Custom Themes, Icons and Start Buttons.

[blackroseMD1]

Thanks blackrose, I'm glad you liked them, I have to agree there is something about that green one that just stands out, I think I will probably do one with the green theme for you but not sure when or if the look will remain the same

Awesome. Take your time man, I know it takes some skill and time to get em done.

Again, thanks for all your hard work. The black glossy icons are much better than those ugly default ones that MS love so much.

No, You can still install the icons manually (They are all here MrGRiM01 on deviantART)

now this is funny. i was thinking of suggesting that people might want to do manual installs, and i ran across your post.

as suggested somewhere here manually installing would save any headaches with the api. i had a $%#@ of a time getting back into windows when i did the auto install. i do not think it was the installer, but rather tweaks made by rockers team when they tweaked the gui.

If you want you can upload the dll's for you build and I will make some custom icons for your build and that should make sure you don't have any API issues or problems with your sound.

If you have a skydrive that would be best as they are too big to upload to the forum.

Yes I have sky drive and am positive its giving my sound issues. Explain what and how to upload my .dll's and i'd be ecstatic if you could make me a custom glossy blue version of the icons! Let me know what you need.

This is getting old fast.

Once I take ownership and rename the original explorer.exe and replace it with the modified explorer.exe, every .exe (including ALL system files) I try to use gives me a "No such interface supported" error message and I'm forced to do a system restore via the installation disk

What am I glossing over here? :huh:

I'm using restorator 2009 - I wonder if that's borking explorer somehow?

Just a couple I had posted in the desktop tread.

Here is a png overlay for anyone who want to try their own text with it.

Here is what I did...

Use restorator and once your done with modifing explorer save a new copy (through restorator) somewhere on your comp. Open up Windows and take ownership of explorer...also give yourself and all administrators full access. Copy your original explorer.exe to somewhere else (as a backup). Go to Windows and rename your current explorer something else and place your modified explorer into the folder as explorer.exe. Go into task manager and kill explorer process...restart explorer process. Should be fine now

Trial and error is how I have done it, still haven't got it down to a fine art yet though.
