Help with Changing Window (caption?) buttons Ok, i've been trying to work out how its done all morning by looking through the files with restorator, but i've thrown the towel in, and am now pleading for help  I have a style i really like, but the window (min/max/close) buttons are not very nice.
7 Aero Shine black http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3666367/7Aer...Buttons%29.rar
And i found a style with great buttons, but i'm not keen on the rest of it.
Windows7 Black Transparent http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3666367/Win7...0Panels%29.rar
So, i've been trying to suss out how to extract the buttons from from the 2nd style, and use them replace the ones in the first...(is this even possible to do like that?) but not being too clued up on this, i've not been successful. I would be very grateful if someone with the brains for this could point me in the right direction, Or..(If its not too rude to ask) Can someone do it for me please? i'd be very grateful... | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Moi OS Win7 Ultimate x64 7600 CPU AMD Phenom II x4 955 Black Ed @ 3.60 Motherboard ASUSTeK M3N72-D Memory 8 Gig Kingston Graphics Card nVidia 295GTX Screen Resolution 1680x1050 & 1280x1024 x2 Keyboard OCZ Mouse Ozone Smog PSU Thermaltake 850w Cooling Arctic Cooler Hard Drives 500GB Spinpoint F3 x2 in Hardware RAID0 Internet Speed 8M |

If the extra themes have separate files from the original Aero theme (I can't check as the only theme I can use is Basic), then it should be possible...Just need to figure out where to look. I'll see what I can dig up on this... | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom OS Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit CPU Pentium 4 HT 3.2Ghz (@3.8Ghz) Motherboard Biostar P4M800CE-8237 Memory 2x 1GB DDR 200Mhz (3-3-3-8) Graphics Card ATI Radeon X1650 Pro 512MB Sound Card Sound Blaster Audigy Monitor(s) Displays Acer S231HL Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Keyboard Microsoft wireless keyboard 800 Mouse Microsoft wireless mouse 1000 PSU 650 watt Cooling 2x 80mm fan, 2x 140mm fan Hard Drives 120GB 7200RPM WD

Ahh, ok, sorry, maybe i wasn't very clear in my explanation 
I was after the Top theme (7aero shine black) as is, but with the min/max/close buttons from the bottom theme.
I should have done a mockup to make it clearer.
Here's a hastily prepaired one, if you notice, its the same as the top style, but it has the window buttons (top right) from the other style.
Thankyou for you efforts all the same though | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Moi OS Win7 Ultimate x64 7600 CPU AMD Phenom II x4 955 Black Ed @ 3.60 Motherboard ASUSTeK M3N72-D Memory 8 Gig Kingston Graphics Card nVidia 295GTX Screen Resolution 1680x1050 & 1280x1024 x2 Keyboard OCZ Mouse Ozone Smog PSU Thermaltake 850w Cooling Arctic Cooler Hard Drives 500GB Spinpoint F3 x2 in Hardware RAID0 Internet Speed 8M |

Something like this one?
To tell the truth, I won't use this one for those bugs in the start menu:
Anyway, test it at first, then find a good start menu and I will try my best to meet your requirement~~

Awesome, just what i was after, many thanks 
You must have eyes like a hawk, i never noticed them bugs, and i have been using it for a few months now, although, i wish you never mentioned it, as i am going to notice them all the time now...lol
If i may be cheeky and ask one more small favour?
you might have noticed, the style came with 2 different types of taskbar, one rounded/glossy (like in the style you did) and one flat...do you think you could a flat taskbar version too, if its not too much trouble?
As for the start menu, standard aero one would be fine, as it looks about the same as the one in the 7aeroBlack style.
I'm very grateful for all your help (even if you did tell me about the bugs  ) | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Moi OS Win7 Ultimate x64 7600 CPU AMD Phenom II x4 955 Black Ed @ 3.60 Motherboard ASUSTeK M3N72-D Memory 8 Gig Kingston Graphics Card nVidia 295GTX Screen Resolution 1680x1050 & 1280x1024 x2 Keyboard OCZ Mouse Ozone Smog PSU Thermaltake 850w Cooling Arctic Cooler Hard Drives 500GB Spinpoint F3 x2 in Hardware RAID0 Internet Speed 8M |

Please post those 2 themes with different types of taskbar with 2 folders for me to download. OK?
For example: xxxxx(rounded), and xxxx(flat).
With them I need not try each other before the modification.
I'm going to meet some friends this morning (it's 8:59 AM here in Taiwan).  They should be in your hand in 10 hours, I hope. | My System Specs | | OS Server 2008 R2 SP1, Win7 x64 Pro SP1 CPU Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 @3.3GHz Motherboard ASUS P5W DH DELUXE Memory Transcend DDRII 800 4GB (2 x 2GB ) Graphics Card GeForce 7950GX2 Sound Card Realtek ALC882M Integrated on board Monitor(s) Displays ACER AL2723 27" LCD Screen Resolution 1920x1200 Keyboard Standard Mouse Standard PSU Zippy PSL-6720P(G1)720W Case Thermaltake Kandalf VA9000SWA Cooling Zalman CNPS9500 Hard Drives WD 6401 AALS 640G x 1

Ok, this is the rounded taskbar theme. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3666367/Aero...%20taskbar.rar
You have already fixed the caption buttons, so it just needs standard Aero start menu, to fix bugs.
This is the Flat taskbar style. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3666367/Aero...latTaskbar.rar
Needs caption buttons changed & Aero Start menu to fix bugs.
Again, thankyou very much for your time, have a great day with your friends. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Moi OS Win7 Ultimate x64 7600 CPU AMD Phenom II x4 955 Black Ed @ 3.60 Motherboard ASUSTeK M3N72-D Memory 8 Gig Kingston Graphics Card nVidia 295GTX Screen Resolution 1680x1050 & 1280x1024 x2 Keyboard OCZ Mouse Ozone Smog PSU Thermaltake 850w Cooling Arctic Cooler Hard Drives 500GB Spinpoint F3 x2 in Hardware RAID0 Internet Speed 8M |

Texts of the address and search boxes glow a little more for easier to read of the "flat one":
Hope you like both of them. And, send me message if you find any bug, I'll be at your service  .
