If you need it some day my friend I found how to fix that in dark mode

I increased content margins ( the 2 last values ) in basic>adressband>background for the image you are using.
It reduced height of adressbar when clicked and also width of the dropdown button ( curiously )

Thanks 3am for reply but doesn't work ( already tried that with a pink window color in fonts & system metrics )

I managed to zoom what I 'm trying to point out and can't remind if it is documented ( under w10 )



As you see , there is 2 zones in adressband I'm looking for the dark grey one ( set native dark mode )

I made some tries too with this theme https://www.deviantart.com/devillnside/art/Strata-X-821573692

Same , it seems whatever window color you pick there is something overriding at that location with a plain color but can't find it lol 

Hi

This is weird , I 'm not able to find again where to edit color or image background when we CLICK in adressband field to change color compared when not used lol

Thanks , I may need some rest cos I know how to change adressband background but not this tssss 

tyvm 3am

it was TryHarder location , my bad as I didn't see at first the stretched image ( 1x5 px )  which has a gradient white on top !

Have a nice day my friend !

Hi

I barely can't find this color any idea ?

Thanks !

Thank you very much !


yes dunno why this black part ( not window ) but happy with what you help ( gonna investigate more  for this )

Have a nice day mate 

Hi

Noticed some colors where I 'd like to set to my choice but where are those parts in wsb ?


Thank you !

I was planning that my friend

Have a nice time !

Hi 3am

Made few more try with width set to 0 but doesn't change compare to 1 pixel , the same but worth the mod reducing size to 1 .

However I have an important question about directUI and ui2bt:

your converted files are not the same size when I tried on my own ( mines are smaller size ) , using uib2t 1.03 and under windows build 19041 x64
Followed your steps ( exported as raw files then use uib2t

Is there something I missed or doing wrong ??
I ask because I was thinking if I tried myself with my converted files maybe I wouldn't have the same result when importing

I told you I'm not skilled with this UI lol
Thanks for clarify

yes my friend ^^ set it 2 pixels width to test with grey and 1 pixel white

See yourself gg 
Have a nice evening

[<Element background="sgraphic(31223, 4, -1, 0, 0, 1, 1)" layoutpos="client"/>]

Well nice find again , despite I'm not mastering as you ui2bin mostly when having to import edited data back in the UI sections lol

That said it surely match for 31222 & 31224 with sizes but I tried mess with 31223.png and whatever I do with is blanking the performance window tab .

I dunno what to think about this part about 31223 you highlighted with the values and for client "  :

<Element background="sgraphic(31223, 4, -1, 0, 0, 1, 1)" layoutpos="client"/>

3am my friend you are invaluable ..  

I was close to give up for that and made another try with your bet .
So 31222 is the upper part I colored blue and 31224 is the bottom part colored dark grey for testings.
I now have to find the middle part .
I surely screw at first when applying a transparent background or so . Plain color seem safe to not vanish this window.
That said , sounds crazy to use 3 parts for such single location lol



I will make some other tries with reduced width etc

good job !

oh yes

I'm considering when having time to mess with 31223 png . It's white and 8 x 1 pixels , maybe this is the one taskmanager uses and stretch as resizer .

Trying to reduce width .

EDIt: it's not fully white , it has the firt pixel light grey from left

well my advice for the moment is to leave as..


Had a blank  window with performance tab by changing for black 31220 & 31223 png .
No patient enough  now to isolate the culprit :/
But surely this seem to be the file to play with ( unless some direct UI to find may be more secure )

I already tried it with others in section but maybe get a new try otherwise it looks very close yes .
I tell you thanks

Hi

I just upgraded to windows 2004 and noticed this white part not skinned in TASK MANAGER ( performance tab )



Looked in listview / column details but doesn't seem to match :/

Any idea please ?

Thanks !

Hi

I was wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to increase context menus drop shadows using wsb ?

Native ones ( when check shadows under windows in system/ advanced settings / performance ) are very thin , and I'm looking for how to increase them . I tried with menus borders but no way and unlikely windows caption titlebar shadows for context menus



Thanks

[this may color some popup check marks too]

Thanks 3am as usual for trying

I finally found those if you may be interested for SOME third party apps ( like winaero etc ) :

- rectangle selection is : Fonts, Colors, & System Metrics > Fonts & System Metrics > Hightlight ( this may color some popup check marks too !  )

- Toolbar menu color is : Fonts, Colors, & System Metrics > Fonts & System Metrics > BTNFACE

Notices this one also draws a popup gutter the same color

Another interesting thing is the popup background remains black



Regards

Hi

Tried rebar and some toolbar locations in WSB but can't find those 2 locations on screen and also the menu toolbar COLOR for some third party context menus different from immersive or desktop .



