Help / Windows Vista / Re: Reduce space on top of Start Menu
|
on: November 23, 2008, 11:43:12 am
|
Okay, I disabled User Pic and chose the 34px border on the top stylehack to get it working. It decreased the space on the right. Any ideas how to shrink these two spaces? 1. perchaps you have to change the content margins of Poglist on basic, set them forexample from 9, 2, 11, 0 to 9, 2, 3, 0 . 2. i have not done the experiment to use as a true size image the places list. Anyway, the vertical distance is changing otherwise when you do right clik to your takbar, properties, start menu, customize, number of recent progrms to display ---> if you choose a small number, vertical area 2 would be smaller. --------------------

B y default, Vista uses the black text color even under highlight in the toolbar/menubar, which isn't bad but it isn't consistent with the rest of Vista's menu's and isn't the best choice for optimum contrast and visibility.
This was something that bugged me and I had trouble finding it as I assumed it was in the 'Fonts, Colors, & System Metrics' section, but today I found it! It is modifiable under "Toolbars, Headers and Rebar > Toolbars & Headers > Toolbar > <default>". Change the "HOT" and "PRESSED" TEXTCOLOR:COLOR property to white or your desired highlighted text color.
Here is the result (FYI, I modified the overlay color in the preview):thank you sweatyfish for reply and post link, thank you psygn for your search and finding, thank you Spitzen for your kindness. -------------

Hi, does anybody know how I can change the menu background color in VSB? I mean the red marked path of the following screenshot: 1.for applications, like photoshop [active and inactive image] , List, menu, Tabs > menu > bar background also on List, menu, Tabs > menu > bar item is the button that is using when mouse over, pressed etc also you can change the text color for mouse over , pressed etc 2. for explorer windows, you can find it on : toolbars headers and rebar > Rebar > Rebar and on : toolbars headers and rebar > Rebar > Default > background there are also other 2 menu background images on toolbars headers and rebar [ toolbars headers and rebar > Rebar > browser tabbar , toolbars headers and rebar > Rebar >Nav bar> basic > base > Non top most > background ]. also : Explorer & Shell > Explorer > Explorer Bar > Rebar > Background ------------------------- TO AVE and to Panda x : please is there a way possible [any chance] to add different mouse over text color on explorer = i mean on elements exist on toolbars headers and rebar section ( for example : toolbars headers and rebar > Rebar > Rebar and on toolbars headers and rebar > Rebar > Default > background ) or a button image ? [on 1. applications as i have written it is possible but on explorer section ?] ----

hey guys, I'm having some problems with the start menu. I have 3 questions.
1. Why I get that white background in the All Program image? The image doesn't have white. 2. Can we change the logoff buttons? 3. It is possible to change the text color of search bar? If I want to do the search bar black can I change the text color to white? 1. change the Start > Start Menu > Panels > Basic > More ProgramsTAB , make the white areas of the image black, and do your designs for hot etc on each of your positions there also add a propertie, for example ON NORMAL add color : textcolor and then chose lets say white, same add propertie of textcolor : color on hot etc 2. microsoft had decide on vista to make our life difficult, so even if there are logoff buttons on the mstyle, in action, those are in use from the system are on the explorer , so you must modify explorer [C:\Windows\Explorer] 3. Yes it is, [i have found this for you, as because to my visual styles, i have done this via hex editing a long time ago, so those i found here are elements concentrated from PandaX http://http://www.vistastylebuilder.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=8Search Bar Active Text Colour [Aero] || Address, Breadcrumb & Search > Search > Edit > Aero > Normal > Active (TEXTCOLOR:COLOR) Search Bar Inactive Text Colour [Aero] || Address, Breadcrumb & Search > Search > Edit > Aero > Normal > InActive (TEXTCOLOR:COLOR) Search Bar Max Active Text Colour [Aero] || Address, Breadcrumb & Search > Search > Edit > Aero > Max > Active (TEXTCOLOR:COLOR) Search Bar Max Inactive Text Colour [Aero] || Address, Breadcrumb & Search > Search > Edit > Aero > Max > InActive (TEXTCOLOR:COLOR) Search Bar Active Text Colour [Basic] || Address, Breadcrumb & Search > Search > Edit > Basic > Normal > Active (TEXTCOLOR:COLOR) Search Bar Inactive Text Colour [Basic] || Address, Breadcrumb & Search > Search > Edit > Basic > Normal > InActive (TEXTCOLOR:COLOR) Search Bar Max Active Text Colour [Basic] || Address, Breadcrumb & Search > Search > Edit > Basic > Max > Active (TEXTCOLOR:COLOR) Search Bar Max Inactive Text Colour [Basic]|| Address, Breadcrumb & Search > Search > Edit > Basic > Max > Active (TEXTCOLOR:COLOR) -------------- when i post, i have not seen that invaderjohn had already answered. ----------------------- see my gallery http://http://zeusosx.deviantart.com/my site http://http://windowsedge.com/Zeus/

