    How to create your own custom Windows 7 theme?


    As above,how would i go about it and what software do i need?
    I have photoshop and restorator but is this all i need,and if so where are the files i need to edit?
    I had a quick look in windows/resources/themes/aero to see if i could modify it but it didnt pick up any available files.

    Any help would be appreciated

    I also wonder this. Right now i'm using a custom theme that I found on DeviantArt.com and a couple rainmeter skins but I wish I knew how to create my own.
