Title: Where to start? Post by: Kukag on October 15, 2009, 12:38:27 am Hey everyone, so I just purchased VSB yesterday and I would love to start working on my own custom theme, but I'm having trouble figuring out where to start =P
Also when editing an image, do i save it as a .tmp.png file then will it automatically upload itself or do i need to upload it manually? Anyway so if someone could tell me what files I need to change to change the following........... 1. Pinned Startmenu Screen background ( white area ) 2. Mouseover link on the right ( George ) 3. Jumplist Arrow 4. Opened Program Highlight 5. Taskbar 6. Expand Notification Area Arrow 7. Shortcut Arrow Box (http://www.sevenforums.com/attachments/customization/31297d1255412740-aero-msstyle-image-s-codes.png) 8. Back And Forward Buttons 9. Organize, System Properties, etc Text Font / Color 10. Opened Folder Highlight 11. Sections Header Font / Color 12. Drive Outline Color 13. Detail Pane Bg Color 14. Organize, System Properties, etc Bg Color 15. Those Icons 16. Min / Max / Close, Buttons / BG's (http://www.sevenforums.com/attachments/customization/31298d1255412740-aero-msstyle-image-s-codes2.png) Thanks a bunch for all your help, its very appreciated!

i know its a bit daunting to tackle this on you own, so some suggestion (instead of telling you where everything is) 1.have a look around some of the things your looking for you will find in a matter of minutes, 2. if not i suggest you this (http://ukintel.deviantart.com/art/Vista-msstyle-Resource-Finder-61020262) to help you out a little 3. with regards to changing the image, i always export->edit->import, but thats mainly because im used to it that way. Good Luck. :) Title: Re: Where to start? Post by: Kukag on October 15, 2009, 04:55:30 am Dang this is terrifying lol, I'd imagine someone would have of written a guide already of where everything was you know. hmm alright well thanks for that info I appreciate it, as far as the deviant art link, I'm not really sure how I'm supposed to use that with VSB =P
But I appreciate it anyways lol Thanks, Kukag Any more help is appreciated!!!! Title: Re: Where to start? Post by: relo on October 15, 2009, 05:28:57 am No worries,
To use the deivantArt link simply apply the theme, and you will see a rainbow (trust me) of colours, then you open this mssytle (the deviant are one) and flick through it until you find which/what color you want. For example; if i wanted to change the colour the taskbar, apply the msstyle (deviantArt-UK.Intel) and you will see that the taskbar will glow bright pink(im just making up the color but you understand what i mean) then open the msstyle in VSB and find that bright pink bar, and hey thats your task bar! i hope you understand that gibberish.

Post by: Kukag on October 15, 2009, 05:35:59 am Ya I get ya =P Well thanks a bunch for that I appreciate it, what I think I'm going to do is go through every single file and change everything to my liking to create a genuinely complete theme =P
Thanks for the link, also if someone would like to post the location of any of those items that will speed up my theme! Thanks, Kukag Title: Re: Where to start? Post by: Kukag on October 15, 2009, 03:03:45 pm Awesome man, I appreciate it. Just 1 thing I wanted to ask about is why do you suggest I...
"Put your image editor in the APPDATA/VSB/settings.ini folder. " If your talking about setting it to automatically open when you want to edit something, ya I already have that =P Now 1 question I REALLY couldn't figure out how to do is change the default save place it keeps putting me in the temp folder? Any suggestions? Thanks again! Kukag |