How can i change the start menu margins? I used the style hacks but i can make the left side bigger ether the right side of the start menu.
I want to make my start menu size like Windows 7 size.
See this image How much pixels is Windows 7 start menu left /right size ? [ as i dont like much the form / sizes of aero microsoft use , i dont know much about it], anyway i made a quiq modification for you, though must changed also othr parameters likw the search of start menu etc this is just an example that you can do it via hex editing.[so i made this visual style as an example with hex editing , for see how this parameters changed to ista style builder] On vista style builder go to Start > Panels > Basic > Prog list > and change the parameter DEFAULTPANESIZE : Rect from 0, 0, 261, 383 to a value you like . also change all other elements exist to the Basic section and have on their DEFAULTPANESIZE : Rect the third value --,--261,-- as 261 , so chane that to all with that you want. ?? ?????????? ??? ???????????? ? microsoft , ??? ????? ??? ????????????? ???, ?????? ????????? ?? ??? ????? ??? ???? ?? ????? ??????? ????? ????????????????.

no it doesn't work.. ive already tried it since vista uses blur on all aero transparent parts (which i also don't want ><) so if i make that bars transparent they just become blurry. ive seen a cupple of themes where ppl do that but it doesn't look that good.
also.. is there any way to make the close button to use a smaller caption size? so that u can make the minimize and maximize buttons closer to the right? not in aero [not possible having closer and having smaller distance between the close, minimize and maximize buttons, since now, as it is hard coded.must be found the code condition first.then it would be possible ] u can do 2 different things for the size blur when deleting size images.[for aero only this] 1. in the place where you had the pixels of the image you could add gray/black shadow, like that exist around the normal aero microsoft style[i have done this eperiment and i lent it and you see it on patrickgs transformation pack vista osx 09 visual style i constructed] or 2. the method i usually use on my visual styles [on those that having noborder size] is leaving the blur on sides exist, but i change the values on : right clik to your desktop, select Personalise. then select first (1) choice 'Window Color and Appearance'. Select enable transparency. then select on 'color intencity' slider button to the start (full to the left), so there will be with no color as possible. then select 'SHOW COLOR MIXER' , select second (2) slider 'saturation' button ( full to the left), so there will be with no color as possible. select the third (3) slider button 'Brightness' (near the middle, or between midle and right, depending from the color of the background wallpaper you use it) so there will be invisible as possible the borders of the windows of the current ' no border style' visual style. then i use freeware program YzShadow http://http://www.osx-e.com/downloads/utilities/yzshadow.html .(my oppinion for working correct is to use it on vista as compatible with windows xp, via right click on YzShadow properties/copatibilities/ run this program in compatibiity mode, select windows xp), for having shadows on sides and bottom, set the right settings and it will work nice. ------------ see my gallery http://http://zeusosx.deviantart.com/gallery/

