[Urko]

Hi how i can change the background color in save windows explorer dialog which is located two checkboxes one is write theme file and another is dont coalesce images. so in light theme this background is white and in dark mode is braun thanks in advance.

[3am]

This?



For me it's Windows 10 Dark Mode > Explorer & Shell > Shell > PreviewPaneControl > CommonItemsDialog:Edit > Background
            Windows 10 Dark Mode > Explorer & Shell > Shell > PreviewPaneControl > DarkMode CommonItemsDialog:Edit > Background

[Urko]

Yeah its working. For example address bar has some buttons in the left side which when you click it shows some kind of context menu. So how to change its text color and its hover item?

[3am]

Show me a picture of what you want.

[Urko]

This menu. In original dark mode is dark with white text and inverse for light mode

[3am]

I don't remember. I'm on Windows 11 23H2 so I don't have those old menus anymore.

[Urko]

yeah im also on windows 11 23h2 insider preview also but with start all back you have modes and the second and third mode you can see those menus please help for this and also ... in 23h2 how to change the modern command bar background when apply mica everything became with transparency with that style but only this commandbar is still dark and opaque inverse for light mode

[3am]

The menu hover color and textcolor are at

Explorer & Shell > Explorer > Items View > ListView > ListItem > Selected
Windows 10 Dark Mode > Explorer & Shell > Explorer > Items View > ListView > ListItem > Selected

I don't use SAB. I don't know anything about customizing the new command bar.

[Urko]

Super... So now I want to ask you the last for me most difficult question for help which is transparent search box in focused pressed mode. - To finalize this theme. Like the address bar it has some different options also its edit which is editbordernoscroll, backgroundwithborder and etc. This search box since windows vista I see that its editbox is different which have edit normal text filter text and 3. Is it possible to remake this edit as normal edit like adressbar?

[3am]

Are you saying you want the search box to have a focused border when clicked like the address bar does?

Then just change the border color on the images at

Address, Breadcrumb, & Search > Search > SearchBox > Basic > Normal > Active > Background > Focused
Windows 10 Dark Mode > Address, Breadcrumb, & Search > Search > SearchBox > Basic > Normal > Active > Background > Focused

[Urko]

No man i will show you with pictures what i have succeeded with address bar in windows 11 but with searchbar not as the startmenu before all programs transparency be here because i will do these pictures with my phone just be here because thats my final step until the big end of transparency evolution in windows editions.

[Urko]

That is the first picture is address bar and the second is search bar...

[3am]

I don't understand any of this. Sorry.

[Urko]

ok can you help me how to redesign searchedit to be like normal edit like edit text background with border caret and etc. so like add classmap to cmap. and delete this strange searchedit like normal text and filter text and 3 thats the first step. i talk that in focused mode adressbar i can insert transparent image but in the search the same image if you look is when you write the text its opaque black

[3am]

I can use a transparent image for the focused search box and type without a black background just fine:



So I still don't understand

[Urko]

hah ok tell me how you are do it this thats what i want... so thats our hidden secret and i will also revanche you with something

[3am]

I just replaced the image at

Address, Breadcrumb, & Search > Search > SearchBox > Basic > Normal > Active > Background > Focused

with a transparent image.

Maybe you have some added complications going on or something. But that is all that I did.

[Urko]

ok am... thats strange are you have aero background also or not? in aero section? or bools which is checked or... unchecked? something very small thats different than normal aero theme or something patched like 7tsp? something that you are doing before?

[3am]

Default msstyle. Nothing unusual at all:

[Urko]

ok am can you replace the navbar with transparent image and tray to test with mica with everyone? and also i dont see in my style builder these options.... is in light mode or dark mode and also what version of style builder u ise?

[3am]

We are talking about the old search box right? As far as I know the new search box isn't in msstyles and can't be changed with WSB.

I don't use Mica For Everyone or any of that stuff.

I use the WSB attached here just because it's fairly well organized and works ok:

https://www.vistastylebuilder.com/forum/index.php?topic=2535.msg14456#msg14456..

(This won't test unless you first open and close the Show Controls preview window when you first start it. I don't know why)

[Urko]

yes we are talking about old search box. So how to change its class maps instead of edit text and filter text to add backgroundwithborder thats what i want...

[3am]

You don't need to change the Class Maps:

In Search EditText has just a font property and value and the FilterText has just a textcolor property and value.

BackgroundWithBorder is already there like Address, Breadcrumb, & Search > Search > Edit > Basic > Normal > Active > BackgroundWithBorder for instance.

Just add and delete the properties and change the values.

[Urko]

ok am... can you look in virtualcustoms the last update of style builder and send me the link because windows 11 have a dark mode and light mode it i will tell you something the aero glass or mica for everyone or explorer blur mica its the same like the old aero glass in widows 7 also and glass8 in epoque from big muscle. all this stuff working in the same principe the reason that microsoft are never until now made transparency in focused mode adress or searchbar. i know only how but i need these options. i have an style builder actually more organised than 10 RS 1809 but... it has dark mode and light mode. but for example in dark mode it has search edit aero but not basic llke you tell me to see this background with border. also in light mode it has search edit aero but rhis time and basic but its for light mode not for dark mode. my internet is not good actually can try to find the last update of vista style builder and send me link here thank you in advance.

[3am]

The WSB I use doesn't have Light Mode because everything that isn't Dark Mode is basically Light Mode.

There is no officially latest WSB.

[Urko]

ahhh i understand now they have for 22h2 and not for 23h2 so can tou tell me how to add class to cmap please thats what i want for example dark mode - search - edit - basic - active - backgroundwithborder how to add this

[3am]

I don't know how to add it to the Class Map. Sorry.

I don't know what else to tell you except good luck!

[Urko]

ahhh thats my final step to show finally my desktop with full transparency everywhere without any of these black background like a search box into the screenshots that i upload before hah thanks for the good luck

[Urko]

Actually thats it my job is almost done. the searchbox focused i have replaced with an image opaque who have a color between the background and my colorization color so am it gives an illusion thats transparent but its actually not and many thanks for your help and now i will bring my start menu back as befoere since windows 7 and redesigned it as before.

[3am]

Just for fun I added an image to BackgroundWithBorder to see what would happen.

It showed up but only in the WSB search box:

[Urko]

Exactly my friend so my question is where is the background with border for the windows search explorer search. where is this edit for windows search but it has light mode and dark mode so it seems that in virtual customs they have something in this new wsb classmaps but... is not working because the windows search is different than this search in wsb this search in wsb i can make it without this black background which is the text writing but... windows search?
