I am in the same situation as a lot here, paid for the app, want to install it again, still have the email links and registration info, can't access the web site, cant download from the links and can't get any support or responses to my emails about this.

Very unprofessional and frustrating.


BUMP................

Way to much information for me to digest in one read  wtf ?

 Have a look here

 http://vistastylebuilder.com/forum/index.php?topic=502.0

Start menu before and after a search query

 - Would anyone know what image that line between the search box and the shut down buttons in the after search query is  ?

 - Also in the after search query shot, the image or color immediately around the shut down button is different to the before  search window , anyone know how I could change that ?

 - The same image is also indented about one pixel

    Thanks for any help ..........

In case anyone else is reading this post, what happened in my case at least, is that Windows expects 32bit .bmp images in the images you replace for the control panel and almost anywhere else for that matter. It seems not all editing programs can save your images as 32bit in the programs default format, that is.

So in my case I simply found a plugin for Paint.net which enabled it to save my .bmp images in 32bit. As a result you may not need to install an entire new editing program.

Sizing margins where all wrong thank you anyway 

Thanks Panda X

I've edited the images in those two locations in both aero and basic with a solid color but I still get that clear looking frame showing up.

I have these values in place maybe thats the error ? If anyone could help I won't have to get agro and run around with one leg in the air.

Yep same here 

UPDATE [no pun intended] 

The backgrounds for the system clock fly outs ARE in the timedate.cpl file. There are 12 .png images in there and I edited only the clock face ones ie. 6 only and all is nice.

Anyone know how to change the frame around the start menu's search results window and how to change the "See more results" window ? Man this is like hard work   .......  you know ? hahah   

Haha  it probably is in the .cpl  I think I've just done something wrong,  if I figure it out I'll post back here,thanks for trying to help 3am :-)

Not so sure if I edited them correctly or not    I found 12 images in total in there 6 of those where clock faces I made new images of matching sizes for each of the clock face ones then filled those with the background color I wanted. Then merged the two into one image and saved them in the .cpl.

I thought it worked ok because the changes are there in the other two windows I mentioned.

Thanks 3am 

Been through there with a fine tooth comb thanks to your post by the way. It's got something to do with timedate.cpl, like the date and time window is perfect so is the date and time settings window when I access them through the control panel. It's when I access the calendar from the taskbar that the clock background is still unchanged it's still white behind the clock itself.

So I don't know  . sruggs   

Can't figure this out if any could help please ?

I found info here on the forum http://vistastylebuilder.com/forum/index.php?topic=629.0 about changing the background color of the clock with thanks to 3am and Spitzen.

So I color filled where needed and got the results. Then from this http://vistastylebuilder.com/forum/index.php?topic=502.0 post and an entry from rajtheeban I edited the timedate.cpl but it seems only to have worked in Time and Date window and not in the Calendar window.

These are the two images so you know what I'm on about.

Time/Date :   http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/6471/datetime.jpg

Calendar :  http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/4341/calendarp.jpg  So if anyone knows what I'm doing wrong ... thanks

OK it's all good thank you

Hi,

If i installed v 1.5.0.3 properly would it show in the about info as 1.5.0.3 ?    for now it still shows as 1.5.0.0

Thanks

OK thanks

OK thanks for the heads up   

Hi,

I've managed to find where to change the font color for most of the control panel fonts
but still can't locate the "view by" one shown here ?

If anyone knows if, and if so how, to control the icons that show in the status bar ?

Thanks guys.

Did anyone figure how to change the clocks white background yet ?

Because I created a new size-matched image for each of the clock images in the timedate.cpl, filled the new images with the  color I wanted as the background then merged the original image layer with the newly created ones and replaced them but the end result is no change in the msstyle.

If anyone could clue me in on this would be much appreciated  ..... cheers.

 Thank you again, worked out perfect

 Thanks again Spitzen , Just a couple more things I cant find if anyone could help would be great.

 It's the selected tab I'm asking about in the image.

 Thanks guys.

 Thanks Spitzen , the doc strikes again   

 Hi ,

 Hoping for some help on a couple of things with the start menu please.

 I didn't read that one to well , sorry drakkar1969

 I'm sure I changed the font at : Address, Breadcrumb & Search > Search > Edit > Basic > Normal > Active > EditText

 
 No problem

 I did as you suggested in this post earlier on I set the TEXTITALIC property to false at Buttons, Boxes & Controls > Boxes > Edit > Basic > EditText > CueBanner

 Dosn't seem to have affected other search boxes  ... so thanks for your help 

I enjoy a bit of research as much as the next guy ...  but what a blessed relief this is !!   

Great addition, thank you guys.

 Spitzen , thanks a lot for the info I take one look at your  vs / themes / design work and I know you know a lot , appreciate
 the help.
 So looks as though I need to attack the shell32.dll to change the CP navigation and fly-out panes ? or can they be color filled ?

 Hi koumy for the CP icons I just used IconPackager.

 
 Thanks sunbeam2000

 It's coming on nice, I found the color fill for the larger bottom section but having a hard time finding the rest 

 will keep looking.

 Hoping to get some help with the image and text in this if possible ?

 My questions are in the Black colored text.

 Thank you.

 
 @  drakkar1969

       Thanks for the info     I managed to work most of it out since I posted, but thanks to you the search bar italics are no longer.
   
       I havn't seen any adverse affects as a result the text change.

       The font in the screen shot is Calibri Bold Caps, I will try and attach it here for you.

       Really appreciate the info.   ...........  Cheers

 
 @ chod           Thanks a lot

 @ AlbinoAsian  Yes I hope it turns out ok it's not my original work though I'm just trying to mod it for personal use the original on DA is called Q4
                      under vista visual styles here's my desktop shot of it before this modding I'm trying if your interested.  http://expressit.deviantart.com/art/Q4-Explorer-Update-138550597

 @ sunbeam2000  Hey thanks for that info good to know.

                       Yep so thanks so much guys I have linked to 4 more images with questions written on them if any can help it would great. The desktop right click image might be a little hard to see what's written, basically I want to know how to make it one color even when moused over.

                       With the start menu all programs background color I tried the style hack as directed in W7SB 1.4.0.0 but I think it might be for Vista not sure, but I had no luck with it.
