images in aero.msstyles

MallRat · Oct 31, 2009

I'm looking for the images in aero.msstyles that represents the progressbar in the icons pinned to the taskbar, like when you copy something in explorer, a little progressbar is shown inside the icon on the taskbar ?

Can't find the exact images in aero.msstyles...

Can someone fill me in on this ?

information is greatly appreciated.

read on deviantart that computer_master (the one that made the blue progressbars posted here) himself states that somehow these taskbar progressbars aren't blue.
So there's got to be a work around for this. :huh:

Comon, let's put some heads together and figure it out. :sarc:

First of :

images 650, 651, 656, 659, 660, 664, 665, 670, 1018 and 1021

DON'T hold the image for the taskbar progressbars.

I'm searching aero.msstyles myself right now, to see if i can find the right images, but it isn't easy, cause most of them are scaled down. :cry:

Could really use some help in solving this. And it'll prove very handy in future mods, cause for instance, when applying a dark theme (and dark taskbar) with other color progressbars, these taskbar progressbars become nearly invisible.

So anyone who's up for this task is welcome to help me find it

resource 1018 works here for me, it should be a small horizontal green bar thats 42x5 in size.

I've turned mine orange just to try it.

If you're editing anything else other than the original Aero then it could be absolutly anything I'm afraid!

Yep 1018 and 1021, not sure exactly what 1021 does yet but I am sure it has something to do with it.

No offense mate but "not even" i mean common give them a break here. They answer a TON of different threads per day and they lay down hours and personal time on themes/styles for us to freely download. Give some credit and let it take time my friend =) :party:

So how would you change the taskbar progress from green to blue?

mentalcare · Nov 1, 2009

I used restorator 2007 opened the .msstyles file. Then went to the folder called "Image" Scrolled down to 1018, extracted it so i can modify the .png file to my likes.
In this case Orange. Then right click the 1018 in Restorator and Assign to and i choose the modified 1018.png file i just made. Then save it. Reload the aero.msstyles and blam Orange progress bar.

That's simple. You just extract the msstyles file, go to Photoshop and play with Hue/Saturation

Then when you're finished change the theme (if you are using the theme you want to modify) log off and then on, then apply the new images by opening the msstyles with restorator and assigning the images, then hit save. Then apply the theme in the personalization menu, and it should show

Ive found this, but whenever I click on an .msstyles theme it brings up the windows color and appearance dialog instead of applying the theme. I have uxtheme core installed.

You dont do that

There is instruction on the site as well:

1. Take ownership of aero.msstyles in windows/resources/themes/aero
2. Rename it to aero.msstyles.green
3. copy and paste this to that folder
4. restart

swarfega · Nov 1, 2009

ah so a reboot is required.

Seems so, yeah

Might be because it is the main aero theme, and not a custom one like the ones i make

MallRat · Nov 1, 2009

WOW, many many thanx, guys. this is great. It was one of the images i said afterall.

Never would've thought it to be 1018. just looks so different.

Thanx again !

MallRat · Nov 1, 2009

You're right, it is 1018 and 1021 (1021 being the shiny overlay thingy)

Much appreciated, i can see my progress again in taskbar.

i can seem to get it to work, i don't know why...

I extract the 1018/1021 files as .png format, use Photosop to change color (hue/saturation), save it as .png format, switch theme to win classic, log off, log on, replace 1018/1021 files in Restorator and finally replace aero.msstyles with the modified one...

When i try to apply any aero theme it displays only the Windows classic one, with no aero effects, in fact every theme i choose is transformed in win classic one...?!?!

If i switch back to the original aero.msstyle (green bar) everything is ok...

What am i doing wrong ?!, i even try restarting my rig a couple of times...

just assign the new images with restorator2007. then save as aero.msstyles on your desktop. then go to original aero.msstyles file, take ownership of it (rightclick) and rename to aero.msstyles.bak
then copy the new file from desktop to the folder and reboot.
No need to revert to classic theme or anything. But you NEED to save on desktop as a seperate file, and after taking ownership and renaming the old one, set the new one in place and reboot.

should work 100%

Very weird. I could give you a copy of my msstyles file, but it has black progressbars and blue taskbar progress. If that suits you, give me a hollar, and you can try my aero.msstyles. Dunno if that'll work though...

Jusk wondering... is aero enabled ? maybe you should check that also.
