Noob trying to change button colours on 14393 aerolite theme

[Lum]

Just boought WSB as I want to recolour the stock aerolite theme to purple, starting with buttons and hover colours just to see how it works.

I've got the latest beta and am working on aerolite.msstyles (renamed to purplelite.msstyles), have changed as many colours as I can find, as well as various images that look related (508, 522, 593, 594, 595, 596, 659 and 863, but still I get blue squares when I hover over buttons and menuitems, and the buttons are still grey.

I'm sure I'm making a stupid obvious mistake, but can someone help a noob out?

First forget Aerolite. Edit a renamed copy of Aero msstyles instead.

Which buttons do you want to change? Try to be specific. There's lots of buttons. Pictures always help.

I kinda prefer the look of aerolite though.

And for now I'm just trying to change the look of the ordinary command buttons, eventually hoping to get rid of all the ugly grey and blue bits in the theme.



is where I'm at currently. As you can see there's a few bits need changing still.

Theming Aerolite is a mistake because some of it isn't themeable, it has a lot of unknown properties etc etc .....


If this VM window is themeable through the msstyles then:


The buttons on the bottom right are Buttons, Boxes, & Controls > Buttons > Button > PushButton

The button on the bottom left is likely Explorer & Shell > Shell > TaskDialog > ExpandoButton

The slider in the middle is Buttons, Boxes, & Controls > Scroll Bars & Trackers > TrackBar

The square buttons are Buttons, Boxes, & Controls > Buttons > Button > CheckBox

The buttons on the top like "Display" are Lists, Menus, & Tabs > Tab

Thank you. I'll start again using Aero.

Is there any way to batch export and import all images so I can colourise them with a script rather than one at a time in gimp?

No
