I don't understand. That is the old Details Pane. What effect? What do you want to do?

I don't use SIB or SAB but I see 2 border entries. This:



and Outer Border. You can manipulate the CONTENTMARGINS, add fillcolors and images etc.

That used to be

Taskbar & System Tray > Taskband > Aero > Taskband Extended UI > Horizontal > Thumbnails & Controls > Close Caption 

in 7 & 8 days. No idea where it is in SAB. I can't remember if it ever had a glyph image property.

1) Put the file in the StyleHacks folder in AveApps > Windows Style Builder

2) Click Import Stylehack and apply the file from the dropdown menu

3) If nothing or something bad happens then the file was made incorrectly

Try using the WSB attached here: https://www.vistastylebuilder.com/forum/index.php?topic=2535.msg14456#msg14456
 
Open and close the Show Controls window before testing. You only have to do this once per session.
 
Also be sure your theme files are patched.

Bad timing Dave.

It's actually Explorer & Shell > Shell > DatePicker

Just for fun I added an image to BackgroundWithBorder to see what would happen.

It showed up but only in the WSB search box:

I don't know how to add it to the Class Map. Sorry.

I don't know what else to tell you except good luck!

The WSB I use doesn't have Light Mode because everything that isn't Dark Mode is basically Light Mode.

There is no officially latest WSB.

You don't need to change the Class Maps:

In Search EditText has just a font property and value and the FilterText has just a textcolor property and value.

BackgroundWithBorder is already there like Address, Breadcrumb, & Search > Search > Edit > Basic > Normal > Active > BackgroundWithBorder for instance.

Just add and delete the properties and change the values.

We are talking about the old search box right? As far as I know the new search box isn't in msstyles and can't be changed with WSB.

I don't use Mica For Everyone or any of that stuff.

I use the WSB attached here just because it's fairly well organized and works ok:

https://www.vistastylebuilder.com/forum/index.php?topic=2535.msg14456#msg14456..

(This won't test unless you first open and close the Show Controls preview window when you first start it. I don't know why)

Default msstyle. Nothing unusual at all:

I just replaced the image at

Address, Breadcrumb, & Search > Search > SearchBox > Basic > Normal > Active > Background > Focused

with a transparent image.

Maybe you have some added complications going on or something. But that is all that I did.

I can use a transparent image for the focused search box and type without a black background just fine:



So I still don't understand

I don't understand any of this. Sorry.

Are you saying you want the search box to have a focused border when clicked like the address bar does?

Then just change the border color on the images at

Address, Breadcrumb, & Search > Search > SearchBox > Basic > Normal > Active > Background > Focused
Windows 10 Dark Mode > Address, Breadcrumb, & Search > Search > SearchBox > Basic > Normal > Active > Background > Focused

The menu hover color and textcolor are at

Explorer & Shell > Explorer > Items View > ListView > ListItem > Selected
Windows 10 Dark Mode > Explorer & Shell > Explorer > Items View > ListView > ListItem > Selected

I don't use SAB. I don't know anything about customizing the new command bar.

I don't remember. I'm on Windows 11 23H2 so I don't have those old menus anymore.

Show me a picture of what you want.

This?



For me it's Windows 10 Dark Mode > Explorer & Shell > Shell > PreviewPaneControl > CommonItemsDialog:Edit > Background
            Windows 10 Dark Mode > Explorer & Shell > Shell > PreviewPaneControl > DarkMode CommonItemsDialog:Edit > Background

In the second picture you show a theme file for War_Thunder2 which looks like it is made correctly. So just do the same for your own theme file.

All of that is in your .theme file which you can open with notepad or whatever.

If you have custom stuff then you have to include them in your theme folder and change the pathways in your theme file to go to them instead.

Like here's part of the default theme file for cursors, wallpaper etc.

You want to change those pathways to go to your custom stuff:

1) Use a smaller font at Taskbar & System Tray > System Tray > Basic > Clock > Time
2) Could be a browser thing or a light mode/dark mode conflict. I can't tell for sure.
   I'd start using the color replacer and do individual color changes until I found out what colors were being used and work from there

New Search can't be changed with WSB because it's no longer in the msstyle file

That's the way it was back in 2010.

Ask questions, with pictures, about what you are using right now.

Lists, Menus, & Tabs > Tab > Body

You mean all that ornamental stuff on the sides?

These are usually found in Windows & Caption Buttons > Aero > DWM Window > Frames > Window Shadows

Might be so here. If it is then be careful because those images will be on all window frames not just these.

Lists, Menus, & Tabs > Immersive Context Menu

Lists, Menus, & Tabs > Immersive Dark Context Menu

Like here when it used to be under Unknown:

https://www.vistastylebuilder.com/forum/index.php?topic=2287.0

I guess it could be

Buttons, Boxes, & Controls > Buttons > Navigation > BackButton
Windows 10 Dark Mode > Buttons, Boxes, & Controls > Buttons > Navigation > BackButton

No idea why it's not changing for you

Is this Buttons, Boxes, & Controls > Buttons > Button > RadioButton? Hard to tell from your picture.

It's just the WSB that I use.

There's no Light Mode in it because everything that isn't Dark Mode is basically Light Mode.

The textcolor?

Taskbar & System Tray > System Tray > Basic > Clock > Time > Normal, Hover & Pressed > TEXTCOLOR

If it's still possible using SIB/SAB.

All of it?

Most of it was in Taskbar & System Tray > System Tray > Basic.

I don't know how much of it you can still change using StartIsBack or StartAllBack. Probably not much.

Does anyone know where these separator lines in the new nav pane are located?



I can't find them in the msstyles

Explorer & Shell > Explorer > ReadingPane > Background or

Windows 10 Dark Mode > Explorer & Shell > Explorer > ReadingPane > Background

Try removing all the GLYPHIMAGE properties
