Windows 7: Custom Themes

z3r010 · 13 Jan 2009

I've been playing around making themes.

This is my 1st try - www.sevenforums.com/sevenforumstest.zip

For how to create a .themepack, see: Theme Pack - Create, Save, Install, and Delete

How do you save a theme once it's all set up? - I want to save mine b4 applying yours.

EDIT: Nevermind I found it - Cool theme, did you get those wallpapers from InterfaceLIFT: Wallpaper sorted by Date by any chance? I noticed cause I have some of those as my wallpaper, I was like wait a second...

lol

Yup save theme -> change drop down file type to themepack

BTW according to this doc that Shawn dug up http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...90(VS.85).aspx (themepack bit near bottom) a themepack can save wallpapers, Icons, sounds & cursors

I haven't got the tutorial put together yet for a Theme Pack, but you can get a good idea with this below for now on how to do all of this.
