Do I have to do anything special besides simply opening the theme? My user picture is still there on the start menu.

Have you patched your system for custom themes?

If not you will have to do this first then install this theme and then reboot. Sorry for not explaining.

You can download a universal theme patcher for windows 7 from here- http://www.ghacks.net/2009/05/21/windows-themes-patcher/

Anybody else get this to work? My user picture still doesn't want to disappear. I'm on build 7000 if it makes a difference

Is there an ez way to install these besides using IP? My OD sub expired.These are very nice! They go perfect with Aeroshine style.Wish you would make a complete IP set with file types too.

You could try Restoator to open the imagres and shell32 dll's and replace the relevant icons, although I didn't have allot of joy with that method, you can also open the archive with 7-Zip and extract the icons into another folder and then use them to customize icons of your chosing one at a time.

There is always the option of installing the public Iconpackager with a 30 day trial, by the time the trial is up you will probably be on the next build anyway and you can start over.

Just found this nice little free app that will let you edit and replace system icons.

IcoFX - The Free Icon Editor

Thanks Mark,

I had this already but had missed the update from 1.5 to 1.6 - major improvements

Nice find!
You mean change icons by using the resource editor on imageres.dll?

 

[Mark]

IconFX has it's own resource editor that I am trying as we speak.



That doesn't work on the imageres.dll because it is compressed.

does anyone know where i can find the shell theme "I beleive that's what it was" to change the folders blue? It might have been part of the Aero Diamond Final - the top shell - not for sure though.

I had it and did a repair, and now can't seem to find it in my theme folder, and dont want to change the wrong one.

Thanks very much, t41

 

[Mark]

The folders you need to change are in System32 and SysWOW and they are imageres.dll and shell32.dll

Mr GRiM- THANKS for that info

yeah got it back - I lost the 'Seven Aero Shine Black' download that had the icon hack as well, and forgot where I placed it. I found the link over here in this thread - http://www.sevenforums.com/customization/9336-dark-black-shellstyle.html

Funny thing is I was the last post on that thread and never thought to check out my own posts - could not find it on DA to save my life.

thanks 4 help

Anyone using Aeroshine in Win7 builds 7201 and up should see my posts here to get the icons and folders working:

Seven Aero Shine Blue For 7RC by ~molinarosp on deviantART

I have no clue why booting with a modded shell32 and then re-booting with the original shell32 fixes this. Author was no help. But it works.

Edit: I made a mistake in my last post there. Should say 7231. Not 7131.