Thank you very much, I didn't know it is an image color. But the other thing you've written is very interesting, too. Btw. It looks like you've changed the alignment of the window title bar to center, is it right? i have done much of this, before 1 year. i have started analysing vista mstyle from November 2006 with vista rc1 then with rtm, on November 2007 i have realeased my first osx style work for vista [you can see on my gallery how started this and how the progress on code and designing had come. so via hex editing i have changed also window title bar to center, but only to the basic theme as aero is more stronged hard coded. also to my gallery i have realeased some things working with code http://http://zeusosx.deviantart.com/gallery/ , here a special aero style shellstyle.dll http://http://www.vistastylebuilder.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=20 for working and giving benefit to vista style builder. ------------------------ My new work is my last and final on vista, so in 1 or at least 2 months will realeased. I have made about 30 experiments, but there ready about 2 compact color aero versions , and 1 transparent, and a second one transparent with shorter on pixel edges will become if i find time and my eys help me. Its the only visual style that since now could have vertical separator bigger than 5 pixels, via changed code, also there is no expandosizerline on navigation pane with changed code i made http://http://zeusosx.deviantart.com/art/eliminating-ExpandoSizerline-98110684 , having internal borders adding code http://http://zeusosx.deviantart.com/art/Creating-internal-borders-89679660 etc etc I do not allow any modifications of my work.

Thanx But actually we still dont know were teh red area ("linkfavoriten") is. Nor how we change it... does anybody know that? open Shellstyle.dll\UIFILE\1.txt with resoursehacker, search for <if id="atom(ProperTreeLinksHeader)"> and change the parameters, foreground [= color text], background =that you ask. also : You can adjust margins and insert a bmp into the shellstyle.dll For example background="themeable(ARGB(255, 252, 252, 252), window)" Change to background="resbmp(123,0,1,0,0,0,0)" ---------------------- explanation of resbmp on shellstyle.dll [ resbmp(a,b,c,d,e,f,g) a = bitmap resource b = stretching (1=normal, 3=tile, 6=stretch, 7=32 bit bitmap) c = transparent color of bitmap not drawn (#rrggbb rr=red, gg=green and bb=blue e.g. #FF00FF= violet) d = width of bitmap (used when f=0) e = height of bitmap (used when f=0) f = sizing (0 = use dimensions defined in d and e or 1 = use bitmap dimensions) g = mirror (0 = normal and 1 = mirror) ] ------------ see my ZEUSosX gallery [also some code solutions included http://http://zeusosx.deviantart.com/gallery/ ]

UPDATE: It is actually only partially resolved. hehe Anyway as you can see in the screenshot that part of the window in the foreground's caption bar is cut off. Most windows are fine, and display like the window in the background, but some are cutoff like the window in the foreground. Can anyone explain why this is happening? Maybe idas? i have never work serious to the microsoft mess. see now , for u you can do this : how much pixels are cuttig? what kind of border width u use? 4 or what? does this problem u have appears if u change border width to 1 or to 5 or to whatever? [borderwidth changes from: Fonts,colors and systemmetrics > Fonts and systemmetrics > PaddedBorderWidth : Sizeso after do all these experiments for finding in which border size dont cut pixels or cut the less for them, you can do this: if still cut, measure how much pixls and then make your titlebar[active and inactive] those pixels higher[remebr dont resize any titlebar height image if u are not sure what u are doing, just change/design the internal height of the active and inactive images included]. if then there no symmetry, change aGAIN PaddedBorderWidth, unless u find the right for u. --------- (also if nosolution after doing all this, you can resize height of Close button image windows and caption butons > basic > closebutton , leaving the internal size of each position as is and add 1 or more empty pixels border height fro up or down or symmetrical , also dont forget to add new bigger sizing margins values) -----------

Well I just tried this and all it did was make the captionbar completely black. Plus I am not making an aero style its a basic style like slanxp. JUST go to Windows and Caption butons > Basic > Caption extract the image, then dont resize its dimention of height, just design the internal images to be shorter, about 22 pixels height each [there are 2 images , 1 active and 1 inactive], then replace the image , and then change the sizing margins for example from : 28, 35, 9, 17 to : 28, 35, 17, 9 . see on screenshot a very quiq modification i did for window basic, see the buttons[i have also modified the images of the buttons, on Windows and Caption butons > Basic]. ---------------------

