Where do i find the images for the details pan and the explorer bar, the one that goes under the Explorer+Shell>Explorer>CommandModule>1. I can only change the glass cover over that area.

in original Vista Theme it's an ARGB Gradient in UI.txt in shellstyle.dll, not an image

There are a lot Shellstyles around that put an BMP in this area
(the problem is, that it blows up the filesize of the shellstyle (i've seen shellstyles with 6MB Filesize Huh?)
But you can also place an opaque image in CommandModule and Previewpane/1/1
(7 UI does it this way)  so the gradient ist overlayed with your desired image.

in my last firedance VS i've linked it  (in the shellstyle) to a new image section in the MSStyle, so the background image can be set in the msstyle and the shinelayer is still possible.

how this works, is described here http://vistastylebuilder.com/forum/index.php?topic=215.0

i'm thinking about a tutorial for this special topic..
