Hi, here's my story :

-I downloaded the latest release : WSB 155

-I opened up my active msstyle & changed INFOBK & INFOTEXT to fix my caption tooltips

-I saved ("apply aero" // "use saved theme")

-then dmw crashed, and all windows that i tried to open (right desktop clik>personalize, configuration panel, explorer) are with nothing inside, only the -classic- frame.

-Then when I tried to rollback, on the parameters that I had changed, to stop the festival, WSB didn't allow me to "open an existing theme" or to save it : SHIIIIT !!

please help!

thx in advance

Are you using Resource Spy or custom dlls? WSB still applies themes the same way, which is also the same way as the control panel. If you applied Aero then it's not your theme that's causing the errors.

Have you restarted explorer/windows?

I'm using resource spy, but not anymore with aero right now...

I've hard-charged some dll yes, like explorerframe. I don't know if there also can be a pb with shellstyle... I'm totally knocked out with what's happening to me.

Jus wanted to change two values. No backup (fuck me!)

And now I'm like a 9 years old kid in front of a fully infected OS lol

I want to cry

Everything was working right before you made just those two changes in the msstyles?

Either attach or pm me your msstyles and I'll see what happens when I use it

It looks like DWMWindow class became severely messed up, not entirely sure how as I've replaced that class with the default and it works fine.

The one I attached below should work ok, though any changes you made to DWMWindow will be undone.

Yea thanks for having spotted this issue, but :

I've copy pasted it in my ressource folder (after having renamed the extension of the corrupted one) then I lauched the theme that activates it : it has worked fine until :

I turned on the replacer, then the next window I opened has shown nothing in it : completely white : (

So :
-turned of the replacer : open another window nothing change
-killed explorer
-killed dmw

-relaunched explorer : still the same !
-...
-restart computer : still the same : white windows

I didn't even opened it in WSB !!!

$***t !!! whats wrong with me !!

edit : I now can open things, including in WSB : the browse windows popups (but lot of stuff missing : right panel, topview...)  Huh?



edit 2 : almost self explanatory bonus pictures :



After having broken my ass for nights during years on this baby, I thing I've not finished to sware on myself for not having done a f**** backup before doing $*****!

Good night !

EDIT later : ok, I see in WSB that all the <shellstyle> section had been droped out... it could explain a few things

The issue is coming from either your theme's shellstyle.dll or some mod you're using in Resource Spy. Are you using a custom Shellstyle.dll? If so can you send it to me?

ok I put it down here, I think it's the "base ready" one.
that's the folder in the same dir that the .msstyle
not the same as the "test mode" one, if I have correctly understood, which is in the %temp% dir ...

thx

If we manage to rescue it, I promise I'll release it, with the windowframe, and all the solid .dll replacements x86 & x64 properly organised and ready to use !!!

I used the Base shell and explorer died. Replaced it in your theme folder with a default shell everything's fine:



So use a default shellstyle and make whatever changes you made in Base there instead. And clean up your DWM

Converted back to Base. Attached.

Let me know if there's still issues I'm not entirely convinced that exporting to Stylehack works as it should.
