx to K-Johnson and Cyntar7 for the beta-test Smiley

What do you think ?

Thx Kerry !

1) the problem is resolved now

2) for the glow effect in fact i added the properties only from VSB (without the shellstyle), as explained by Idas here, usefull tutorial: http://vistastylebuilder.com/forum/index.php?topic=20.msg99#msg99. For the black text, the problem stays. I'm going to see in the shellstyle

3) finally for the background, thanks to you, i succeeded to change it in blue

I almost completed my first visual style (i'll publish it probably tomorrow), but i need some helps concerning 3 problems, all in savedialogbox, like shown in this screen:

1) Where can i find the image which corresponds to the selection ?

2) I tried to add a glow effect on the text in explorer (following Idas' tutorial), more precisely black glow and white text, but it seems that it doesn't work with the savedialogbox: the glow effect is black but the text stays also black...how to change this??

3) in the same way, i modified the color of the explorer's background (blue clear), but in the savedialog this change doesn't work: how to change its background to this blue color? Probably i must see in my shellstyle, but i don't know where precisely

Thx

Fonts, Colors & System Metrics > Fonts & System Metrics > BTNFACE:Color it seems

maybe in Start > StartMenu > Panels > Aero > Top > ProgramsList,
Start > StartMenu > Panels > Aero > Top > NSCHost
Start > StartMenu > Panels > Aero > Top > SearchView try in sizingmargins: 13, 6, -10, -5 (for the 3)

and Start > StartMenu > Panels > Aero > Top > PlacesList : 0, 7, -10, -5

and for the left and right panel, delete the transparent part useless (edit also all images modified by this resize)

and for the blue color, i suggest to search its color

argb(0, 249, 237, 229) maybe it will work

found with GetRGBColor http://vistastylebuilder.com/forum/index.php?topic=418.0

this tool allows to resolve almost all problems with a color in VSB

Fillcolor yes, always for background

back again with another question.

any ideas how to fix the problem I've got in this image

you people are geniuses!

Somewhere in controp panel, i've already seen it, search this color with this code :

choose value and write argb(0, 125, 125, 125)

exact: more precisely: Fonts, Colors & System Metrics > Fonts & System Metrics >Hottracking:color (with vista it works)

i have just made a little tuto which explains how to do, not revolutionary but useful:

http://RajTheeban95.deviantart.com/art/move-the-nav-panel-to-right-132716998

see UKintel tutorial: http://ukintel.deviantart.com/art/Vista-Hex-Editing-Tutorial-0-7-60297439

search the following text ( 6 time):

for text : workgroup, processor and memory you must change the similar text: "MetadataLabel foreground="themeable(ARGB(255, 0, 255, 0)" to your color (here 0, 255, 0= green

for the others texts NVIDIA, WORKGROUP, AMD sempron, etc, you must change the similar text "themeable(ARGB(255, 255, 128, 0); here = orange

Fonts, Colors & System Metrics > Fonts & System Metrics> BTNFACE:COLOR i believe

Hi

I know for example 3DUserpic is able to do it, with some modifications in setting file, but i would like to know if it is possible to move this userpic, to left, from VSB ? I almost achieved my second visual style, and this information can change all my start menu....

we can delete it, but to move it? what must I do?

1) for the text of dialogbox: Styles > TextStyle > BodyText
But there is a problem: you can change the type of font (normal, bold, underlign etc), but i tried and i think it is impossible to modify the color; i tried adding textcolor: property but without effect; you must know this modification changes also others fonts....

2) for the text in shellstyle: Fonts, Colors & System Metrics >MENUFONT:FONT

here also a problem: at first you can change only the type of font (not the color i think ), and this change modifies others fonts of your VS, for example in context menu...

hope there is another methode to realize these modifications without all these problems

for the clock, try "timedate.cpl" in system32 folder

thank again,

i tried with GIMP

i get this result, it is not perfect, because I would have liked the space between the 2 buttons to be smaller

i'm rather satisfied

thank for helping

but i tried all modifications possible since 3-4 hours, i ddidn't succeed , i have almost the same result ; i succeeded to delete the black lign but now i have a transparent lign which continues to cut my button (left),

i looked in others browseui: yours, longhorn, lumen, cairo etc, but the problem appears only when i use my image (577/578/579/581.bmp)

