You know how to change the indicator images from the super bar, say when a program is open, and when it wants ur attention? ive got restorator i can use too considering im finding vsb hard to use.. its just a pain finding images with restorater haha

Easy, Shawn taught me it earlier. Suppose we are changing firefox icon (this)
First , browse to firefox link in start menu, right click on it, and click properties
Now , click on change icon in properties window.
Browse to the location of the icon with which you are changing the existing icon, and when browsing is done, click on ok
Now look at the properties window... icon is changed, click apply and then ok
And you got this
So nothing like restorator is needed at all. This program is needed to change system (windows ) icons. If you are eager to know it , you may cook below my sig :)
hey, thanks for the awesome guide, helped me change my icons. some are stubborn and just dont change, but ill try my luck with icon packager ;D.
u know in the first pic that you uploaded, the gradient white behind the firefox icon? how would u change that image using either restorator or vsb? the explorer image that lets you know the program is running? i would like to change the images aswell, the ones that let you know if a program wants your attention and so it flashes etc. you know which i mean?
Using iconpackager ???
Please Backup Complete Computer - Create an Image Backup at once before installing iconpackager. Otherwise you would be in trouble , pal !!
And the gradient indication and other things you wanted? Just apply this theme : Soft7 2.0 BETA 1 by *AP-GRAPHIK on deviantART .
haha dont worry, i know of the dangers with icon packager.. im using the latest build.. which actually is working fine with windows 7. i havent had any issues since its got support for it. but i always have a backup :)
and hmmm, well its a nice theme by ap-graphik but i wanna mod the one i have more for my tastes.. and learn how to do it so i can try make my own theme, i was just wondering if u knew how to change the actual graphics themselves, so that my taskbar is more unique to me.. like the icons that let u know when a program is active etc.
you know how to do that using wndows 7 style builder or restorator? =S
cheers =]
Among my friends, sergiogarcia9 and scoopeeedoo can make brilliant themes . Though there are others, too, like Mark, the Bull and Paulyog, but they are not as active as the first two nowadays . So I will suggest you to contact them . They, like all the other members of seven forums, are friendly and helpful. I hope they must guide you in using Style builder and Restorator .
I have tried the Style Builder thing once, but it needs too much concentration to manage all the parts properlySo Stopped experimenting in that field .
thanks for the reply mate, after looking through windows 7 style builder i didnt find the images u were referring to, although the rough images i need were in Windows 7> Taskbar & Tray Notifty> Basic> Taskbar> TaskItemButton etc
thanks =]
yeah, im using 1.4 ill update it this arvo and see how i go, thnx =] is it possible to disable the colour overlay that windows does when u select an icon? like when it flashes yellow, or select an icon itll go with the highest percentage of colour seen in the icon?
