Was just wondering if you could copy the aero.msstyles file and do a small amount of changing to the theme and then
replace the file with the system turned off. If windows 10 would work with this file as a regular system file or stop working?
What do you folks that know about this think? Thanks, undine

From a theme that was used in Win 10, I show these settings in WSB....

EXPLORER
Explorer & Shell > Explorer > Items View > ItemsView > Fillcolor > 204,210,206
Explorer & Shell > Explorer > ProperTree > Background > Fillcolor > 210,220,210

My question is, are these settings changing registry keys and if so which keys?

Thanks for any help. undine

Could anyone help me with the tree and list fonts in windows explorer in Win 10?
Thanks for any help. undine

Thanks very much 3am. I'll make a new win 7 theme. Without you and Panda I don't
know what we would do. Best wishes, undine.

What I mean is, can I take a theme which was made for win 8 (on a win 8 computer) and copy this folder and file over to
the win 7 resources folder and have it work OK ?

I just finished a new win 8 theme and was wondering if it might work on my win 7 computer. The theme is very basic (not too many changes). The win 7 computer is using another theme I made some time ago. I saw the topic on going the other way. Keep up the good work.

Thanks again. I don't think I would have ever found that.

I'm trying to change the color of the (- , SQ. , and X ) at the top-right of the windows.
I don't know if these are called "Text" or something else. I don't need the background color
but the text color. Thanks again. undine

That was almost it. I failed to say my taskbar was vertical. So I found the same thing under the
vertical part. Thanks for all your work and help Panda X.

I'm trying to find the route to the fill color in the boarder around the small window that
pops up when you hover over a program in the taskbar. Thanks for any help.

That worked. Thanks again. Undine

Thank you. I'll look into that. Best wishes, undine.

Does anyone know how to disable transparency in the taskbar in an Aero theme?

Thanks All, I'm going to start over and try to figure out whats wrong. Undine

Thanks for the quick reply 3am. I had the same route as you gave. I have changed several other backgrounds that work OK
,but the file explorer BG will not change from bright white. It shows grey in the block in WSB, but when I save it and copy the new files in
themes folder it makes no change. I've tried re-booting, but no change. Thanks for your help.

I have downloaded the latest ver. of WSB and have been working on a new theme. I have gone more or less from my notes on win 7 styles.
Some of these same locations seem right for Win 8, but I can't get the file explorer backgrond color to change. I have searched this forum but don't
find anything. This sys. is Win 8 64 bit. Any help would be appreciated. THANKS, Undine.

THANKS for the reply. I'll stop looking. undine.

Could anyone give help with the background colors of the white ares shown in these images? Even the names of these areas might help. Thanks , undine.

I found the location of both as... Buttons, Boxes & Controls > Boxes > Edit > Basic > Background

I am trying to find the locations of the background colors of these areas. One is the address bar in XNview which is showing the text of ...D:\Portable_Apps..etc The other is the bars or windows in MP3 Direct Cut showing the text ..."Total"  and ..."Part" etc. Thanks for any help., Undine.

THANKS again 3am,
I tried things for two hours before I decided to ask someone. You saved me again. THANKS, Undine.

I've had no luck finding the place to select the background color for the TITLE BAR (top most area )for firefox or other apps. THANKS for any help.

OK, 3am, THANKS for all your help to me and others. CU, Undine.

3am, Thanks for the info. Just one more question, if I were to change the system32.dll as needed, would this change be transported along in a .themepack file so as to be seen on another computer ? Have a great day. Undine.

THANKS very much , 3am ,
I see why I could not find it. I don't know if I want to try this change or not.What does it take to open a .dll file? Thank you for your quick reply. Best wishes , Undine.

Can anyone tell me the route to the background color of the area toward the top of the control panel which contains " Adjust Your Computer's Settings " ? THANKS , Undine.

3am, You are the GREATEST,  When I saw the image I said " no way ". But after changing the white crosses to a light grey, it worked great. THANKS for helping us novices. Best Wishes, Undine.

I might be using the wrong term with " address bar and search bar ". I am referring to the area where the info is entered. Thanks , Undine 

Would anyone know where to find the WSB settings for the background colors for Firefox address bar and search bar? This is for an Aero theme. Thanks for any help.

That was it,3am.    Best wishes, Undine.

THANKS 3am, I'll give this a try. BCNU , Undine

I don't know what to call this window so I am having trouble finding it. In windows explorer, when you right click on a folder and click on "Properties" this opens another window which shows the properties. I am trying to change the background color of this new window. Can anyone help? THANKS