It isn't a major repositioning but it still is repositioned. It's his Vista Basic visual style and as you can see the buttons are on the top instead of in the middle. I've never figured out how to do this... If you know how though please tell me. [image] what i see here is a titlebar of 22pixels i height and not 29 of aero, that means the upper edge of the titlebar is near the midle buttons of basic , [i have done the same to one of my experiments trying to make a transparent version for aero basic theme]. so its not mooved the buttons, just the titlebar is shorter.. Well I just tried this and all it did was make the captionbar completely black. Plus I am not making an aero style its a basic style like slanxp. ofcource suggestions are given for Basic: so select Start a new Viual Style > go to Windows and caption buttons > BASIC > CAPTION ------------> EXPORT your image and modified it to be smaller[not change its image size, just design a smaller size, onthe same image size, there are 2 images inside 1 for active and 1 for inactive, make them similar in size, then go to Windows and caption buttons > BASIC > CAPTION ---> sizing margins and change its value (the 3rd value gives the unstreched pixels from the top, so change in a way that will give u unstreched pixels , forexample if your previous values was 28, 35, 9, 17 make them 28, 35, 17, 9 or whatever gives u best result ) ----------------------------------------

nice idea with the special shellstyle.dll
im searching for a possibility to add shadow to the title & metadata in shellstyle below the Folderband..
i found out, that you can change the glow density by adding property INT:Glowintensity(value 0-1000) this is true INT : Glowintensity to Glow text gives control . thank you moinmoin.----------------------------- a value of TEXTGLOWSIZE : INT = 8 and a value of Glowintensity : INT = 200 gives a nice effect, if you like glow effect, thou anyone can experiment to give a personal value. ---------------------------- so adding Glowintensity we have : Explorer and Shell > explorer > listview > ------------> add properties FONT:FONT [SELECT THE FONT AND FONTSIZE YOU WANT] COMPOSITED:BOOL (SELECT IT), TEXTGLOW:BOOL (SELECT IT), TEXTGLOWSIZE:INT [ USE A NUMBER BIGGER THAN 0], GLOWCOLOR:COLOR [SELECT THE COLOR U LIKE] and final, Glowintensity : INT [ USE A VALUE 0-1000 THAT MAKES BEST CONTRAST BETWEEN THE IMAGE YOU USE AND THE GLOW COLOR YOU USE] THEN adding properties : Explorer and Shell > explorer > listview > LISITEM ---------> IMAGECOUNT:INT [I HAVE SETTED 6, AS I USE AN IMAGE HAVING 6 VERTICAL POSITIONS EACH FOR ANY POSITION, first for norml, second for hot etc] IMAGEFILE:IMAGE (INSERTING THE IMAGE) SIZINGMARGINS:MARGINS [FOREXAMPLE 4, 4, 4, 4] CONTENTMARGINS:MARGINS [FOREXAMPLE 4, 4, 4, 4] BGTYPE:ENUM > IMAGEFILESIZINGTYPE:ENUM STRECHIMAGELAYOUT:ENUM VERTICALTHEN REMOVE, as i have described, all properties included on NORMAL, HOT , SELECTED, DISABLED, SELECTED NOT FOCUS, and HOTSELECTED. of Explorer and Shell > explorer > listview > LISITEM then go to List,menu and Tabs > LISTVIEW > GROOPHEADER and add propertie TEXTGLOWSIZE:INT = 0 because the previous modification on Explorer and Shell > explorer > listview > affects also to List,menu and Tabs > LISTVIEW > GROOPHEADER text color, so for not affect we add a propertie of 0 text glow size. [see ''local disc'' glow text title on screenshot picture, GLOWINTENCITY propertie added] ----------------------------- But as i preffer the original text colors without glow effects, so i would preffer finding a solution having white text color on host and host selected. (=mouse over and mouse prssed positions) [ on microsoft Windows clasic we do have white text when mouse over]. so we have to look for, if possible. ----------------------------

