Changing the values in C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\Aero\Shell\NormalColor\shellstyle.dll worked. But, once I open Windows Style Builder and Test my modified “aero.msstyles” file, it will not show those changes, it reverts back to the default font color. I’ve tried to copy the shellstyle.dll from C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\Aero\Shell\NormalColor to .\Aero\Shell\NormalColor under which folder structure modified msstyles file is located, but it still doesn’t help. Also, when I apply modified “aero.msstyles” file through Windows Style Builder, initially everything looks right just like I modified it. But as soon as computer reboots, all Aero goes away and just Basic is displayed. Same thing happens if I just manually replace the file. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you for a quick response 3am. I am new to Windows style editing and learning as I go. Do you mind elaborating a little on the shellstyle editing process. I assume you are talking about editing the shellstyle.dll. Correct? Do I edit it with Reshacker or with Vista Style Builder. Any guidance you can provide will be much appreciated.
