Imported my windows 7 theme and it seems to work pretty almost perfectly out of the box.

I have a couple of issues though:

1. Taskbar on second monitor looks weird when horizontal.

2. Haven't been able to locate the green images, selected date and focused hover in explorer breadcrumb.

Also, if I could get the shellstyle changes from http://vistastylebuilder.com/forum/index.php?topic=1976.0 ported that would be awesome .

Thanks!

Well, as long as the .dll from the theme works it's not an issue. I'm about to reinstall anyway since lots of programs decided to stop working recently (before the explorerframe ).

The addressbar is what I'm after

The what? Show me a picture

This one:

I can't say for sure it's from the explorerframe.dll but it seems logical.

By "hot color" do you mean Fonts & System Metrics > HIGHLIGHTTEXT: COLOR?

Yeah. that just happens to be what I changed mine to. But you can make it any color in msstyles if you want.

Let's say, for example, you wanted to make them Explorer & Shell > Explorer > Items View > ItemsView > TEXTCOLOR:COLOR instead then you would add foreground="themeable(gtc(ItemsView, 0, 0, 3803), windowtext)" to all of the locations and so get
<UIItem background="themeable(dtb(ItemsView::ListView, 1, 2), highlight)"  foreground="themeable(gtc(ItemsView, 0, 0, 3803), windowtext)" etc.

Just replace all those foreground="highlighttext" entries with  foreground="themeable(gtc(ItemsView, 0, 0, 3803), windowtext)" ones. Or whatever you like.

Yeah, don't worry I figured it out. I would like the open file dialog toolbar back though

Thanks, I had to change the hot color but other than that it worked perfectly! 

Is it possible to make all the text consistently white while selected and black when it isn't?


Thanks.

Looks like you can't lose the indentation in tree view. Seems that when coding a treeview the minimum indent is 5 pixels.

Would it be possible to increase it?

Could look good if I could align the icons to the Favorites text and hide the icon, like so: [link].
I guess that would work best if you could change the font on the first item as well...

Thanks again 

This should work. Let me know if it does, or if there's any issues.

Seems to work perfectly! Only the icon positioning part left now.

Obligatory screenshot:

Awesome, but it seems explorer windows are completely blank after I changed the shellstyle. I think the theme I'm basing mine on might not be using the original dll. Could you try making the same changes to the one I attached?

This is the theme in question if you need to test it.

Thanks for taking the time!
I've been curious about whether it was possible for some time, I suspected not since I haven't seen any theme with it.
I guess I'll have to find some way to work around it.

Just want to find out if any of these things are at all possible.



From the left:

• Remove the 1px space on the edge of the navigation pane (there is no window border).
• Move the subfolders
• Shrink/hide the expander

Thanks!
