i personnly find cleartype gorgeous on my lcd monitor

Never seen a good digital LCD ? A good LCD in native resolution needs never Cleartype. Clearty was made for analog monitors and not for LCD.

Oh I thought you wanted the arrows.

Is there a way to give the selected column and the items in there a different background like in XP like this way:

[Default]

Toolbars, Headers and Rebar > Toolbars & Headers > Header > HeaderSortArrow
Toolbars, Headers and Rebar > Toolbars & Headers > Items View Header > HeaderSortArrow

Sorry these are only the arrows.
But I found it. If you want to replace the default white space (look at "Größe" or "Typ") than here's the place:

Toolbars, Headers and Rebar > Toolbars & Headers > Items View Header > <default>.
There is a clear overlay picture by default in it. If you delete all the properties within Default you get the same look like in "Add Remove Programs" or just change the image to your needs.

See here (it looks dirty but you can see what changed). The default white space (background) has now a shadow.



And here you can see the result when you delete all the properties within "Default":


Than it looks like in "Add Remove Programs"

[Windows Explorer]

Hi to all

Please can someone tell me where I find the buttons for the Windows explorer "arrange" and "sort" in the details pane. When the mouse goes over it they are going to blue and without they are clear. I want to change them like all the other selection buttons like Add/Remove Programs

I want to change this:



to something like this:



but I do not find the arrange and sort buttons for the Windows Explorer pane few

Can someone tell me how to get the frame title not bluri or that Windows 7 do not use the shit ClearType for that. I believe MS had never worked with real grafic people, because the clearshit is a horror for every user who makes nothing else than grafic. Is this possible or do we need to hack the explorer.exe for this?

I have never said that you have to do this so. People are complaining what all the stuff means and I have shown them to understand the sections in the shellstyle.dll what all the stuff means, so that they can better understand the format of the shellstyle.dll. Not more or less.

[documentslayoutstyle]

It is possible to style the explorer previewpane through the shellstyle.dll. This will make you autonomous from you used fonts and color in your main theme. Also animation is possible.
Here a short description about the main labels:



And here a example for the "documentslayoutstyle"

No one know anything? 

[except]

Hi to everyone

After a long search I have a few questions regarding changing the color and images on some places and I hope some of you can help me.

1. Is it possible to change this blur text with a clear text without cleartype. I do not know why MS loves this shit cleartype stuff. I'm a a grafiker and this cleartype is horror for us.

2. I changed all the tooltip stuff with this style:

except the tooltip that appears under the caption buttons, see here:
http://img407.imageshack.us/i/snag0001.png/
I want to change this also to the new style, but can't find find the locations where to!

3. Where can I change this font to Verdana or Tahoma. This is a dialog box but I do not know where to put the font attribute:

Thanks to all!
