| | im using Windows 7 ultimate x64... only thing in that location is aero.msstyles is there a program to explore and edit that file? doesnt seem as if that basic theme uses that file since i can delete it when the basic theme is loaded and when i open a msstyles file it opens the dialog to edit windows appearance but only when no theme is loaded |

| | If you are using the Windows 7 Basic Theme like I highlighted in red in post #2 the images are in the aero.msstyle in C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\Aero You can use Ave's Windows7 Style Builder or Restorator - Bome Software - Restorator - the resource editor for customization, localization, and translation. to open the aero.msstyle & Photoshop or Gimp, Paint, to edit the images Jerry |
