Have you run the Universal theme patcher, that will allow you to run unsigned themes?

Hey, thanks alot man for this tip !!

It was the only thing i forgot to do, now works excellent...finally i got myself a red progress bar !

 

[MallRat]

Glad to hear that.
Can't understand though why this is necessary on your end.
Never used Uxtheme or any app like that, and have been able to modify imageres.dll,shell32.dll,explorer.exe,aero.msstyles and some other files just with restorator and replacing them.

I wonder...

Your Welcome, I think because it was modified it was classed as unsigned and you need the patch to run themes if they are unsigned, shame Microsoft don't give you all the tools natively to modify the msstyle and run unsigned themes, it would make life allot easier.

yep, it would be much easier if they include a custom theme support, maybe in upcoming ServicePacks, if the end-users give feeback about this issue..

Meh, I wouldn't count on it. :sarc:

They'll have other more urgent issues to address.
And after all, it ain't that bad. Just a little workaround really.

what program do you guys use for editing the .png files extracted from aero.msstyles, i tried something in Photoshop CS4 but it didn't go quite as i planned to...

i'll try some hue/saturation settings, as i saw on the first page, maybe it will be better

Use icoFX. Best i've found to do the job.

It can edit icons, create icons from png's up to 512x512, also windows layered icons.

Tried dozens of apps, but this one definitely sticked.

 

[maranello]

got it, i'll give it a try and report back
