Windows 7: Create custom self theme

hello there,

i have problem about my skin, not really..

areo glass, on longhorn (jade) more..amazing theme

with the Icons, logonscreen,...






just want to know how they make cool themes in seven windows, is there any tools that they use? (software, utility) or?

I use Ave's Windows7 Style Builder for the .msstyles
Some use Restorator - Bome Software - Restorator - the resource editor for customization, localization, and translation. for the .msstyles and the system files
For the navigation buttons in Windows Explorer I use this tool Windows 7 Navigation Buttons Customizer: Change Windows 7 Navigation Buttons Easily | door2windows
For the start orb I use this StartOrbz v3.1.a by ~Blizo on deviantART or you can use Windows 7 Start Orb Changer: Ultimate Tool To Change Your Start Orb | door2windows
For the logon screen I use this tutorial Log On Screen - Change

Then open your new theme .msstyle in WSB & edit it with a image editor, the 1st time you click on the edit button it will ask you to set a image editor, browse to the .exe.
Here I changed part of the start menu red
Go to
Start Menu > Panels > Aero > Top > MorePrograms
click on Edit, set your image editor then edit the image (image is blue)

I used Gimp then Save

Then click on Done Editing Image

The you can Test

See changes

Stop Testing & Save

That should get you going if you need more help ask

Do you know of anything for Icon making for like changeing the Internet Explorer Icon? and maybe something that shows me how to change it and such, Do you also know of anything to change the way your start menu looks? I seen in another psot about themes that someone had changed there and I wanted to do that aslo.

For the icon
1: Right click on internet explorer icon. select Properties dialog box, click Change Icon.
2: Click the Browse button.
3: Select the folder to which you saved your icons.
4: Select the icon you want to use, and then click Open.
5: Click OK, In the Internet Explorer Properties dialog box, click OK again.



Can you post a screenshot of the start menu?
