I played around in VSB for the first time in what feels like months.  This update looks to be very helpful.  Thanks for your continuing support Panda-X! 

[bhast2]

me likey

[sunbeam2000]

i suggest, Panda knows, but if still not sure:

for the Previewpane> 1 > 1 : it's the HorizontalShineLayer
Previewpane > 1 > 2 : it's the VerticalShineLayer (which - i assume - is completely unused meanwhile, i take it for Save-DialogPane Shinelayers in Shellstyle.txt)

[Panda X]

Updated Vista's XML to match that of 7.

Code:

Old                                                                     New
ABS > B > B > N > A > <1>						ABS > B > B > N > A > OA
THR > TH > BB > B > N > A						ABS > B > B > N > A > AC
THR > TH > BB > B > N > I						ABS > B > B > N > A > IC
THR > TH > G								ABS > A > G
ABS > H									ES > E > H
O > F									TST > ST > B > F
O > L									ES > S > L
O > TG									ES > S > TG
O > TH									ABS > S > TH

It would be great if we could get the rest of the naming for Preview Pane.

Done.

Just to be clear, how would I go about applying this to my copy of VSB (or do I just re-download it)?

It'll be out whenever 1.6 releases. Or I could see if Ave would allow an XML only update if it'll be awhile for 1.6.

  Explorer & Shell > Explorer >  Control Panel > Command Module > Unknown > Unknown could be renamed:

  Explorer & Shell > Explorer >  Control Panel > Command Module > Main Text: TextColor:Color


You might want to take some Vista Legacy items out of Vista Legacy such as:

 VistaLegacy > TaskBar+TrayNotify > TaskBar > Aero > Rebar: TextColor:Color
                                                              > Basic > Rebar > Chevron
VistaLegacy > TaskBar + TrayNotify >Taskbar > Basic > ToolBar > TextColor:Color
                                                                                      > Button

And placed in Taskbar & SystemTray > System Tray > Basic > Toolbar and renamed something like

Taskbar & SystemTray > System Tray > Basic > Toolbar > Rebar:TextColor:Color
                                                                            > Rebar > Chevron
                                                                           > Language Button: TextColor:Color
                                                                           > Language Button


                                                             

[satukoro]

Do you think it would be ok if you uploaded the xml file(s) so that we can swap out the vsb xml's ourselves? I figure it would probably work all right seeing as how most of us here are familiar with backing up files and replacing them (and how to restore it if something messes up).

                                                                           > Language Button

First four I've already done.     

Last one I don't know. Any Rebar and Toolbar would use those properties and it'd be best to keep the naming consistent.

[bhast2]

It'll be out whenever 1.6 releases. Or I could see if Ave would allow an XML only update if it'll be awhile for 1.6.

It would be nice to have a maybe 1.5.5 update with some of these changes while we wait on 1.6

talk him into it lol

[hjyknight]

PandaX, I want to know how to edit xml file to make the start menu tree & Basic Window look like yours?

I've changed others, but I don't know how to change the start menu tree.

Thank you~

and I think the value noInheritParts should be true
<class description="Aero Superbar Taskband" name="TaskBand2Composited::TaskBand2" noInheritParts="false">

and here are some locations that may be helpful. Look at the attach. those locations haven't been named in 1.4.1 xml

In 1.png

             Style >Flyoutstyle > <3> > <3> TextColor is the textcolor of "Show More Details" in previewpane of explorer.

In Snap7.jpg

             Red: Taskbar & System Tray > System Tray > Basic > System Tray Icons Panel Flyout > 6             Fillcolor
             ①: Taskbar & System Tray > System Tray > Basic > System Tray Icons Panel Flyout > 5               Image
             ②: Taskbar & System Tray > System Tray > Basic > System Tray Icons Panel Flyout > 7               Image

Plz forgive my poor English.

[3am]

Preview Pane >8  is in Save Dialogue  (if you save a picture it is "Date Taken")

Preview Pane >9 > 2 is in Save Dialogue also (if you save a picture it is "Specify Date Taken")

So they are no longer unknown.

Edit: Found only in Snipping Tool Save Dialog

[Panda X]

Preview Pane >8  is in Save Dialogue  (if you save a picture it is "Date Taken")

Preview Pane >9 > 2 is in Save Dialogue also (if you save a picture it is "Specify Date Taken")

So they are no longer unknown.

Thanks.

[Panda X]

You already posted this in :   Reply #9 on: March 28, 2010, 08:11:42 am

 I guess you must be adding and not renaming PreviewPane > 2 >1, 2 >2, 2 >3 and 2 >4. All I have is PreviewPane > 2. Nothing else.

Oops. And yeah I added the states and named them.

[RoBy46]

How can I upgrade?

[hjyknight]

How can I upgrade?

Just edit the classmap.xml and classgroup.xml.

Look at my wsb.

[hjyknight]

Why did you rename FlyoutStyle > Link > <2> to "Hot",  What's wrong with "Emphasized"?

on the other hand, I totally agree with you to named Tooltip > <7> to "Options", that the original name is "Wrench"

And Can you tell us in details?

I defined Alttab in Chinese, but I don't know what you defined.

   
       <class name="AltTab">
      <parts>
         <part id="1" name="1.鼠标悬停某项目(Hot)"/>
         <part id="2" name="2.按键悬停某项目(Focused)"/>
         <part id="3" name="3.标题栏(Title)"/>
         <part id="4" name="4.阴影背景(Shadow)"/>
         <part id="5" name="5.同时悬停某项目/按下鼠标()"/>
      </parts>
   </class>

I defined Alttab in Chinese, but I don't know what you defined.

Because Link > 2 is a hover/hot state. And I named 'Wrench' 'Options' because it's an options button.

Removed inherited parts from:

Taskbar & System Tray > System Tray > Basic > Horizontal > Button:Open
Taskbar & System Tray > System Tray > Basic > Horizontal > Button
Taskbar & System Tray > System Tray > Basic > Vertical > Button:Open
Taskbar & System Tray > System Tray > Basic > Vertical > Button

Re-added inheritance to:

Taskbar & System Tray > TaskBand > Basic > TaskBand (Vertical)
Taskbar & System Tray > TaskBand > Basic > TaskBand (SmallIcons)
Taskbar & System Tray > TaskBand > Basic > TaskBand (SmallIconsVertical)

Moved TaskBarVert::ToolBar and TaskBarVertComposited::ToolBar from Vista Legacy to Taskbar & System Tray.

This (I hope!) will be the final N00b question from me. Not toooooo bad as only began using late yesterday!!
The Question:-

You're talking about 1.6 and I've just got 1.5. How do I know when an update is available? I agree with other previous posts though, would be handy to have the XML files as a "pre-empt" to the official release.

Got to add, after the "ease" of doing XP (I skipped vista) 7 seems a bit complicated (different paths) to mod. This apps made my life so much easier!
