Solved Change Explorer bg within Theme?

[Sheesey]

So, here's another question about themes. There's probably a thread about this, but I can't find it on my Phone. I want to directly modify the BG in Explorer, along side with the list beside the main section in explorer. Can I change it via the .msstyles or via Theme Resource Changer? Thanks.

It can be change in the .msstyles if you use Ave's Windows7 Style Builder if you buy it I can help you.
If you are using the default aero theme or your own custom .msstyles(you would need to post it in a zip here) I can change that for you, using Windows Style Builder and post it here in a zip folder.
If you are using a custom theme you will need to ask the theme maker. It's not cool to change someone else work.
This will be a custom theme and you will need to do 1 of these 2 ways of Enabling custom themes for it to work.

Okay, I've removed my Wallpapers that i created because they were too big, and it wouldn't let me lol. I will admit, I did use Black Aero as the base of my operations, but only because it's hard to find out which image goes to where in the default Aero theme. I replaced every file that is custom with ones I created myself. I'm sorry if this is not allowed, but I couldn't for life of me find out which image did what...Lol.

All I need was the .msstyles what color do you want the BG to be give me the RBGs if you know them?

Yup, 128 on all, please. Are you using the program you suggested, or just editing image files, like you would with Resource Tuner? If you know the image files number, could you tell me? Only Resource Tuner to work with. I can't afford any programs at the moment, so I have to go with what I have. Thanks again, dude! After this, I can get back to finishing the theme.

Yes I am using Windows Style Builder, it's a fill color not a image.
Here you go just the .msstyles is in there, if you are using that theme you need to switch to default aero theme log off log on then change the .msstyles

How would I change the fill colour with Resource Tuner?

I don't think you can. WSB lets you edit fill color, text colors and you can add text fonts, colors and give you a way to edit images with a image editor of your chose. An more.

Okay, so the .msstyles yot gave back has all my custom images removed from it. Did the program do that? And is there a free alternative to Windows Style Builder? Thanks dude.

I used the msstyles that you had in the zip folder you posted and all I did was make the 2 fill color changes there was no custom images in that msstyles that came with that zip folder that I can see, if you have a msstyles with custom images in it posted and I will change those 2 fill colors again.
There is no free alternative to Windows Style Builder or matter of fact there is no alternative to it at all. If you're going to do any kind of theming it's the best tool you could have it is only about $23 US.

I'm sorry you are right I was working on two different themes at the same time and got yours mixed up. Here is your .msstyles with the background at 128.

[Sheesey]

Hahahaha, lol. Btw, it works perfectly. When my theme is complete, and I upload it here, I will make sure to give thanks to you. I may have to upload it to a different site, as all the Wallpapers I design, are 2560x2048 and png's. Man does the Rendering take it's tole on my Computer, lol. Thanks again!

You're welcome
You could create an account at deviantART: where ART meets application! and post it there, and then post the link here.

Ironically, I have a Deviant Art acc. I've been meaning to upload all my work there, haha!

 

[Sheesey]

I can't upload my .rar to Deviant Art. It says this file is not available for hat section, or whatever. How would I go at uploading my 2 preview pics and the RAR?

 

[Bongo]

I'm not sure what your trouble is with it.
Look at the screenshots below will show you how I do it.

Will do that tomorrow. But I thought of an idea that makes me an idiot for not thinking it up already. I converted the Wallpapers to Jpegs. I'll upload it to a new thread, it's only 4.9mb so it won't kill my phone.
