i want to change the black color of the taskbar in this Browsing Visual Styles 7 on deviantART theme to a transparent one

how can i accomplish this using resourcehacker as i cant use vista style builder

Do you have Windows Style Builder? If so I can give you the locations If not I can give you the numbers so you can use resource hacker.
Do you want top, bottom, left, right taskbar images?

Hi abu46, just to show my Win7 H Prem taskbar.

This screenshot will show you the locations the blue arrows are to guide you to the images the images are the red arrows use the Export and Import Buttons highlighted in yellow with green arrows just export your images and then import them to the same locations.

If the images you are using are larger than the original you will need to add sizingmargins at the image locations with the red arrows in the above screenshot.
These screenshots will show you how to add a property
#1
Click the Add Property Button

#2
A New Property window will open use the drop down menu under Type choose margins under Property choose sizingmargins under Value put zero , space zero , space zero , space zero (0, 0, 0, 0) and click OK

Do that for the first image location then you can click on the SIZINGMARGINS:MARGINS and then click on Copy

Then go to the next image location and click Paste

Do that with all the other image locations and that will copy that margin to the other locations.
