    Creating own theme pack windows 7


    Hello,
    I want to create my own windows 7 theme pack as follows :

    1] Own Start Orb
    2] Start Menu's "Glass" part should be full transparent (not glow transparent) (white background part
    should be white)
    3] Task bar should be full transparent
    4] Window title bar should be full transparent
    5] Color of window (glass) i.e. window color should be white(transparent)
    6] Buttons like Minimize, Maximize(restore), Close should be flat as windows 8
    7] As well as list in start menu on glass part i.e. My computer, Control panel etc. mouse over effect should
    like windows 8
    8] In windows 7 default theme, window corners and start menu corners are quite curve. But windows 8
    don't have curve corners, it have quite sharp corners. So, I wish to make windows corner sharp.

    Thank you.

    With all you want done I would recommend that you purchase Ave's Windows7 Style Builder so that you can create your own custom theme.

    The start orb is not part of the .msstyles so you would either manually have to change that or look into How to use theme resource changer

    Thanks for the software link but it's too hard to use and create. Can you give me any other way to do it.

    Or

    Can you tell me how to make just Start Menu's "Glass" part full transparent (not glow transparent) (white background part should be white) AND
    Task bar full transparent

    First I recommend you start a new theme so you do not corrupt the original, look at Post #38 Here it will show you how.

    You will need to do 1 of these 2 ways of Enabling custom themes for it to work.
    Enabling Custom Themes - Windows 7
    Or
    Theme - How to Apply Custom Themes

    You'll need to use a resource hacker of some kind. In the two screenshots below are the image numbers for the start menu and taskbar that are in the default aero.msstyles

    You'll need to use a resource hacker of some kind so you can export the images and edit the with a image editor then import them back into the .msstyles.
