If you purchase Window Style Builder they have an excellent forum you can join then using your e-mail and your key to the program to join and they have some tutorials and maps that will really help you out.
For the system files(explorerframe.dll, shell32.dll and imageres.dll) Restorator 2007 works really great for that it is similar but you drag-and-drop icons you have to edit them outside of the .dlls

Welcome to the Seven Forums
You have two choices one is to ask the theme maker to make the changes or purchase Ave's Windows7 Style Builder and then you can change them yourself, I could do for you but it's not cool to change someone else's work.
If you purchase Windows style builder I can help you with the locations on how to change that.