ok. thanks Pandax. i have found [today] how to give text glow to the black text, thou not diffeent text color for each position[hot, or hotselected], and not shadowtext enable[perchaps i have done something wrong on this, or not be possible]. also i dont know how to add more density to the glow, forexample if i use textglow:int = 6 ,[and glowcolor white] i dont know how to do this glow effect more compact, if i change the value of this , for example if i use textglow:int = 2 that does not give me solution , because it ''changes'' the glow's ''shape'', what i meAN is that [if there is noother solution] i want textglow:int = 6 (for example) ''glow circular shape'' be more white overall. Also when i use folders on a window, not as icons, but as ''details'' glow text proprtie is not applied to all the words[just only to the word of the name of the folder, not to the date modified, Type etc categories. see on word Shell of the current folder on image the glow arround it. ------------------------------------------ FOR HAVING GLOW ON OUR TEXT adding properties : Explorer and Shell > explorer > listview > ------------> add properties COMPOSITED:BOOL (SELECT IT), TEXTGLOW:BOOL (SELECT IT), TEXTGLOWSIZE:INT [ USE A NUMBER BIGGER THAN 0], GLOWCOLOR:COLOR [SELECT THE COLOR U LIKE] THEN adding properties : Explorer and Shell > explorer > listview > LISITEM ---------> IMAGECOUNT:INT [I HAVE SETTED 6, AS I USE AN IMAGE HAVING 6 VERTICAL POSITIONS EACH FOR ANY POSITION, first for norml, second for hot etc] IMAGEFILE:IMAGE (INSERTING THE IMAGE) SIZINGMARGINS:MARGINS [FOREXAMPLE 4, 4, 4, 4] CONTENTMARGINS:MARGINS [FOREXAMPLE 4, 4, 4, 4] BGTYPE:ENUM > IMAGEFILE SIZINGTYPE:ENUM STRECH IMAGELAYOUT:ENUM VERTICAL THEN REMOVE all properties included on NORMAL, HOT , SELECTED, DISABLED, SELECTED NOT FOCUS, and HOTSELECTED. of Explorer and Shell > explorer > listview > LISITEM then go to List,menu and Tabs > LISTVIEW > GROOPHEADER and add propertie TEXTGLOWSIZE:INT = 0 because the previous modification on Explorer and Shell > explorer > listview > affects also to List,menu and Tabs > LISTVIEW > GROOPHEADER text color, so for not affect we add a propertie of 0 text glow size. ------------------------------------- thou adding glow on the text is not my style[i dont use as i dont like it]. i would preffer finding a solution having white text color on host and host selected.

i have made a modified version of aero style shellstyle.dll for VSB, that make the system taking the text color of a folder on the main window area[normal,hot, selected, disabled, selectednotfocus, hotselected] that exist on VistaStyleBuilder on Explorer and Shell > Explorer > ListView >List Item nomore dependent from the shellstyle.dll but taking its propertie from the mstyle ! from Fonts, Colors and System Metrics > Fonts and System Metrics > WINDOWTEXT : COLOR so now we can have these kind of modification thou it gives the same text color for normal, hot, selected, disabled, selectednotfocus, hotselected , the benefit is only that textcolor is given now from the msstyle [ from the parameter of WINDOWTEXT : COLOR ] so i need help frm Ave or ANYONE if there will be any adding on code on msstyle so for having enabled the highlight text color for hot and hotselected or anyother solution could be found.
---------------------------
aLSO i have noticed that on Ave's FolderBackground application we can select [and have via right clik to the main white window aerea folders] having white text with black shadow, is there a way in the mstyle to do that to Explorer and Shell > Explorer > ListView >List Item ? if we could not can we make enable having black as the main text color and white shadow arround it ? -----