Another example :



Thanks for help ( windows 10 1903 )

Well , if I understand right I have to rename exactly as " 40960.txt " , then replace the original resource ( in hex format ) with the txt file .

Gonna try it

Thanks 3am !

Here are steps I followed in order:

- export with restorator 40960 UI to raw file to use with ui2b2t ( as you specified in topic link )

- modified some parts in 40960uib2t.txt

- copy the content to replace the whole ocntent of existing 40960 UI part in explorerframe.dll.mun

Hi 3am

I managed to edit some UI files from raw format but when I add modded resource ( as readable duixml as screenshot ) , it doesn't seem to work.



If I'm right, you don't have to convert back modded content to raw format ?

As I said to 3am there was the place to edit in vsb . I made other test to be sure and it works fine on my comp .

For large start button I only had to change the same place I talked before. and refresh your explorer.exe when testing

Now I don't see how I could be clearer as I used your white pic for the same result on large icon. ....

You can also try with already made themes ( ie Mr Grim HUD evolution etc )

[96]

For some reason I don't understand I can change the Small Icons Start Button:



but not the large one.

Maybe somebody else can explain why this is happening

Hi 3am

on my rigs ( builds 1903 & 1909 )  , custom start button I can make it work like that:



with big size taskbar icons , I tested some and I only have to set the new pic here for your issue ( without edit other dpi )

TaskbarPearl > <2>Minimal dpi :96 ( true size/ vertical layout / imageselectype: dpi / bool transparent checked)

You may have to restart explorer.exe to see change

Hope it helps

Thanks , main tabs place was empty compared to sub sections so theme was skinning fine for tabs at some places but not all of them

I have no pb finding usual tabs ( property window etc ) but I'm stuck on these ones :/ when a window has tabs near center not top or left  or right position .



Thanks for any clue ^^

Thanks for link , works nice .

[ONLY with the clipboard app of windows 10 .]

Hi all


I have 2 problems :

1) First is How to modify values on 40960 UI file from Explorerframe.dll as it dysplays in binary values not as other like shell32 UI files using resource hacker. I tried several Hex editor without easy readibility ?



2) I searched a lot to find where is the close cross glyph ? It creates an overlay with captions buttons of some custom themes but ONLY with the clipboard app of windows 10 . Every other windows  doesn't seem to be affected .



Thanks !

Thanks once again 3am, with your detailed info I could fix it and now hovering color is working nice .

Regards

hm , Tried under windows 10 but no way to highlight 3d commandbar button when hovering text button :/

Thank you so much 3am !

The UI file mod did the trick, didn't see this was already posted I sometimes can't get acurate results whe nsearching through forum :/

Have a nice day 

Hi all

Is there anyway to find this location different from the shield icon on other places in config pane ( to edit color )  ? i checked in popupcheck but no change with the round dot.

Thanks !

Thank you 3am , that fixed it .

Hi all

First I thought it was a browser ( chrome ) issue but when switching some dark custom themes to default one , I realized the issue comes from them .

Looking for styles to find where Chrome uses background for some buttons ( login , yes or preview ones which dysplays as black squares like on WSB home page )




Thank you

Thanks 3am ! and happy new year 2020 

Hi all and happy new year !

Does anybody know where to change the line color at that place please ? looked at taskdialog styles and in shell but no way



Thanks

Paintshop pro

Yes I tried your color and found it wasn't a color issue

Thanks for reply , it was in Spin section , as I imported the one from another theme and solved the issue

Sorry 3am , I wasn't clear , thnaks for tip.

I was talking about background where appear value : it seems there are 2 layers simultaneously displayed ( blue square on the black one ) and this is unreadable till I mouse hover this part  , so I was thinking there is some background that shouldn't be displayed at teh same time when window popup. Value display correctly when hovering on the field to edit with up and down arrows.

If we look carefully, we can see a blue background and the black one at teh same time, so I 'm looking to fix that  but can't find in WSB where is this edit box with up and down arrows.

Is that part called " button spin " in wsb ?

Hi all

I got a serious issue at that location :



Every window with value to edit seems to show some kind of overlay ( where there is an up and down arrow ) and can't find where is the background to change to fix that :/

When mouse hovering on the location it displays correctly so I suspect I have to edit some normal state background

Help much appreciated

Thanks !!