I abandon.... Sad

This is my problem

i try to change the buttons of explorer, but i encounter a problem:
after modifications of my images in browseui file and restart, the black line between the buttons is present:

in other case, i get that:

the lign cuts my button

i know i must create an alpha layer in channel tab, but how must I fill it, what image must i change etc?
If someone succeed to correct this problem....

sorry for my english

for the text and its color, maybe, Lists, Menus & Tabs > ListView > GroupHeader (see HEADING1TEXTCOLOR ...)
for the lign (i don't sure) Lists, Menus & Tabs > ListView > GroupHeaderLine

in vista it's almost like that

1) for the black line: Toolbars, Headers and Rebar > Toolbars & Headers > Go Toolbar > Basic > Normal > Active > Button (i don't sure)
2) for refresh button, you must see in your browseui file

GetRGBColor is a useful software which allows to find the colors 'codes of any part of your interface (visual style for example) simply in the passage of mouse

In this screenshot, if I want to get the codes colors of explorer's background, in black-grey;

after, i insert the code obtained into the window colors of VSB, if i want to change a part of my visual style with this color:

Edit:
http://www.01net.com/telecharger/windows/Multimedia/creation_graphique/fiches/35124.html

i didn't have this problem, but maybe a bad modification in your visual style ...

try to launch "BcMapFixer.exe" (in visual style builder folder) and see if the problem continues

good man

With the Aero interface, the gray style is the best because simple, elegant, and sober

I use Vista, and it seems it depend of your shellstyle, for some taskdialog maybe

Toolbars, Headers and Rebar > Rebar > NavBar > Basic > Base > Band
add CONTENTMARGINS:MARGINS and try these numbers : 0, 0, -10, 15
(you must change "-10" and "15" ) Smiley

some examples:

1) More programs background: Start > StartMenu > Panels > Aero > Top > ProgramsList
2) for all progs background, you can use the stylehack created by UK.intel (startmenu -allprogs background color) in stylehacks list; apply it
to change colors:
color of text: Start > StartMenu > Menus > Aero > Hover:TreeView > TreeItem (normal)
Start > StartMenu > Menus > Aero > Hover:TreeView > TreeItem > Hot (hover)
background color: Start > StartMenu > Menus > Basic > Hover:TreeView

3) for scrollbar (vertical) Buttons, Boxes & Controls > Scroll Bars & Trackers > ScrollBar > ThumbButtonVertical

See here: Fonts, Colors & System Metrics > Fonts & System Metrics>BTNText:color

the next time, try to show us the problem with an image Wink

yes i searched, it is a few long:

1) at first download this 4 images: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?mitt2g0nemu
2) in Start > StartMenu > Panels > Aero > Top > ProgramsList =replace it by this file downloaded (program list image) with import option
3) Start > StartMenu > Panels > Aero > Top > PlacesList (same thing with placelist image)
4) Start > StartMenu > Panels > Aero > Top > NSCHost (with NSChost image)
5) Start > StartMenu > Panels > Aero > Top > SearchView (with searchview image)

6) after in Start > StartMenu > Panels > Aero > Top > ProgramsList: in sizingmargins, write: 13, 6, 13, 0
7) in Start > StartMenu > Panels > Aero > Top > PlacesList ,sinzingmargins write 0, 7, 7, 2
8 Start > StartMenu > Panels > Aero > Top > NSCHost, sizingsmargins, write: 13, 6, 13, 0
9) Start > StartMenu > Panels > Aero > Top > SearchView, sizingmargins, write: 13, 6, 13, 0

10 finally in Start > StartMenu > Panels > Basic > ProgramsList, contentmargins, write 9, 2, 11, 0
in Start > StartMenu > Panels > Basic > NSCHost,contentmargins write 11, 2, 11, 0
in Start > StartMenu > Panels > Basic > SearchView, contentmargins 9, 4, 11, 0

i have just created a little and useful stylehack to add a glow effet in start menu
try it if isn't already done

Donwload Link:

http://rajtheeban95.deviantart.com/art/Start-Menu-Text-in-Glow-129232258

for that you must see in your explorer file :C:\Windows\explorer.exe (i believe)
and Start > StartMenu > Panels > Basic > LogoffSplitButtonDownDown
