First make a backup of the aero.msstyles file!!!
What U need is :
1. Restorator - for extracting/importing files in to aero.msstyles
2. Some graphical software - that can edit png files.
3. XVI32 - Hex editor for variant/normal color

1,2 are needed and 3 is optional because most of the colors are in png pictures.

When U have all that is needed
then copy aero.msstyles to some place easy for work/find
-start restorator
-open aero.msstyles (look the left side)
-find IMAGE and select it
-all basic and aero are in 508.png - 1108.png (picture 971.png is under STREAM)
In the earlier posts U can find the picture numbers for the start menu.
U need to edit only the white color on the pictures if U wish to replace only that.
Or U can download this pdf with some info what number is what picture (7600 win7 x64)
Aero Pic-Id.pdf

This is crazy1 but can you suggest some Graphical editor as i got Restorator & Neo Hex Editor.

by the way i have only 2 GB ram so i guess the Corel PaintShop Photo Pro X3 works on less features

guys i give up

any advice for the right side in the startmenu to fit photo size without loosing part of the photo or stretching it

i tried vistastylebuilder it stop stretching but it also miss with the whole file which means the image will not be anymore 808

1) Restorator 2007 3) Paint.net 4) Neo Hex Editor

This will do the job

As for vistastylebuilder, winowsblinds...or whatever theme editing software is a completely different process of doing it.

many thanks my friend but i have those all u remember u teach me how to use them but they don't stop stretching the 808 unless we may know the hex row that can do it
